New York: Scribner, 2005. First Edition. Fine. Octavo (24 cm.) 288 pp.<br/> Half-cloth, slate-blue boards, and light grey spine with titles in silver. Pictorial dust jacket with photo of whispering children. "Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." - Tolstoy<br/> Jeannette Walls is the archetype of the writer who took a childhood of lemons and made lemonade. Walls' portrait of her family is as one would paint a sublimely, beautiful ruin. As her parents struggled to define themselves through art, through increasingly challenging experiences, constantly beating against conformity, Jeanette and her three siblings often had to fend for themselves. Strange, lovely, sad and funny. It gets the Tolstoy stamp of approval.<br/> Zempel 231.

Dust jacket has edge wear and creasing, dust shadow and light soiling on rear cover, tears at top edge, price clipped. Blue-gray cloth, with titles stamped in maroon on spine.In Let It Come Down, Paul Bowles plots the doomed trajectory of Nelson Dyar, a New York bank teller who comes to Tangier in search of a different life and ends up giving in to his darkest impulses. Rich in descriptions of the corruption and decadence of the International Zone in the last days before Moroccan independence, Bowles's second novel is an alternately comic and horrific account of a descent into nihilism.

The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1959. Book. Illus. by Sam March (dust jacket design). Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. Small octavo. Humes's second novel, following 'The Underground City,' both of which led to his being considered by Esquire magazine as having the same promise as two obscure guys named Updike and Styron (whoever they are). Anyway, he met a guy named Leary who introduced him to a little substance known as LSD, and after seriously indulging his fondness for the hallucinogen he became a trifle paranoid and a bit delusional, which pretty much ended his writing career. Humes was co-founder (with Peter Matthiessen and George Plimpton) of The Paris Review. He died of prostate cancer in 1992. Black cloth w/gilt lettering, 184 pages. Mildly cocked, light general wear, in price-clipped dust jacket w/light rubbing, light edgewear, creases to fore-edges of both flaps..
