"You stink! Your jokes are very offensive!" -Anonymous email"No! For the last time, you can't quote me on the cover of your stupid book! Now stop emailing or I'll report you to your ISP!" -Scott Ryan, author of Objectivism and the Corruption of Rationality: A Critique of Ayn Rand's Epistemology"I know Bob Wallace; the man is a hater. He deliberately says nasty things about statism, imperialism and war. It's really quite shocking." -Manual Miles, aka Kaptain Kanada"You're a psycho." -another anonymous email"This book will not improve your sex life, help you lose 30 lbs in 30 days, or show you the way to financial freedom and security. It is, however, guaranteed to give the politically correct apoplexy. Give a copy to your favorite statist/collectivist, Republican/Democrat, or PC Marxist type and watch the fun. (No refunds-medical insurance slightly extra.)" -John Moulton aka the Wyoming Redneck"Please buy Bob's book so he can pay off his car." -Gregg Ozimek, MS, EconomicsA politically incorrect look at having your brains stolen, growing a six-foot-long arm, Karl Marx in Hell, the wisdom of Pinky and the Brain, grandmothers beating up rude people, and lots of other strange stuff.

George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

From the winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence and “one of our most gifted writers” (Chicago Tribune), Saul and Patsy is "stunning, never predictable, glimmering fiction, full of mischief and insight" (The Los Angeles Times). Five Oaks, Michigan is not exactly where Saul and Patsy meant to end up. Both from the East Coast, they met in college, fell in love, and settled down to married life in the Midwest. Saul is Jewish and a compulsively inventive worrier; Patsy is gentile and cheerfully pragmatic. On Saul’s initiative (and to his continual dismay) they have moved to this small town–a place so devoid of irony as to be virtually “a museum of earlier American feelings”–where he has taken a job teaching high school. Soon this brainy and guiltily happy couple will find children have become a part of their lives, first their own baby daughter and then an unloved, unlovable boy named Gordy Himmelman. It is Gordy who will throw Saul and Patsy’s lives into disarray with an inscrutable act of violence. As timely as a news flash yet informed by an immemorial understanding of human character, Saul and Patsy is a genuine miracle.
