  2. 'Artful' by Ali Smith reads slapdash

    At least since whoever wrote "The Arabian Nights" invented postmodernism, we have been visited by metafiction — literature folding in on itself to address its own fictionality. At its best we get "Don Quixote," "Tristram Shandy," Jorge Luis Borges' stories, Chuck Jones' "Duck Amuck." At its worst we get Paul Auster. Ali Smith's new collection, "Artful" &8212; the text of her Weidenfeld lectures, delivered at Oxford last February — isn't bad, but it's no "Duck Amuck."

  3. James Wood champions realism in new book of essays

    There's a certain type of reader — often also a writer, with a leaf-fring'd MFA — who has it all figured out. The realist novel is a scam, a factory producing cardboard imitations of bourgeois life. This is the person at the party who mentions...

  7. A New Book from Michel Houellebcq: Very Little Sex Tourism Here

    The French novelist Michel Houellebecq is possibly best known for pissing off Muslims and for endorsing sex tourism. Add to that a reputation for crazy boozing, and the guy doesn&rsquo;t win loads of sympathy. (A mini flap over the author&rsquo;s alleged plagiarism from Wikipedia seems quaint by comparison.) He&rsquo;s sort of old school in his ability to debauch and infuriate. Houellebecq&rsquo;s new novel, <em>The Map and the Territory</em>, out this month in English, is perhaps surprising for not being quite as outrageous as the author&rsquo;s previous work. That doesn&rsquo;t mean it won&rsquo;t shock a good many readers.

  9. Chicagoland book club: The Chicago Bookers

    <strong>One thing to know about your book club:</strong> Our book club evolved from a one-woman photography show by one of the founders. She asked if we might want to gather informally once a month to discuss books. Six original members led to our current 10 who have been meeting for 17 years. Sometimes we travel together to a city that relates to what we have just read. The image you see of us was taken on a trip to Springfield to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum after reading &ldquo;Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln&rdquo; by Doris Kearns Goodwin. We have also traveled to: New York after reading &ldquo;Remembering Mr. Shawn's New Yorker: The Invisible Art of Editing&rdquo; by Ved Mehta where we met the author; an abbey in Iowa after &ldquo;The Cloister Walk&rdquo; by Kathleen Norris; Aspen, Colo., after &ldquo;The Book of Illusions: A Novel&rdquo; by Paul Auster; and Wisconsin after &ldquo;The Flanders Panel&rdquo; by Arturo Perez-Reverte.
