That Is (The New York Times Book Review). Twenty-year-old Yale dropout Phillip Dean is traveling Europe aimlessly in a borrowed car with little money. When he stops for a few days in a church-quiet town near Dijon, he meets Anne-Marie Costallat, a young shop assistant. The two begin an affair both carnal and innocent, and she quickly becomes to him the real France, its beating heart and an object of pure longing. James Salter, author of Light Years and the memoir Burning the Days, was an essential voice in the evolution of late twentieth-century prose, a stylist on par with Updike and Roth who won the PEN/Faulkner Award for his collection Dusk and Other Stories. One of the first great American novels to speak frankly of human desire free of guilt and shame, A Sport and a Pastime inspired Reynolds Price to call it &“as nearly perfect as any American fiction I know.&” This ebook edition features an illustrated biography of James Salter including rare photos from the author&’s personal collection.Love Life: A Novel (Books That Changed the World)
Par Zeruya Shalev. 2001
Israel’s provocative #1 bestseller from the author of Pain. In “a hybrid–Last Tango in Paris meets Story of O . . .…
Shalev deconstructs sexual longing” (Darcey Steinke, author of Flash Count Diary).Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as a novel that “broke all the barriers . . . sexually explicit yet dense with biblical allusions and psychological insight,” Love Life unbuttoned Hebrew literature and spent four months as Israel’s number one bestseller. What begins as a story of a young married woman’s turbulent affair with an older man rapidly devolves into a feverish, lyrical crash course in the anatomy of obsession. When Yaara meets Aryeh, her father’s boyhood friend, she is instantly drawn to his impassive and archly assured presence. It is not long before she forsakes her devoted and well-meaning husband for the powerful, mysterious older man who seems to embody all that she lacks: will, strength, and the key to her parents’ inaccessible pasts. They embark on a heated affair that soon spirals toward the destructive as Yaara finds that the things in Aryeh that attract her also repel her with equal intensity. With shocking immediacy, Shalev lays bare Yaara’s struggle to navigate extreme terrain ranging from the sublime to the grotesque, the sacred to the profane, the liberating to the all-consuming. Love Life is cerebral, seductive, provocative, and profound.“Shalev . . . outdoes Erica Jong with outrageously sensuous, often humiliating situations described by a narrator who acts as if she has lost her sanity while commenting wryly, even perceptively, on her own misdeeds.”—Publishers Weekly“Love Life is a lucid feverish dream . . . disturbingly brilliant.”—Tubantia (Holland)Budayeen Nights: Stories
Par George Alec Effinger. 2003
A &“brilliant collection&” of short stories set in a &“marvelously realized, imaginary Muslim city&” from the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning…
author (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Long identified as a science fiction writer, except in his own eyes, George Alec Effinger had some of his biggest critical and commercial success with a series even he recognized and characterized as SF. Set in the marvelously realized, imaginary Muslim city of Budayeen, the three novels, When Gravity Fails, A Fire in the Sun and The Exile Kiss garnered rave reviews, award nominations and a wide readership. In addition, Effinger came to be recognized as one of the foundational writers of cyberpunk. Although the novels are perhaps how Budayeen and their hero, Marid Audran, are best known, there are a handful of shorter pieces that add to the vividly drawn and deeply authentic picture of an imagined world and seven short stories, the first part of an uncompleted novel and a story fragment add to the mental images of this exotic and yet somehow completely familiar city and world that Effinger created. This book was originally published by Golden Gryphon Press and comes with a Forword and story notes by Effinger's widow, Barbara Hambly. The lead story in this collection, "Schrodinger's Kitten," won the Hugo, Nebula and Seiun Awards.Lovers and Liars: Lovers And Liars; Danger Zones; Sextet (The Lovers and Liars Trilogy #1)
