Pierpont Claudia Roth
Passionate Minds: Women Rewriting the World
New York New York U.S.A.: Vintage Books 2000. Book. Fine. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine bright pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 299 pages. Synopsis Pierpont an award-winning writer and scholar; no university affiliation profiles Gertrude Stein Mae West Anais Nin Eudora Welty Margaret Mitchell Zora Neale Huston Marina Tsvetaeva Hannah Arendt & Mary McCarthy and Doris Lessing. In particular she explores these writers in terms of their involvement with issues of sexual freedom race and politics. These essays were originally published in during the past eight years but appear here in revised and expanded form. Annotation c. Book News Inc. Portland OR Publishers Weekly Considering "how ambitious women worked out their destinies in an age of momentous transition" Pierpont scrutinizes 12 well-known 20th-century women in these essays revised and expanded from their original publication in the New Yorker. In her highly capable hands these diverse women--writers philosophers and a movie star--come alive through probing questions about their work and vivid details about their lives. In the first grouping Pierpont explores "issues of sexual freedom" through the widely varying perspectives of Olive Schreimer Gertrude Stein Anais Nin and Mae West. The second part concerned with race and the third with politics cover figures from Zora Neale Hurston Margaret Mitchell and Eudora Welty to Ayn Rand Hannah Arendt and Mary McCarthy. Of course connections and overlapping concerns emerge through the course of these excellent astute pieces. The most interesting parallels are those that are least expected and those that occur across the borders of nationality class and medium--such as coincident views of women's power between Arendt and Mitchell or similar sexual stances on the part of Nin and Rand. In her arrangement of writings Pierpont raises questions about women's progress through the century: What do these "women of a transitional age" tell us about our own "internal change" She also defends her subjects from harsh contemporary judgment "for they had hardly any models to follow apart from a handful of suicidal literary heroines." Indeed perhaps this collection's most noteworthy contribution is its levelheaded sympathetic and unsentimental nature especially given that the name alone of many of these figures such as Rand and Nin can provoke powerful reactions from both admirers and detractors. Mar. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information. Biography Claudia Roth Pierpont a contributor to The New Yorker since 1990 has received a Whiting Writer's Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She holds a Ph.D. in Italian Renaissance art history from New York University. She lives in New York City. Vintage Books Paperback

Norris Kathleen
Acedia & Me: A Marriage Monks and a Writer's Life
New York New York U.S.A.: Riverhead Books 2008. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. Previous owner's signature in book front on blank page Glena. 336 pages. NO tears inside book. Tight spine bright pages. Several pages show highlighting light yellow. Does NOT interfere with reading. IF NOT for the highlighting I would have rated this book as Fine Condition. The Barnes & Noble Review Of the seven deadly sins some seem deadlier than others. What of sloth How bad can it be The lust of philandering public figures and the greed of businessmen can bring down governments and capsize the globe's economies. Even gluttony seems an appalling indulgence of both waste and waists inviting civic intervention against fast-food chains and trans fats. By comparison I doubt many can define sloth even if they know it -- like obscenity -- when they see it. Slothful behavior may seem wanton and disdainful but it poses nothing of the menace to the individual or the social good that its half-dozen dangerous brethren threaten. Whether conceived of as melancholic apathy or lazy indolence sloth goes a lonely path. Synopsis Kathleen Norris's masterpiece: a personal and moving memoir that resurrects the ancient term acedia or soul-weariness and brilliantly explores its relevancy to the modern individual and culture. Kathleen Norris had written several much loved books yet she couldn't drag herself out of bed in the morning couldn't summon the energy for daily tasks. Even as she struggled Norris recognized her familiar battle with acedia. She had discovered the word in an early Church text when she was in her thirties. Having endured times of deep soul-weariness since she was a teenager she immediately recognized that this passage described her affliction: sinking into a state of being unable to care. Fascinated by this "noonday demon" so familiar to those in the early and medieval Church Norris read intensively and knew she must restore this forgotten but utterly relevant and important concept to the modern world's vernacular. Like Norris's bestselling The Cloister Walk Acedia & me is part memoir and part meditation. As in her bestselling Amazing Grace here Norris explicates and demystifies a spiritual concept exploring acedia through the geography of her life as a writer; her marriage and the challenges of commitment in the midst of grave illness; and her keen interest in the monastic tradition. Unlike her earlier books this one features a poignant narrative throughout of Norris's and her husband's bouts with acedia and its clinical cousin depression. Moreover her analysis of acedia reveals its burden not just on individuals but on whole societies- and that the "restless boredom frantic escapism commitment phobia and enervatingdespair that we struggle with today are the ancient demon of acedia in modern dress." An examination of acedia in the light of theology psychology monastic spirituality the healing powers of religious practice and Norris's own experience Acedia & me is both intimate and historically sweeping brimming with exasperation and reverence sometimes funny often provocative and always important.

Tight spine bright pages. 250 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. - In a clear and lively style with rich literary references from classic and contemporary fiction Novakovich teaches you how to: uncover ideas worth writing about; evoke a vivid sense of place and time; invent believable characters for your fiction; support your story with strong organization and structure; tell your story from the best viewpoint; direct your dramatic action; open and close with power and grace; choose expressive details; write with a commanding narrative voice; and transform your first draft into finished polished fiction. At the end of each chapter a dozen or more unique writing exercises each with a clear "objective statement" to focus your efforts will help you put what you learn into action while exploring new ideas approaches and genres. After you complete each exercise "check" questions will help you review what you've done - so that you may revise or rewrite. Encouraging real improvement over negative self-criticism Novakovich helps you gain a more productive sense of where you can write one more line that will add life to what you already have down - or where you can delete a line that may obscure your readers' view. He helps you develop day-to-day self-discipline. And perhaps most important he respects and encourages your development of personal style. "I will give you a lot of advice" he says "but you need not take it." As a writer Novakovich knows that the strongest fiction emerges from your own choices and directions.

Illustrated with photos. NO writing maarks or tears. - ABC-TV's Lynn Sherr writes a savvy witty and moving memoir about events that have shaped her life and her career as one of the first women to break through in broadcast television As a reporter for 40 years most of them on television Lynn Sherr has brought clarity and insight to many of the most compelling news events of our day-from politics to murder trials to the space program. Now this widely respected award-winning journalist lets us in on what she's seen "inside the box" as she steps outside for a reality check. She tells how television journalism has changed over the years for better and for worse and explores the critical state of TV news today. Her accounts of the political and cultural upheavals she covered also make this a social history of our time. When she first began in the industry newspaper editors bluntly told her "We don't hire girls" but Lynn persevered both covering and experiencing the emergence of modern feminism. All that despite being fired from her first TV job! She also addresses the heartbreak of her husband's death followed by her own battle with colon cancer. Lynn Sherr opens up about those painful times with an honesty that will touch and inspire readers. Her personal accounts growing up in Philadelphia where her father was a pioneering professional basketball player; suddenly becoming a stepmom; slipping off to commune with giraffes all underscore her insistence on always keeping one foot outside the box.

Kohn Bob
Journalistic Fraud: How the New York Times Distorts the News and Why It Can No Longer Be Trusted
Nashville Tennessee U.S.A.: WND Books 2003. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 321 pages. - A life-long reader of the New York Times proves how the once-vaunted newspaper has replaced its original noble mission to present straight news with a new subversive mission to manipulate attitudes and promote leftist agendas.For over a hundred years the New York Times has purported to present straight news and hard facts. But as Bob Kohn shows with absolute clarity the founders' original vision has been hijacked and today instead of straight news readers are given mere editorial under the pretense of objective journalism. Kohn shows point by point the methods by which the Times' mission has been subverted by the present management-routinely slanting the presentation of the facts in leads headlines and placement; utilizing polls labels and loaded language to convey particular views not genuine news; and staffing the newsroom with hacks who manipulate information to further a leftist agenda. Kohn shows how such fraudulence directly corrupts hundreds of news agencies across the world; and by revealing all their methods of manipulation he teaches readers how to decipher the slants in even the subtlest of cases providing an entertaining and enlightening lesson in fraud-busting. About The Author: Bob Kohn is an attorney and seasoned executive with experience in both the entertainment and high-tech industries. He is currently the vice chairman of the board of Borland Software Corp. and chairman of Laugh.com a comedy record label. A former associate attorney at a prominent Beverly Hills entertainment law firm Kohn served as associate editor of the Entertainment Law Reporter. Kohn also co-authored with his father the legal treatise Kohn on Music Licensing hailed by USA Today as the "bible of legal issues in the music world.". WND Books Hardcover

Illustrated with photos. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 432 pages. In Bob Schieffer's own words from the JFK assassination to the World Trade Center attacks "I got to see most of it and came to know many of the major figures of those four decades because I am a reporter. I became a reporter because I always wanted to see things for myself and make my own judgments about them. Those events I covered have become part of our history and you already know most of them. But I want to tell you about the parts that didn't get on television or in the paper the serious parts and the not-so-serious parts the good times I had and the presidents senators correspondents big-time crooks and small-time swindlers I came to know. Here are the stories I tell my friends and they are the stories I want to share with you." Schieffer is not only broadcast journalism's most experienced Washington reporter but one of its best natural writers. This Just In is filled with great behind-the-scenes tales and surprising scoops based on dozens of brand-new-and sometimes startling-interviews. Smart witty and insightful these are the stories you'll want to share with your friends. Author Biography: Bob Schieffer has been at CBS News since 1969 where he is one of the very few correspondents to have covered all four major Washington beats: the White House Pentagon State Department and Capitol Hill. He is now CBS's chief Washington correspondent and anchor and moderator of Face the Nation. Putnam Pub Group Hardcover

Queenan Joe
My Goodness: A Cynic's Short-lived Search for Sainthood
Hyperion Books 2000. 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 - Bright pages. 208 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. - Critic and bestselling author Joe Queenan had made a career of being vicious - then he decided to be nice. The result is a biting hilarious tale of a very bad man's attempts to be good. Years upon years of being unspeakably nasty to icons as diverse as Jimmy Carter Barbra Streisand and even Mother Nature herself had taken its toll on Joe Queenan. The man all editors turned to when they needed a book film or tv program savaged was tired of being so mean. He wanted to be more like Susan Sarandon. Or Sting. Determined to mend his ways Queenan embarked on the most difficult task of his career: he decided to become a nice person. Now available in paperback My Goodness is the side-splitting result of Queenan's attempted transformation: from his use of animal-friendly Body Shop goods to his letter of apology to Jackie Collins after a scathing review of her latest book; from his quest to save the whales to his quest to save Linda Tripp. Joe Queenan has written for the New York Times the Washington Post Spy the Wall Street Journal the New Republic Time Newsweek Rolling Stone and other publications. He is a contributing editor at GQ and Movieline. The author of four previous books including the bestseller Red Lobster White Trash and The Blue Lagoon he lives in Tarrytown New York. ". . . That as this thoroughly delightful and very smart book makes plain is very good for the reader's mental environment." Washington Post "The year's most sinfully rewarding guilty pleasure." New York Times Book Review. Hyperion Books Hardcover

From the Publisher From the best-selling author of Rubyfruit Jungle and Bingo here is a writers' manual as provocative frank and funny as her fiction. Unlike most writers' guides this one had as much to do with how writers live as with mastering the tools of their trade. Rita Mae Brown begins with a very personal account of her own career from her days as a young poet who had written a novel no publisher wanted to take a chance on right up to her recent adventures as a Hollywood screenwriter. In a sassy style that makes her outspoken advice as entertaining as it is useful she provides straight talk about paying the rent while maintaining the energy to write; and dealing with agents publishers critics and the publicity circus; about pursuingj ournalisim academia or screen-writing; and about rejecting the Hemingway myth of the hard-living hard-drinking genius. In addition Brown a former teacher or writing offers a serious examination of the writer's tool language plotting characters symbolism plus exercises to sharpen the ear for dialogue and a fascinating annoted reading list of important works from the seventh century to the late twentieth.
