مستخلص: LET'S TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME: A Memoir of Friendship, by Gail Caldwell (Random House, $14.) Caldwell, a Pulitzer-winning literary critic, and Caroline Knapp had a lot in common: both were dog lovers and recovering alcoholics (Knapp wrote the memoir ''Drinking: A Love Story''). This chronicle of Knapp's terminal cancer -- she died in 2002 -- is a tribute to their bond. ''When it came to matters of the soul and the psyche,'' Caldwell writes, ''we each knew how to tend to the other.'' THE WIDOWER'S TALE, by Julia Glass (Anchor, $15.) Seventy-year-old Percy Darling, a former Harvard librarian and the cranky widower of Glass's richly layered novel, is settling comfortably into retirement. But his routines are disrupted when he is persuaded to let a local preschool take over his moldering barn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
