A SHORTER FINNEGANS WAKE, by James Joyce, edited by Anthony Burgess. Novelist Burgess (A Clockwork Orange) has pulled Joyce's astronomical Dublin masterpiece into the general reader's field of vision simply by cutting out two-thirds of it. There is still plenty of wit and wordplay left.
BLACK IS BEST, by Jack Olsen. The life and times of Cassius Clay in a sharp-eyed biography that unerringly—and engagingly—separates fact from bigmouth chaff.
FATHERS, by Herbert Gold. A long, loving search—both forward and backward—for the essence of parenthood; a tribute to that most neglected figure in American fiction —the Jewish father.
THE MURDERERS AMONG US: THE WIESENTHAL MEMOIRS, edited by Joseph Wechsberg. In a style as spare and striking as Dashiell Hammett's, dogged Nazi-Hunter j Simon Wiesenthal recounts the career that brought 800 war criminals—including Adolf Eichmann—to justice, and made of Wiesenthal a kind of Intercontinental Op.
