I am writing to a rhythm & not to a plot', Virginia Woolf stated of her eighth novel, The Waves. Widely regarded as one of her greatest & most original works, it conveys the rhythms of life in synchrony with the cycle of nature & the passage of time. Six children
- Bernard, Susan, Rhoda, Neville, Jinny & Louis
- meet in a garden close to the sea, their voices sounding over the constant echo of the waves that roll back & forth from the shore. The subsequent continuity of these six main characters, as they develop from childhood to maturity & follow different passions & ambitions, is interspersed with interludes from the timeless & unifying chorus of nature. In pure stream-of-consciousness style, Woolf presents a cross-section of multiple yet parallel lives, each marked by the disintegrating force of a mutual tragedy. The Waves is her searching exploration of individual & collective identity, & the observations & emotions of life, from the simplicity & surging optimism of youth to the vacancy & despair of middle-age.

The Way the World Works, Nicholson Baker's ranges over the map of life to examine what ails us, what eases our pain, & what gives us joy. Baker-recently hailed as "one of the most consistently enticing writers of our time" by The New York Times-moves from political controversy to the intimacy of his own life, from forgotten heroes of pacifism to airplane wings, telephones, paper mills, David Remnick, Joseph Pulitzer, the OED, & the manufacture of the Venetian gondola. In one essay, Baker surveys our fascination with video games while attempting to beat his teenage son at Modern Warfare 2; in a celebrated essay on Wikipedia, he describes his efforts to stem the tide of encyclopedic deletionism. Through all these pieces Baker shines the light of an inexpugnable curiosity; The Way the World Works is a keen-minded, generous-spirited compendium by a modern American master. ...
