This month's roundup of New in Paperback titles features bestselling authors Joyce Carol Oates, Anne Lamott, Sandra Cisneros and Michel Faber with their respective books: I'LL TAKE YOU THERE, BLUE SHOE, CARAMELO and THE CRIMSON PETAL AND THE WHITE (which our readers selected as one of the ten best hardcovers of 2002). We also have great works of nonfiction, including Carol Ann Lee's thought-provoking biography of Anne Frank's father and Rachel Simon's heartwarming memoir about her mentally challenged sister.
