February 8, 2008Here's what we'll offer you Sunday in the books pages of GuideLive: "A Person of Interest," by Susan Choi. Watch this space for an excerpt from the Houston-raised author's novel. "New Stories From the Southwest," by D. Seth Horton, editor: "It seems odd that these gems were collected and published by the decidedly non-Southwestern Swallow Press/Ohio University Press," writes reviewer Joy Tipping, "but readers should be grateful they noticed." "Yalo," by Elias Khoury. "To untangle his tale, a reader must follow Yalo into a vortex of memory and self-deceit, which Mr. Khoury beautifully portrays," writes critic John Freeman. "The Perfect Scent: A Year Inside the Perfume Industry in Paris and New York," an aromatic and sometimes venomous journey by Chandler Burr. "His Illegal Self," by Peter Carey. Mark Sarvas writes: "At the sentence-by-sentence level, Mr. Carey is a master of the craft. And, as in his previous novels, Mr. Carey is fearless with point of view, often risking intelligibility for effect." Look for it all Sunday.  Comments (0) Leave comment
