 Andrew's Brain by E. L Doctorow (Paperback)   This brilliant new novel by an American master, the author of Ragtime, The Book of Daniel, Billy Bathgate, and The March, takes us on a radical trip into the mind of a man who, more than once in his life, has been an inadvertent agent of disaster. Speaking from an unknown place and to an unknown interlocutor, Andrew is thinking, Andrew is talking, Andrew is telling the story of his life, his loves, and the tragedies that have led him to this place and point in time. And as he confesses, peeling back the layers of his strange story, we are led to question what we know about truth and memory, brain and mind, personality and fate, about one another and ourselves. Written with psychological depth and great lyrical precision, this suspenseful and groundbreaking novel delivers a voice for our times-funny, probing, skeptical, mischievous, profound. Andrew's Brain is a surprising turn and a singular achievement in the canon of a writer whose prose has the power to create its own landscape, and whose great topic, in the words of Don DeLillo, is the reach of American possibility, in which plain lives take on the cadences of history.

Good."Originally published as part of the Ethnographic Survey of Africa by the International African Institute, this study of the Tswana, now in its seventh reprint, has proved one of the most respected and popular in the series. Succinctly written, it is a thorough study of a major division of the Sotho group of the Bantu-speaking peoples of Southern Africa. The Tswana, whose main homeland is Botswana, have been much written about in the twentieth century; this study, together with Professor Schapera's other writings on the Tswana, forms a very significant section of our knowledge and understanding of an important group. Continually referred to by other leading anthropologists, it remains a classic."
