THUNDERBOLT KID, THE
Bill Bryson's first travel book opened with the immortal line, 'I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to.' In this hilarious new memoir, he travels back to explore the kid he once was and the weird and wonderful world of 1950s America. He modestly claims that this is a book about not very much: about being small and getting much larger slowly. But for the rest of us, it is a laugh-out-loud book that will speak volumes - especially to anyone who has ever been young.

ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
More than 70 years after his death, Arthur Conan Doyle remains one of the world's best-loved authors. Famed as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle was a fascinating man in his own right - physician, sportsman, crusader for social justice and war correspondent. From his early whale-hunting days to his later celebrity, Conan Doyle's life was as gripping as any of his own adventure tales.
This stunningly candid volume of never-before-published letters sheds fascinating light on a man who has remained largely hidden behind his most famous character. Gracefully written and consistently revealing, these letters illuminate Conan Doyle's life, character and career as never before.

JOURNAL OF JOYCE CAROL OATES
On New Year's Day 1973, Joyce Carol Oates began keeping a journal which she maintains to this day. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of the artist as a young woman, fully engaged with her world and her culture - a writer who paradoxically thought of herself as 'invisible' while becoming one of the most respected, honored, discussed, and controversial figures in American letters.
