Sneak peek at Sunday reviews

5:58 PM Fri, Sep 28, 2007 |

We're aiming for the stars, both literal and literary, in Sunday's GuideLive.

First, we have an interview with Philip Roth, along with a review of "Exit Ghost," the ninth and final of his Zuckerman books.

Then, we have a roundup of books about the opening shot of the Space Age, 50 years ago this week: "Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War" by Michael J. Neufeld; "Red Moon Rising: Sputnik and the Hidden Rivalries That Ignited the Space Age," by Matthew Brzezinski; and "A Ball, a Dog, and a Monkey: 1957 — The Space Race Begins," by Michael D’Antonio.

We also have a pair of World War II books -- "The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945" by Geoffrey C. Ward looks like a coffee-tabel book but is much more, while "The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944" by Rick Atkinson picks up where his prize-winning "An Army at Dawn" left off. (Be sure to come back this weekend to see our online-only interview with Mr. Ward.)

Finally, Ann Packer explores themes of trust and forgiveness in "Songs Without Words."

As always, we want to hear your comments on our reviews, or anything else on the books pages.
