Description:
New York: Random House, 1997 Book. New. Hardcover. BCE. "Bad Chemistry" poses an unsettling question: How much do we really know about the people we love -- or about ourselves? Kate Theodorus used to be a cop in Chicago. Eager to escape the ugliness and violence of police work, she moved to Washington, D.C., to create a new life for herself as a social worker. There she married Joel Baker, a successful entrepreneur whose edgy nonconformism -- so different from the conservatism of her overprotective family of Greek cops -- seemed to mesh perfectly with her new conception of herself. Three years later, on a snowy November night, Joel leaves the house to pick up some groceries. He never returns. Kate embarks on a search for her husband -- and for the truth about the parts of his life that he has hidden from her. When the police unearth evidence connecting Joel to illegal drug trafficking and a murdered biochemist, Kate finds herself thrust back into the familiar world of clues, surveillance,… Read More

Description:
Toronto: Knopf Canada, 2002 Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st Canadian Edition.. 'I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974."Middlesex is the story of Cal or Calliope Stephanides, a comic epic of a family's American life, and the expansive history of a gene travelling down through time, starting with a rare genetic mutation. In 1922, Desdemona and Eleutherios ("Lefty") Stephanides, brother and sister, leave the war-ravaged village of Bithynios in Asia Minor. With their parents dead and their village almost empty, Desdemona and Lefty have gradually been drawn closer together and fallen in love. As the Turks invade and the Greeks abandon the port of Smyrna, Lefty and Desdemona -- Callie's grandparents -- escape to reinvent themselves as a married couple in America. Jeffrey Eugenides recounts the Stephanides family's… Read More

Description:
New York: Doubleday, 1979 Book. Very Good +. Hardcover. 1st.US Edition.. In 1919 Nick Dandolos arrived in Chicago from Greece, pursuing the American dream. Instead, tempted into a high-stakes game of cards, he is driven to humiliation and defeat. From these depths he begins his painstaking mastery of the skills of gambling under the tutelage of the crafty old gambler, Nestor, who says, "If God wished to learn to gamble, he would come to me."Wreaking vengeance on the powerful gangsters who had beaten him, Nick begins a meteoric ascent that carries him through no-limit games with kings and tycoons, and, finally, gains for himself legendary status as "Nick the Greek." 302P..

Description:
New York: Houghton Mifflin & Co., 1947 Book. Illus. by George Demetrios. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st.US Edition.. Collection of charming illustrated short stories by Greek American writer and artist (born in Macedonia 1896) reflecting the characters, folklore and events he remembered from the Greek villages of his youth. "Greece has sent its young men into all parts of the world; but whether pig-herding in Macedonia, waitering in an aristocratic cafe in Constantinople, or washing dishes or professoring in Boston, a Greek remains a Greek. George Demetrios is such a remembering Greek. With the sure wisdom of an economical drawing pencil and magic freshness of word, he has evoked unforgettably the Greek landscape and psyche. In twenty-five drawings and stories, small masterpieces all, he has made real as the fingers on your hand a few scoundrels and more credibly good people than you are likely to run into soon again." 245p. illus.Text neat and complete, paper slightly age-toned DJ repaired… Read More
