...handful of Cheerios on the tray, then stay alert for the sound of his choking while they take a two-minute shower. They consider a week at their in-laws' a vacation and joke that they live at the Target store. They drive a big car not because they haul a lot of lumber but because it gives them a fleeting sense of control. Everything changes when they become parents--when life gets both richer and harder, and everything becomes a trade-off, and the self is no longer the center, and the future is no longer possible to ignore...
...homesteaders, has a knack for connecting with his state's voters. He is a favorite of farmers, whose interests he has championed on the House Agriculture Committee, and of the state's elderly and Native American populations. He is likely to raise as much as $3 million, an impressive haul for a small-state candidate trying to oust an incumbent.

On both boats, you'll be about twice as tall and three times as old as everyone else, but that's part...
This eerie moment forms the emotional and intellectual hinge of Rafael Yglesias' eighth novel, Dr. Neruda's Cure for Evil (Warner Books; 694 pages; $24.95). Unfortunately, it occurs 465 pages into the narrative, well past the halfway mark but nowhere near the end of a long, long reading haul. Psychoanalysis, the so-called talking cure, has rarely, if ever, received a talkier fictional presentation...
