 | Messages from My Father by Calvin Trillin
Trillin collects of memories of his father--including his stubborn eccentricities such as his yellow neckties, abstinence from coffee and cigarettes, and abidance by maxims like You might as well be a mensch --to paint a picture of a man of exotic ordinariness. Unlike a crush of other dysfunctional family memoirists, Trillin comfortably recalls Abe Trillinsky as a gentle father and an exceptional friend. AUTHOR: Calvin Trillin

 | Between Two Silences by Dale Moffitt, Gregory Boyd, Peter Brook
In this volume Peter Brook is in dialogue with college students and faculty. Theatre professor Dale Moffitt has edited and arranged by subject twelve hours of spontaneous question and answer sessions from Brook`s visit to the Southern Methodist University campus. Ranging widely over many topics, Brook talks about his innovative and award-winning production of Marat/Sade, his film and stage versions of King Lear, his nine-hour production of the Indian epic The Mahabharata. With passion and clarity he discusses acting, directing, auditions, film vs. the stage, his responses to the work of other theatre figures like Grotowski and Artaud, and the multiculturalism which characterizes his most recent work. This book comprises far more than stray comments about artistry and technique in guiding actors and being guided by them. These comments cohere; they remain thoughtful, provocative, compelling. -- Albert Bermel, City University of New York AUTHOR: Dale Moffitt, Gregory Boyd, Peter Brook
