Book Description
Ralphy is the story of a typical Midwestern U.S. family into whose lives is thrust a misfit, a boy who was born flat and resembles a fish. Ralphy is a throwback to the time when human beings made a wrong turn and separated themselves from the other animals. In Breakthrough, Arthur M. Raintree, Ph.D., achieves his lifelong desire to become a research scientist, but discovers that his work is of far less importance than living in peace and love with his family. In the year 2020, the government has become a wasteland of military and religious righteousness. There is only one person who can save us from self-destruction before it is too late, a genius who is prepared to die in order to accomplish this revolution.

Book Description
Mary Shelley's Early Novels seeks to redress the commonly held view that Mary Shelley was simply another mouthpiece for her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her most challenging and ambitious novels; Frankenstein, Valperga, and The Last Man, are examined in the light of her intellectual relationship with Percy Shelley. We see the way in which these novels reflect her gradual rejection of his radical tenets in an assertion of her own intellectual and ideological independence.

Book Description
“Banks has skillfully used his repertoire of contemporary techniques to write a novel that is classically American—a dark, but sometimes funny, romance with echoes of Poe and Melville.” — Washington Post "A marvelously written little book, fascinatingly intricate, yet deceptively simple. Well worth reading more than once." — New York Times Book Review From acclaimed author Russell Banks comes a work of fiction utilizing a form invented in the seventeenth century by imprisoned Puritan divines Designed to be exemplary, works of this type were aimed at brethren outside the prison walls and functioned primarily as figurative dramatizations of the tests of faith all true believers must endure. These “relations,” framed by scripture and by a sermon explicating the text, were usually read aloud in weekly or monthly installments during religious services. Utterly sincere and detailed recountings of suffering, they were nonetheless highly artificial. To use the form self-consciously, as Banks has done, is not to parody it so much as to argue good-humoredly with the mind it embodies, to explore and, if possible, to map the limits of that mind, the more intelligently to love it.
