George Gadson:

Success runs in our race

George Fraser

"It's an excellent book. It's about networking in the African-American community. It's about how to use what you can learn there, and the community's resources, to help yourself to become successful."

Joseph McNair:

Associate professor of education at the North Campus of Miami-Dade Community College

Yuguru

Marimba Ani

"It's a critique of Western European thought and behavior. It's an excellant polemic. I read mysteries, fantasies, books on the occult, religion, education and philosophy. I'm a very eclectic reader."

CRITIC'S CHOICE

--THE TUNNEL: SPINNING OUT THOUGHTS OF ART, EVIL AND THE SELF. By William Gass. Knopf. 652 pp. $30.

William Gass' first novel in 30 years is a complex, ambitious novel/meditation about a middle-aged scholar, William Frederick Kohler. The real interest here comes from the literary trickery, the tension between narrative and commentary. Very good, but only for the literati.

-- AN ANTHROPOLOGIST ON MARS: SEVEN PARADOXICAL TALES. By Oliver Sacks. Knopf. 328 pp. $24.

Neurologist Oliver Sacks writes with great scientific and scholarly erudition, but is always lucid and entertaining. This is literature in the highest sense, as well as excellent popular science.
