The Black Veilby Rick MoodyISBN 0316578991 (0-316-57899-1)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Black Veil'Book summary:Readers and critics of Rick Moody generally praise the long and lyrical sentences, sarcastic wit, and meandering asides typical of his misunderstood but sensitive protagonists. For Moody fans who have come to appreciate the Holden Caulfieldesque pathos beneath the sense of urgency and big vocabulary in books like The Ice Storm and Demonology, his memoir The Black Veil will offer more of the same. What's different, however, is that this time the protagonist is Moody himself. The book, subtitled A Memoir with Digressions, reads at times like a delicious essay collection outlining Moody's Connecticut childhood (complete with recipes for the perfect lobster roll and significance of the wax bean), and at times like a work of passionate literary criticism. But whether Moody discusses the impact of his parents' divorce, his alcoholic excesses in college and Manhattan, his time at an inpatient psychiatric unit, or his obvious passion for literature, his memoir does what so many current works in this genre do not: it shows the author looking beyond himself, through literature, to a world larger and more spiritual than the one in which he lives.
The titular black veil refers to a Hawthorne story (appended) about a New England minister Moody believes may be a relative. Moody's book is not so much about his quest to research the story of the black veil, despite the trek he makes to Maine to do just that, as it is the account of his personal relationship to that story. While die-hard Moody fans may find the book a surprising departure, those who want to know him more intimately will enjoy accompanying him on this personal and intellectual journey. --Jane Hodges [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Cold War: An Illustrated History, 1945-1991'Book summary:Beautifully designed and illustrated with hundreds of photographs, this companion volume to the CNN documentary series begins with the roots of the cold war: the military intervention by six nations (including the United States) in the Bolshevik's 1917 Russian Revolution. The book then takes on the cold war proper, from the post-WWII rise of the Iron Curtain to the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet government in the early '90s. "For forty-five years," the authors write, "the peoples of the world held their breath," through missile crises, policies of "mutual assured destruction," the Vietnam War, and the uneasy steps toward détente and full peace highlighted by Richard Nixon's meetings with Brezhnev and by Mikhail Gorbachev's meetings with Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Special sections highlight the role of spies in the cold war, as well as the films and literature of the era. This is a copiously detailed account of the major historical force of the latter half of the 20th century that would make an excellent reference book for any household. [via]

Colette: A Lifeby Herbert R. LottmanISBN 0316533610 (0-316-53361-0)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Colette: A Life'Book summary:For 50 years Sidonie Gabrielle Colette was at the centre of Parisian social and cultural life. She won great celebrity and eminence as an author and in her life and work she presented a liberating sensuality that influenced the mores of the 20th century. This book tells her story. Colette led an astonishingly full life. She worked constantly, writing novels, stories, plays, film and radio scripts and a seemingly endless stream of journalism. She performed on the stage, scandalously at times, often acting in thirty cities in a month. At night she was found at a dinner or salon that was invariably at the height of fashion, and her love life was extremely complex. After a provincial childhood Colette began writing under the tutelege of her first husband, the boulevard wit and literary entrepreneur Henry Gauthier-Villars, or "Willy". Her very public liaison with a countess ended this marriage, but not before she and Willy had launched the character Claudine, a saucy schoolgirl whose adventures instantly acquired renown. Colette married again, this time to a powerful publisher and politician, and produced such classics as "Cheri" and "The Ripening Seed". She finally settled down with a gentle, younger man, a Jew whom she fought to protect during World War II. By the end of her life she had, among other things, discovered Saint Tropez, seduced her stepson and earned the unqualified esteem of Proust and Gide. Herbert Lottman has previously written biographies of Albert Camus and Flaubert. [via]

Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cookeby Peter GuralnickISBN 0316377945 (0-316-37794-5)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke'Book summary:One of the most influential singers and songwriters of all time, Sam Cooke was among the first to blend gospel music and secular themes--the early foundation of soul music. He was the opposite of Elvis: a black performer who appealed to white audiences, who wrote his own songs, who controlled his own business destiny. No biography has previously been written that fully captures Sam Cooke's accomplishments, the importance of his contribution to American music, the drama that accompanied his rise in the early days of the civil rights movement, and the mystery that surrounds his death. Bestselling author Peter Guralnick tells this moving and significant story, from Cooke's childhood as a choirboy to an adulthood when he was anything but. With appearances by Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, James Brown, Harry Belafonte, Aretha Franklin, Fidel Castro, The Beatles, Sonny and Cher, Bob Dylan, and other central figures of this explosive era, DREAM BOOGIE is a compelling depiction of one man striving to achieve his vision despite all obstacles--and an epic portrait of America during the turbulent and hopeful 1950s and 1960s. The triumph of the book is the vividness with which Peter Guralnick conveys the astonishing richness of the black America of this era--the drama, force, and feeling of the story. [via]

The Executioner's Songby Norman MailerISBN 0316544175 (0-316-54417-5)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Executioner's Song'Book summary:The Executioner's Song is a work of unprecedented force. It is the true story of Gary Gilmore, who in 1977 became the first person executed in the United States since the reinstitution of the death penalty. Gilmore, a violent yet articulate man who chose not to fight his death-penalty sentence, touched off a national debate about capital punishment. He allowed Norman Mailer and researcher Lawrence Schiller complete access to his story. Mailer took the material and produced an immense book with a dry, unwavering voice and meticulous attention to detail on Gilmore's life--particularly his relationship with Nicole Baker, whom Gilmore claims to have killed. What unfolds is a powerful drama, a distorted love affair, and a chilling look into the mind of a murderer in his countdown with a firing squad. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Khrushchev Remembers: The Glasnost Tapes'Book summary:When the tapes dictated by Nikita Khrushchev in retirement first made their way to the West, there were key gaps in the narrative. Khrushchev himself had authorized the deletions, for apparent political reasons. Two decades would pass before those gaps could be filled. This new volume includes the revelations that Stalin confirmed the "very significant" contribution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to the Soviet atomic bomb project; that in the midst of the Cuban missile crisis, Fidel Castro urged Khrushchev to launch a nuclear attack on the United States; Khrushchev wanted to return the Japan islands in the Kuril chain seized by the USSR at the end of World War II, and thereby restore normal relations between the two countries. The new tapes also provide information on the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and its secret protocol "giving" Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia to the Soviet Union; the background on the publication of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" and Leonid Brezhnev's subsequent suppression of the author and his works; revealing asides on Brezhnev and his allies; and Khrushchev's thoughts and doubts on the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and the crushing of the Prague Spring. The book also offers an insight into the present turbulent and shifting situation in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Make-Believe Town: Essays and Remembrances'Book summary:Playwright David Mamet has forged a considerable reputation, particularly in the theaters of New York and London, for dialogue that is austere, sharp, complex, sophisticated and realistic, a skill that transferred successfully to Hollywood with the movie version of his play Glengarry Glen Ross. His first collection of essays, The Cabin, gave Mamet enthusiasts the chance to see more directly what the author thinks about the world. This second miscellaneous collection of 24 essays again gives a lively scattershot view of his concerns and obsessions: sketches of friends; a memoir of child abuse; an essay on anti-semitism; thoughts on an early job writing pornography captions; much about the theater, including his beginnings on Broadway. Definitely a clue to the mind behind the dramatic art. [via]

My Father's Keeper: Children of Nazi Leaders--An Intimate History of Damage and Denialby Stephan Lebert, Julian EvansISBN 0316519294 (0-316-51929-4)
Hardcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'My Father's Keeper: Children of Nazi Leaders--An Intimate History of Damage and Denial'Book summary:In 1959 the German journalist Norbert Lebert conducted extensive interviews with the sons and daughters of prominent Nazis: Hess, Bormann, Göring, and Himmler; Baldur von Schirach, creator of the Hitler Youth; and Hans Frank, governor of Poland. Then at the beginning of their adult lives, Lebert's subjects were the bearers of notorious names that made them outcasts to some, symbols of a lost glory to others.
Forty years later, Lebert's son Stephan-also a journalist-tracked down these same men and women to find out what had become of them, how they remembered their fathers, and what effect the names they carried had on the paths they had taken. Lebert's account of his conversations, juxtaposed with his father's postwar interviews, gives us an extraordinary and unflinching look at how these individuals have coped with a horrifying heritage.
The stories that emerge are fascinating, surprising, and often disturbing: The young man who refuses military service and is granted conscientious objector status on the grounds that his father is imprisoned by the state--as a Nazi war criminal. The boy who begins his education learning the principles of fascism, finishes it at a Catholic boarding school, and later becomes a priest and a missionary to Africa. The woman who was systematically refused work because she wouldn't use an alias, but who now lives in the suburbs under her husband's name and keeps secret contacts with other nostalgic Nazis. The journalist who writes a scathing magazine article reviling the father responsible for two million deaths, and is greeted with a barrage of letters from outraged Germans--whatever your father may have done, the letters argue, fathers must always be honored.
My Father's Keeper is a remarkable and illuminating addition to our knowledge of the Nazi past and of how this past continues to haunt the present. And it offers a chilling perspective on the way children live with the legacy of their parents' deeds. [via]

Tally's Cornerby Elliot LiebowISBN 0316525146 (0-316-52514-6)
Softcover, Little Brown & Co

› Find signed collectible books: 'Tally's Corner'Book summary:The first edition of Tally's Corner, a sociological classic selling more than one million copies, was the first compelling response to the culture of poverty thesis-- that the poor are different and, according to conservatives, morally inferior--and alternative explanations that many African Americans are caught in a tangle of pathology owing to the absence of black men in families. The debate has raged up to the present day. Yet Liebow's shadow theory of valuesespecially the values of poor, urban, black men-remains the single most parsimonious account of the reasons why the behavior of the poor appears to be at odds with the values of the American mainstream.
While Elliot Liebow's vivid narrative of "street-corner" black men remains unchanged, the new introductions to this long-awaited revised edition bring the book up to date. Wilson and Lemert describe the debates since 1965 and situate Liebow's classic text in respect to current theories of urban poverty and race. They account for what Liebow might have seen had he studied the street corner today after welfare has been virtually ended and the drug economy had taken its toll. They also take stock of how the new global economy is a source of added strain on the urban poor. Discussion of field methods since the 1960s rounds out the book's new coverage.

The Two Ocean War: A Short History of the United States Navy in the Second World Warby Samuel Eliot MorisonISBN 0316583529 (0-316-58352-9)
Softcover, Little Brown & Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Two Ocean War: A Short History of the United States Navy in the Second World War'Book summary:Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison's "The Two-Ocean War" is a classic work, a grand and wholly engaging distillation of Morison's definitive fifteen-volume history of U.S. naval operations in World War II. Morison was a distinguished historian, a former Trumbull Professor of American History at Harvard University. But he also wrote as a participant in many of the events described in this volume: he served on eleven different ships during the war, emerging as a captain with seven battle stars on his service ribbons, having gone to sea specifically to be able to write in contact with the events covered.
Fully illustrated with 35 photographs and 54 charts and maps of key engagements, this is a blazing record of the action from Pearl Harbor to the long war of attrition between submarines and convoys in the Atlantic, through Midway and Guadalcanal, to the invasion of continental Europe, to Okinawa, Leyte, and the final grudging surrender of the Japanese. Morison's narrative is rich enough to reveal all levels of each wartime encounter, dramatizing the strategic arguments that went on between Churchill and King, between MacArthur and Nimitz, as well as highlighting the glory of individual feats of arms. "The Two-Ocean War" is a truly outstanding contribution to military history. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Year 1000: What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium'Book summary:"August was the month when flies started to become a problem, buzzing round the dung heaps in the corner of every farmyard and hovering over the open cesspits of human refuse that were located outside every house."
Although daily dangers were many, housing uncomfortable, and the dominant smells unpleasant indeed, life in England at the turn of the previous millennium was not at all bad, write journalists Lacey and Danziger. "If you were to meet an Englishman in the year 1000," they continue, "the first thing that would strike you would be how tall he was--very much the size of anyone alive today." The Anglo-Saxons were not only tall, but also generally well fed and healthy, more so than many Britons only a few generations ago. Writing in a breezy, often humorous style, Lacey and Danziger draw on the medieval Julius Work Calendar, a document detailing everyday life around A.D. 1000, to reconstruct the spirit and reality of the era. Light though their touch is, they've done their homework, and they take the reader on a well-documented and enjoyable month-by-month tour through a single year, touching on such matters as religious belief, superstition, medicine, cuisine, agriculture, and politics, as well as contemporary ideas of the self and society. Readers should find the authors' discussions of famine and plague a refreshing break from present-day millennial worries, and a very stimulating introduction to medieval English history. --Gregory McNamee [via]
