Novel History: Historian and Novelists Confront America's Past And Each Other
Simon & Schuster 2001. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Very-good clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 352 pages. NO tears inside book. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. 22 pages show writing/highlighting. Does NOT interfere with reading. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. Historical fiction is a contradiction in terms. History is what happened; fiction what did not. Yet great novelists have often disregarded this logical difficulty taking up the tools of the historian to explore the shadowy recesses of the past. Their labors have brought forth many literary treasures. But how accurately do these masterpieces of the imagination reflect the past In Novel History twenty accomplished historians consider this question in relation to some of our most important historical novels. Their essays are followed in most instances by a response from the novelist. These dialogues illuminate one of the most fascinating and perplexing issues of our time -- the relation between the "real" past and our finest imaginative renderings of it. Novel History includes essays by distinguished historians such as John Demos Michael Kammen Joan D. Hedrick John Lukacs Eugene D. Genovese Richard White and Tom Wicker and responses from notable novelists including Gore Vidal John Updike Russell Banks Don DeLillo Larry McMurtry Jane Smiley Madison Smartt Bell William Styron T. Coraghessan Boyle William Kennedy Charles Frazier Thomas Fleming and Tim O'Brien. Novel History is both a uniquely compelling perspective and superb collection of literary history.

Synopsis: In a stunning work of insight and hope New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb once again reveals his unmatched talent for finding humanity in the lost and lonely and celebrates the transforming power of the written word. For several years Lamb has taught writing to a group of women prisoners at York Correctional Institution in Connecticut. In this unforgettable collection the women of York describe in their own words how they were imprisoned by abuse rejection and their own self-destructive impulses long before they entered the criminal justice system. Yet these are powerful stories of hope and healing told by writers who have left victimhood behind. In his moving introduction Lamb describes the incredible journey of expression and self-awareness the women took through their writing and shares how they challenged him as a teacher and as a fellow author. Couldn't Keep It to Myself is a true testament to the process of finding oneself and working toward a better day. The Los Angeles Times: One truth this book affirms is the capacity for people to change. The writers of Couldn't Keep It to Myself chart their own journeys of growth navigating the terrain of their internal worlds their pasts and present prison realities. Who they have become is clear both in self-awareness and what they do with their lives teaching others advocacy computer work construction in prison and out. It is in this change that hope resides; lying next to and rising out of despair hope permeates the book. Why in the end does Lamb want us to care about 10 women in prison Perhaps because in noticing the humanity of others we become more human ourselves. Kathy Boudin Biography: Wally Lamb's books are neither short nor simple; but like a James Patterson of emotions he pulls readers in and doesn't let go. His affecting novels are marvels of imagination and empathy. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Regan Books Paperback

A striking characteristic surfaces from the slew of similar questions being asked and responded to again and again in these pages. If Erdrich and Dorris have forged a distinctive partnership--and it appears they have--it is due in part to their fearless acceptance of an unprecedented level of creative participation in each other's writing.

Halberstam David
Everything They Had: Sports Writing from David Halberstam
Hyperion Books 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new book. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 401 pages. "Sometimes sports mirrors society sometimes it allows us to understand the larger society a little better. But mostly it is a world of entertainment of talented and driven young men and women who do certain things with both skill and passion." --David Halberstam David Halberstam was a distinguished journalist and historian of American politics. He was also a sports writer. Everything They Had brings together for the first time his articles from newspapers and magazines a wide-ranging collection edited by Glenn Stout selected over the full scope of Halberstam's five decades as one of America's most honored journalists. These are dazzling portraits of some of the most compelling sports figures of our era the superstars of popular sports like basketball football and baseball but also fishing soccer and rowing and the amateur athletes who play for the love of the game. In "My Dinner with Theodore" Halberstam recounts his long anticipated--and unforgettable--meeting with Red Sox legend Ted Williams. Against the backdrop of 1960s Nashville he beautifully recounts a lifelong love of football in "How I Fell in Love with the NFL." And "Men Without Women" set on a fishing expedition in Patagonia is more than a hunt for giant brown trout--it is a story of fishing friendship and fellowship. These and many more stories exemplify the breadth and depth of David Halberstam's devotion to diverse sports and his respect and fascination for the men and women who play them so well. The result is an intimate and personal collection that reveals the issues and the ideals David Halberstam cared about--racial equality friendship loyalty and character--and creates a vivid and unforgettable portrait of the author himself. Everything They Had takes its rightful place alongside Halberstam's bestselling sports titles which include The Breaks of the Game The Amateurs Summer of '49 and The Education of a Coach.

Now Woodward tells the story of his long complex relationship with W. Mark Felt the enigmatic former No. 2 man in the Federal Bureau of Investigation who helped end the presidency of Richard Nixon." "The Secret Man chronicles the story in intimate detail from Woodward's first chance encounter with Felt in the Nixon White House to their covert middle-of-the-night meetings in an underground parking garage to the aftermath of Watergate and decades beyond until Felt finally stepped forward at age 91 to unmask himself as Deep Throat." "In this volume part memoir part morality tale part political and journalistic history Woodward provides context and detail about The Washington Post's expose of Watergate. He examines his later tense relationship with Felt when the FBI man stood charged with authorizing FBI burglaries. Not knowing Felt's secret role in the demise of his own presidency Nixon testified at Felt's trial and Ronald Reagan later pardoned him. Woodward lays bare his own personal struggles as he tries to define his relationship his obligations and his gratitude to this extraordinary confidential source." The Secret Man is an intense 33-year journey providing a one-of-a-kind study of trust deception pressures alliances doubts and a lifetime of secrets. Woodward has spent more than three decades asking himself why Mark Felt became Deep Throat. Now the world can see what happened and why brining to a close one of the last chapters of Watergate.

Halberstam David
Everything They Had: Sports Writing from David Halberstam
Hyperion Books 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Like-new book. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 401 pages. "Sometimes sports mirrors society sometimes it allows us to understand the larger society a little better. But mostly it is a world of entertainment of talented and driven young men and women who do certain things with both skill and passion." --David Halberstam David Halberstam was a distinguished journalist and historian of American politics. He was also a sports writer. Everything They Had brings together for the first time his articles from newspapers and magazines a wide-ranging collection edited by Glenn Stout selected over the full scope of Halberstam's five decades as one of America's most honored journalists. These are dazzling portraits of some of the most compelling sports figures of our era the superstars of popular sports like basketball football and baseball but also fishing soccer and rowing and the amateur athletes who play for the love of the game. In "My Dinner with Theodore" Halberstam recounts his long anticipated--and unforgettable--meeting with Red Sox legend Ted Williams. Against the backdrop of 1960s Nashville he beautifully recounts a lifelong love of football in "How I Fell in Love with the NFL." And "Men Without Women" set on a fishing expedition in Patagonia is more than a hunt for giant brown trout--it is a story of fishing friendship and fellowship. These and many more stories exemplify the breadth and depth of David Halberstam's devotion to diverse sports and his respect and fascination for the men and women who play them so well. The result is an intimate and personal collection that reveals the issues and the ideals David Halberstam cared about--racial equality friendship loyalty and character--and creates a vivid and unforgettable portrait of the author himself. Everything They Had takes its rightful place alongside Halberstam's bestselling sports titles which include The Breaks of the Game The Amateurs Summer of '49 and The Education of a Coach.

Jason Kathrine Edited & Translated By
Name and Tears and Other Stories: Forty Years of Italian Fiction Graywolf Short Fiction Series
St Paul Minnesota U.S.A.: Graywolf Press 1990. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 231 pages. From Publishers Weekly The essentially humane spirit informing the explosion of literary forms in post-WW II Italy suffuses this collection. Short stories from 26 authors explore such characteristics as neorealism or regionalism and demonstrate the inventiveness and political implications of recent Italian fiction. Best are the samplings of authors likely to be unfamiliar to Americans including Gesualdo Bufalino whose prose is mannered and nearly hallucinatory; the satirist Luigi Malerba; and Guiseppe Pontiggia with a critical voice that is never arch. Jason translator of Tommaso Landolfi's Words in Commotion makes no attempts to canonize. Major figures such as Primo Levi and Elsa Morante are omitted for technical not "aesthetic" reasons she states; others including Cesare Pavese are queerly deemed "marginal" to the scope of the omnibus while still others e.g. Italo Calvino Anna Maria Ortese Natalia Ginzburg are represented by works that predate by several decades their most developed styles. Jason's preface is as unusually cogent as it is concise; she also supplies helpful thumbnail introductions to each author along with graceful distinctive translations. Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information Inc. Graywolf Press Paperback
