<p>Carol Hebald’s novel, A Warsaw Chronicle, depicts the moving portrait of Karolina Heybald, an American exchange professor at Warsaw University during the 1981 advent of martial law. Underlying the conflict between the Communist regime and Solidarity's struggle against it looms the threat of a Soviet invasion. In the midst of food scarcity and turbulent political upheaval, Karolina’s attempts to locate a missing first cousin entangle her in the fate of her brilliantly gifted student, Marek, the son of a duplicitous Communist official. Torn by conflicting loyalties—a poet in service to his conscience, a soldier under orders to the state—Marek’s only hope lies in Karolina’s valiant efforts to secure his fellowship at her home university.</p>

<p>A comedic fantasy in three cantos, DELUSION OF GRANDEUR concerns the current incarnation of the offspring of Mary, Mother of God, and the Prince of Darkness: She is The Fat Lady at Coney Island Zoo. Victim of a senseless shooting in her cage, she wakes the following morning in the vestibule of heaven. Unaware of her identity, she is certain she's been sent to the wrong place. Yenta Angel, the bookkeeper who tries to draw her out, receives news that some poets are storming the Tower of Babel with words; they are rallying for a universal language to abolish misunderstanding. No sooner do their words turn to stones, than an escalating quarrel between the poets and clergy about the crises on earth brings heaven to the brink of war. With God aroused from a nap, and Fat Lady's identity revealed as the elder half- sister of Jesus, the action culminates in a symbolic marriage uniting all racial and religious denominations.</p>
