I this story collection crackles with the
energy o youth, it also eels written by a
cool-eyed soul reincarnated at least three
times. . . . By turns unny and pitiless, these
tales amount to a vision. The books voice is
unorced in its ready wit, detached compas-
sion. There is an admirable candor. Each
characters sexuality seems the natural
outcome o a lie ully risked.
Allan Gurganus, contest judge and author
oThe Practical Heart and Oldest Living
Conederate Widow Tells All
I cant recall the last time I tore through a
story collection with such unbridled gratitude.Christine Sneed is earless. She sends her her-
oines zooming toward the disasters oretold
in their own sot hearts, but she does so with-
out histrionics. Shes brutally honest and
equally tender about the manners in which
women fnd themselves entrapped. To call her
a rightul heir to Grace Paley and Lorrie Moore
is accurate but insufcient. Portraits o a Few o
the People Ive Made Cry is a stone-cold mira-
cle, and Christine Sneed is my new hero.

American olk art has been studied exhaus-
tively rom the standpoint o the objects
themselves, but Elizabeth Stillingers long-
awaited book is the frst to take a compre-
hensive look at the materials earliest
collectors and their motivations. . . . The
clarity o Stillingers writing makes her
extraordinary intellectual synthesis not only
accessible but appealing to laymen and
scholars alike.

Provides much-needed depth to the many

Responses o e inii series nnouncemen
e been ig orbe:
The work o Bruce and Taeko Brooks is unique.
. . . They have brought to the feld the proven
methodology o Classical philology and appliedit to long unsolved problems concerning the date
and structure o the Chinese classical texts . . . the
result has been a revolution in the understanding
o these texts, and in their proper use as sources
or history.
Christopher I. Beckwith, Indiana University
The picture the Brookses have built up, piece
by piece, over the years deeply alters our under-
standing o the classical texts, o the nature othe dialogue among thinkers, and o the actual
history o early China.
Haun Saussy, Yale University
Through a systematic eort, we get a general
chronology including all the major texts, and this
eort has shown a degree o interconnectedness
that ew would have anticipated.
Jrg Schumacher, Universit de Genve
Every one o the publications planned in this
series will make a major contribution in establish-
ing a new paradigm or our understanding o the
key philosophical, political, and historical texts
. . . how these texts spoke to each other, and how
they evolved in dynamic dialogue with each other.
