Oliver Taplin's translation of The Oresteia: Agamemnon, Women at the Graveside, Orestes at Athens, by Aeschylus, is this week's starred nonfiction title. "Along with that of [Peter] Meineck's, Taplin's translation is a fine combination of theatricality, accessibility, and accuracy. The best available." The Complete Angel Catbird, by Margaret Atwood, with illustrations by Johnnie Christmas and Tamra Bonvillain, is this week's starred graphic novel.
