Farrar Straus and Giroux

Book Review: “Last Resort” — A Romp About Fiction, Riches, and Friendship

Make what you will of this often page-turning confection, which if not particularly literary, may be a bunch of fun.

By: Drew Hart Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Andrew Lipstein, Farrar, Farrar Straus and Giroux, Last Resort

Book Review: “To Walk Alone in the Crowd” — Masterpiece or Mess?

Like Blinky in Pac-Man, the narrator of this provocative but often frustrating and diffuse book gobbles up everything.

By: David Mehegan Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Antonio Muñoz Molina, David Mehegan, Farrar Straus and Giroux, To Walk Alone in the Crowd

Poetry Review: Maureen N. McLane’s “More Anon” — Lots of Existential Fun

Her poems are sassy.

By: Jim Kates Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Farrar Straus and Giroux, Jim Kates, Maureen N. McLane, More Anon, Poetry

Book Review: Louie’s Blues — Menand Chills With The Cold War Crowd

To his credit, Louis Menand personalizes his historical cast and humanizes ideologies and aesthetics.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Books, Commentary, Featured, Review Tagged: Farrar Straus and Giroux, Louis Menand, The Free World

Book Review: “Jack” — The Romance of Revelation

A taboo interracial romance may not be groundbreaking material for fiction, but Robinson’s spare conflicts are only the means to generate intimations of the profound in the everyday.

By: Landry Harlan Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Farrar Straus and Giroux, Jack, Landry Harlan, Marilynne Robinson
