Schell Jonathan; Shawn William Preface
Observing the Nixon Years: "Notes and Comment" from the New Yorker on the Vietnam War and the Watergate Crisis 1969-1975
New York New York U.S.A.: Pantheon Books 1989. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. Stated First Edition. Near-fine condition. Small remainder mark on top. Inside-to-front dustcover flap has been clipped. Tight spine bright pages. NO tears inside book. Green boards with black spine/silver lettering clean and bright. ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's name and address blacked out in book front on blank page. 275 pages. From Publishers Weekly In this collection of more than 100 pieces New Yorker writer Schell analyzes and interrelates the conduct of the war in Vietnam the Nixon administration's Southeast Asian policy and Watergate. Remarkable in penetration and with prophetic insight the articles culled from the "Notes and Comment" section of the magazine reflect broodingly upon the major issues of that era including the administration's attempts to intimidate the press and the threat to the Constitution on the part of President Nixon Vice-President Spiro Agnew and Attorney-General John Mitchell. In well-crafted prose the essays convey with stirring eloquence a growing alarm over "the inverted moral order" that prevailed in the Nixon White House. Shawn New Yorker former editor rightly notes in the preface that the pieces constitute "not only an incomparable political document but also a literary work that will endure." Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information Inc. From Library Journal In content and coverage this collection of columns by this former New Yorker writer is almost identical to his The Time of Illusion Knopf 1976. Undoubtedly they were the original sources for that book. The columns have worn better than the book; they give the reader a taste of the heat of those turbulent years. Schell's lucid yet passionate criticisms of the conduct of the U.S. war in Vietnam and the misdeeds of the Nixon administration are based on what he felt were threats to both the constitutional process with Nixon going above the law and the integrity of language the government only caring that their press communications were credible if not truthful. His columns are a model of informed dissent in a democratic system. - Carl A. Trocki Georgetown Univ. Washington D.C. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information Inc. Pantheon Books Hardcover

The Pushcart Prize XX: Best of the Small Presses 1996
Pushcart Press 1996. Book. Very Good. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. Very-good clean copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Covers are clean NO tears. 570 pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine clean pages. Synopsis The most honored literary series in America celebrates two decades of continuous publication. Library Journal: America's small presses are strong diverse and vibrant even more so than one might guess from this flagship compilation that in its 20th year is showing some signs of tired blood. The fiction tends to be very strong particularly stories by Maxine Kumin Charles Baxter Don DeLillo Alice Schell Nora Cobb Keller Eileen Pollack Rick Moody and Stephen Dobyns. While poems by Marilyn Chin Linda Bierds Dennis Simpson Cyrus Cassells Alberto Rios Sandra McPherson Galway Kinnell and A.R. Ammons are all of the highest order many others are blandly prosaic. Kinnell's pithy question to a Dickinson scholar "Why not first try listening to her" might also be directed to the poetry editors. The poor quality of works by Joyce Carol Oates John Barth John Updike and Grace Paley and the exclusion of flash fiction performance poetry cyberpunk or fantasy provide evidence that even the small press has an old boys and girls network. Although this is not the watershed anthology one might hope for the pluses far outweigh the minuses. Recommended for public and academic libraries.-Jim Dwyer California State Univ. Lib. Chico Biography: Bill Henderson is the founder and editor of the Pushcart Prize. He received the 2006 National Book Critic Circle's Lifetime Achievement Award and the Poets & Writers / Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award. He lives in Wainscott New York.

Gallant Mavis
Across the Bridge: New Stories
Toronto ON Canada: McClelland & Stewart 1993. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $23.99. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 198 pages. Synopsis A new collection of stories by Mavis Gallant is always a major publishing event. For this is the writer who like Margaret Atwood and Alice Munro has made Canadian short stories a presence on the world literary scene and on our bestseller lists. In Across the Bridge four of the eleven stories are connected following the fortunes of the Carette family in Montreal. In 1933 their widowed mother teaches Berthe and Marie to deny that she was a seamstress and to say instead that she was clever with her hands. In The Chosen Husband the luckless suitor Louis has to undergo the front-parlour scrutiny of Marie's mother and sister: But then Louis began to cough and had to cover his mouth. He was in trouble with a caramel. The Carettes looked away so that he could strangle unobserved. 'How dark it is' said Berthe to let him think he could not be seen. We then follow their marriage the birth of Raymond and Raymond's flight from his mother and aunt to his eventual role as a motel manager in Florida. 'The place was full of Canadians' he said. 'They stole like raccoons.' With the exception of The Fenton Child an eerie story set in postwar Montreal the other stories take place in the Paris Mavis Gallant knows so well. Across the Bridge the title story begins with the narrator's mother throwing her reluctant daughter's wedding invitations into the Seine. I watched the envelopes fall in a slow shower and land on the dark water and float apart. Strangers leaned on the parapet andstared too but nobody spoke. This is a superb collection of stories by a writer at the top of her form. McClelland & Stewart Hardcover

Goldberg Bernard
Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News
Washington D.C. U.S.A.: Regnery Publishing 2002. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $27.95 - NO writing marks or tears - Tight spine - Bright pages - 232 pages. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Think the media are biased CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN crying foul for years but now a veteran CBS reporter has come forward to expose how liberal bias pervades the mainstream media. Even if you've suspected your nightly news is slanted to the left it's far worse than you think. Breaking ranks and naming names Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist Bernard Goldberg reveals a corporate news culture in which the close-mindedness is breathtaking journalistic integrity has been pawned to liberal opinion and "entertainment" trumps hard news every time. In his three decades at CBS Goldberg repeatedly voiced his concerns to network executives about the often one-sided nature of the news coverage. But no one listened to his complaints-or if they did listen they did nothing about the problem. Finally Goldberg had no choice but to blow the whistle on his own industry to break the code of silence that pervades the news business. Bias is the result. As the author reveals "liberal bias" doesn't mean simply being hard on Republicans and easy on Democrats. Real media bias is the result of how those in the media see the world-and their bias directly affects how we all see the world. In Bias you'll learn: How on issues ranging from homelessness to AIDS reporters have simply regurgitated the propaganda of pressure groups they favor to the detriment of honest reporting The Peter Jennings test for classifying politicians-and how all the networks do it The network color bar-why so many "victims" on network news stories are blond-haired blue-eyed and middle class How one high-level CBS News executive told Goldberg that of course the networks tilt left-but in the next breath said he'd deny that statement if Goldberg ever went public One of the biggest stories of our time-and why you probably didn't hear about it on the evening news How political correctness in network newsrooms puts "sensitivity" ahead of facts The real Dan Rather-a man who regards criticism of liberal bias as treason. If you ever suspected the network news was shortchanging the truth Goldberg will not only prove you right he'll give you a glimpse of just how it's done and how fairness balance and integrity have disappeared from network television. SYNOPSIS IN HIS NEARLY thirty years at CBS News Emmy Award- winner Bernard Goldberg earned a reputation as one of the preeminent reporters in the television news business. When he looked at his own industry however he saw that the media far too often ignored their primary mission: objective disinterested reporting. Again and again he saw that they slanted the news to the left. For years Goldberg appealed to reporters producers and network executives for more balanced reporting but no one listened. The liberal bias continued. Now in Bias he blows the whistle on the news business showing exactly how the media slant their coverage while insisting that they're just reporting the facts.

Safire William
Language Maven Strikes Again
New York New York U.S.A.: Doubleday 1990. Book. Very Good . Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-good clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $22.95. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. 448 pages. Publishers Weekly In this sixth collection of his syndicated ``On Language'' columns Safire deals wittily playfully and above all instructively with thorny linguistic issues. He takes to task writers who use the passive voice elitists who grimly stick to ``dicta'' and ``memoranda'' despite the general preference for ``-ums'' and groups who declare themselves offended by the use of certain words such as ``tribes''. The lordly language maven discusses the proper use of ``his/hers/theirs'' the pronunciation of ``vagaries'' the naming of pets and perfumes the difficulty of pinning down a definition of ``secular humanism.'' As in previous collections Safire includes articulate and ornery responses from the Gotcha! Gang the Nitpickers League and such individuals as Jacques Barzun Daniel Moynihan and Art Buchwald.

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.

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.

Fiction Writer's Workshop
Cincinnati Ohio: Story Press 1995. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-new condition. Rust-orange boards with gilt lettering clean and bright. NO remainder marks or clippings. 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. Fiction Writer's Workshop gives you clear firsthand understanding of the elements of fiction . . . so you can make more informed choices and your fiction more successful. - Table of Contents Introduction1 1Sources of Fiction: Where and How to Find Material5 2Setting: Evoking a Vivid Sense of Place and Time25 3Character: Inventing Fictional People48 4Plot: Strategies of Organization and Structure71 5Point of View: Selecting the Best Viewpoint99 6Dialogue and Scene: Handling Dramatic Action127 7Beginnings and Endings: Options and Techniques for Opening and Closing151 8Description and Word Choice: Choosing Effective Details Matters of Style177 9Voice: Finding the Narrative Voice Creating the Voices of Characters200 10Revision: Transforming the First Draft into Finished Polished Fiction225.

Sherr Lynn
Outside the Box: A Memoir
Rodale Press 2006. Book. As New. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. New / Unread condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. 360 pages. 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.
