MYTHOLOGIES by Roland Barthes
NON-FICTION
Released: May 1, 1972

BOOK REVIEW

Released: April 14, 1989

A quiet, homely first collection that pays tribute to hardscrabble lives: the stories are sometimes transparent to a fault, with upbeat endings that seem a little forced, but mostly they're cleanly told and affecting. Read full book review >

BLOOD ON THE STREET by Annette Meyers
MYSTERY THRILLER
Released: June 1, 1992

Headhunter Leslie Wetzon is having an awful week: she and her partner, Xenia Smith, have escalated their bickering; her cop- boyfriend is away; she has to move from her apartment; and a broker she's just placed in a new firm, Brian Middleton, didn't show up for his new job. Read full book review >

BOOK REVIEW

THE LAST ONE HOME by Annette Appollo
FICTION & LITERATURE
Released: March 1, 1999

"Despite vivid enough characters, including Gia herself, whose feistiness is a tad grating, Appollo's debut remains pretty much a storyboard concept."
