Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As if Marguerite Duras wrote Convenience Store Woman - a beautiful, unexpected novel from a debut French-Korean author.It's winter in Sokcho, a tourist town on the border between South and North Korea. The cold slows everything down. Bodies are red and raw, the fish turn venomous, beyond the beach guns point out from the North's watchtowers. A young French Korean woman works as a receptionist in a tired guesthouse. One evening, an unexpected guest arrives- a French cartoonist determined to find inspiration in this desolate landscape. The two form an uneasy relationship. When she agrees to accompany him on trips to discover an "authentic" Korea, they visit snowy mountaintops and dramatic waterfalls, and cross into North Korea. But he takes no interest in the Sokcho she knows - the gaudy neon lights, the scars of war, the fish market where her mother works. As she's pulled into his vision and taken in by his drawings, she strikes upon a way to finally be seen.An exquisitely-crafted debut, which won the Prix Robert Walser, Winter in Sokcho is a novel about shared identities and divided selves, vision and blindness, intimacy and alienation. Elisa Shua Dusapin's voice is distinctive and unmistakable.'Mysterious, beguiling, and glowing with tender intelligence, Winter in Sokcho is a master class in tension and atmospherics, a study of the delicate, murky filaments of emotion that compose a life. Dusapin has a rare and ferocious gift for pinning the quick, slippery, liveness of feeling to the page- her talent is a thrill to behold.'-Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine'Enigmatic, beguiling . This finely crafted debut explores topics of identity and heredity in compelling fashion. In its aimless, outsider protagonist there are echoes of Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman.''-Sarah Gilmartin, Irish Times'Dusapin's terse sentences are at times staggeringly beautiful, their immediacy sharply and precisely rendered from French by Aneesa Abbas Higgins . Oiled with a brooding tension that never dissipates or resolves, Winter in Sokcho is a noirish cold sweat of a book.'-Catherine Taylor, Guardian Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

John Joseph Navone was born in Seattle, WA on 19 October 1930, the son of Giacomo 'Jack' Navone and Juliet Micheli Navone. At the time of his birth, his father was not yet a US Citizen, so Navone has dual citizenship in the United States and Italy (and therefore the European Union). He has five siblings: Joseph, James, George, Helen, and Catherine. He received his primary education at St. Anne School. His first three years of High School were spent at O'Dea High School, operated by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. He transferred to the Jesuit Seattle Preparatory School for his senior year, graduating from there in 1948. The former Jesuit Seminary at Mount St. Michael near Spokane, WA.Navone matriculated at Seattle University his freshman year before entering the Jesuit novitiate of St. Francis Xavier at Sheridan, OR on 14 August 1949 and studied there for four years. The next step of his education was at the Mount St. Michael Philosophate, then a Jesuit Seminary associated with Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. He received his master's degree in philosophy from Gonzaga in 1956. From 1959 to 1963 he studied theology at Regis College, University of Toronto in Toronto, ON. From 1963 until 2009, he resided in Rome, where he received his doctorate in theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1966 His doctoral dissertation, 'History and Faith in the Thought of Dr. Alan Richardson' was published in 1966 by the SCM Press, London, marking the first time a Catholic doctoral dissertation was published by this Anglican - Protestant press.

St. Catherines: Vanwell Publishing Limited, 1987. First edition printing. Blue cloth boards with gilt titles to the spine. Original dust jacket. . Presented is a first edition printing of Robert Taylor Air Combat Paintings by Robert Weston and Robert Taylor. Published in 1987 by Vanwell Publishing Limited in St. Catherines, Ontario, this book features a foreword by Air Vice Marshal Johnnie Johnson, CB, CBE, DSO, DFC, DL. The book is volume one, of six total volumes, of Taylor s dramatic aviation paintings. This was the first book published featuring a comprehensive selection of Robert Taylor s aviation paintings. The book features in-depth visual studies of many of Robert s most outstanding early paintings, along with a wealth of pencil sketches and photographs. A number of great pilots illustrated in his paintings have contributed their own personal recollections, including first-hand accounts of the aircraft they flew in combat. Each of the paintings is reproduced in full color .Those already familiar with his work will be intrigued to discover the secrets of his techniques and all aviation buffs will delight in the behind-the-scenes stories of life with the flying Aces. Robert Taylor is the most widely collected aviation artist. Taylor spent much of his life in Bath, England working as a fine art restorer. He was regarded as one of the most talented restorers in the West of England and worked often on many old masters. Taylor was 32 before he became a full-time painter for The Military Gallery. The impact of his early restoration career and the old master painters can easily be seen in his dramatic and inspiring aviation works. In his aviation paintings, Taylor conveys the technical details of the machines while still composing a dramatic and engaging scene. The planes retain realistic detail with scuffed paint, scratches, and dirt but are still painted in a glorifying and romantic tradition of early Old World painters. Taylor s original paintings can be found in the collections of the Imperial War Museum, the RAF Museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, the International Aerospace Hall of Fame, the Smithsonian s National Air and Space Museum, and the Australian War Memorial Museum. CONDITION: Good condition overall. Blue cloth boards with gilt titles to the spine. Original dust jacket. Some wear to dust jacket- creases and light bumping to spine. Interior pages are healthy and illustrations and color still bright. Dimensions: 11 ¾ H x 15 W x 1 D.
