Review Biography and the Postmodern Historical Novel (Studies in the Historical Novel, V. 3) / Edwin Mellen Press:This book describes and evaluated the ever-intensifiying uneasiness felt by contemporary readers and critics when they confront real people in fictional texts. The book's range and depth of analysis is impressive. The fortunes of Dutch Schultz, Lee Harvey Oswald, and Richard Nixon at the hands of novelists, dramatists, film makers and composers receive close attention, and so do fictional representations of biographers themselves.

Review Book of Mr. Natural / Fantagraphics Books:Mr. Natural is a 1960s guru, "th' only knower of th' cosmic mysteries alive at this time. " Calling him a "mystic madcap" gives the crass, less-than-compassionate charlatan the benefit of the doubt. He is not particularly wise or helpful; in fact, he's a lecherous, grumbling old geezer who gives advice such as "When you arise in the morning, you should do last night's dirty dishes. then you should sing a simple melody (of your own choice). then you should call somebody up (not me). [+]then go to the store. buy some asparagus. " True to the collection's name and R. Crumb's reputation, the stories are sometimes sexually graphic (especially in the scenes with Devil Girl) and a bit on the violent side. Still, there's an innocent, upbeat quality to this comic reflection of America's most notoriously freewheeling decade.

Review The Best of Alex 1998-2001 / Carlton Books Ltd:Alex, the cartoon investment banker who resides on the business pages of the Daily Telegraph, emerges into a new Millennium just as arrogant and unpleasant as he was in the old. The City of London, where he plies his trade, lurches through the full Bust to Boom and Back Again economic cycle: the collapse of Russia and the Far East in 1998; the dotcom bubble; the non-event that was the Y2K bug; the predictable, yet unpredicted, burst of the dotcom bubble; and the reversion to familiar recessionary habits in 2001. Throughout this flux Alex exhibits all his traditional expertise: fabricating expense accounts, freeloading shamelessly at France 98 and the Rugby World Cup while orchestrating manoeuvres to maximise his Christmas bonus and placate his fractious client Mr Hardcastle. His hapless colleague Clive shows his customary absence of commercial acumen by opening a doomed restaurant and selling his soul to the Devil. Together they have to meet some of the challenges of the Twenty First Century: Robin, their infuriatingly computer literate graduate trainee, and the sartorial tyranny of permanent dress down.
