An important life of George Kennan, and of writers Kurt Vonnegut, Lorine Niedecker and William Carlos Williams. Short stories by a master writer, an inventive memoir of China’s social transformation, the best-written recent book on Pakistan, meditations on the Arab condition, and a reassessment of the cultural politics of Russia in the 1930s. And an important book on the recent healthcare reform from someone who’s seen it all.
