While a virtual love letter to historiography may sound less than riveting, this is an engaging and strangely moving evocation of the pleasures of scholarship. Now out in a new translation (<a href=\"http:\/\/yalepress.yale.edu\/book.asp?isbn=9780300176735\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Allure of the Archives<\/em><\/a>) from Yale University Press. <strong>\u2014Sadie O.

However, Ballantyne\u2019s an expert poker player, and a prime example of New Zealand literature (\u201cslaughterhouse fiction\u201d), in which the pastoral paradise initially imagined by Britain as a South Pacific Eden instead morphed from an economy of industrialized violence into casual societal violence. (See the recent Jane Campion miniseries <em>Top of the Lake<\/em>, for example.) No one leaves this novel unscathed, characters or reader. You\u2019ve been warned. <strong>\u2014Justin Alvarez<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few nights ago I watched Max Oph\u00fcls\u2019s <em>La Ronde<\/em>. At the beginning of the movie and between each vignette in it, the omnipresent narrator delivers a little sing-song bit about the inevitable turn, turn, turn of romantic affairs while cranking a carousel round and round. And what a magnificent carousel it is\u2014by far my favorite part of the movie. A turn-of-the-century model (<em>La Ronde<\/em> was filmed in France 1950 but set in fin-de-si\u00e8cle Vienna), it has a wooden horse or two, but also a bicycle, a step-stool, a swing, an armchair. Oil lamps hang from the interior of its scalloped canopy. When looking for information about the provenance of this particular carousel, I came across images of two astounding modern carousels at the annual Christmas market in Brussels. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/74382055\/The-Magic-Roundabouts\" target=\"_blank\">This article<\/a> gives the story behind them. <strong>\u2014Clare Fentress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Directions has put out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ndbooks.com\/book\/alvin-lustig-for-new-directions\" target=\"_blank\">most beautiful set of postcards<\/a>, featuring the book cover that the legendary Alvin Lustig designed between 1941 and 1953.<em> Almost<\/em> too pretty to use. <strong>\u2014S.O.S<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIn the United States, the country with the world\u2019s highest prison population rate (followed closely by Russia), prisoners work for between 93 cents and $5 a day, if they\u2019re paid at all \u2026 But the Gulag is an image firmly imprinted on our American brains.
