BOOKS
Best Reading Letters of James Agee to Father Flye. Revelations of a young writer's agonizing struggle to discipline his talent, as told to a kindly confidant.
The Inheritors, by William Golding. A richly imagined novel, by the author of Lord of the Flies, about the dying-out of Europe's last band of Neanderthals.
Rocking the Boat, by Gore Vidal. The playwright does not always give his best effort to these impudent essays on politics and literature, but his boat-rocking, though not dangerously violent, is worth being on hand to see.
