		<description><![CDATA[More than two decades ago, in Money, Martin Amis attempted one of fiction&#8217;s most daringly ambitious scenes when he wrote a rape scene as comedy. Most readers, I&#8217;d assume, read that scene in pieces, with breaks to blush at the line about to be crossed. But through great wit and through wise decisions, such as botching, and not completing, the act, he succeeded. It&#8217;s damn funny. And a good thing it worked out, too, otherwise Amis might still be known as that writer that finds rape funny. Now Amis has again written a book with another rape scene, House of Meetings. While he doesn&#8217;t again attempt heretical laughter, he again pursues an almost unimaginable angle from which to view rape: from the rapist&#8217;s mind,&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;America&#8217;s Boy,&#8221; the most excitable song off of Broadcast&#8217;s newest album, Tender Buttons, must contain one of the very few examples of the Iraq war in art that somehow avoids a pro- or anti-war statement. Its lyrics, according to Trish Keenan, Broadcast&#8217;s singer and co-songwriter, came from an anti-war tabloid crossword puzzle that, instead of solving, she played with. &#8220;What came back,&#8221; she explains, &#8220;was a sort of celebration of the American soldier. Snap shots of the heroics of American Imperialism, the all-out impressiveness of its big achievements. Also, something that the British do not have in their culture, a self-celebratory nature of Americans towards their own country.&#8221; Regarding a war which has an increasingly universal consensus as an immense historical blunder, Keenan makes&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lapses in judgment from a major voice always seem the most confusing to gauge. Glaring faults from a lesser author, one whose renown is safely bound to expire or one who doesn&#8217;t personally speak to you, can be passed off with a guiltless lashing of criticism. But authors of more consequential ilk, ones capable of saying something quite extraordinary, can sometimes err while still giving us something with considerable weight and verve. So how do you appraise a novel whose luster is muddled with shortcomings? What do you say when the work is amply meaningful in parts and yet slips in its overall experience? One approach, muddled itself, is that significance, like experience, can reside in bits and pieces of a blemished whole. In&#8230;]]></description>
