Monterey Bay Penguin; 310 pages; $27 With intelligent, painterly prose, Hatton, who grew up in Monterey, deftly conjures up a Cannery Row that can still exist in fiction. The Last of the Soviets By Svetlana Alexievich; translated by Bela Shayevich Random House; 470 pages; $30 An enormous investigation of the generation that saw communism fall, Alexievich’s book gives a staggeringly deep and plural picture of a people that has lost its place in history. 32 Stories by Persons of Interest Edited by Bryan Hurt Catapult; 493 pages; $16.95 paperback Smart, eclectic and carefully observed, this collection illuminates the darker corners within our culture and within our private lives.
