LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
nyone who hasn't done battle with their demons and come out the other side can enter Denis Johnson's world and get a lesson. Those who have will certainly find some understanding.
Much of "Alice in Wonderland" is composed of private jokes and details of Victorian manners that modern audiences are not likely to understand. Thus the need for an "Annotated" edition of the children's classic.
Funeral director Thomas Lynch returns with a second collection of essays infused with the worldly wisdom of the man who knows all too well where we're heading.
Also, a new biography of rock critic Lester Bangs, two books from Mexico, and more.
