		<description><![CDATA[The paperback edition of Kenneth Slawenski's biography of America's iconic literary recluse was released the beginning of this year. I read it, curious about the many things I probably didn't know about the man who wrote "The Catcher in the Rye." One of my biggest surprises was learning Salinger fought in some of World War II's most difficult battles. I also came to know Salinger as less of a bizarre eccentric and more of a person whose experiences influenced his behavior.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=11361&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a debut novel published by one of my fav publishing houses, Biblioasis. They send me unusually good books, and this time's no exception. "Malarky" by Anakana Schofield offers a unique perspective on an Irish woman's reaction to her husband's affair and her son's homosexuality. It's powerfully addictive.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=11290&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've never read nor intend to read "Steal This Book" by the Sixties anti-establishment icon Abbie Hoffman, but that didn't get in the way of my wanting the book. Not any edition, rather a first edition paperback, signed by the activist, for sale at last weekend's New York Antiquarian Book Fair. Here's the tale of that brief love affair between me and the book, plus a look at Terry Bisson's new novel that takes place during Hoffman's busiest protesting years, "Any Day Now."<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=11160&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Gardner published "Grendel" in 1971, eleven years before his tragic death at age 49 in a motorcycle accident. The story is a spin-off taken from the medieval epic poem "Beowulf," giving us the viewpoint of the monster Grendel, whom the Scandinavian hero Beowulf slays. A rare acquisition of the book's ARC brought Gardner's novel to my attention again. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=11107&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A British author named Elizabeth Taylor published much admired books in the mid-20th century. At the same time, the legendary American actress Elizabeth Taylor won world-reknowned fame, obscuring the author's literary name recognition. New York Review Books recently reissued two of the author's novels, "Angel" and "A Game of Hide and Seek." I read the latter, considered by some to be one of Taylor's best. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=11049&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Timing is everything, and for Caroline Gordon that was particularly true for her novel about the American Civil War. Had she published "None Shall Look Back" prior to 1936, some believe her Southern war story would've trumped Margaret Mitchell's classic. I wanted to read Gordon's novel and find out for myself. Here's the outcome.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=10942&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
