Another reason for Bellow to celebrate is the appearance next week of his 13th novel, Ravelstein (Viking; 233 pages; $24.95). His pleasure in this new arrival, though, has been tinged with an annoyance. Most of the prepublication chatter about Ravelstein has pegged the book as a barely fictionalized account of Bellow's close friendship with Allan Bloom, his colleague at the University of Chicago and the author of the phenomenally best-selling The Closing of the American Mind (1987).

...exploration of this world of insanity poses a question to the audience: who is truly crazy and is our preconceived idea of sanity reliable? Catherine Gowl masters the play's most challenging role by showing us glimpses of sincerely felt pain and tenderness in the midst of Bananas' outrageous chatter and acrobatics, including watering the flowers on the wall and climbing on and under furniture.

Philbin has had enough to deal with throughout the years--from Gifford's tabloid troubles to her sweatshop scandals to her chatter about 10-year-old son Cody--that Regis deserves a morning show...
...Strategist Mike Murphy sits at McCain's right hand, playing hall monitor by clarifying positions and editing possible missteps the candidate might make. Murphy is a bottomless pit of tall tales and campaign spin who can spell the candidate from having to provide round-the-clock sound bites and chatter...
