A writer named Caroline Rose is persecuted by a `typing ghost` who is writing a story about her, even as she composes her own novel. Meanwhile, her fiance, Lawrence Manders, discovers that his elderly grandmother has been involved in diamond-smuggling (with a bizarre crew that sent messages via carrier pigeon). THE COMFORTERS, Muriel Spark`s first novel, was highly acclaimed in 1957, when it was published. Like several of her works, the act of writing - and, in particular, of writing this particular book - is part of the plot.

THE DOOR is Margaret Atwood`s first book of poetry since the 1995 MORNING IN THE BURNED HOUSE. Its lucid yet urgent poems range in tone from lyric to ironic to meditative to prophetic, and in subject from the personal to the political viewed in its broadest sense. They investigate the mysterious writing of poetry itself, as well as the passage of time and our shared sense of mortality. As the New York Times has said, `Atwood`s poems are short, glistening with terse, bright images`. A brave and compassionate book, THE DOOR interrogates the certainties that we build our lives on.
