THE MARTYRED, by Richard Kim. This remorseless and controlled first novel takes the Korean war as its setting and the presumed martyrdom of twelve Christian ministers as its theme.

ONE FAT ENGLISHMAN, by Kingsley Amis. The author's best novel since Lucky Jim tells of a self-satisfied English libertine, and how some unawed Americans let the air out of his ballooning ego.

WHEN THE CHEERING STOPPED, by Gene Smith. During the last 17 months of his presidency, Woodrow Wilson was crippled mentally and physically by a stroke, but his wife hid his true condition. Reporter Smith re-creates the time and assesses the political effects of the long hiatus in the White House.
