...most recent offering, Del Amor y Otros Demonios, Colombian Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez reconstructs life in the colonialera Americas with his usual flourishes of magic realism. I've always thought that the way in which the Americas assumed its current form, or came to be--through a process shaped by desire and fear--is the most exciting, magical story of all.

...easy to confirm Garcia's opinion. As Henrie walks through the Lowell dining hall, he greets students left and right, inquiring both about the progress of their theses and their personal lives. Henrie's allure is not merely on an academic level. "He builds tremendous loyalty by teaching people how play squash, which has a wonderful widespread effect on the house spirit," says Markel. When questioned on this, Henrie replies, "Squash is the only thing I do well physically, so I share it with people...
