...blackmails his boss for an air ticket and follows the trail to Munich. The corruption here is prosperity gone to fat. Needing to create a diversion in a parking garage, Arkady jostles a swollen, glistening car. Its alarm screams. Another jostled car and another; the German miracle bawls its rage. On to post-Wall Berlin, awash in refugees and resentments, smelling of money, poverty and developers' schemes. Arkady has found his old love Irina, the Siberian beauty lost in the West since Gorky Park, and they spend the night together on the tiled floor of a raw, unfinished apartment...

Historical fiction is all the rage these days--from Umberto Eco to Susan Sontag and now to Updike. The "facts" may not be true, but maybe it's more interesting that way. There isn't much of a market for books on Buchanan--even in his home town--but Updike's book will deservedly land on best seller lists...
...with consistent, rapid-fire bass playing. He also collaborates with Nash to write emotional, from-the-heart lyrics. Like alternative rock singers Black Francis (of the Pixies) and Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth), Nash has the ability to switch her voice from a peaceful lullaby one moment to a rage-filled shriek the next. Her voice quietly draws in the listener before overwhelming with her sheer power...
