''I am not the author of this novel. I am the corpse. But never mind that now. Telling, that's what matters now, with the yapper full of worms if need be, like the dead narrator making his way from A to Z in my favorite movie, Sunset Boulevard, by Billy Wilder.'' From Zoe Valdes' novel I Gave You All I Had (Arcade, $24.95)
''Satya's heart is black and dense as a stone within her.'' From What the Body Remembers (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, $25.95), a novel by Shauna Singh Baldwin
