In the months following 9/11, while images of the collapsing towers haunted the media, Kenneth Sherman began a course of reading, seeking out authors who believed that literature could address the most extreme circumstances. Sherman contemplates Holocaust survivor Primo Levi, writing under crushing depression; Anne Frank, retaining sanity by diary writing; authors who, though critically ill, persisted in their quest for the right word. The furies' in Sherman's title belong to history and what they bring is not only destruction, but the opportunity to transform ourselves.

What's it like to live on an island twenty-two miles out to sea? Where there are only three dozen year-round residents? Where the local economy is lobstering? Period. Where your most reliable source of transportation off the island may be a small Cessna and the airstrip is dirt (or snow or mud)? Where, if the forecaster says the storm is "headed safely out to sea," you know it's coming your way? Where you rush to the aid of people you can't stand, every time? These are the stories of that unique community, of an interdependence that is all too rare these days but necessary for this island's survival. Murray writes with a keen eye and sharp wit, sharing stories that are sometimes poignant, sometimes mind-boggling, and often hilarious. She lives in a place where, "You love it, absolutely love it here, 51 percent of the time. That is enough to make you stay.

Is it truth or fiction? Memoir or essay? Narrative or associative? To a writer like Michael Martone, questions like these are high praise. Martones studied disregard of form and his unruffled embrace of the prospect that nothingno story, no lifeis ever quite finished have yielded some of todays most splendidly unconventional writing. Add to that an utter weakness for pop Americana and what Louise Erdrich has called a deep affection for the ordinary, and you have one of the few writers who could pull off something like Racing in Place.

One of the most dramatic stages in the world is the Midwestern atmosphere. In the middle of the middle land in the United States, we have the greatest variety of weather possible: four distinct seasons, temperatures that plunge below zero by the double digits and escalate into triple digits, placid zephyrs and brutal tornadoes, gentle spring rains and mountains of snow, the crispness of autumn air and the saturation of summer humidity. The wide sky of the Midwest allows us to see this atmospheric drama play out its comedies and tragedies in full view and full vigor. Under this midland sky we play out our lives in place.

The "Little Clay Cart" is, for Sanskrit theatre, atypically romantic, funny, and thrilling. This most human of Sanskrit plays is Shakespearian in its skilful drawing of characters and in the plot's direct clarity. One of the earliest Sanskrit dramas, "Little Clay Cart" was created in South India, perhaps in the seventh century CE. Set in the city of Ujjain, so secular and universal is the story that it can be situated in any society, and it has, including in Bollywood film and by the BBC. Charu datta, a bankrupt married merchant, is extramaritally involved with a wealthy courtesan, Vas nta sena. The king's vile brother-in-law, unable to win Vas nta sena's love, strangles her, and accuses Charu datta. The court decides the case hastily, condemning Charu datta to death. Fortunately, our heroine rises from the dead to save her beloved, and all applaud their love. At this climax, the regime changes, and the rebel-turned-king makes Charu datta lord of an adjacent city.
