Sid Higgins, the appealing, self-deprecating narrator of Farber's poignant, funny debut, has been receiving postcards from his old girlfriend Zoe. Unfortunately, the whimsical Zoe has disappeared, and the postmarks on the cards are more than a year old. Though he doesn't really expect to find her, Sid travels to Europe in search of Zoe. Since Sid works for a travel agency, a slick telephone operation that uses the amusingly named Randomizer to dial potential clients, the trip is easy to arrange. Sid plaintively and self-mockingly relates his interactions with his boss, Steve; his neighbor, Gerald the Post Office Guy; and, most of all, his dog, Zero, whose deftly described postures convey so much, though perhaps not quite as much as Sid reads into them. Sid's older sister, Natalie, a doctor who provides welcome perspective on Sid, is by turns affectionate, irritated, supportive, and occasionally fed up. The reader is likely to feel the same. | ||

Mayan literature is among the oldest in the world, spanning an astonishing two millennia from deep pre-Columbian antiquity to the present day. Here, for the first time, is a fully illustrated survey, from the earliest hieroglyphic inscriptions to the works of later writers using the Roman alphabet. Dennis Tedlock--ethnographer, linguist, poet, and award-winning author--draws on decades of living and working among the Maya to assemble this groundbreaking book, which is the first to treat ancient Mayan texts as literature. Tedlock considers the texts chronologically. He establishes that women were among the ancient writers and challenges the idea that Mayan rulers claimed the status of gods. 2000 Years of Mayan Literature expands our understanding and appreciation not only of Mayan literature but of indigenous American literature in its entirety. | ||

From acclaimed author David Corbett, a stunning and suspenseful novel of a life without loyalties and the borders inside ourselves. Roque Montalvo is wise beyond his eighteen years. Orphaned at birth, a gifted musician, he’s stuck in a California backwater, helping his Salvadoran aunt care for his damaged brother, an ex-marine badly wounded in Iraq. When immigration agents arrest his uncle, the family has nowhere else to turn. Roque, badgered by his street-hardened cousin, agrees to bring the old man back, relying on the criminal gangs that control the dangerous smuggling routes from El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, to the U.S. border. | ||

Howard Bryan, historian and author of the New Mexico Tribune's "Off the Beaten Path" column, has been delving into obscure corners of Southwest history for decades. His latest book, Santa Fe Tales and More (Clearlight, $16.95), collects true stories of Old Santa Fe that Bryan uncovered both researching 19th century newspaper archives and personal interviews. Their recollections provide a vivid recreation of both everyday life on the frontier and extraordinary events and developments that shaped the history of the Southwest. The stories range from humorous to touching to tragic and violent - all told with frankness and candor. In honor of Bryan's 90th birthday, Bookworks is having a party - come share a few stories and celebrate with us! | ||

Poet & UNM faculty V.B. Price and architectural photographer Robert Reck have created the photographic portrait The University of New Mexico (UNM Press $34.95). This book explores the lure and magic of the university, which has become more than just an alma mater to its graduates. Price writes, "It has querencia, a place in our hearts, like a homeland... [T]he main campus is an oasis of cultured civility, at once brimming with the youthful vigor of its student body and rooted in the American West's most venerable social and aesthetic traditions. It's what makes UNM an academic symbol of the mind-opening sense of enchantment that New Mexico is known for around the world." The authors will discuss and sign the book, as well as present a slideshow of Reck's photography, highlighting the campus's unique architecture.. | ||

Best-selling author and noted teacher and speaker, Yehuda Berg, issues a thought-provoking call to action on our current global crisis in his new book The Power to Change Everything (Kabbalah Publishing, $14.95). Positing that our collective abdication of responsibility - in every facet of our lives - has contributed to the problems and challenges we face, Berg asserts that taking responsibility for our actions and their consequences is the key to achieving change for the better. Berg urges readers to access the power within each of us, using the principles of Kabbalah, in order to create the consciousness shift required for lasting positive change. "You and I are standing at a crossroads. We have two choices: either to accept that our world is at the beginning of the end, or to step up to create a better world for the future-for ourselves, for our children, for all mankind." -Yehuda Berg | ||

Stephen Fried presents a slideswow and discusses his new book Appetite for America (Random House, $27.00), the incredible real-life story of Fred Harvey-told in depth for the first time ever-as well as the story of this country's expansion into the Wild West. As a young immigrant, Fred Harvey worked his way up from dishwasher to household name. His eating houses and hotels along the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe railroad were patronized by princes, presidents, and countless ordinary travelers looking for the best cup of coffee in the country. Harvey's staff of carefully screened single young women-the celebrated Harvey Girls-were the country's first female workforce and became genuine Americana, even inspiring an MGM musical starring Judy Garland. Inspiring, instructive, and hugely entertaining, Appetite for America is historical biography that is as richly rewarding as a slice of fresh apple pie-and every bit as satisfying. | ||
