Fall's Crop

Cancel your plans for the coming season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. And prepare to welcome new novels by Amy Bloom and Richard Russo, poetry by Margaret Atwood, a Capote essay collection and John Updike on "Ernest Hemingway, ignorance, JFK Jr., artist Chip Kidd, poet Philip Larkin, 'mind/body problems,' The New Yorker, orgasms, poker, quips, a response to the question, 'Why Do I Live In New England?’ sex and lots of it, James Thurber...verse, Walden, xenophobia, Chinese writer Mo Yan, and [the] almost Zen approach to filtering the wide world".
