   Extractions: Alison Lurie's 's first couple, Jane and Alan Mackenzie, who, until recently have been congratulating themselves on how well everything is going; how much they are in love, how handsome their house, how rich their garden, how good the sex, how happy at work and how respected in the community. Jane is an administrator at the university and Alan is a professor who has a passion for Victorian architecture. A slow tragedy unfolds when Alan injures his back playing volleyball and falls victim to chronic and debilitating pain. As the pain increases his personality dissolves and Jane is forced into a caretaking role for a man who was the epitome of hardy male academic resourcefulness and vigor. As the book opens, Jane sees her cramped stooped husband struggling up the driveway and doesn't recognize him at all. There is resentment all around. The second couple is the famous and difficult poetess Delia Delaney and her mate and general dogs body Henry Hull. Delia has migraines but what really seems more debilitating is her narcissistic and divaish personality. She is as self-involved as she is charming and entices those around her to do her bidding, be it answer her fan mail or weasel out of her contract as Visiting Fellow at the University. Henry, a freelance editor, really just takes care of demanding Delia.

But though there are all sorts of reasons I found them magically captivating, it also seems to me that they were painful (in a good way, I'm not saying this critically) in their moralizing about choices and ethics and so on: I was the kind of child who couldn't read about Edmund betraying his friends (and seriously, that novel offers a better depiction of the psychology of addiction than almost anything else I can think of) or about Jill forgetting to say the lines that Aslan has asked her to memorize without getting a serious knot in my stomach. In fact it's making me anxious just thinking about it. Two good literary reflections on the Narnia stories: Anne Fadiman's introduction to the essay collection Rereadings: Seventeen Writers Revisit Books They Love ; and the amazing story called "The Problem of Susan" written by Neil Gaiman and published in the 2004 anthology Flights Posted by Jenny Davidson at 9:38 PM HeyZeus!

    Extractions: Joyce Carol Oates An excerpt from the novel "The Last Resort" At three A.M. on a windy late-November night, Jenny Walker woke in her historic house in an historic New England town, and sensed from the slope of the mattress and the chill of the flowered percale sheets that Wilkie Walker, the world-famous writer and naturalist, was not in bed beside her. Often now Jenny woke to this absence. The first time, after lying half awake for twenty minutes, she tiptoed downstairs and found her husband sitting in the kitchen with a mug of tea. Wilkie smiled briefly and replied to her questions that of course he was all right, that everything was all right. "Go back to bed, darling," he told her, and Jenny followed his instructions, just as she had done for a quarter century.
