I Am Glad Everything You Need Is Bullfighting: New Books in Graduate Services for May

It’s the month of May. The month that celebrates that wonderful auxiliary verb we all love. It expresses possibility as well as the ability and capacity to do something. And with that in mind, may  I introduce you to A.L. Kennedy. She is a writer, a comedian, and now she is a part of the Modern Authors Collection in Graduate Services. Three of her books are here now (So I Am Glad, Everything You Need, On Bullfighting) with more on the way in the coming months. After learning about being glad everything you need is bullfighting, may I suggest some other new titles for you to look into? The new one from UC Berkeley Emeritus professor Maxine Hong Kingston is ready to be read. A collection of Antonio Negri’s plays is here for your mind to perform. And if you really want to do some mental aerobics, there’s Hegel and Maurice Merleau-Ponty here to be your trainers. Add a little Ford Maddox Ford, Hanif Kureishi, Peter Matthiessen, and W.B. Yeats to the equation, and it looks like May may have the capicty to equal good days spent reading new books in Graduate Services. So gear up for getting down here to Graduate Services. You may like what you find.

Fielding a Team of Mr. and Ms. Octobers: New Books in Graduate Services for October

It’s been a while since the Modern Authors Collection here in Graduate Services added a few writers to its numbers. All that changed in October. This is a treat without the trick you could say, which is not to say these new additions aren’t language’s magic magicians. What’s more, one of these writers is a professor right here at UC Berkeley. And another is married to a professor at UC Berkeley, who counts himself a member of the Modern Authors Collection. The first Modern Authors Collection couple happening right here and right now. Novelists, Poets, Play Writes, Screen Writers: These eight new XMACers have all the bases covered and though they might be one position short to field a team, that’s where you come in and take the mound dear reader. So, come on over to the Graduate Services Field housed in the Doe Library Memorial Stadium and play ball with the newest additions to the Modern Authors Collection: Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge, Jorie Graham, Alasdair Gray, Lyn Hejinian, Brenda Hillman, James Kelman, Hanif Kureishi, Marilynne Robinson. We might not have all their books yet, but we will soon. And Go Giants! Enjoy.
