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. Admirers should delight in fascinating glimpses of their work process and personal lives. --Alice Joyce. Univ Pr of Mississippi Hardcover

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.

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.

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

Reilly Rick
The Life of Reilly: The Best of Sports Illustrated's Rick Reilly
Total Sports Publishing 2000. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-nice clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 272 pages. Witty irreverent opinionated honest laugh-out-loud funny -- these are just a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe the writing of Rick Reilly the six-time National Sportswriter of the Year who has entertained the readers of Sports Illustrated for 15 years with his unique perspective on the world of sports and life in general. Now in The Life of Reilly Rick has selected 66 of his finest stories to create a collection that is sure to amuse inform and provoke sports fans and non-fans alike. The book is organized around Reilly's seven Rs: Rants Raves Reality Roots Rough Wrecks and Royalty. His subjects range from the sublime -- UCLA coach John Wooden one of sports' most honorable men -- to the ridiculous -- Reilly's terrifying trip aboard an F-14D Tomcat fighter -- and also include a healthy dose of opinion on everything from the ubiquity of the Nike symbol to the overpaid brats we call professional athletes these days. There are features on sports greats rants against high-profile athletic programs tales of golfing glory in and out of the spotlight reflections on enduring values and the true meaning of sacrifice and personal stories about the Reilly family's trials and tribulations. Evident throughout is Reilly's trademark humor on ample display in his story of playing golf with President Clinton whom he finds himself with horror calling "Pard" his discussion of cheerleading mania "Cheerleaders from all over tried to write me hate mail but cheerleader hate mail is not terribly scary. They'd write 'I hope you die!' and put a little heart over the 'i.'" and his experience as the coach of a quirky Little League team his players are more concerned with how to eat sunflower seeds without using their hands than with the intricacies of baseball. Treat yourself to The Life of Reilly -- those who know Reilly's work will be pleased to revisit the master; those who don't will be thrilled to discover an extraordinary talent.

Gibson John
HATING AMERICA: THE NEW WORLD SPORT
New York New York U.S.A.: Regan Books 2004. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 289 pages. John Gibson is one of the Fox News Channel's most outspoken personalities. Now as the aftershocks of the war in Iraq reverberate around the world Gibson exposes the outrageous tenor of anti-American sentiment filling newsprint and airwaves beyond our borders and how disagreements over policy have mushroomed into poisonous hatred. From the "Arab street" to the halls of even the most historically friendly foreign governments extreme anti-Americanism has grown disturbingly pervasive throughout the world since the shell-shocking moment of 9/11. Over the year that followed Gibson writes "I began to watch the overseas press with a morbid fascination punctuated by bursts of outrage. The things that were being said about America and Americans were marked by an off-the-charts level of venom a scandalous parade of mistaken assumptions an endless font of suspicion mistrust and the promulgation of outright willful lies. The viciousness of commentary on America was breathtaking." And as Gibson traces the hate speech has gone well beyond the usual suspects in the Middle East infecting our erstwhile allies in Europe Asia and even Canada. British Prime Minister Tony Blair complained that "some of the rhetoric I hear used about America is more savage than some of the rhetoric I hear about Saddam and the Iraqi regime." Presumptuous Belgian officials attempted to bring American officials up on war-crimes charges. And special hatred was reserved for President George W. Bush whom one Australian newspaper dismissed as "the village idiot." As America defends its security in the ongoing war on terror Gibson argues we must be prepared to face this growing tide of resentment abroad which will only result in serious consequences for the haters themselves. For the anti-Americans he argues would "like us to forget that those who hate us may eventually try to kill us -- because they now know that we will never allow that to happen without exacting a price on those who would attempt it.".
