Albert's Dreams
The imaginings of a boy lead to confusion in love and relationships in later life. A particular sort of boy, a dreamer by nature perhaps, finds real life difficult to discover; and those around him are caught up in his struggles.
Of the Power of the Intellect
Ideas and lives in a novel about thought and reality. The narrator tries to make something more of his subject (a mathematician) than is usual in a biography. He is committed to telling the truth for reasons which go deeper than historical accuracy.
That's All
“...something was happening deep inside him, like his heart wanted to yawn...” “How foolish to begin once more to imagine his life as really worth living; to forget that no life is worth living; or rather, that being alive is hardly worth anything.”
Shady Cady
"Is it bad to have pretend secrets?" "In a detective story it's all right. For entertainment. For make believe." "When are pretend secrets wrong?" "Whenever someone wants to learn." "What if they want to learn to write a make-believe story?" Do you ever consider your customers when you work on something? I mean, do you only follow your own instincts or do you imagine what might be tasteful or interesting to others I don't write detective fiction, but I imagine there is the basic form, genre, which is largely unconscious, and then there is the elaboration which is highly variable. Is that variation wholly determined by an uncompromising attitude on the part of the author or does he look over his shoulder so to speak and imagine how the audience will react, like an actor. Do you come up against this kind of consideration in your work?"

He was Shannon, one of the fastest horses the nation had ever seen. Between 1943 and 1947, Shannon broke record after record with his garrulous jockey Darby Munro.

Why the Haves Come Out Ahead
This is the fortieth anniversary edition of a classic of law and society, updated with extensive new commentary. Drawing a distinction between experienced “repeat players” and inexperienced “one shotters” in the U.S. judicial system, Marc Galanter establishes a recognized and applied model of how the structure of the legal system and an actor’s frequency of interaction with it can predict outcomes. Notwithstanding democratic institutions of governance and the “majestic equality” of the courts, the enactment and implementation of genuinely redistributive measures is a hard uphill struggle.
