Anonymous Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics
Grand Central Publishing November 1, 199 0-446-60427-5 / 9780446604277 Paperback Very Good
The main appeal of Primary Colors, of course, lies in guessing who's who in the fictionalization of Bill Clinton's first bid for the Democratic presid ential nomination and just how much of its juicy plot is true. Combining th e narrative structure of Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men with thinl y disguised versions of headline news from the spring of 1992, Joe Klein cr eated a portrait of American politics that has become virtually indistingui shable from the real thing.

Anonymous Ten Thousand Leaves
Overlook TP June 6, 1988 0-87951-240-7 / 9780879512408 Paperback Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Compiled during the eighth century, the Manyoshu is a sweeping anthology of 4516 poems on a range of subjects from the bawdy to the heroic. Wright, a scholar of Oriental poetry, has drawn from it 136 lyrical love poems writte n by royalty and peasants, warriors and priests. As he explains in his enli ghtening introduction, all the love poems were originally written in tanka, a 31-syllable form divided into five units. His translations each contain five lines, with each line comprising the designated number of syllables, e xcept where too rigid a structure would interrupt the flow of a line. The p oems are arranged thematically. Many look to nature for an outward, physica l expression of mood, emotion, the passing of time. We read about the antic ipation of love, the memory of love, and the constancy of love into old age . But by far the most prevalent theme is the longing for lovelonging for a spouse away at war, for a lover, for a person glimpsed but still unknown. O ver 30 beautiful black-and-white illustrations accompany the poems. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Language Notes Text: English, Japanese (translation) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Anonymous The Bride Stripped Bare
Fourth Estate Limited 2003 0-00-717086-6 / 9780007170869 Paperback Very Good+
A series of diary entries charts the sinuous paths of marriage and sexual d esire in this artful book, a bestseller in the U.K. The author of the entri es, a nameless 30-something housewife, has disappeared, leaving behind what amounts to 138 "lessons," written in the second-person, for her fellow arc hetypal "good wives." At first, the gimmick is jarring, but as the protagon ist's personality emerges and flowers, readers will be seduced by this some times subtle, sometimes overwrought novel set in modern-day London. At firs t, marriage equals safety to the woman ("it's a relief, to be honest, this surrendering..."), but the sex is humdrum, and Cole, her husband, is remote and fastidious-only oral sex offers a surefire way to orgasm and sometimes he'd just rather watch TV. To make matters worse, he may have engaged in a n affair with her best childhood friend. Beginning work on her long-planned book might cheer her up-and so will an affair with lovely Gabriel, of the "cathedral-wide" chest and silky young skin. Thus she commences erotic adve ntures previously unimaginable. She also becomes pregnant, and the anonymou s author is cannily perceptive about the vicissitudes of pregnancy and new motherhood; she writes strikingly of the surprising erotic passion, emotion al upheaval and anger that can flare during pregnancy. This unusual but str angely compelling novel offers an intimate chronicle of change and self-dis covery, of a woman who makes a final and unexpected choice.
