New York. 1969. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st American Edition. Some Discoloration to Top Edge, Otherwise Very Good In Slightly Worn Dustjacket. Selected and edited by Sally and Robert Fitzgerald. 237 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Guy Fleming. FROM THE PUBLISHER - At her death in 1964 Flannery O’Connor left behind a body of unpublished essays and lectures, as well as a number of criti1cil articles that appeared in scattered publications during her lifetime. MYSTERY AND MANNERS presents selections from these two categories of her occasional prose, and is thus the first books of non-fiction by Flannery O’Connor. The contents were selected and edited by Sally and Robert Fitzgerald, whose lifelong friendship with the author originated at the start of her literary career. The book opens with ‘The King of the Birds.’ her famous account of raising peacocks at her home in Milledgeville, Georgia. There are three essays on regional writing, including The Fiction Writer and His Country’ and ‘Some Aspects of the Grotesque in Southern Fiction; three on the nature and aims of fiction, including ‘On Her Own Work; two on teaching literature, including Total Effect and the Eighth Grade; and four on the writer and religion, including ‘The Catholic Novelist in the Protestant South. The fourteenth and concluding piece is the long essay she wrote as an introduction to A Memoir of Mary Ann. As the editors point out, Flannery O’Connor felt that her principal calling was to write stories. On the other hand, she knew that those concentrations of experience and invention have their place in real contexts, literary, regional and religious, that could and should be examined and discussed. She had a gift for this, too. Her papers not only complement her stories but are valuable and seminal in themselves. The modest confidence with which she spoke was justified.. inventory #41440

London, United Kingdom: FABER & FABER, 2014. -. Paperback. New/-. -. At her death in 1964, O'Connor left behind a body of unpublished essays and lectures as well as a number of critical articles that had appeared in scattered publications during her too-short lifetime. The keen writings comprising Mystery and Manners, selected and edited by O'Connor's lifelong friends Sally and Robert Fitzgerald, are characterized by the directness and simplicity of the author's style, a fine-tuned wit, understated perspicacity, and profound faith. The book opens with "The King of the Birds," her famous account of raising peacocks at her home in Milledgeville, Georgia. Also included are: three essays on regional writing, including "The Fiction Writer and His Country" and "Some Aspects of the Grotesque in Southern Fiction"; two pieces on teaching literature, including "Total Effect and the 8th Grade"; and four articles concerning the writer and religion, including "The Catholic Novel in the Protestant South." Essays such as "The Nature and Aim of Fiction" and "Writing Short Stories" are widely seen as gems. This bold and brilliant essay-collection is a must for all readers, writers, and students of modern American literature. | 256 pages | 130 x 200 x 11mm | 200g.

Translated from the Icelandic by Bernard Scudder. 280 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph of birds and sky by Eugene Kuo. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Downtrodden Detective Erlendur and his team must once again investigate Reykjavik’s hidden past to unravel a case of human nastiness. Construction work in an expanding Reykjavik uncovers a shallow grave. Years before, this part of the city was all open hills, and Erlendur and his team hope this is a typical Icelandic missing person scenario; perhaps someone once lost in the snow, who has lain peacefully buried for decades. But things are never that simple. While Erlendur struggles to hold together the crumbling fragments of his own family, his case unearths many other tales of family pain. The hills have more than one tragic story to tell: tales of failed relationships and heartbreak; of anger, domestic violence and fear; of family loyalty and family shame. Few people are still alive who can tell the story, but even secrets taken to the grave cannot remain hidden forever. Alive with tension and atmosphere, and disturbingly real, this is an outstanding continuation of the Reykjavik Murder Mysteries. inventory #41611 ISBN: 0312340710.
