Written when Hemingway was at the height of his creative powers, the stories in "Winner Take Nothing" glow with the mark of his unique talent. Hunters, wives, old men of wisdom, waiters, fighters, women loved, women lost: they are all here, living on the raw edge, making love, facing the inevitable reality of death. The characters, the dialogue, the settings, the remarkable insight could have come only from Hemingway's imagination. As an introduction to his work, or as an overview of the themes he developed at greater length in his novels, it is a stunningly successful collection.

D. H. Lawrence's masterpiece charts the fluctuations in the relationships of Ursula Brangwen and her sister Gudrun (first introduced in "The Rainbow") with their lovers Rupert Birkin, in many ways a self-portrait, and Gerald, the son of an industrial magnate. Through a series of dramatic scenes--a wedding, a water-party, encounters in flats and restaurants in London, excursions to the countryside around the colliery town of Beldover--Lawrence creates a passionate, lyrical and savagely critical vision of modern society and modern values.

In his intense friendship with Gerald and his marriage to Ursula, Birkin seeks ou

When a man's favourite elephant vanishes, the balance of his whole life is subtly upset; a couple's midnight hunger pangs drive them to hold up a McDonald's; a woman finds she is irresistible to a small green monster that burrows through her front garden; an insomniac wife wakes up to a twilight world of semi-consciousness in which anything seems possible - even death. In every one of the stories that make up The Elephant Vanishes, Murakami makes a determined assault on the normal. He has a deadpan genius for dislocating realities to uncover the surreal in the everday, the extraordinary in the ordinary.

There are some things you have to do.

The Drawing of the Three is the second volume of a long tale called The Dark Tower, a tale inspired by and to some degree dependent upon Robert Browning's narrative poem "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" (which in its turn owes a debt to King Lear).
