LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
he joys and limitations of mothering are just about all that propel the new novel from Jayne Anne Phillips, and after a while the endless maternal variations start to wear.
There are no tricks to Charles Baxter's prose, just good stories told in inventive, clear, language.
Pico Iyer's "Global Soul" is a thought-provoking collection of essays profiling a new kind of world citizen, who subscribes by choice or necessity to the view that "one country's not enough."
Also, new stories from Russell Banks, a novel in short stories from Elissa Schappell, and more.
