A MOVEABLE FEAST, by Ernest Hemingway. Toward the end of his life, the novelist wrote these memoirs of the '20's in Paris when he was young and poor. The result is a poetic word picture of Paris, a loving one of his first wife, and waspish anecdotes of Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, and especially the Fitzgeralds, who are treated unkindly.
PEDRO MARTINEZ, by Oscar Lewis. With his tape recorder spinning, the author of The Children of Sanchez gets down the biography of another Mexican: a peasant farmer who engaged in one ill-fated political reform after another.
THE SPIRE, by William Golding. In this medieval parable, an obsessed canon orders a huge stone spire to be built atop his fragile cathedral, only to realize at last that his monument was not to God's glory but his own.
EPISODE-REPORT ON THE ACCIDENT INSIDE MY SKULL, by Eric Hodgins. The author of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House recounts his partial recovery from a "cerebrovascular accident" (in layman's terms, a stroke). His wit and skill with words are totally unimpaired.
