It's the 1950's, and Bauer creates a small narrative gem that draws from the lives of novelist Flannery O'Connor and poet Robert Lowell. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=13528&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Except Sherman residents in Brazaitis’ “The Incurables” don't feel trapped, like Anderson and Pollock's characters. Far from it. Here are their stories.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=13388&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, Sam Savage brings his unique insight and humor to another noteworthy novel. "The Way of the Dog," similar to Savage's previous novels, uses a strong first-person narrator whose personality rises up off the page, as if talking to you in person. His name is Harold Nivenson, and he has a lot to say.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=13197&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

McFadden has fictionalized the historical event, spinning a seductive story with a magical vision. Here you'll also find links to resources concerning the Emmett Till story, including an interview with Emmett's cousin, who was present the night the killers took Emmett from his bed.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=12951&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["La Petite" by Michele Halberstadt and translated by Linda Coverdale is a short (barely beyond 100 pages) memoir set in Paris 1968. It recounts events surrounding Halberstadt's childhood suicide attempt and demonstrates the devastating power of dismissive indifference. Michele Halberstadt is an award-winning French author, journalist and film producer. She's written a brave memoir that concludes with keen revelation.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thelongestchapter.com&#038;blog=6766929&#038;post=12910&#038;subd=thelongestchapter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
