Abstract

Scott Turow, the author of ''Presumed Innocent'' and many other books, has received plenty of admiring reviews over the course of his 30-year career. But it's the negative ones, he told us recently by e-mail, that stick with you. The one Turow recalls most vividly is the very first review of his first book, ''One L,'' a law-school memoir. ''The review was written by John Jay Osborn Jr., the author of the 'The Paper Chase,''' Turow said, ''and it appeared in my hometown paper, the one my parents always read, The Chicago Sun-Times. Osborn hated 'One L' so much that he even got down to ridiculing my poor wife. I was literally on the floor of my apartment in Cambridge for a day. I felt like I had been run through by a spear and carried around like a bleeding flag in front of my friends and family. The book went on to far more favorable reviews from both the daily and Sunday Times and many other papers and remains in print today.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

THE CRIMEAN WAR: A History, by Orlando Figes. (Picador, $22.) The Crimean War (1853-56), in which France and Britain sided with the Ottoman Empire in its clash against Russia, shattered almost four decades of European peace. Today, we remember fragmentary stories: the charge of the Light Brigade, Florence Nightingale. Figes restores the conflict as ''a major turning point'' in European and Middle Eastern history, one that provided the tinder for World War I. YOU THINK THAT'S BAD: Stories, by Jim Shepard. (Vintage Contemporaries, $15.) Shepard's high-concept fiction covers a bracing range of hobbyhorses and obsessions -- from ''Paper Doll'' (1986), his early novel about World War II airmen, to ''Project X'' (2004), which describes a Columbine-style shooting from the point of view of one of the attackers. The longest story in this collection explores the life of the special-effects creator of ''Godzilla.'' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

ANATHEM, by Neal Stephenson (Harper Perennial, $16.99.) Set in a world similar but not identical to our own, ''Anathem'' imagines a monastic order whose members contemplate issues of math, physics and philosophy, and live their lives without electronic technology. But Stephenson's hero, an ascetic named Erasmas, and his order are called back into the world to save civilization from an extraterrestrial crisis. Stephenson ''delights in the language and etymology he has designed for his fictional world . . . and in the 7,000 years of detailed history he has given it,'' Dave Itzkoff wrote in the Book Review. MY PAPER CHASE: True Stories of Vanished Times, by Harold Evans (Back Bay/Little, Brown, $16.99.) Evans, who has served as the editor of The Sunday Times of London and The Times of London, recalls his ascent in a swashbuckling era of British journalism: from his first exposure at age 16 to his championing of investigative journalism that, among other things, exposed the Soviet spy Kim Philby and achieved justice for the deformed child victims of the drug thalidomide. (In a busy second act, Evans became an executive at the Atlantic Monthly Press, U.S. News & World Report, Conde Nast Traveler and Random House.) ''My Paper Chase'' ''celebrates bygone glories and dwells on the truths of good journalism that still obtain,'' our reviewer, David Carr, wrote. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

THE WOMEN, by T. C. Boyle (Penguin, $16.) Love, not architecture, is the focus of Boyle's novel about Frank Lloyd Wright. Boyle views his protagonist through the lens of his messy relationships with women and divides his story into sections corresponding to Wright's major romances. In the Book Review, Joanna Scott praised the novel as a ''powerful new chapter'' of Boyle's ''hilarious and terrifying fictional history of utopian longing in America,'' a ''mesmerizing story of women who invest everything, at great risk, in . . . Wright.'' THE MERCY PAPERS: A Memoir of Three Weeks, by Robin Romm. (Scribner, $13.) This ''furious blaze of a book,'' as our reviewer, Leah Hager Cohen, described it, explores Romm's anguish over her 56-year-old mother's impending death from breast cancer. Romm writes with ''fresh and uncompromising'' prose, ''fearless, scathing honesty'' and magnetic anger, Cohen said. Death also shadows Diana Athill's SOMEWHERE TOWARDS THE END: A Memoir(Norton, $13.95), but she contemplates its approach from the perspective of a long life. A celebrated London editor, Athill, now 92, speaks gracefully and with good cheer about the losses and gains of old age. Life, she concludes, is ''amazingly capacious.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
