Do you have the urge to read a melancholy World War One novel; set in Cambridge, or a novel centered on Roman Jews; that has no plot what so ever, or maybe a book about our U.S. President, “a character who never develops”, or even a non-fiction novel about a cult based on secular metaphysics set in Big Sur? If all of those topics catch your eye, then you should check out these debut titles: The Indian Clerk by David Leavitt, The Worst Intentions by Alessandro Piperno, Dead Certain by Robert Draper, and last but surely not least Esalen by Jeffery J. Kripal. Happy reading!

A beautiful summary, Maral. It is all about tone--yours and the NYer's. I skimmed these reviews briefly, and it did not occur to me that the mag might be dissing these books. But you have praised enough relevant details that I start to think otherwise.
