  19. Astral Weeks: A 'guide' that perplexes

    The late Douglas Adams' unstoppably popular 1979 novel, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (HG2G), is about, among other things, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," "one of the most remarkable books ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor," an idiosyncratic interstellar how-to for those interested in hitching rides on spaceships and generally surviving on 30 Altairian dollars a day. What does it mean when a book about an extraordinary book itself becomes an extraordinary book?

  23. Eyes on you

    Back in high school, a friend buried his paperback of Stephen King's "Night Shift" out in the yard: The mere presence of the eye-studded hand on the cover was enough to bother his sleep. I've recently had a similarly violent reaction to Miles J. Breuer's <b>"The Man With the Strange Head and Other Early Science Fiction Stories"</b> (University of Nebraska: 430 pp., $21.95 paper), whose cover shot gives us eyes without a face: the back of a bald head, pink and intimate, punctuated by a pair of startled peepers. (Turning the book over, as I have now done, is a halfway measure at best: For some cruel reason, the designer has slapped the image onto the back as well, at about a quarter the size.) Such a stomach-turning cover will pretty much insure that few readers pick up this book, a diverting, often fascinating grab-bag of fiction (and some nonfiction) by Breuer (1889-1945).
