If you\u2019re going to judge a book by its endpapers, then I recommend Julie Morstad\u2019s The\u00a0Wayside<\/i><\/a>. I\u2019ve spent a fair amount of time imagining them on the walls of the drawing room I don\u2019t have. It helps that the rest of the book\u2014all new drawings by the Canadian\u00a0illustrator\u2014is equal parts charming and strange. There\u2019s definitely an Edward Gorey\u2013esque feel to her work, but I also see occasional hints of William P\u00e8ne du Bois (in a troupe of women acrobats) and Amy Cutler (in the wonderful patterned textiles). I think my favorite drawing may be a double gatefold depicting groups of flatly rendered performing-arts kids doing their thing. It\u2019s Attic form meets\u00a0Fame<\/i>. \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the early fifties, a married Cuban socialite has an epistolary romance with a dashing political prisoner. They meet for one night, and the woman bears his child. Meanwhile the young man, freed from prison, seizes command of the struggle against Batista and becomes ruler of their country. It sounds (and reads) like a novel, but Havana Dreams<\/em><\/a>, Wendy Gimbel\u2019s 1998 portrait of Naty Revuelta and her daughter Alina, is a work of intimate reportage, and the relationship of these two women to Fidel Castro takes on an uncanny symbolic weight. The book invaded my own dreams.\u00a0\u2014Lorin Stein<\/strong> <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been immersing myself in comedy lately and am reading the sadly forgotten All About H. Hatterr<\/em><\/a> by G.\u2009V. Desani. It was reissued as an NYRB Classic a few years ago, and given that NYRB<\/em>\u2019s fiftieth anniversary celebrations are in full swing, it seems fitting to be reading it now. In the introduction, Anthony Burgess says, \u201cIt is the language that makes the book, a sort of creative chaos that grumbles at the restraining banks.\u201d He also quotes T.\u2009S. Eliot on Hatterr: \u201cIn all my experience, I have not met with anything quite like it. It is amazing that anyone should be able to sustain a piece of work in this style and tempo at such length.\u201d How can you not find, read, and savor a book that has sentences like: \u201cIs it Right? Hell, I won\u2019t controversy. Why the chick first or is it the egg-ovum? Does a feller wear braces to keep his trousers up<\/i>, or is it to stop \u2018em slipping down<\/i>? Did he say, Kiss me, Hardy! or, Kismet<\/i>, Hardy?! Is Hanchow pronounced &cow, &Co., or what the hell? Personally, I wear a belt.\u201d\u00a0\u2014Diksha Basu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arthur Miller almost ruined my second reading of The Ballad of the Sad Cafe<\/em><\/a> this weekend when I ran into this quote of his on Carson\u2019s Wikipedia page<\/a>: \u201cMoving, yes, but a minor author. And broken by illness at such a young age.\u201d So I was relieved to find this lovely letter<\/a> to McCullers from Miller\u2019s contemporary Tennessee Williams, which brought the mood back. Thanks, Tennessee. I wish my friends wrote letters like that to me.\u00a0\u2014Andrew Plimpton<\/strong><\/p>\n

I typically read right before bed, in a half-awake state of literary delirium. (Did I just read ten pages and not remember any of it? What year is it, Benjy Compson?<\/em>) The title character of Andr\u00e9s Neuman\u2019s Traveler of the Century<\/em><\/a> finds himself in a similar state, after spending a night in the small town of Wandernburg, located somewhere between Prussia and Saxony. Streets the traveler have walked before lead him to different locations, various characters (an organ grinder who lives in a cave, a Jack the Ripper\u2013type murderer) enter the story as if from thin air, and our traveler falls into a love affair so graphic you\u2019d think it could only happen in a dream (I think you get the comparison). I was swept up immediately, not just by a story that spans numerous genres\u2014is it epistolary, historical, or a murder mystery?\u2014but by Neuman\u2019s ability to populate the town with an array of truly alive characters that I never wanted to leave. \u201c[D]o you know what you have to do in order not to get lost in Wandernburg?\u201d asks the organ grinder at one point. \u201cAlways take the longest route.\u201d \u2014Justin Alvarez<\/strong><\/p>\n

My calendar claims that we\u2019ve been celebrating Children\u2019s Authors and Illustrators Week for the past few days. I haven’t been to any related events, but the supposed holiday has reminded me to return to one of my favorite collections of graphic design: 75 Years of Children’s Book Week Posters: Celebrating Great Illustrators of American Children’s Books<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019s essentially a who\u2019s who of classic twentieth-century illustration: Chris Van Allsburg, Tomi Ungerer, Maurice Sendak, Jessie Wilcox Smith, and our own William P\u00e8ne du Bois are just the tip of the iceberg. You can see many of the works within on a Pinterest page<\/a> maintained by the Children\u2019s Book Council; the 1957 poster<\/a>, by Alice and Martin Provensen, is a personal favorite. And if you want to really go down the rabbit hole, check out the rest of the CBC\u2019s Pinterest presence<\/a>. I recommend starting with Kidlit Maps<\/a>. \u2014Clare Fentress<\/strong><\/p>\n
