True History of the Kelly Gang

In a spectacular feat of literary ventriloquism, Peter Carey invites the outlaw Ned Kelly to tell his story. He summons the rollicking, unschooled, hugely colorful voice of Australia's best-known underdog for a bravura book-length performance.
Selected Non-Fictions

He is most widely read for his fiction, but this intelligently selected and magically translated collection of Borges' nonfiction demonstrates, among other things, the closeness of his two worlds, reality and invention.

The Biographer's Tale

British novelist A.S. Byatt is entranced with the idea of the literary scholar as detective.

Sidetracks: Explorations of a Romantic Biographer

Romanticism is one of those things that eludes a simple definition. Numerous scholars have slung formulas at it, few of which seem to stick with much conviction, inevitably peeling off and landing in a heap of slightly modified and overturned theories.

"First and Last Seasons: A Father, a Son, and Sunday Afternoon Football"by Dan McGraw.
Football requires brawn, stamina and an overarching toughness, and so too, at times, does fatherhood. This overlap is the yardage traversed by this brilliant pair of memoirs, both rhapsodic and ruthlessly candid accounts of lives lived from Sunday to Sunday and scoreboard to scoreboard.
"The Beast God Forgot to Invent" by Jim Harrison
"The Beast God Forgot to Invent," a collection of three novellas.This time he's a 55-year-old author of quickie biographies who's made a fortune and finds himself full of energetic regrets and unanswered questions about the choices he's made. In a full-throttle voice prone to witty asides and entertaining digressions, he tells about his impulsive decision to scrap his lucrative business and track down a woman he was once briefly married to, and then to detour to Spain, which he's never visited.
