SAMUEL PEPYS(ISBN=9780375725531)
Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) is the most famous diarist in Englishletters. From 1660 to 1669, he penned an unforgettable day-by-dayde*ion of Restoration London, with its disasters (the GreatPlague of 1665, the Great Fire of 1666), its tumultuous politicsand its amazing cultural fervor. Pepys's diary also describes hiseager womanizing, as he makes passes, often clumsily, at barmaidsand shop girls and the wives of his associates. It is Pepys'sintermingling of the public and the private that makes his diary soremarkable. Tomalin (Jane Austin: A Life, etc.) really knows herman, following him closely through some of the great events ofEnglish history. As a young government clerk, Pepys allied himselfwith his cousin Edward Montagu, who turned away from Cromwell tohelp Charles II become king in 1660, and the Restoration madePepys's career. Highly organized, intelligent and a savvy politicalinfighter, as Tomalin portrays him, he became a leading navyofficial and helped build the British navy into a world power.Tom

SPEAK, MEMORY(ISBN=9780679723394)
The late Vladimir Nabokov always did things his way, andhis classic autobiography is no exception. No dry recital of dates,names, and addresses for this linguistic magician--instead, Speak, Memory is a succession of lapidary episodes, in whichthe factoids play second fiddle to the development of Nabokov'ssensibility. There is, to be sure, an impressionistic whirl throughthe author's family history (including a gallery of Tartar princesand fin-de-siècle oddities). And Nabokov's account of his tenure atSt. Petersburg's famous Tenishev School--where he counted Osip Mandelstam among hisschoolmates--offers a lovely glimpse into the heart of Russia'ssilver age. Still, Nabokov is much too artful an autobiographer topresent Speak, Memory as a slice of reality--a word, by theway, that he insisted must always be surrounded by quotationmarks.

Boorstin does not aim at being comprehensive--he muchprefers to linger over certain "heroes of the imagination" as hesurveys human accomplishment in the fields of architecture, music,painting, sculpting, and writing--yet The Creators certainly feels comprehensive, as Boorstin carefully places everythinghe describes within a grand tradition of aesthetic achievement.

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS(ISBN=9780679785897)
Heralded as the "best book on the dope decade" by the New YorkTimes Book Review, Hunter S. Thompson's documented drug orgythrough Las Vegas would no doubt leave Nancy Reagan blushing andD.A.R.E. founders rethinking their motto. Under the pseudonym ofRaoul Duke, Thompson travels with his Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo,in a souped-up convertible dubbed the "Great Red Shark." In itstrunk, they stow "two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets ofmescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shakerhalf-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers,downers, screamers, laughers.... A quart of tequila, a quart ofrum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls,"which they manage to consume during their short tour. On assignment from a sports magazine to cover "the fabulous Mint400"--a free-for-all biker's race in the heart of the Nevadadesert--the drug-a-delic duo stumbles through Vegas inhallucinatory hopes of finding the American dream (two truck-stopwaitresses tell t

UNKNOWN MATISSE, THE(ISBN=9780375711336)
Matisse was born in 1869 in northern France and grew up inBohain-en-Vermandois, near the Belgian border, on the drab, cold,wet beet fields of French Flanders. The same area, culturally andgeographically speaking, had produced Vincent van Gogh sixteenyears before. Thus begins the first full biography of an artistwho, more than any other, is associated with Mediterranean heat,brilliant color and light, and languid, luxurious interiors. Asauthor Hilary Spurling points out, an open window is one ofMatisse's frequent motifs. Given the climate of his youth, thatimage speaks more of escape than of the sea air of the FrenchRiviera. If all biographers wrote with Spurling's warmth, empathy, andintelligence, no one would likely want to read any other kind ofbook. The Unknown Matisse is thoroughly researched, with pagesdevoted to minutiae that Spurling imparts with wit and style,making every nuance of Matisse's early development fascinating. Shetells too the story of Matisse's family life (Mme. Matisse riske

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X(ISBN=9780345376718)
Malcolm X's searing memoir belongs on the small shelf of greatautobiographies. The reasons are many: the blistering honesty withwhich he recounts his transformation from a bitter,self-destructive petty criminal into an articulate politicalactivist, the continued relevance of his militant analysis of whiteracism, and his emphasis on self-respect and self-help for AfricanAmericans. And there's the vividness with which he depicts blackpopular culture--try as he might to criticize those lindy hops atBoston's Roseland dance hall from the perspective of his Muslimfaith, he can't help but make them sound pretty wonderful. Theseare but a few examples. The Autobiography of Malcolm X limnsan archetypal journey from ignorance and despair to knowledge andspiritual awakening. When Malcolm tells coauthor Alex Haley,"People don't realize how a man's whole life can be changed by onebook," he voices the central belief underpinning every attempt toset down a personal story as an example for others.

Starred Review. Van Gogh's reputation in the publicimagination has been made as much by his descent into madness as byhis art. Detailing the final year of his life and the "Studio ofthe South" in which Gauguin and Van Gogh painted side by side,Gayford brings the art back into focus. Explications of the worksilluminate the collaboration—similar subjects find very differenttreatment by two entirely different temperaments. Yet theirinfluence on each other is everywhere—a story that Van Goghrecommends to Gauguin finds its way into a painting; Van Gogh usesthe jute canvas that is Gauguin's material of choice. While some ofthis is well-trodden territory, Gayford's narrative is genuinelydramatic as it moves toward Van Gogh's fateful end. Gayford makesexciting new connections between the tone of Van Gogh'scorrespondence and known scholarship about his probable bipolardisorder. The influences of literature, the news media andso-called "hygienic excursions" (visits to the local brothels)percolate in these le

Like its multi-hyphenate author, Jay-Z, Decoded is many thingsat once. At its core, Decoded is an eloquent and candid memoirdetailing the story of a man who was born in a Brooklyn housingproject, spent his teen years dealing drugs on the streets ofTrenton, New Jersey, and grew up to be one of his generation’s mostsuccessful artists and businessmen. But Decoded is much more than amemoir: it is an intensely personal homage to hip-hop, as writtenby a man who so clearly adores the art form; it is a rare glimpseof the unexpectedly deep meanings behind the most recognizable raplyrics of the last decade; and it is a truly moving collection ofessays on topics ranging from Hurricane Katrina to the decline ofthe music industry. Unconventional type design, line drawings, andphotographs visually emphasize the author’s message that rap is aform that transcends and defies easy categorization. There’s notmuch in the way of celebrity gossip here, but what we get, instead,is a gritty and enormously compelling loo
