Historia
James Gleick's story begins at the turn of the 20th century, with the young H. G. Wells writing and rewriting the fantastic tale that became his first book, an international sensation: The Time Machine. A host of forces were converging to transmute the human understanding of time, some philosophical and some technological - the electric telegraph, the steam railroad, the discovery of buried civilizations, and the perfection of clocks.

What if imagination and art are not, as many of us might think, the frosting on life but the fountainhead of human experience? What if our logic and science derive from art forms rather than the other way around? In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement. A renowned therapist and inspiring guide, Dr. May draws on his experience to show how we can break out of old patterns in our lives.

Historia
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the "why" of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie: man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. In doing so, he sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates more than 30 years after its writing.

Seven years ago, Christian Wiman, a well-known poet and the editor of Poetry magazine, wrote a now-famous essay about having faith in the face of death. My Bright Abyss, composed in the difficult years since and completed in the wake of a bone marrow transplant, is a moving meditation on what a viable contemporary faith - responsive not only to modern thought and science but also to religious tradition - might look like.

Historia
Though he was later accused of every crime and sexual perversion in the galaxy, Hope Hubris began as an innocent. Because he defended his older sister against the violent lusts of a wealthy scion, Hope and his peasant family were forced to flee Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter. Pursued by the bloodthirsty scions across the airless desert, they barely escaped with their lives. The illegal space bubble was overcrowded with refugees, all hoping to reach Jupiter for asylum.

"The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation.

His fiction is known to be some of the most terrifying in the genre of supernatural horror, but Thomas Ligotti's first nonfiction book may be even scarier. Drawing on philosophy, literature, neuroscience, and other fields of study, Ligotti takes the penetrating lens of his imagination and turns it on his audience, causing them to grapple with the brutal reality that they are living a meaningless nightmare, and anyone who feels otherwise is simply acting out an optimistic fallacy.

Cerebral meta-science-fiction
This is both a science fiction novel and a novel about the process of writing a science fiction novel, a meta-fiction in the tradition that goes back to Tristram Shandy and forward to Borges to Borges and to the movie Adaptation (2002). It works, amazingly well on both levels -- the novel-within-novel is a fine hard science-fiction tale, using the cutting edge thinking about Black Holes in 1975 to imagine a scenario of a FTL ship trapped in an inescapable gravity well (and how escape might happen and what the consequences might be). Interspersed with that is Malzberg (or a near-likeness) offering his notes on how this happened. There are a few problems -- the characterization of of the starship captain Lena Thomas, her lover and her various interlocutors is thin. The story is deliberately schematic. As always Malzerg's authorial voice is eloquent but also narrow, tending towards the bitter, the mordant, the self-rebuking with only a glimmer of joy & ecstasy. And yet, for all that, a short novel with a punch, expertly read by Lucinda Gainey (who I think gives Lena perhaps more character than the words themselves allow). But as Malzberg notes in the novel (he is his own best critic) the writer of a book is only a collaborator in a process that includes readers (and in the case of the audiobook, the vocalist is also a collaborator). This is a thought provoking book about the sterility of space travel (a beloved Malzberg novel), the reality of death, the theology of the scientific age, and much else. If you enjoy the bracing New Wave science fiction of the 1960s and 1970s -- the works of Le Guin, Ballard, Dick, Silverberg, Ellison, and writers of that muster -- you will enjoy this book. It's science fiction of a unusually high pitch of literacy and awareness.

The first several minutes will tell
For some people, this novel is a ground-breaking exploration in what the writer can truly do, a daring departure from conventional forms, and an engaging experiment.
I'm one of the other people. I tried to give this novel a shot, and it took too long to get past the philosophizing and autobiographing and meditations on the genre to get an actual story started. If the author starts wearing on your patience ten minutes in, don't count on it getting any better.
