Book excerpt: Mnemes Place is Ralph Jonas internal refuge from his anxieties and the pressures of everyday life, a timeless place where he relives his memories and drinks with friends and colleagues, with authors and their characters, with scientists, criminals, psychologists, sociologists, ballet dancers, musicians, artists, and on and on, multitudes of people he has known, or not known, but read and read about. Jonas two big passions are the English language, as spoken by the Irish, and baseball. He is at his most comfortable with the tens of thousands of ballplayers at Mnemes, and often spends time assembling two All-Star teams, one Jewish and one Polish, himself the manager of both. Having fled Hollywood for Europe to regain his sanity after years of writing for TV, Jonas attempts to write a novel about his former writing partners, his own dysfunctional familymother, father, sisterand the Isaacsons, his mothers family, the likes of whom have never been written in American immigrant literature. While it proves impossible for Jonas to put these people down on paper, Wolfe has created a fascinating and unforgettable lineup of characters.

Book excerpt: In 750 B.C.E., the poet Homeros (now called Homer) regains consciousness three days after a devastating head wound that has left him aphasic: an oral bard without the ability to speak or compose.Homeros awakens not only to a life-threatening skull fracture and the loss of his livelihood, but to the news that his wife was murdered on the same night. Two days later, his poetic rival is found dead as well-and Homeros is a suspect in both deaths. Now he must convalesce, regain the ability to speak, and find the killer responsible for the deaths and for his own crippling injuries. As he probes the crimes, memories dating back years suggest possible suspects.But brain damage has left Homeros unable to recall the month preceding the attack. So in addition to his other challenges, he must reconstruct what led up to the crimes; and as he does so, memories of his own failures as a husband and father, some dating back eleven years, hint at his own guilt. The family relationships of Homeros, his wife, and their daughters prove an integral part of the mystery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume XXIII in the Corinth series is dedicated to the finds from the Gymnasium Area, excavated between 1965 and 1972 by James R. Wiseman and the University of Texas at Austin. Fascicle XXIII.1 presents the marble sculpture, 126 pieces dating between the 6th century B.C. and 5th century A.D. and found in or near a variety of built features, including the ornately decorated Bath-Fountain complex. Among the sculptural finds are portraits of athletes and civic officials and depictions of Dionysos, Hermes, and Aphrodite and the nymphs. Herms and statue bases also form part of the assemblage. This corpus grants us insight into the sculptural practices after the founding of the Roman colony at Corinth, and critical knowledge concerning display context, reuse, and the deposition of sculpture at a gymnasium in a large regional center of the eastern Mediterranean.
