While still haunted by "real-life" memories, she soon gets swept up in this Austenesque world as she becomes attuned to the thoughts, feelings, and memories of her host. Hardcover, $24.95

William Gibson
Despite a full complement of thieves, pushers and pirates, Spook Country is less a conventional thriller than a devastatingly precise characterization of American culture. When a mysterious magazine entitled Node hires Hollis Henry to do a story on a new art form that exists only in virtual reality, Hollis finds herself investigating something considerably more dangerous. Gibson writes fiction that is powerfully attuned to currents of dread, dismay and confusion. Hardcover, $25.95

| Music
| | |      | | | | |
Zap Mama $18.95
Zap Mama is an all-female a cappella quintet founded by Zaire native Marie Daulne. Unlike her earlier work, where Dualne brought together other women to sing with her, this album is all about Dualne. Written and sung by Dualne herself, each song weaves a tapestry of musical styles and culture with intricate vocals, polyrhythmic beats, and deeply moving stories to tell.
| Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John Peter Case $16.95
Peter Case is back with this album - his most raw, direct work in nearly a decade. The album of politically-fueled and personally-visionary songs finds Case in his finest form, laying down intricate and driving fingerstyle guitar with his uniquely delivered dusty road-poetry. Sleepy John is yet another volume in the career of one of the finest singer/ songwriters of his generation.

Bruce Hornsby $18.95
Grammy-winning pianist/composer Bruce Hornsby makes his highly anticipated instrumental jazz return in this masterful collection of originals and re-envisioned tunes by Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell. Featuring jazz titans Christian McBride on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, the album provids an exciting and brilliant display of talent and originality.
| |
Johnny Irion $15.95
Though Johnny Irion's music has been closely tied to that of his wife, Sarah Lee Guthrie (Arlo's daughter, Woody's granddaughter), on Ex Tempore he makes a bold step toward asserting his own artistic identity. Bending and blending genres, Irion presents a varied yet cohesive collection intermingling piano balladry, Americana, chamber pop and folk-style fingerpicking, with the occasional blast of rock to clear the air.

Cyril Pahinui $$16.95
Cyril Paninui's third solo album features twelve more classic solo recordings, including four soulful vocals and eight powerful instrumentals that showcase his traditional yet highly personal and modern approach to Hawaiian slack key guitar.
