KIRKUS REVIEW  Lee's command, despite his own military genius, was one of almost unmixed tragedy, confusion and helplessness. He came to lead the forces of Virginia only after long indecision and prayer. The army placed under him possessed neither arms, shoes or supplies. His generals were neither loyal nor obedient to his orders, and Lee, suffering from a single weakness, did not have the courage to remove them. Vital strategic plans fell into the wrong hands; sickness and death in Lee's own family matched his grief on the death of Jackson, his chief and bravest support in battle. The details, precise and intimate, of Lee's day by day experiences are retold- as if by an eye witness. Lee's family attitudes, his stoicism, his horse, his search for a pencil when correcting the draft of his surrender- all this is vivid, immediate and convincing. The accounts of action are especially impressive. Certainly obligatory for Civil War enthusiasts, for history students, and for others a moving portrait.

Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable new novel, Timbuktu. Mr Bones is the sidekick and confidant of Willy G. Christmas, the brilliant, troubled and altogether original poet-saint from Brooklyn. They sally forth on a last great adventure heading for Baltimore, Maryland, in search of Willy's high-school teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last saw his beloved mentor, who knew him in his previous incarnation as William Gurevitch, the son of Polish war refugees. But is Mrs Swanson still alive? And if she isn't, what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as Timbuktu? Mr Bones is our witness. Although he walks on four legs and cannot speak, he can think, and out of his thoughts Auster has spun one of the richest, most compelling tales in recent American fiction. By turns comic, poignant and tragic, Timbuktu is above all a love story.
