It is a place of intoxicating ambition passion art and discontent where louche jazz venues like the Chameleon Club draw expats artists libertines and parvenus looking to indulge their true selves. It is at the Chameleon where the striking Lou Villars an extraordinary athlete and scandalous cross-dressing lesbian finds refuge among the club's loyal denizens including the rising Hungarian photographer Gabor Tsenyi the socialite and art patron Baroness Lily de Rossignol and the caustic American writer Lionel Maine. As the years pass their fortunes--and the world itself--evolve. Lou falls desperately in love and finds success as a race car driver. Gabor builds his reputation with startlingly vivid and imaginative photographs including a haunting portrait of Lou and her lover which will resonate through all their lives. As the exuberant twenties give way to darker times Lou experiences another metamorphosis -- sparked by tumultuous events-- that will warp her earnest desire for love and approval into something far more.</p> HarperCollins Publishers and Blackstone Audio hardcover‎

The gift of her work to a reader is to create for us what she creates for her protagonist: the subtle unfolding the moment-by-moment process of discovery as we read and change from not knowing and even not wanting to know or care to seeing what we had not seen and finding our way to the light of the ending.â€â€”Amy Bloom New York Times Book Review"Depending on the light it’s either a very funny serious story or a very serious funny story. But no matter how you turn it The Vixen offers an illuminating reflection on the slippery nature of truth in America then and now."—Washington PostCritically acclaimed bestselling author Francine Prose returns with a dazzling new novel set in the glamorous world of 1950s New York publishing the story of a young man tasked with editing a steamy bodice-ripper based on the recent trial and execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg—an assignment that will reveal the true cost of entering that seductive dangerous new world. It’s 1953 and Simon Putnam a recent Harvard graduate newly hired by a distinguished New York publishing firm has entered a glittering world of three-martini lunches exclusive literary parties and old-money aristocrats in exquisitely tailored suits a far cry from his loving middle-class Jewish family in Coney Island.But Simon’s first assignment—editing The Vixen the Patriot and the Fanatic a lurid bodice-ripper improbably based on the recent trial and execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg a potboiler intended to shore up the firm’s failing finances—makes him question the cost of admission. Because Simon has a secret that at the height of the Red Scare and the McCarthy hearings he cannot reveal: his beloved mother was a childhood friend of Ethel Rosenberg’s. His parents mourn Ethel’s death.Simon’s dilemma grows thornier when he meets The Vixen’s author the startlingly beautiful reckless seductive Anya Partridge ensconced in her opium-scented boudoir in a luxury Hudson River mental asylum. As mysteries deepen as the confluence of sex money politics and power spirals out of Simon’s control he must face what he’s lost by exchanging the loving safety of his middle-class Jewish parents’ Coney Island apartment for the witty whiskey-soaked orbit of his charismatic boss the legendary Warren Landry. Gradually Simon realizes that the people around him are not what they seem that everyone is keeping secrets that ordinary events may conceal a diabolical plot—and that these crises may steer him toward a brighter future. At once domestic and political contemporary and historic funny and heartbreaking enlivened by surprising plot turns and passages from Anya’s hilariously bad novel The Vixen illuminates a period of history with eerily stri</p> Harper hardcover‎

The story is rooted in Jewish folklore about the Lamed-Vavniks—twenty-six righteous individuals whose collective virtue sustains the world. Through a compelling narrative Prose illustrates how ordinary acts of compassion and moral integrity contribute to the greater good often without recognition or fanfare. The story emphasizes that everyone has the potential to be a Lamed-Vavnik through small kind deeds demonstrating that even in modern times these hidden righteous individuals play a vital role in maintaining balance and harmony in the world. </p><p>This witty lively version of a Jewish legend features a humble shoemaker named Schmuel whose gift for making it rain puzzles the elders of the drought-afflicted town of Plotchnik until a rabbi has a very strange dream. </p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.

‎Tutta la gioia possibile. Saggi su Giorgio Manganelli‎

‎br. L'interpretazione critica dell'opera di Manganelli è assestata abbastanza stabilmente sulle categorie che l'autore stesso ha usato centinaia di volte per definire la sua idea di letteratura: menzogna, maschera, nulla, finzione. I saggi di questo volume, senza negare affatto la validità di quel quadro, vogliono costruire una strada di lettura diversa. Unendo il rigore dell'analisi con la quanto mai necessaria libertà di movimento e di pensiero, qui si cerca di rinvenire, o di costruire (e insomma: di inventare) un Manganelli che scrive nel nome di una pratica attiva della potenza e della gioia.‎

‎Più lontano ancora. Ediz. illustrata‎

‎ill., br. Nel Pacifico meridionale, a ottocento chilometri dalla costa del Cile, c'è un'isola vulcanica dalle inaccessibili pareti verticali, lunga undici chilometri e larga poco più di sei, popolata da milioni di uccelli marini e da nessun essere umano. Si chiama Masafuera, "più lontana". Spinto da quell'inquietudine che solo certi viaggi riescono a placare, Jonathan Franzen, qualche mese dopo l'uscita di "Libertà", decide di raggiungere Masafuera e trascorrervi alcuni giorni. Insieme a lui soltanto una tenda, un GPS presto inutile, una copia di Robinson Crusoe e le ceneri di un amico morto suicida. Nella solitudine, non priva di avventurose e quasi mortali complicazioni, Franzen farà i conti con ciò che lega l'isolamento e il romanzo (il genere che insegna "come stare soli"), la modernità tecnologica con la sua valanga di stimoli superflui e la noia quale passaggio indispensabile per trovare se stessi. Ma farà anche i conti con il lutto, la perdita e la necessità, dolorosa, di parlare con i propri fantasmi. Sia che raccontino di animali in pericolo e della minaccia che l'umanità rappresenta per la loro sopravvivenza, di come cellulari, Internet e social network trasformino i rapporti interpersonali, di amici o di maestri, le ventuno riflessioni che compongono "Più lontano ancora", non importa se in forma di saggio, ricordo autobiografico o reportage, affrontano tutte lo stesso problema di fondo: come rimanere umani.‎
