George Saunders has won the Man Booker Prize for his novel “Lincoln in the Bardo.” In his review of the book for The Chronicle, Michael Berry wrote, “‘Lincoln in the Bardo’ takes a little-known historical incident and spins from it a work of fiction that plays to his greatest strengths, his eye for the intermingling of the tragic and hilarious, his ear for the speech and thought patterns of the wounded and confused.” The other books that made the shortlist for the...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The imminent fall of the Islamic State's de facto capital leaves America a multitude of tasks to restore stability in the Middle East, starting with pockets of remaining IS resistance in Syria and Iraq. Then there are the more deeply rooted problems, not fixable by guns or bombs, that allowed extremism to rise and flourish: Syria's civil war and Iraq's intractable political, religious and ethnic disputes, which turned violent again this week. The challenge is more than the U.S. can handle alone. Читать дальше...
