The Last Party
by Adele Mailer
Life Among the Savages
by Shirley Jackson
One of America's most celebrated writers takes you home to a family and a small town so funny and unpredictable, you'd wish it were your own. "As warm as it is hilarious and believable . . . Never has the state of domestic chaos been so perfectly illuminated".--"The New York Times Book Review".
Burning the Days
by James Salter
In this brilliant book of recollection, one of Americas finest writers re-creates people, places, and events spanning some fifty years, bringing to life an entire era through one mans sensibility. Scenes of love and desire, friendship, ambition, life in foreign cities and New York, are unforgettably rendered here in the unique style for which James Salter is widely admired.Burning the Days captures a singular life, beginning with a Manhattan boyhood and then, satisfying his fathers wishes, graduation from West Point, followed by service in the Air Force as a pilot. In some of the most evocative pages ever written about flying, Salter describes the exhilaration and terror of combat as a fighter pilot in the Korean War, scenes that are balanced by haunting pages of love and a young mans passion for women.After resigning from the Air Force, Salter begins a second life, becoming a writer in the New York of the 1960s. Soon films beckon. There are vivid portraits of actors, directors, and producers--Polanski, Robert Redford, and others. Here also, more important, are writers who were influential, some by their character, like Irwin Shaw, others because of their taste and knowledge.Ultimately Burning the Days is an illumination of what it is to be a man, and what it means to become a writer.Only once in a long while--Vladimir Nabokovs Speak, Memory or Isak Dinesens Out of Africa--does a memoir of such extraordinary clarity and power appear. Unconventional in form, Burning the Days is a stunning achievement by the writer The Washington Post Book World said "inhabits the same rarefied heights as Flannery O'Connor, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams and John Cheever" --a rare and unforgettable book.
Speak, Memory
by Vladimir Nabokov
A rich evocation of Nabokov's life and times, even as it offers incisive insights into his major works, including LOLITA, PNIN, DESPAIR, THE GIFT and others.

Hammett:A Life At The Edge
NOLAN, WILLIAM F
New York. 1983. Congdon & Weed. 1st Edition. Very Good In Dustjacket. pages: 276 pages. Cover: Jacket illustration by Bill Nelson. Jacket design by Krystyna Skalski. keywords: Mystery Biography Dashiell Hammett America. ISBN: 0312922817. Fourteen years ago, William Nolan wrote the first book about Dashiell Hammett, the master of modern detective fiction, author of THE MALTESE FALCON, THE THIN MAN, and other classics of the genre. Mr. Nolan’s prize-winning book helped launch the serious study of Hammett as an important American novelist. Now, after years of delving, he offers a full biography. HAMMETT: A LIFE AT THE EDGE goes considerably beyond Lillian Hellman’s well-known accounts of her time with Hammett. From fresh sources it tells of his colorful early years, before Hellman, including his sleuthing days as a Pinkerton man assigned to famous cases such as the Fatty Arbuckle scandal. Drawing on a long interview with Hammett’s ex-wife, it depicts their love affair in an Army tubercular ward, their struggle to make ends meet, Hammett’s early attempts to find his vocation. Mr. Nolan chronicles Hammett’s development from a pulp magazine writer (for H.L. Mencken’s Black Mask magazine) to the foremost detective-story author of his time. He gives us Hammett’s wild years in literary New York and the Hollywood film world - the starlets, the drinking pals (Faulkner, Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur), the unpaid limo bills. He portrays the pyrotechnic yet sustaining relationship with Hellman, taking her perspectives into account but reaching out to those of others. The book discusses the Hammett myths - that he was a Communist . . a dupe . . that he abandoned his career. In fact, as Mr. Nolan shows, Hammett never ceased trying to finish another novel. From these pages comes an atmospheric portrait of turbulent times - the thirties, the forties, the sad and sinister fifties. Throughout, Dashiell Hammett is the benchmark of character—intensely honest, true to his vision, courageous as well as self-destructive. He emerges as not only a stunningly original writer but the personification of American individuality. WILLIAM F. NOLAN is the author of several biographies, novels (including LOGAN’S RUN), and other books, as well as many motion-picture and television screenplays. His DASHIELL HAMMETT: A CASEBOOK - called ‘authoritative and invaluable’ by the Los Angeles Times - won the Edgar Allan Poe Special Award. keywords: Mystery Biography Dashiell Hammett America. inventory # 5872. ISBN: 0312922817. ( more information) Offered by Zeno's (United States)
