The Books: The Way Out 7/28/10 After 2005's satisfying if not exactly revelatory Lost and Safe, this long period of artistic gestation is further stoked by the opening sample of The Way Out, which declares (via what sounds like a self-help tape voiced by the narrator of “Magnolia”), “Welcome to a new beginning…that’s right, a new beginning.” It’s enough to send my Books-loving heart racing at the possibilities.
