Katherine
by Anchee Min
In Anchee Min's first novel, a classroom of Chinese students have learned to keep their most private longings locked inside their hearts. Until the arrival of their strange new teacher--Katherine, the seductive American with the red lipstick and the wild laugh who teches them English and other foreign concepts--individualism, sensuality and the Beatles.
The Dying Animal
by Philip Roth
No matter how much you know, no matter how much you think, no matter how much you plot and you connive and you plan, you’re not superior to sex. With these words our most unflaggingly energetic and morally serious novelist launches perhaps his fiercest book. The speaker is David Kepesh, white-haired and over sixty, an eminent cultural critic and star lecturer at a New York college–as well as an articulate propagandist of the sexual revolution. For years he has made a practice of sleeping with adventurous female students while maintaining an aesthete’s critical distance. But now that distance has been annihilated. The agency of Kepesh’s undoing is Consuela Castillo, the decorous and humblingly beautiful 24-year-old daughter of Cuban exiles. When he becomes involved with her, Kepesh finds himself dragged–helplessly, bitterly, furiously–into the quagmire of sexual jealousy and loss. In chronicling this descent, Philip Roth performs a breathtaking set of variations on the themes of eros and mortality, license and repression, selfishness and sacrifice. The Dying Animal is a burning coal of a book, filled with intellectual heat and not a little danger.

An Honorable Profession
L'Heureux, John
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Viking Penguin, 1991 Hardcopy with tan paper-covered boards, black cloth spine, red printing on spine, is in FINE condition. Very minor rubbing to spine ends. Brodart-wrapped DJ, NOT price-clipped, is FINE as well. "I'm a weak man," Miles Bannon says, "and perhaps I'm stupid. Certainly I've done many foolish things. But I did not molest Billy Mack." Why, then are the police investigating him? Why do so many people think he's guilty? In "An Honorable Profession," John L'Heureux turns from the world of passion and obsession he explored in his best-selling "A Woman Run Mad" and sets us down in the crowded, ambiguous, middle-class world of Malburn High, where teaching is an honorable profession and where teachers' lives seem as simple and as honorable as the daily task they perform. They are smart, caring, ambitious men and women, they are likable and devoted teachers -- never mind that some of them have problems with alcohol and loneliness and the need for love, or what they think is love.. First Edition/First Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Tan Paper-Covered Boards. ( more information) Offered by Chozen Books (United States)
