|  | Cities of the Red Night by William S. Burroughs
Three stories are interwoven in this novel. Clem Snide, a private detective, has to solve a case of ritual murder. In the Gobi Desert 100,000 years ago, a red virus has erupted. And in the 18th century, gay pirates have set up their own republics in South America and are at war with the conquistadors (Burroughs also uses this last theme in his novel GHOST OF A CHANCE, although he sets the pirates in Madagascar). All three stories are merged at the end in a giant trans-time, trans-space battle. AUTHOR: William S. Burroughs

 | Main Street & Babbitt by John Hersey, Sinclair Lewis
In MAIN STREET, Carol Kennicott marries a small-town doctor and moves to Gopher Prairie, Minnesota, hoping that her idealistic belief in social reform can be realized. Instead, she observes firsthand the stifling realities of small town life--cultural narrowness, smugness, petty cruelties--and finds that her marriage can't survive what she learns. Sinclair Lewis's best-selling 1920 novel was controversial in its time because of its gritty refusal to romanticize small-town life--one of America's fondest myths. In BABBITT, the main character, George F. Babbitt, is an ordinary man whose life undergoes climactic changes in Lewis's classic novel about middle America, first published in 1922.
