children's books non-fiction fiction off the shelf REVIEWS OF CURRENT BOOKS "Tiff MORDIDA MAN" by Ross Thi Inas Simon and Schuster $1395 Itr: must be painful for Ross Thomas writing all those pages of all hose novels with his tongue plaited so firmly in his cheek The unsuspecting reader who hasn't made Thomas' acquaintance will catch on quickly when he discovers an ex-congressman amazingly named Chubb Dunjee is featured in this book Thomas offers amusing highly Improbable adventure yarns with no continuing cast of characters Hera we have Dunjee (the bribe-giver or Mordida Man) various higltofficials of Libya a dead terrorilt a computer genius who stole millions before going on the lam 'from US authorities and the presktent and his wheeler-dealer brother Bingo Reading the dust jacket (or trying to describe the plot in a review) Is no way to convey the flavor of Thomas' books This one involves kidnapping murder thieves oil companies politics the CIA revenge sex An outline of the plot is confusing But reading Thomas is another matter "The Mordida Man" is funny and believable in its own way It's certainly entertaining even to those not addicted to mysteries Epperheimer "IN OUR TIME" by Tom Wolfe Farrar Straus Giroux $1295 Here's a book that should put to rest for a while the idea that one picture is worth 1000 words Given the choice of an essay by Tom Wolfe or a few dozen of his sketches take the essay every time You'll learn more Wolfe's latest book "In Our Time" collects two essays previously published in Life and Esquire and 80 or so of his sketches which have appeared in various publications and some of his previous books Wolfe has an unforgiving eye for frailties whether in writing or drawing but the sketches and caricatures lack the power to compel re-examination the way his best writing does Technically the sketches share some kinship with the social commentary of Honore Daumier the political cartoons of Thomas Nast and the whimsy of illustrator Ronald Searle They have won a certain following and have been exhibited in one-man shows and collections The two essays cover much of the same territory exploring in particular changing
