1999ref. 2349166New York: Simon & Schuster 1999. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x1x10. First edition. An excellent copy. 1999 Hard Cover. 348 pp. In his critically acclaimed Rewrites Neil Simon talked about his beginnings -- his early years of working in television his first real love his first play his first brush with failure and most moving of all his first great loss. Simon's same willingness to open his heart to the reader permeates The Play Goes On. This second act takes the reader from the mid-1970s to the present a period in which Simon wrote some of his most popular and critically acclaimed plays including the Brighton Beach trilogy and Lost in Yonkers for which he won the Pulitzer Prize. Simon experienced enormous professional success during this time but in his personal life he struggled to find that same sense of happiness and satisfaction. After the death of his first wife he and his two young daughters left New York for Hollywood. There he remarried and when that foundered he remarried again. Told with his characteristic humor and unflinching sense of irony The Play Goes On is rich with stories of how Simon's art came to imitate his life. Simon's forty-plus plays make up a body of work that is a long-running memoir in its own right yet here in a deeper and more personal book than his first volume Simon offers a revealing look at an artist in crisis but still able and willing to laugh at himself.

A couple tiny spots to jacket reverse otherwise an excellent copy. 2003 Hard Cover. xvi 416 pp. "Simon Winchester New York Times bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman examines the legendary annihilation in 1883 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa which was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly forty thousand people. The effects of the immense waves were felt as far away as France. Barometers in Bogota and Washington D.C. went haywire. Bodies were washed up in Zanzibar. The sound of the island's destruction was heard in Australia and India and on islands thousands of miles away. Most significant of all -- in view of today's new political climate -- the eruption helped to trigger in Java a wave of murderous anti-Western militancy among fundamentalist Muslims one of the first outbreaks of Islamic-inspired killings anywhere. Krakatoa gives us an entirely new perspective on this fascinating and iconic event. Harper Collins hardcover books
