Thunderball first edition7/7/2023 we have a remarkably unflinching portrait of Ian Fleming's time on the island in 1949-51, the years immediately preceding his marriage to Ann and the simultaneous launch of James Bond. Set on the fictional island of Samolo - a close match for Jamaica - it concerns the secret relationship between the aristocratic Eloise and her lover, Bunny, whose character mirrors Fleming's almost exactly. The inscription refers to Noël Coward's first and only novel, Pomp and Circumstance (1960), at the centre of which is a thinly-veiled account of Fleming's affair with Ann. Inscribed by the author "To Noël, In exchange for the copy of P & C he didn't send me! With love Ian" on the front free endpaper. Minor stain to a small portion of the front panel, short closed tear to the foot of the rear panel, extremities very slightly rubbed else a near-fine and bright jacket. With first issue dust jacket (priced at 15s.) Head and foot of spine very slightly bumped a fine copy. Original dark grey boards, spine lettered in gilt, skeletal hand motif blocked on the front cover in blind (Gilbert's A binding). First edition, first impression, presentation copy.

There was an old lady simms taback7/6/2023 The old lady has bloodshot eyes throughout the book indicating she is crazy and her dress is black and has colorful dots painted all over her dress. The image that stood out the most was the image of the old lady herself as she is the most surrealistic looking character in the entire book. Simms Taback also does a superb job at illustrating this book as he makes each character look surreal. Simms Taback also brings some attitude to the story as he makes it seem like what the old lady is doing is absurd, such as how he stated that it was absurd how the old lady swallowed a bird. Simms Taback has done an excellent job at writing this story as it sounds upbeat and is creative, especially when he states about why the old lady swallow one animal after the other. This book is full of silly fun, but smaller children might want to watch out for the disturbing ending. This book is about how an old lady manages to swallow every animal that comes in her path for no reason, until she goes a bit too far towards the end. “There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” is a silly lyrical book rewritten from a 1940s American folk poem by Simms Taback and is a Caldecott Honor Book.

Eden, Eden, Eden by Pierre Guyotat7/6/2023 Unlike Guyotat's other works, which deploy the sustained and taxing invention of an altogether other language-and another reality beyond any notion of morality- In the Deep is written in an almost classical language, borrowing its timeless rhythmic prose from Latin syntax, and riddled with interrogatives that are part of a French tradition harking back to Rabelais. In the Deep leads us through the foundations of Guyotat's infamous “beat-sheet”: the masturbatory writing practice that caused a scandal in the 1970s when he first disclosed it, and which-although he has since disowned it-remains fundamental to any understanding of Guyotat's oeuvre. Faced with his faith's failure, he feels the need to invent another one-one much darker and conflicted-which he believes will be his destiny. To read it is to inhabit the life of an adolescent boy who is just discovering his calling to write, while also tormented by the questions left unanswered by his Catholic upbringing. In my body almost deadened to stupidity by its growing length, I am carrying that destiny.Ī hypnotic account of three days and nights plucked from the summer of 1955, In the Deep maps the origins, development, and meaning of Pierre Guyotat's creative vocation. I believe that destiny is the hesitation between whorehouse writing and poetry, Evil and Good. An autobiographical incantation of adolescent shame, religious masturbation, and the salvation embodied in the creative act. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic, and its citizens valued free trade, individual rights, and religious freedom. The Dutch colony pre-dated the "original" thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Drawing on this remarkable archive, Russell Shorto has created a gripping narrative-a story of global sweep centered on a wilderness called Manhattan-that transforms our understanding of early America. But the story of the Dutch colony of New Netherland was merely lost, not destroyed: 12,000 pages of its records-recently declared a national treasure-are now being translated. When the British wrested New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the truth about its thriving, polyglot society began to disappear into myths about an island purchased for 24 dollars and a cartoonish peg-legged governor. The garden of evil book7/5/2023 For Capote, the murder in a small Kansas town was about the interlopers like himself. The disconnect that exists between the personality of the writer and the personality of the community in which the notorious murder took place becomes an issue which becomes part of the fabric of the larger narrative.īut whereas both In Cold Blood and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil are both semi-journalistic investigative reportage into the murderous nightmares insinuating their way into the respective communities, Berendt’s account diverges in a significant manner from Capote’s non-fictional novel primarily by virtue of his focus of interest moving in the opposite direction from that which gripped Capote. And, like Truman Capote, that meta-narrative is also impacted by the fact that the writer who has come to tell the tale is viewed as a cultural interloper. Like Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good of Evil not only deals with the recounting of a genuine and notorious true-life crime story, it also serves to situate its author into the narrative of that crime story.

The road by cormac mccarthy7/5/2023 McCarthy’s editor at Knopf, Jenny Jackson, told the New York Times: “It’s a format for Cormac to allow Alicia to explore her obsessions, which from what I can tell happen to be Cormac’s obsessions. “I will never be competent enough to do so, but at some point you have to try.” “I was planning on writing about a woman for 50 years,” McCarthy told the Wall Street Journal in a 2009 interview. The 200-page novel, out on 22 November, follows Bobby’s sister Alicia, “a math prodigy whose intellect frightens people and whose hallucinations appear as characters, with their own distinct voices”. Stella Maris marks the first time McCarthy has focused on a female protagonist. The 400-page novel has “the pace and twists of a thriller” as Bobby is drawn into the mystery of the crash. He discovers that the black box, the pilot’s bag and one of the dead passengers are all missing. The Passenger, published on 25 October, opens as Bobby, a salvage diver working on the Gulf Coast in 1980, explores the wreckage of a sunken jet. McCarthy had delivered a full draft of one of the novels to his editors eight years ago, kept secret at the publishing house. On Tuesday evening, US publisher Knopf revealed McCarthy had the two books coming in 2022. |
