The Owl of Minerva, by Gustav Regler. The author, an ex-Communist, writes an absorbing memoir of his misadventures as a revolutionary, and in the process throws much light on 20th century history.
Grant Moves South, by Bruce Catton. A brisk account of Grant's two-year metamorphosis from green and panicky officer to cool, hardened commander.
The Violent Bear It Away, by Flannery O'Connor. In this chilling novel of backwoods religion, the author writes extremely well, but seems to poke a cruel kind of fun at the confused and bedeviled.
Between Then and Now, by Alba de Cespedes. Writing with unsettling skill about what it is like to be female, the author tells of a woman who discovers that the bonds of freedom can be more confining than those of family.
