Mind Frame
In 1966 in New York City, ten-year-old Nicholas “Chickenneck” Anderson disappears, leaving his aunt and his neighborhood in despair. In the present day, IT specialist Bruce Spencer’s life unravels when he sees glimpses from the past through the eyes of Chickenneck. Wonder and curiosity—as well as isolation and despair—fill him every time he gets thrust into the past, experiencing the boy’s emotions. Terrified of what is happening to him during these episodes that he calls block-outs, Bruce’s sanity dangles on a precipice. He realizes that seeking justice may be the answer to stopping the block-outs, but his dread of being institutionalized is always with him. He struggles to hide what is occurring from everyone he knows. As two decades collide, Bruce gathers answers with clues from the past, uncovering a horrific crime and discovering what connects him to Chickenneck. Unbeknownst to him, someone is watching. Will searching for a killer place him and his loved ones in danger? Will finding justice destroy Bruce Spencer?

The Judges
From Elie Wiesel, a gripping novel of guilt, innocence, and the perilousness of judging both. A plane en route from New York to Tel Aviv is forced down by bad weather. A nearby house provides refuge for five of its passengers: Claudia, who has left her husband and found new love; Razziel, a religious teacher who was once a political prisoner; Yoav, a terminally ill Israeli commando; George, an archivist who is hiding a Holocaust secret that could bring down a certain politician; and Bruce, a would-be priest turned philanderer. Their host—an enigmatic and disquieting man who calls himself simply the Judge—begins to interrogate them, forcing them to face the truth and meaning of their lives. Soon he announces that one of them—the least worthy—will die. The Judges is a powerful novel that reflects the philosophical, religious, and moral questions that are at the heart of Elie Wiesel’s work.
Recognitions
Carol Donley & Martin Kohn believe that "physicians stand at a unique vantage point as observers of the human condition." In Recognitions: Doctors and Their Stories, the fourth volume in the Literature and Medicine Series, contributors such as Richard Selzer, Robert Coles, Perri Klass, and Jack Coulehan prove this assertion through their moving and enlightening prose.
