Hello. This is the future. See our spaceships. See our moving sidewalks and silent cars. See our tallest, shiniest building and the bright blue sky that teeters upon its point.   Thus begins Grant Bailie s fourth book, TomorrowLand, A collection of interwoven stories and drawings that offer a vision of the future that is, by turns, dystopian, nostalgic, whimsical, surreal, and morose. With a cast of characters that include mad scientists, disenchanted time travelers, and robots falling from space, Bailie creates a dream like world that is at once familiar and unlike anything you have seen before.

The Irish Hungarian Guide to the Domestic Arts proves that the Rust Belt is the perfect backdrop for a whirlwind romance, that shopping at the discount grocery is really performance art, and that a half-acre lot in the middle of America is all you need to accommodate a field of dreams. This book is also a food memoir for the rest of us, wherein a dozen ears of sweet corn turn a humble bowl of chowder into a divine creation, the Hamburger Helper glove dukes it out with a scrappy bowl of slumgullion, and banishing the blues is as easy as lunch with Holly Golightly at the local farmers' market. A misfit Irish-but-not-Catholic girl from Cleveland's west side, O'Brien is funny and sophisticated, projecting triumph through the lens of the domicile without blinking when sorrow fills the screen. The right measure of quirk and earthy sex separate this book from the Erma Bombeck set, while O'Brien's dry Midwest humor ties it all together.

Nelson Munroe carries a shipment he should have never agreed to take. Swinging between paranoia and desperation he convinces himself that completing the delivery circuit will provide redemption and the possibility of a new start for his stalled life. How could he know what awaits him once he hits his destination? A pack of dogs acting as guides to his deconstruction, a man burrowed in a hole who gives him a chance of escape, a destitute and luckless rock duo, a captain of an ore barge who might give him his last, best chance for a purposeful life, a faded beauty, a queen of the dispossessed, who gives him shelter, and his lost connection who takes a dim and murderous view of his ineptitude. Cactus Jack has stumbled back into town, looking to put down roots, to find a sense of permanence and the healing of old wounds, after decades of following his enormous appetites and passions. He buys an abandoned house in the rotted core of the city and soon a family of runaways, outcasts and his one enduring love form around his grandiose and cockeyed vision. Nothing will stand in the way of Jack's last great act, not his battered knees and broken-down body, not his poverty, or his own history of abandonment and failure. So go the two narratives in this whipsaw of a novel that careens between prophecy and slapstick, trivia and philosophy, absurdity and social commentary, between sex and violence, jokes and meditations, song and a flawed psychological evaluation. Dogs in the Cathedral covers the ground of the epic within in a city on the verge of collapse or rebirth.

Evans, Donald G.

Salinger's writing is like a bear in the kitchen, tearing into the tender truth of everyday life with unpredictable swipes from sharp linguistic claws "capable of ripping through a refrigerator's skin." A grappling hook in a stingray, a red-tailed hawk on a bark covered fence post, an outdated pack of Twizzlers - Salinger describes familiar images with "the choreographed precision of slow motion pistons," scientifically accurate and unsentimentally clear.
