Attention, book reviewers! Publishers Weekly offers a sneak peek into some noteworthy galleys of winter (2008) books.

Linkage to/discussion of an issue of some importance to me: fiction inspired, or set against the context of, "current events." Why can't people just remember the wise words of dear old Henry James, and allow fiction writers to choose their own subjects?
