Fiction: Being Dead by Jim Crace (Picador, $12)
General Nonfiction: Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing by Ted Conover (Random,
$24.95)
Biography/Autobiography: Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan by Herbert

from PW Daily

...I haven't read Being Dead, but I read an earlier novel by Crace 
called Quarantine, and highly recommend it. It's a fictionalized 
treatment of Jesus' 40 days in the desert and temptation by the 
devil, from a secular point of view.
