  2. College Lit. 101

    There are certain staples of college literature classes. Profound novels by Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Dickens and other titans of British and American literature, for example. Books that provide a perspective on class and racial struggles like Toni Morrison's "Sula" and Nadine Gordimer's "None to Accompany Me" perennially appear on these lists. Even books by popular best-selling authors like Stephen King and Ursula K. Le Guin are assigned in courses on horror and science fiction in literature.

  10. Review: 'Manifest Injustice' by Barry Siegel

    "Manifest Injustice" is an apt, allegorical title for Barry Siegel's latest book, which makes three points didactically: First, the law can be an ass — to a greater extent than Charles Dickens imagined. Second, when it comes to administering justice, the courts can be at an utter loss. Third, plea bargaining can be just a kinder, gentler form of torture, with the same result — manifest injustice.
