A TWISTED JOURNEY Life is like a roller coaster, filled with twists and turns, ups and downs. Th e truth of this adage can be found in Robert Andrews's short story collection, A Twisted Journey and Other Short Adventures. Simple and sometimes horrific events turn characters' lives upside-down, but rather than get off the ride, most of them hang on and hope for more. In the title story, A Twisted Journey, art gallery employee Tammy is shaken by a mysterious intruder with the knife. Th e seeds of a serious mood disorder come to the surface and distort her perceptions. Will the wounds heal and allow her to fi nd love, or will the trauma lead her down the path into darkness? In part two, stories include magical feats of strange women, a widow's quest for peace, and a senior unwilling to accept age stereotypes. In these and other tails, expect the unexpected. The characters ride the roller coaster of life and to voyage with them is certainly worth the effort.

In Reading Chekhov Janet Malcolm takes on three roles: literary critic, biographer and journalist. Her close readings of Chekhov's stories and plays are interwoven with episodes from his life and framed by an account of a recent journey she made to St Petersburg. Malcolm demonstrates how the shadow of death that hovered over most of Chekhov's literary career - he became consumptive in his twenties and died in his forties - is almost everywhere reflected in the work. She writes of his childhood, his relationship with his family, his marriage, his travels, his early success, his exile to Yalta - always with an eye to connecting them to his themes and characters.
