Electroboy is an emotionally frenzied memoir that reveals with kaleidoscopic intensity the terrifying world of manic depression. For years Andy Behrman hid his raging mania behind a larger-than-life personality. He sought a high wherever he could find one and changed jobs the way some people change outfits: filmmaker, PR agent, art dealer, stripper-whatever made him feel like a cartoon character, invincible and bright. Misdiagnosed by psychiatrists and psychotherapists for years, his condition exacted a terrible price: out-of-control euphoric highs and tornadolike rages of depression that put his life in jeopardy.
Ignoring his crescendoing illness, Behrman struggled to keep up appearances, clinging to the golden-boy image he had cultivated in his youth. But when he turned to art forgery, he found himself the subject of a scandal lapped up by the New York media, then incarcerated, then under house arrest. And for the first time the golden boy didn't have a ready escape hatch from his unraveling life. Ingesting handfuls of antidepressants and tranquilizers and feeling his mind lose traction, he opted for the last resort: electroshock therapy.
At once hilarious and harrowing, Electroboy paints a mesmerizing portrait of a man held hostage by his in-satiable desire to consume. Along the way, it shows us the New York that never sleeps: a world of strip clubs, after-hours dives, and twenty-four-hour coffee shops, whose cheap seductions offer comfort to the city's lonely souls. This unforgettable memoir is a unique contribution to the literature of mental illness and introduces a writer whose energy may well keep you up all night.

Running Guns: The Black Market in Small Arms by Lora Lumpe, ISBN 1856498735

Whether it is Africa, Sri Lanka, or even Chechnya and Afghanistan, it is not heavy weaponry or hi-tech devices that kill the most people, but the flood of cheap, easy to get, small arms that has swept over so many countries in the 80s and 90s. Yet a lot of this cross-border arms trade is illegal. This important and readable new book seeks to advance our understanding of the illegal arms traffic.

The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, ISBN 0684815001

One of the most important theologians of the twentieth century illuminates the relationship between ourselves and the teachings of Jesus

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace." "Cheap grace," Bonhoeffer wrote, "is the grace we bestow on ourselves...grace without discipleship....Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the girl which must be asked for, the door at which a man must know....It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life."

"The Cost of Discipleship" is a compelling statement of the demands of sacrifice and ethical consistency from a man whose...

Mimi's Ghost by Tim Parks, ISBN 1559705566

Morris seems unable to get over the loss of his ex-fiancee Mimi, but then, he should have thought of that before he held her for ransom and ultimately did away with her. Now, he's newly married and gainfully employed, but can't shake his discontent. Just as he is beginning to adjust to his new life, he visits Mimi's grave, where her charming photograph on the gravestone distinctly winks at him. This does not bode well for his latest scheme (exploiting immigrants for cheap labor), which, of course, leads Morris further into murder and mayhem. This darkly amusing romp now joins Morris' first caper, Juggling the Stars, in paperback. Mimi's Ghost by Tim Parks, ISBN 1559705566

Standing in a River Waving a Stick

With a dry wit and a proclivity for one-liners that prompted Sports Illustrated to compare him to Mark Twain, Gierach explores such matters as the difference between fishing in ponds and in streams; what makes a good fly pattern; the ethics of writing about undiscovered trout waters; and the fisherman's tendency to treat everything in life in terms of how it is either like or unlike fishing.
