You're Married to Her?
A 26-year-old unknown writer begins an affair with a glamorous older woman, an acclaimed poet/novelist. What she sees in a neurotic but sweet enough guy with a catastrophic imagination and an insatiable sex drive is apparent to no one, especially him. In a wildly self-skewering but infectiously affable voice, Wood reimagines his early years with his future wife, Marge Piercy, in a series of chronologically linked essays, never failing to raise the question that few failed to ask, You're Married to her?

In this seemingly utopian society, free from war and want, every aspect of human existence is meticulously planned and calibrated for efficiency by Uni, which guides the lives of each member of the Family—the eugenically-merged human race, who share a single language and religion, yet live under constant chemical conditioning and behav...
Confessions of an Elf
I don't think anyone honestly believes that this infamous list, supposedly kept by Santa, really amounts to a hill of beans. Naughty or nice, everybody's included in Christmas. Always! That's just the way the boss operates. An elf from the North Pole, on a determined mission, breaks the Elfin Code of Silence in order to bring our twenty-first century world an update on the true meaning of Christmas and the very real spirit of Santa Claus. His outsider perspective of the world of 'biggles' offers each person who celebrates Christmas a valuable lesson on the holiday, their lives, and an inside look at who Santa Claus really is. As he explains it to the author: 'This isn't as much a book for children as it is a book for the child-like virtues inside all humans ... regardless of their age.' If the Christmas season is a special time in your life, this book is for you.
