  2. 'Secrets of the Sea' by Nicholas Shakespeare

    FOR THOSE of us who don't expect to travel soon to Tasmania, reading Nicholas Shakespeare's "Secrets of the Sea" is a decent alternative. His fifth novel draws much of its allure from its wild setting on this remote Australian island at the bottom of the world (next stop: the polar ice cap), and the artful ways in which he infuses his narrative with Tasmanian flora, fauna and lore.

  8. 'Nothing But Blue Skies' by Thomas McGuane

    Tom McGuane's work has always been vibrant with the pleasures of ironic language, play and chase, and quick with the kind of brokenhearted humor that mirrors large-scale fracturing inside our society. We can't stand behind many of our preconceptions any...

  9. Versed in Hiding

    For more than two decades after that awful February day in 1989, when Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini asked Muslims everywhere to kill Salman Rushdie for allegedly offending Islam with his novel &ldquo;The Satanic Verses,&rdquo; the author was never sure that he would write a memoir about his life in hiding. In the early years, shuttling from one undisclosed location to another, Rushdie wasn't confident that he would survive long enough to write such a book. Khomeini's fatwa, after all, was no idle threat. The Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz, who had won the Nobel Prize for Literature the year before the &ldquo;Satanic Verses&rdquo; controversy, faced similar calls for his own assassination, and for similar reasons; in response, an Islamic fundamentalist stabbed the 82-year-old writer in the neck outside his home in Cairo in 1994. He survived, but barely, sustaining nerve damage so severe that he could write only a few minutes a day for the rest of his life.

  11. Word power

    Earlier this year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a 100-book required reading list for his compatriots, it provoked anxiety, rekindling memories of Soviet-era censorship. The furor underscored an important point: that literature plays a fundamental role in defining a country's culture and its discourse.

  12. Feedback: If you could dine with an author, who would it be?

    Definitely Christopher Fowler, who writes the "Peculiar Crimes Unit" and "Bryant &amp; May" series. He has such a great sense of humor and knows so much about the history of London. His books are so much fun to read.
