Bio Don’t blame me--blame the Indianapolis public school system and Eastern Washington’s MFA program. On second thought, maybe it is all my fault.
About me: I teach at Gonzaga University. And I could really go for some coffee.
 The Lazarus Project (Paperback)$16.00 ISBN-13: 9781594483752Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Riverhead Trade, 05/01/2009 A razor-sharp novel about a young immigrant killed by the Chicago chief of police in 1908, and the Bosnian-born writer who travels to Eastern Europe to write about it 100 years later. Funny, angry, and sad. Typical Hemon brilliance.
 The Collected Stories of Amy Hempel (Paperback)$16.00 ISBN-13: 9780743291637Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Scribner, 09/01/2007 Amy Hempel does more with a sentence than most writers do with an entire story. This is 20 years of death and desire and heartbreak and hope, real as life, in words no one else could write. If your heart doesn’t break when you read “In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson Is Buried,” then you may not have one.  $17.00 ISBN-13: 9780143115038Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Penguin (Non-Classics), 02/01/2009 1967: The Year Hollywood Changed. The rise of independent film. A new, clusy awareness of race relations. The painful crashing and burning of bloated studio hackwork. Harris brings to life the ascension of New Hollywood through the making of the five movies that battled for Best Picture of 1967. Starring Sidney Poitier, Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, Rex Harrison, Mike Nichols, and Katherine Hepburn--among many, many others--Harris’s book is sprawling, tense, frequently hilarious, and, of course, cinematic.
 Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays (Paperback)$14.99 ISBN-13: 9780316013321Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Back Bay Books, 07/01/2007 Wallace may be the smartest man who ever lived, and this very funny collection—which delves into talk radio, the lexicography wars, sports memoirs, and the morality of eating lobster—made my brain stretch, yawn, and open wide.
