• Joyce Carol Oates Half of a Yellow Sun Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie   Vividly written, thrumming with life, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun is a remarkable novel. In its compassionate intelligence as in its capacity for intimate portraiture, this novel is a worthy successor to such twentieth century classicsas Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and V.S. Naipaul's A Bend in the River.

• Joyce Carol Oates Oblivion Peter Abrahams   An artful variant of the familiar nightmare of the amnesiac waking to a jigsaw puzzle world to be reassembled by heroic affect... Abrahams's novels are gratifyingly attentive to psychological detail, richly atmospheric, layered in ambiguity.
