MAHONEY ROSEMARY
Down The Nile: Alone In A Fisherman's Skiff
Back Bay Books / Little Brown New York: 2007. Softcover. Brand new book. When Rosemary Mahoney took a solo trip down the Nile in a seven-foot rowboat she discovered modern Egypt for herself. As a rower she faced crocodiles and testy river currents; as a female she confronted deeply held beliefs about foreign women while cautiously remaining open to genuine friendship; and as a traveler she experienced events that ranged from the humorous to the hair-raising -- including an encounter that began as one of the most frightening of her life and ended as a chastising lesson in cultural misunderstanding. "Gorgeously vivid . . . utterly engrossing." -- The New York Times Book Review Back Bay Books / Little Brown, New York: 2007 paperback

REGIER WILLIS GOTH
Book Of The Sphinx
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London: 2007. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Sought the Sphinx seems everywhere whether the guardian of the pyramids on Egypt's Giza plateau or the beautiful man-eater with a deadly riddle to be approached with awful caution. The Sphinx that icon painted sculpted engraved and exalted in poetry fiction and music so impressed the philosopher Hegel that he pronounced the creature "the symbol of the symbolic itself." With a wealth of illustrations Book of the Sphinx confirms Hegel's lofty judgment finding the Sphinx everywhere: in tragedies paintings opera murder mysteries brothels bars and advertisements. Pursuing the Sphinx through kaleidoscopic sightings and encyclopedic observations Willis Goth Regier plumbs the symbol's mysteries conducting the reader down ever more perplexing and intriguing paths. Wonderfully readable his highly idiosyncratic tour of the ages and the arts leads at last to a conception of the Sphinx that embraces nothing less than all that is unknowable�proving once again that confronting a Sphinx is one of the most dangerous and exhilarating adventures of the imagination. Willis Goth Regier has pursued Sphinxes at the University of Nebraska Johns Hopkins University and Harvard University. He now seeks Sphinxes at the University of Illinois. "Delightful. . . . A grab bag treasure trove and star chart of the mythic monster's whereabouts in art religion history and literature with the winks nods footnotes bird trills and memory-bank shots of a scholar so intimately at home that he seems like his subject to be playing with his food. The illustrations are as sly as the text."�John Leonard Harper's "Idiosyncratic fun and poetic."�Joshua Glenn Boston Sunday Globe "This impressive book based on solid scholarship lightly worn playfully tracks the Sphinx through history art literature and illustration and is likely to produce a wave of Sphinxophilia. . . . Regier is an unrivaled guide."�ForeWord Magazine "Regier offers here an erudite account of appearances of the Sphinx. . . . So intimate is Regier's familiarity with the Sphinx that this reviewer would be astonished if he missed even one reference to this remarkable composite monster. An added joy is Regier's light and witty tone and his engaging prose which frequently rises to the level of poetry."�Choice "From ancient art to contemporary popular music Regier ranges widely in exploring the meaning of the enigmatic image of the sphinx. . . . A compelling book about an engaging subject."�Booklist "A very accomplished well-written book. Book of the Sphinx is immensely erudite with a wealth of references from all historical periods from ancient Egypt to modern times and from the most diverse realms."�Jonathan Culler the author of Structuralist Poetics: Structuralism Linguistics and the Study of Literature "A successfully playful work of nonfiction that situates itself in the academic landscape somewhere between cultural history and comparative literature Sphinx is both scholarly and imaginative�. Every good library should have it and so should every coffee table."�Joshua T. Katz American Journal of Archaeology "Book of the Sphinx is a delight. Willis Regier is not only very learned but also creative in making fiction even poetry out of the myth of the Sphinx and the histories of that myth. His own retellings are artful and compelling."�Gregory Nagy author of Plato's Rhapsody and Homer's Music: The Poetics of the Panathenaic Festival in Classical Athens 2005 Outstanding Academic Book sponsored by Choice Magazine selection University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2007 hardcover
