The Echo Maker
by
Powers, Richard
Winner of the 2006 National Book Award
"The Echo Maker" is "a remarkable novel, from one of our greatest novelists, and a book that will change all who read it" ("Booklist," starred review).
On a winter night on a remote Nebraska road, twenty-seven-year-old Mark Schluter has a near-fatal car accident. His older sister, Karin, returns reluctantly to their hometown to nurse Mark back from a traumatic head injury. But when Mark emerges from a coma, he believes that this woman--who looks, acts, and sounds just like his sister--is really an imposter. When Karin contacts the famous cognitive neurologist Gerald Weber for help, he diagnoses Mark as having Capgras syndrome. The mysterious nature of the disease, combined with the strange circumstances surrounding Mark's accident, threatens to change all of their lives beyond recognition. In "The Echo Maker," Richard Powers proves himself to be one of our boldest and most entertaining novelists. |

The Great Unraveling: Losing Our Way in the New Century
by
Krugman, Paul
A major bestseller, this influential and wide-ranging book has been praised by "Business Week as Krugman's "most provocative and compelling effort yet," the "New York Review of Books as "refreshing," and "Library Journal as "thought-provoking...even funny." "The American Prospect put it in vivid terms: "In a time when too few tell it like it is...Krugman] has taken on the battle of our time." Built from award-winning economist Paul Krugman's influential Op-Ed columns for the "New York Times, this book galvanized the reading public. With wit, passion, and a unique ability to explain complex issues in plain English, Krugman describes how the nation has been misled by a dishonest administration. The paperback features a new introduction as well as new writings. From irrational exuberance to corporate scandals, from the war in Iraq to the looting of California to the false pretenses used to sell an economic policy that benefits only a small elite. Krugman tells the uncomfortable truth like no one else. |

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them...: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right
by
Franken, Al
Al Franken, "one of our savviest satirists" ("People"), takes on the issues, the politicians, and the pundits in one of the most anticipated books of the year.
For the first time since his own classic "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot" and "Other Observations," Al Franken trains his subversive wit directly on the contemporary political scene. Now, the "master of political humor" ("Washington Times") destroys the myth of liberal bias in the media, and exposes how the Right shamelessly tries to deceive the rest of us.
No one is spared as Al uses the Right's own words against them. Not the Bush administration and their rhetorical hypocrisy. Not Ann Coulter and her specious screeds. Not the new generation of talk-radio hosts, and not Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, and the entire Fox network. This is the book Al Franken fans have been waiting for (and his foes have been dreading). Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, "Lies" is sure to become the most talked about book of political humor in 2003 and beyond. |
