‎American Dreamers: Charmian And Jack London‎

‎NY: St. Martin's. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. 1988. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 0312021607 . In 1903 Jack London shocked the morals of his country when he left his wife and two young daughters for a spunky spinster five years his senior. A new breed of woman Charmian Kitteridge was notorious for daring to ride her horse astride and work in an office unlike proper women of the day. As his "Mate-Woman" Charmian contributed to Jack's accomplishments -- she was his editor transcriber confidante as well as the model for many of Jack's female characters. Together they overcame threats to their love that stemmed from Jack's alcoholism infidelities and illness. This is a compelling portrait that challenges the long held view of London as a rough hard-drinking womanizer and of Charmian as a passive childish dependent. Instead this is a love story and a fascinating portrait of a couple whose courage passion and vitality remain a model of love fulfilled. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 362 pages; 25476C .

‎PENINSULA OF LIES: A True Story Of Mysterious Birth And Taboo Love‎

‎New York NY U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. PENINSULA OF LIES is a nonfiction mystery set in haunting locales and peopled with fascinating characters that unwraps the enigma of a woman named Dawn Langley Simmons a British writer who lived in Charleston South Carolina during the 1960s and became the focus of one of the most unusual sexual scandals of the last century. Born in England sometime before World War II Dawn Langley Simmons began life as a boy named Gordon Langley Hall. Gordon was the son of servants at Sissinghurst Castle the estate of Vita Sackville-West where as a child he met Vita's lover Virginia Woolf. In his twenties Gordon made his way to New York where he became an author of society biographies and befriended such grandes dames as the actress Margaret Rutherford and the artist and heiress Isabel Whitney who left him a small fortune. The money allowed Gordon to buy a mansion in Charleston and fill it with period furniture providing a stage for him to entertain more great ladies and to climb the social ladder of the Southern gentry to its heights. However Gordon's world changed instantly in 1968 when at The Johns Hopkins Hospital he underwent one of the first sex-reassignment surgeries returning to Southern society and scandalizing Charleston as the new "Dawn" Langley Hall. Dawn Hall furthermore announced that her surgery had been corrective because she'd actually been misidentified as a boy at birth. Three months later Dawn raised the stakes in still-segregated Charleston when she arranged her very public marriage to a young black mechanic John-Paul Simmons. In due course Dawn appeared around town pregnant; finally she could be seen pushing a baby carriage with a child -- herdaughter Natasha. Edward Ball has written a detective story that deciphers the riddle of Dawn Simmons a once rich and infamous changeling who died in 2000 her sexual identity never determined.

‎Halberstam, David‎

‎Summer Of '49‎

‎Harper Perennial Modern Classics. Near Fine. 2002. Softcover. 0060007818 . The year was 1949 and a war-wearied nation turned from the battlefields to the ball fields in search of new heroes. It was a summer that marked the beginning of a sports rivalry unequaled in the annals of athletic competition. The awesome New York Yankees and the indomitable Boston Red Sox were fighting for supremacy of baseball's American League and an aging Joe DiMaggio and a brash headstrong hitting phenomenon named Ted Williams led their respective teams in a classic pennant duel of almost mythic proportions--one that would be decided in an explosive head-to-head confrontation on the last day of the season.With incredible skill passion and insight Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam returns us to that miraculous summer. And to a glorious time when the dreams of a now almost forgotten America rested on the crack of a bat. ; Perennial Classics Series; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 354 pages; 23705 .

‎Boston MA U.S.A.: Houghton Mifflin Company 1995. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page. Richard Rayner's first book of nonfiction LOS ANGELES WITHOUT A MAP was hailed by the New York Times as a classic. His second The Blue Suit is equally compelling and for its intensity and honesty deserves comparison with Geoffrey Wolff 's The Duke of Deception and Frank Conroy's Stop-Time. This is a story about the absence of identity. Rayner had a peripatetic childhood but it seemed he found some sense of place when he attended Cambridge University in the mid 1970s. Far from affording security however Cambridge - combined with the study of philosophy and an obsession with books - was the setting for the start of a bizarre life of crime. Mounting debts propelled the author into a series of frightening foolish and hilarious adventures. He plundered bookshops for elusive first editions forged checks broke into houses and acted as accomplice in a Keystone Kops-like . attempt to rob a local bank. Seventeen years later Rayner tries to come to terms with this long-buried nefario. As newfirst edition first printing in fine mylar-protected dust jacket.
