Nearly a decade has passed since Charles Frazier's melancholic Civil War-novel debut won the National Book Award and became a runaway bestseller, but the time has not been wasted. In THIRTEEN MOONS, Frazier tells the intricately researched and richly imagined life story of Will Cooper, an orphan who grows up to be a merchant, soldier, lawyer, senator, and surrogate Cherokee during the Trail of Tears, leaving him, in the end, a heartsick and bitter old man.

To the Wedding
With a sensuous eye and a profound sense of history, John Berger tells the story of a wedding that could take place only at the end of the 20th century, in a Europe where desire crosses borders with a smuggler's cunning and a refugee's despair. Gino and Ninon are getting married. They are making a claim on a future they may never have. As Berger tells the stories of the bride and groom, as well as those of Ninon's mother in Prague and her father in France, he creates a novel that is at once a love story, an elegy, and a map of our beautiful and terrible world. TO THE WEDDING is a luminous, sorrowful, and rapturous celebration of the persistence of passion amid the ruins of history.

An Absolute Gentleman
Convicted serial killer Arthur Blume, once a respected English professor in a small Missouri town, seeks to prove that he is a refined and dignified fellow in this wonderfully sinister look into the mind of a murderer. Based on an actual encounter by the author, and presented as a faux-memoir, this creepy little tale should make for excellent late-night reading.

Crash: A Novel
Critics have labeled Ballard's classic "pornographic"--both as criticism and as praise. It is the story of a man obsessed with sex who is drawn into a demimonde of individuals who combine car crashes and drugs with a variety of sexual acts. A disturbing document on the influence of technology and sexuality in culture, this is the first in a loose trilogy of novels--"Concrete Island" and "High Rise" are the other two--that examine Ballard's view of "modern life."

The Island of the Day Before
A veteran of the Thirty Years War, Roberto della Griva is shipwrecked in the South Seas on a secret mission to the Antipodes. Roberto is saved by the appearance of an abandoned ship, the Daphne, which has enough stores to sustain him. The time aboard the Daphne affords Roberto opportunity to reflect. As he looks back on his loves and education, he is haunted by his doppelganger, whom he has suspected of being on board the ship. The book features the philosophical and scientific digressions and musings which are familiar to the readers of Eco's other novels.
