Just Like Being There, But You’re Here: New Titles in Graduate Services for February

More new books in Graduate Services this month. (No alarms and no surprises there.) The big names with the big brains are here–Deleuze, Derrida, and Jameson–along with the big hearts–Ashbery, Beckett, Baldwin, Wakoski, and Oates. But that’s not all, if you come in at all in the next month, you’ll find our new book shelf containes some distinguished UC Berkeley professors (well, books by them that is): Eric Naiman, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Ishmael Reed, and Mark Brillant (come read his book and see if the man lives up to the name). And if you can’t wait for the next event to be put on by the Townsend Center here at UC Berkeley, you can come on over to Graduate Services and read numbers 2 and 3 of the Townsend Papers in the Humanities series–No. 1 is already in our collection. It’s just like being there, but you’re here. February. What a month! Enjoy.
