"Langston Hughes is a titanic figure in 20th-century American literature. This book is a glorious revelation." - Boston Globe is sumptuous and sharp, playful and sparse, grounded in an earthy music. "The ultimate book for both the dabbler and serious scholar. Alongside such famous works as "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and "Montage of a Dream Deferred", The Collected Poems includes Hughes's lesser-known verse for children topical poems distributed through the Associated Negro Press and poems such as "Goodbye Christ" that were once suppressed. The collection spans five decades, and is comprised of 868 poems (nearly 300 of which never before appeared in book form) with annotations by Arnold Rampersad and David Roessel. Lyrical and pungent, passionate and polemical, the result is a treasure of a book, the essential collection of a poet whose words have entered our common language. Here, for the first time, are all the poems that Langston Hughes published during his lifetime, arranged in the general order in which he wrote them.

In 1990 Sri Lanka, any one of these might have been enough to get him killed. Maali is (or rather was) a war photographer, compulsive gambler, and inveterate hopper into the beds of handsome young men. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida begins with the violent death of its protagonist. There's an entirely defensible case for Seven Moons as a nominee in the upcoming Hugo awards (or if not that, one of the wider-ranging genre awards like the Crawford or World Fantasy), and my only real complaint about The Birth Lottery is that it doesn't include a publication history, making it impossible to know which of the stories in it are awards-eligible. Taken together, they not only make for some engrossing and delightful reading, but reveal Karunatilaka as firmly embedded in the SFF tradition. The Birth Lottery and Other Surprises is a collection of Karunatilaka's short fiction, currently slated for publication in the US and UK in the spring, but I was able to snag a copy during a work trip to India earlier this month. The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is, of course, last year's Booker winner, a slightly out-of-nowhere choice for an award that has been getting more adventurous and interesting in recent years. Included in the reams of documentation for this book are personal papers that have only recently been released and which inform Einstein’s early years.Įven for its completeness, the biography is not heavy-handed. An astounding number of paragraphs in the text contain first-person quotes or references to personal correspondence. Relying scrupulously on primary sources, Isaacson details the ideas, pressures, relationships, and political context that surrounded Einstein. Similarly, Einstein’s politics were based on the idea of creating and empowering a one-world government.įollowing this overarching theme of Einstein’s life, Isaacson’s book is a unifying force in our understanding of Einstein. His theory of the photovoltaic effect, for which he won the Nobel Prize, brought together ideas of quanta and the nature of light. His theory of general relativity connected the dissimilar ideas of gravity and electromagnetism. Einstein was compelled to explore ways to bring together disparate parts of science. Throughout this most-encompassing biography of Albert Einstein, Walter Isaacson continually returns to a theme that pervaded Einstein’s life: that of unification.
