If you write an email to a friend about a fantasy involving your gorgeous boss, don’t send it to All Staff…<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not easy to reinvent yourself, but my thirteen-year-old son and I are ready for a new start. Old Maggie was a magnet for disaster, but New Meg is going to be elegant, sophisticated\u2026 and blonde. I\u2019ve landed a dream job at the other end of New Zealand as PA to three rich directors who spoil me rotten, I\u2019ve found a beautiful new apartment, and I feel reborn.<\/p>\n

Then I write an email to a friend describing in vivid detail what I want to do to the sexiest of the directors\u2014involving melted chocolate and\/or whipped cream\u2014and mistakenly send it to All Staff. It turns out that New Meg is pretty much just Old Maggie with different packaging. Some things never change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Naomi Roth is the first female president of Webster College, a once conservative school now known for producing fired-up, progressive graduates. So Naomi isn’t surprised or unduly alarmed when Webster students begin the fall semester with an outdoor encampment around “The Stump”-a traditional campus gathering place for generations of student activists-to protest a popular professor’s denial of tenure. A former student radical herself, Naomi admires the protestors’ passion, especially when her own daughter, Hannah, joins their ranks.<\/div>\n
\n

Then Omar Khayal, a charismatic Palestinian student with a devastating personal history, emerges as the group’s leader, and the demonstration begins to consume Naomi’s life, destabilizing Webster College from the inside out. As the crisis slips beyond her control, Naomi must take increasingly desperate measures to protect her friends, colleagues, and family from an unknowable adversary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In this deeply etched and haunting memoir, Vivian Gornick tells the story of her lifelong battle with her mother for independence. There have been numerous books about mother and daughter, but none has dealt with this closest of filial relations as directly or as ruthlessly. Gornick\u2019s groundbreaking book confronts what Edna O\u2019Brien has called \u201cthe principal crux of female despair\u201d: the unacknowledged Oedipal nature of the mother-daughter bond.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in the Bronx, the daughter of \u201curban peasants,\u201d Gornick grows up in a household dominated by her intelligent but uneducated mother\u2019s romantic depression over the early death of her husband. Next door lives Nettie, an attractive widow whose calculating sensuality appeals greatly to Vivian. These women with their opposing models of femininity continue, well into adulthood, to affect Gornick\u2019s struggle to find herself in love and in work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Daniel Carter used to be a homicide detective, but his last case — the hunt for a serial killer — went wrong in strange ways and soured the job for him. Now he’s a private investigator trying to live a quiet life. Strangeness, however, has not finished with him. First he inherits a bookstore in Providence from someone he’s never heard of, along with an indignant bookseller who doesn’t want a new boss. She’s Emily Lovecraft, the last known descendant of H.P. Lovecraft, the writer from Providence who told tales of the Great Old Ones and the Elder Gods, creatures and entities beyond the understanding of man. Then people start dying in impossible ways, and while Carter doesn’t want to be involved, but he’s beginning to suspect that someone else wants him to be. As he reluctantly investigates, he discovers that Lovecraft’s tales were more than just fiction, and he must accept another unexpected, and far more unwanted inheritance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Raised by unconventional Irish Catholics who knew “how to drink, how to dance, how to talk, and how to stir up the devil,” Kate Mulgrew grew up with poetry and drama in her bones. But in her mother, a would-be artist burdened by the endless arrival of new babies, young Kate saw the consequences of a dream deferred.<\/p>\n

Determined to pursue her own no matter the cost, at 18 she left her small Midwestern town for New York, where, studying with the legendary Stella Adler, she learned the lesson that would define her as an actress: “Use it,” Adler told her. Whatever disappointment, pain, or anger life throws in your path, channel it into the work.<\/p>\n

It was a lesson she would need. At twenty-two, just as her career was taking off, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Having already signed the adoption papers, she was allowed only a fleeting glimpse of her child.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As Jane Alison writes in the introduction to her insightful and appealing book about the craft of writing: \u201cFor centuries there\u2019s been one path through fiction we\u2019re most likely to travel\u2015 one we\u2019re actually told to follow\u2015and that\u2019s the dramatic arc: a situation arises, grows tense, reaches a peak, subsides . . . But something that swells and tautens until climax, then collapses? Bit masculosexual, no? So many other patterns run through nature, tracing other deep motions in life. Why not draw on them, too?”<\/p>\n

W. G. Sebald\u2019s Emigrants was the first novel to show Alison how forward momentum can be created by way of pattern, rather than the traditional arc–or, in nature, wave. Other writers of nonlinear prose considered in her \u201cmuseum of specimens\u201d include Nicholson Baker, Anne Carson, Marguerite Duras, Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez, Jamaica Kincaid, Clarice Lispector, Susan Minot, David Mitchell, Caryl Phillips, and Mary Robison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
