    <![CDATA[Columbia University, 1968. Ann Drayton and Georgette George meet as roommates on the first night. Ann is rich and radical; Georgette, the narrator of The Last of Her Kind, is leery and introverted, a child of the very poverty and strife her new friend finds so noble. The two are drawn together intensely by their differences; two years later, after a violent fight, they part ways. When, in 1976, Ann is convicted of killing a New York cop, Georgette comes back to their shared history in search of an explanation. She finds a riddle of a life, shaped by influences more sinister and complex than any of the writ-large sixties movements. She realizes, too, how much their early encounter has determined her own path, and why, after all this time, as she tells us, I have never stopped thinking about her.]]>

    <![CDATA[Sigrid Nunezs early novel is the beautifully wrought story of one woman living precariously between cultures, a haunting tale of un-assimilation. Our narrator, the daughter of a Chinese-Panamanian father and a German mother, comes of age in the 1960s housing projects of New York. Desperate to escape from her troubled home, Christa throws herself into the world of ballet and language. It is only when she begins a passionate affair with a Russian immigrant that she discovers how much she remains bound to the past and the world of her parents.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In 1934, a &quot;sickly pathetic marmoset&quot; named Mitz came into the care of Leonard Woolf. After nursing her back to health, he was rarely seen without the amusing monkey on his shoulder. A ubiquitous presence in Bloomsbury society, Mitz moved with the Woolfs between their homes in London and Sussex. She developed her own special relationships with the family's cocker spaniels and with the various members of the Woolfs' circle, among them T. S. Eliot and Vita Sackville-West. Mitz even played a vital role in helping the Woolfs escape a close call with Nazis in Germany just before World War II. Blending letters, diaries, and memoirs, acclaimed novelist Sigrid Nunez reconstructs Mitz's life, painting it against the fascinating backdrop of Bloomsbury in its twilight years. Tender, affectionate, and filled with humor, this novel offers a striking look at lives shadowed by war, death, and mental breakdown, as well as the happiness and productivity this plucky creature inspired.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[The analytical musings of an unhappy life are the focus of Sigrid Nunez's second novel. The protagonist is a 40-year-old New Yorker named Nona who thinks too much of and about herself. She ruins a perfectly decent marriage for a lousy affair and then wonders where she went wrong. She has other concerns, both past and present, that create pictures of one woman and--through her eyes--of those around her.]]>
