Why CCSS Matters for College Courses:“Higher education attainment is an ultimate goal of the Common Core standards, which

aim to make sure students are ‘college and career-ready’ by the end of high school. . . . If theCommon Core is implemented as advocates intend, its effects would significantly alter how

many things work in higher education too. . . . [Transforming] dual enrollment programs,placement tests, and remediation.They could force colleges within state systems, and even

across states, to agree on what it means to be ‘college ready,’ and to work alongside K–12to help students who are unprepared for college before they graduate from high school.In the long run, it could force changes in credit-bearing courses too, to better align with

what students are supposed to have mastered by high school graduation.”—Libby A. Nelson,“Common Core Curriculum for K–12 Could Have Far-reaching Effects

on Higher Education”(5/3/2013) Inside Higher Ed. (tiny.cc/vhrwxw)

LuCkY JIMBy kinsley Amis • Introduction by Keith Gessen

This is the story of Jim Dixon, a hapless lecturer in medieval history at a provincial university. KingsleyAmis’s scabrous debut leads the reader through a gallery of emphatically English bores, cranks, frauds,and neurotics with whom Dixon must contend in one way or another in order to hold on to his cushyacademic perch and win the girl of his fancy.

More than just a merciless satire of cloistered college life and stuffy postwar manners, Lucky Jim is anattack on the forces of boredom.

“Remarkable for its relentless skewering of artifice and pretension, Lucky Jim also contains some ofthe finest comic set pieces in the language.” —Olivia Laing, The Observer

THE wASTE LAND AND OTHER wRITINgSBy T. S. Eliot • Introduction by Mary Karr

First published in 1922, “The Waste Land” is T. S. Eliot’s masterpiece, and is not only one of the keyworks of modernism, but also one of the greatest poetic achievements of the twentieth century. A richlyallusive pilgrimage of spiritual and psychological torment and redemption, Eliot’s poem exerted arevolutionary influence on his contemporaries, summoning forth a rich new poetic language, breakingdecisively with Romantic and Victorian poetic traditions.

In her new Introduction, Mary Karr dispels some of the myths of the great poem’s inaccessibility andsheds fresh light on the ways in which “The Waste Land” illuminates contemporary experience.

MR. TOPPIT: A NovelBy Charles Elton

When Arthur Hayman, an unsuccessful screenwriter turned children’s book author, is accidentally hit by a cement truck in London, his dying moments are spent with an American tourist who is fated to bring posthumous fame to his obscure series, The Hayseed Chronicles. Arthur’s legacy falls to his widow,Martha, and their children, the fragile Rachel and Luke, reluctantly immortalized as the fictional LukeHayseed, hero of his father’s books.

“Mr. Toppit is a darkly comic, thoroughly engaging narrative about a successful writer and thecomplicated legacy he leaves to his wife and children, and to the world at large. Charles Elton’switty and unsettling debut novel explores the emotional turmoil that results when a family’sprivate history gets transformed into public myth.”

TEN PLAYSBy Eripides • Translated by Moses Hadas and John McLeanIntroduction by Moses Hadas

The first playwright of democracy, Euripides wrote with enduring insight and biting satire about socialand political problems of Athenian life. In contrast to his contemporaries, he brought an exciting—and,to the Greeks, a stunning—realism to the “pure and noble form” of tragedy. For the first time in history,heroes and heroines on the stage were not idealized. As Sophocles said, “Euripides shows people notas they ought to be, but as they actually are.”

Considered by George Bernard Shaw to be the greatest of the Greek dramatists, Euripides is nowregarded by many as the originator of the dramatic sensibility that developed into what we call“modern” European drama.


THE ESSENTIAL wRITINgS Of RALPH wALDO EMERSONBy Ralph waldo Emerson • Edited by Broos Atinson • Introduction by Mary Oliver

The definitive collection of Emerson’s major speeches, essays, and poetry, The Essential Writings of RalphWaldo Emerson chronicles the life’s work of a true “American Scholar.”

As one of the architects of the transcendentalist movement, Emerson embraced a philosophy thatchampioned the individual, emphasized independent thought, and prized “the splendid labyrinth of one’s own perceptions.” More than any writer of his time, he forged a style distinct from his Europeanpredecessors and embodied and defined what it meant to be an American. Matthew Arnold calledEmerson’s essays “the most important work done in prose.”

DREAMINg IN CuBAN: A NovelBy Cristina garcía

Here is the dreamy and bittersweet story of a family divided by politics and geography during theCuban revolution. It is the family story of Celia del Pino—and her husband, daughter and grand-children—from the mid-1930s to 1980s. Celia’s story mirrors the magical realism of Cuba itself, acountry of beauty and poverty, idealism and corruption.

“Dreaming in Cuban is written in language that is by turns languid and sensual, curt and surprising.García has distilled a new tongue from scraps salvaged through upheaval.”

THE MIRADOR: Dreamed Memories o Irène Némirosy by Her DahterBy Élisabeth gille • Translated by Marina Harss

Élisabeth Gille was only five years old when her mother, Irène Némirovksy, the author of Suite

Française, died in Aushwitz. In 1992, Gille published this fictionalized autobiography of her mother,who had led a sparkling life in Paris as one of the most successful and prolific European writers of the 1930s before being arrested as a Jew led to her death in 1942. As fully and deeply imagined asNémirovksy’s novels, The Mirador will prove indispensable to devotees of Gille’s nearly forgottenmother, who is brought back to life by Gille’s graceful words.

MAIN STREETBy Sinclair Leis

The first of his major novels of the 1920s, Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street satirizes the manners of theAmerican Midwest. Here is the story of Carol Kennicott, who, to be accepted, must adapt to the waysof Gopher Prairie, Minnesota.

Lewis’s portrayal of a marriage torn by disillusionment and a woman forced into compromises is atonce devastating social satire and persuasive realism. This groundbreaking novel attacks conformism,commercialism, moneygrubbing, and the decline in what Lewis saw as the American ideals of freedomand respect for individuality.

SNOwBALL’S CHANCEBy John Reed • foreord by Aleander Cocbrn • Aterord by James Sherry

Written in 14 days shortly after the September 11th attacks, Snowball’s Chance is an outrageous and

unauthorized companion to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, in which exiled pig Snowball returns tothe farm, takes charge, and implements a new world order of untrammeled capitalism. Orwell’s “Allanimals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” has morphed into the new rallyingcry: “All animals are born equal—what they become is their own affair.”

A timely political satire and literary parody, John Reed’s Snowball’s Chance has caused controversy sinceits publication in 2002. Now, a decade later, with America in wars on many fronts, readers can judgeanew the visionary truth of Reed’s satirical masterpiece.

THE MOUNTAIN LIONBy Jean Staord • Aterord by kathryn Dais

Two kids growing up in a genteel suburb of Los Angeles, Ralph and his younger sister, Molly, areindependent-minded, highly imaginative, and more than a little wild. They have no patience with theevasive politeness and mincing words of their mother and older sisters, so they’re delighted whenthey’re sent for the summer to the Colorado mountain ranch of their uncle Claude. Initially, thechildren feel liberated by this encounter with nature at its most ruggedly spectacular anddemanding. Soon, however, Ralph begins to sense, not without anxiety, the call and challenge of impending manhood, while Molly, for her part, burns both with the ambition of becoming a writerand the fear of being left behind in childhood. Neither suspects that tragedy may be the costof coming of age.

SLEEPAwAY SCHOOL: Stories rom a Boy’s Lie, A MemoirBy Lee Striner • foreord by krt vonnet

Like his brother before him, Stringer was surrendered to foster care shortly after birth by his unwed

and underemployed mother—a common practice for unmarried women in mid-century America. Lesscommon was that she returned six years later to reclaim her children. Rather than leading to a happyending, though, this is where Stringer’s story begins. The clash of being poor and black in an affluent,largely white New York suburb begins to foment pain and rage, which erupts, more often than not,when he is at school. One violent episode results in his expulsion from the sixth grade and hissubsequent three-year stint at Hawthorne, the “Sleepaway School” of the title.

“Gregory D. Sumner’s Unstuck in Time is a wonderful primer to Kurt Vonnegut’s work. Every pagebrims with analytic insight, biographical revelation, and old-fashioned storytelling.”

THE MAN THAT CORRuPTED HADLEYBuRgBy Mar Tain

Written on hotel stationery while Mark Twain was in Europe on the run from American creditors,soon after the death of a daughter, The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg is often cited as a work of bittercynicism—a statement on America, to some; on the Dreyfus Case, to others—created by a weary authorat the end of his career.

The story of a mysterious stranger who orchestrates a fraud embarrassing the hypocritical citizensof “incorruptible” Hadleyburg, this novella is an exceptionally crafted work intertwining a deviousand suspenseful plot with some of the wittiest dialogue Twain ever wrote. This brilliant novella is acomplex and compassionate consideration of the human character by a master at the height of his form.

THE MYSTERIOuS STRANgERBy Mar Tain

The Mysterious Stranger, published posthumously in 1916, is Mark Twain’s final work and very much belonging to his “dark” period, which belies the popular image of the affable American humorist. Ateenage stranger named Satan visits the remote Austrian village Eseldorf and informs a group of teensthat misfortune is about to befall their families. This starts a series of events that lead the village intomayhem. In this antireligious tale, Twain denies the existence of a benign Providence, a soul, anafterlife, and even reality itself. As the Stranger in the story asserts, “nothing exists; all is a dream.”

gOD BLESS YOu, DR. kEvORkIANBy krt vonnet • Introduction by Neil Gaiman

In God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian, Vonnegut skips back and forth between life and the afterlife as if thedifference between them were rather slight. In thirty odd “interviews,” Vonnegut trips down “the bluetunnel to the pearly gates” in the guise of a roving reporter conducting interviews for public radio.

What began as a series of ninety-second radio interludes for WNYC, New York City’s public radiostation, evolved into this provocative collection of musings about who and what we live for, and howmuch it all matters in the end. From the original portrait by his friend Jules Feiffer that graces the coverto a final entry from Kilgore Trout, God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian remains a joy.

The definitive political biography of Rosa Parks examines her six decades of activism, challengingperceptions of her as an accidental actor in the civil rights movement.

Presenting a corrective to the popular notion of Rosa Parks as the quiet seamstress who, with a singleact, birthed the modern civil rights movement, Theoharis provides a revealing window into Parks’spolitics and years of activism. She shows readers how this civil rights movement radical sought—formore than a half a century—to expose and eradicate the American racial-caste system in jobs, schools,public services, and criminal justice.

“Historian Theoharis offers a complex portrait of a forceful, determined woman who had long beenactive before the boycott she inspired and who had an even longer career in civil rights afterward.”

NAZISM AND wARBy Richard Bessel

The Second World War was the defining event of the twentieth century, leaving millions dead andredrawing the political map in ways that continue to affect nearly the entire human race. Unlikeprevious territorial or political clashes, the war launched by Nazi Germany was an ideological one,waged to wipe entire peoples and cultures from the face of the earth.

In Nazism and War, Richard Bessel, one of the preeminent authorities on the social and political

history of modern Germany, demonstrates how racial hatred was the driving force behind—and not a by-product of—Nazism.

“Bessel’s basic premise—that wars past present, and future were at least as central to the Nazi ethosas racism—is an illuminating one, correcting many a crude caricature. . . . Clear, engaging, andquietly profound.” —Booklist

DANgEROuS gAMES: The Uses and Abuses of HistoryBy Mararet MacMillan

History is useful when it is used properly: to understand why we and those we must deal withthink and react in certain ways. It can offer examples to inform our decisions and guesses about theconsequences of our actions. But we should be wary of looking to history for dogmatic lessons. Weshould distrust those who abuse history when they call on it to justify unreasonable claims to land, forexample, or restitution. Acclaimed historian Margaret MacMillan illustrates how dangerous history can

be in the hands of nationalistic or religious or ethnic leaders who use it to foster a sense of grievanceand a desire for revenge.

“MacMillan deftly maneuvers through time [in this] wide-ranging and provocative testament totransparency as the best historical education.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

fLATLAND: A Romance o Many DimensionsBy Edin A. Abbott

This highly original and entertaining short novel tells the story of A. Square, an inhabitant of the two-dimensional world Flatland. After an overview of Flatland society, A. Square recounts how he was ledon a series of travels to Pointland, Lineland, and Spaceland. Through his encounters with these otherlands, A. Square realizes that there is more to the universe than the world he lives in.

Victorian clergyman and Shakespearean scholar Edwin A. Abbott penned this mathematical allegory

about the dawn of reason. Touching on themes of humanity’s insatiable quest for truth, authority’stendency to squash radical ideas born from this quest, and the necessity of curiosity, Flatland is an oddand charming little book whose impact far surpasses its concise prose.

DARwIN’S gHOSTS: The Secret History of EvolutionBy Rebecca Stott

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book (“100 Best Books”)

Soon after the publication of On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin received a letter that accused himof taking credit for a theory that had already been discovered. Realizing his error, Darwin tried to traceall of the philosophers who had laid the groundwork for his theory, but found that history had alreadyforgotten them. Rebecca Stott goes in search of these ghosts, and the discovery of evolution.

“Stott brings Darwin himself to life. . . . [She] writes with a novelist’s flair. . . . Darwin and the‘ghosts’ so richly described in Ms. Stott’s enjoyable book are the descendants of Aristotle andBacon and the ancestors of today’s scientists.” —The Wall Street Journal
