LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
ven if he hadn't been a player in a famous chapter of the American civil rights struggle, J.L. Chestnut's life story would be fun to read. And along the way, Chestnut manages some truly illuminating observations.
Kathleen Ann Goonan's work has been dazzling science fiction fans since 1994's "Queen City Jazz," the first book in what would become known as her Nanotech Quartet.
Never one to work on a small canvas, E.L. Doctorow has now written his own Bible. And like the original, parts of the novel are transcendent and inspired while others feel rote, even suspect.
Also, the follow-up to Helen Fielding's first "Bridget" novel, a group of books on folk art, and more.
