 | Virginia Woolf by Katherine Dalsimer
Katherine Dalsimer, a psychologist, looks at Virginia Woolf's life and death, and at her mental illness. Among other things, she analyzes the degree to which Woolf's parents (each in a very different way) influenced her, and doesn't fail to appreciate the fact that, in the midst of her anguish, Woolf remained capable of enjoying life enormously.

 | Watcher by James Howe
A psychological novel that explores the lives of three young people spending the summer at the same seaside resort. Just out of high school, Chris is working as a lifeguard and worrying that he will never live up to the memory of his deceased older brother. Fearing that his parents are splitting up, 12-year-old Evan spends the summer caring for his younger sister. Both boys notice a girl named Margaret, who spends the days sitting alone at the beach, writing a fairy tale about her life. Margaret's story, which features both Chris and Evan, is about a young girl who is rescued from a terrible beast and returned to her loving family. These three characters remain separate from each other until the book's final chapter, during which they find themselves bringing Margaret's story to life. AUTHOR: James Howe

 | Leaves of Grass by A. S. Ash, Dan O'Herlihy, Ed Begley, Harold W. Blodgett, Jerome Loving
LEAVES OF GRASS, Whitman's monumental and enormously influential book, was his life's work, going through nine different editions from its first publication in 1855 to the famous deathbed edition published the year he died (1892). Influenced by Eastern religions, his years as a journalist, the Civil War, 19th-century expansionism, Nature, the theater and opera, and his own liberal sexual attitudes, LEAVES OF GRASS is both a document set firmly in its time and a great transcendent work of art. It is also one of the most popular and accessible books of poems ever written, beloved since its first publication. AUTHOR: A. S. Ash, Dan O'Herlihy, Ed Begley, Harold W. Blodgett, Jerome Loving
