Vintage The Mighty Walzer
Howard Jacobson has been described as one of the funniest writers alive, his fiction a masterpiece of comedy. At its best, writes Mary Loudon, it simply tears you apart. Following the success of <I>No More Mr Nice Guy</I> in 1998--Jacobson's foul and funny rendition of the sex war--<I>The Mighty Walzer</I> moves into the strange, and passionate, world of ping pong to tell the life of one Oliver Walzer. Grandiosity was in the family, Oliver announces at the very beginning of his account of a childhood in Manchester in the 1950s. On my father's side. Normally, when I speak of the family I seem to mean my father's side. Make what you like of that. It's a challenge which runs throughout the book. We can make what we like of this history of embarrassments and the family--from some sucking bog outside Proskurov--which supports it. <p> One disillusionment at a time is the principle behind Jacobson's telling of a youth suspended between ping pong and masturbation, mortification and omnipotence, anti- Semitism and the Akiva gang. At the Akiva club, Walzer comes into his own: he's a natural, with the makings of a star (even if he is stoned by the prefab boys on his way there). At home, he's caught between the flamboyance of his market-trader father--the swag, and swagger, he wants to pass on to his son--and his mother's famous reserve. Balancing the split legacy--win or lose? laugh or cry? put up or shut up?--is part of the pain, and pleasure, of the book. No surprise, perhaps, that Walzer is unwilling to make a clear distinction between the two. When it comes to sex and friendship, family and history, life and ping pong, <I>The Mighty Walzer</I> is a brilliant story of one man's journey to the realm of pain fun: the pleasure of a life spent losing and learning what you can ask for. --<I>Vicky Lebeau</I>

Addison Wesley The Unified Software Development Process (Object Technology S.)
A software process defines the steps required to create software successfully. Written by the same authors who brought you the Unified Modelling Language (UML), <I>The Unified Software Development Process</I> introduces a new standard for creating today's software that will certainly be useful for any software developer or manager who is acquainted with UML. <p> Early sections introduce four basic principles of the unified process: that software should stress use cases (which show how it interacts with users), that the process is architecture-centric and that it is iterative and incremental. The authors then apply these principles to their software process, which involves everything from gathering system requirements to analysis, design, implementation and testing. The use-case examples are excellent and include concrete examples drawn from such areas as banking and inventory control. <p> The authors point out the connection between UML document types (like use-cases, class diagrams and state transition diagrams) with various models used throughout the software process. They provide very short, real-world examples that illustrate how their ideas have been successfully applied. The straightforward tour of the new unified software process gets extra elaboration--along with some advice--in later chapters that further describe the author's ideas on design. With the weight of these three expert authors behind it, readers can expect <I>The Unified Software Development Process</I> to be an important book and one that will be valuable to any working designer or manager. --<I>Richard Dragan</I>

Vintage Who's Sorry Now
Howard Jacobson is widely acclaimed as a humorous writer. <I>Who's Sorry Now?</I> is exceedingly funny but for all the bubbling wit, word play and satirical gibes it is infused with darkness. If his last book, the semi-autobiographical <I>The Mighty Walzer</I>, was Philip Roth's <I>Portnoy's Complaint</I> relocated to 1950s Manchester, then this is possibly Jacobson's <I>American Pastoral</I>. <p> <I>Who's Sorry Now?</I> centres on Marvin Kreitman, a middle-aged Jewish Lothario, a man with a nostalgic affection for many of the old discredited categories of masculine swagger. He was once a promising young academic but somehow ended up following in the footsteps of his father--a curmudgeon who hawked purses at a street market in Balham. Now the owner of a thriving leather goods business, Kreitman has a wife and two grown-up children, an elegant house in south London and a string of mistresses. Each week he meets his old university friend Charlie Merriweather for a Chinese meal in Soho. Charlie is a big, puppy dog of a man, brutalised by his public schooling but seemingly (if a little soppily) devoted to his wife and family. The Merriweathers enjoy nice sex and write children's books. To indulge in a vaguely pertinent culinary metaphor, Charlie is sweet to Marvin's sour. However, on this particular day Charlie suggests that they should swap wives--so far so 70s sitcom. Before Marvin can persuade Charlie against the idea, Nyman, a muscle-toned cyclist, runs him down in the street. Nyman is the novel's malevolent force. Following the crash, this apparent nobody, an enigmatic wannabe television star, weasels his way into their lives and triggers a series of unexpected couplings, leaving Kreitman's daughter to enquire at one point: Who's doing what to whom this time?<p> Jacobson examines sexual obsession and infidelity in ribald, if poignant detail. However, it is his exploration of the painful scars left by family life that make this book both riveting and, certainly at its end, disturbing. Although it is littered with wonderfully amusing barbs against the cult of personality, installation art and even backpacker yarn <I>The Beach</I>, there is probably more tragedy than comedy in this remarkable novel.--<I>Travis Elborough</I>

Phaidon Press Chinoiserie
The recent fascination with China in the political and business realms is reflected too in fashion, and <I>Chinoiserie</I> explores a mix of 14th to 20th-century decorative styles based on European fantasies of Cathay. Emphatically not historically correct, Chinoiserie is a style that grew out of a melange of travellers' tales, exaggerations, odd lots from India to Japan, and the European imagination of the exotic. This book is peopled with characters ranging from Marco Polo to Madame de Pompadour and P.T. Barnum. Profuse illustrations conjure the visions of Watteau and Boucher, pot painters in Delft and Minton, garden and kiosk designers from Britain to Poland and creators of 1920s movie palaces--the style's final incarnation. Tracing the history of commerce as well as the image, chapters cover the time when intercontinental travel and trade were difficult if not impossible, the flowering of French rococo Chinoiserie and its spread across 18th-century Europe. It looks also at the <I>jardin anglo-chinois</I>, the descendants of originally aristocratic styles in middle-class English and American homes, and finally the withering of the fantastic Cathay as more reliable information and objects arrived in the West from China in the 19th and 20th centuries.<p> Should you be curious about the intricately carved dragon on a cinema ceiling or wallpaper peopled with monkeys dressed as Chinamen, this smartly designed book written with verve, a love of the subject and an insider's point of view provides a jumping-off point for further study and includes a list of places to visit. --<I>Alex Lawrence, Amazon.com</I>
