Signed by author on full title page. "In Music for Torching, the controversial author of The End of Alice lays bare the foundations of marriage and family life at the end of the century. Flash-frozen in the anxious culture of a suburban subdivision, Paul and Elaine (the couple first featured in Homes's collection of stories The Saftey Objects) have two boys and a beautiful home, yet they find themselves thoroughly inexplicably stuck. Obsessed with "making things good again," they spin the quiet terrors of family life into fantastical frenzy that careens out of control, doing and saying all the things we dare not, throwing into full relief the chasm between our public and private selves. From a strange and hilarious encounter on the floor of the pantry with a Stepford-wife neighbor, to an ill-concieved plan for a tattoo, to a sexy town cop who shows up at every inopportuune moment, to house cleaning team in space suits, to a mistress calling on the cell phone, to a hostage situation at the school, Homes creates characters so outrageously flawed and deeply human that they are entirely believable. With Music For Torching, A.M. Homes brings her unnerving emotional intensity to the heart of America, creating a new and dangerous territory that is distinctly her own." Jacket covered in BrodArt. .

Long beofre my first trip with Nixon in 1972, I had formed a friendship with an amazing Polish-American, the Philadelphia industrialist Edward J. Piszek, born in the United States but a fanatic Polish patriot who had assisted his ancestors' motherland in so many ways that he had made himself almost a national hero. During the first half-dozen years of our acquaintanceship, I had had no active interst in visting Poland and certinaly no interest whatever in writing about it, but I had listened to his ramblihg accounts of life in Poland and the adventures of Polish history, and had become aware of things Polsh and his relationship to them. Perhaps it was his tales of Polish patriotism, plus my sense of geography, that inspired me to tell the television producers: 'I'll do the next segment in Poland,' but I can state that he was as amazed as them at my decision. Piszek arranged the American logistics of the vist described in this book and also arranged for the presence of our entourage of our mutual friend, the great baseball player Stan Musial, a fellow Pole. He also alerted another friend of our friends to the fact that we would be flying out of the Miami airport...." Jacket covered in BrodArt. . Important Signature. First Edition. Hard Cover.

Castillo is besieged on all sides by an outrageous collection of ideologues and slick operators: rapacious weapons contractors, hyperaggressive military honchos, desperately ambitious politicians, wildly generous bagmen, unbridled seducers of both sexes - and almost every other kind of flimflammer, screwball and bunko artist." .
