JOURNEY THROUGH A HAUNTED LAND, by Amos Elon. An Israeli journalist takes a long, thoughtful trip through Germany and writes of the "moral schizophrenia" and conflicting values that haunt the country a generation after the death camps.

THE UNICORN GIRL, by Caroline Glyn. The 19-year-old novelist takes a fresh look at the passions and perils of early adolescence in a properly upsetting setting: a chaotic Girl Guide summer camp.

A SHORTER FINNEGANS WAKE, by James Joyce, edited by Anthony Burgess. Novelist Burgess (A Clockwork Orange) has pulled Joyce's astronomical Dublin masterpiece into the general reader's field of vision simply by cutting out two-thirds of it. There is still plenty of wit and wordplay left.

THE SOLDIER'S ART, by Anthony Powell. War's brutal choreography, scored in the eighth novel of Powell's marathon masterpiece. Here, his central character, Nick Jenkins, dances mindlessly through the bumf (paper work) that accompanies all programmed violence—in this instance, World War II.

BLACK IS BEST, by Jack Olsen. A sharp-eyed biography of Cassius Clay that unerringly—and engagingly—separates fact from bigmouth chaff.
