Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. "It turns out that Russo the nonfiction writer is a lot like Russo the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist. He is affably disagreeable, wry, idiosyncratic, vulnerably bighearted, a craftsman of lubricated sentences."%u2014Jay Fielden, New York Times Book Review A master of the novel, short story, and memoir, the best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Everybody's Fool now gives us his very first collection of personal essays, ranging throughout writing and reading and living. In these nine essays, Richard Russo provides insight into his life as a writer, teacher, friend, and reader. From a commencement speech he gave at Colby College, to the story of how an oddly placed toilet made him reevaluate the purpose of humor in art and life, to a comprehensive analysis of Mark Twain's value, to his harrowing journey accompanying a dear friend as she pursued gender-reassignment surgery, The Destiny Thief reflects the broad interests and experiences of one of America's most beloved authors. Warm, funny, wise, and poignant, the essays included here traverse Russo's writing life, expanding our understanding of who he is and how his singular, incredibly generous mind works. An utter joy to read, they give deep insight into the creative process from the prospective of one of our greatest writers. Piece(s) of the spine missing.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Best American Catholic Short Stories captures twenty of the best short stories from thirteen American Catholic writers over the past seventy-five years. Spanning most of the twentieth century, the stories in this collection deal with many of the issues brought into the spotlight with Vatican II. One ongoing area of controversy, of course, is in the very notion of Catholic fiction. What constitutes a work as "Catholic"? This new collection, with its rich variety of themes, styles, and tones, takes an important step in answering this question. Pat Schnapp and Dan McVeigh have assembled an extraordinary sampling that is unique in its subject and scope. Major contributors include Mary Gordon, Flannery O'Connor, Ron Hansen, T. Coraghessan Boyle, and Richard Russo. A collection of twenty short stories from thirteen American Catholic writers. Spanning most of the twentieth century, these stories deal with many of the issues brought into the spotlight with Vatican II. The contributors include Mary Gordon, Flannery O'Connor, Ron Hansen, T Coraghessan Boyle, and Richard Russo.

Condition: Bueno. *** As heard on BBC Radio Four's Book Club with James Naughtie***'Honest, wonderful and smart as hell' Guardian'Curtis Sittenfeld is in a league of her own' ObserverAll I did is marry him. You are the ones who gave him power.Quiet, bookish Alice Blackwell never dreamed of being First Lady. Much less to a President whose politics she doesn't believe in. On perhaps the most important day of her husband's presidency, Alice looks back on the strange and unlikely path that led her to the White House, and to a decision - both treacherous and long overdue - that could jeopardise everything.Taking inspiration from real life, AMERICAN WIFE is a remarkable portrait of a woman caught between her feelings for her husband, her country, and herself.'My favourite book of the century' HADLEY FREEMAN, GUARDIAN Seguir leyendo CRÍTICASSuch an accomplished work of fiction. a thoughtful and compelling examination of the mechanics of family and marriage. Knowing and knowledgeable, yet also inventive and original, American Wife is a thrilling combination of history and surprises ? GuardianSuperbly well-written - one of the most absorbing books of the year ? Evening StandardThoroughly enjoyable. The plot is beautifully paced, the writing quick, clear, absorbing. A sweeping saga ? The TimesA powerful, utterly compelling and strangely moving fictional account of a First Lady who bears more than a passing resemblance to Laura Bush ? Daily MirrorI was utterly absorbed in this story of a political marriage and a wife who has her own reasons. Curtis Sittenfeld has thrown a powerful light on small town America and its misunderstood valuesMy favourite book of the year ? Kate AtkinsonA quietly riveting parable. thought-provoking, entertaining and full of subtle reflections on class and marriage ? Daily MailA classic story, with a langorous pace and a fierce literary integrity. Sittenfeld has provided a plausible secret history of an American embarrassment - and a grand entertainmentAmerican Wife is easily one of the best books written so far this century. It is honest, wonderful and smart as hell, the kind of book that you try to eke out to make it last as long as possible ? GuardianThis is one of the finest American novels of 2008 ? New StatesmanCurtis Sittenfeld is an amazing writer, and American Wife is a brave and moving novel about the intersection of private and public life in America. Ambitious and humble at the same time, Sittenfeld refuses to trivialize or simplify people, whether real or imaginedThe scope and detail of American Wife are reminiscent of Richard Russo. Like Russo, she creates characters from the ground up, ancestry, neighborhood, culture and all. Her characters are carefully rendered and the story is well-constructed ? Los Angeles TimesVastly entertaining. It is an intelligent, well-crafted, psychologically astute novel ? New York SunWeaves fate, family, marriage, wealth and power into an absorbing story ? Mail on SundayUtterly brilliantThis engagingly candid First Lady is belssed with so many attractive qualities that her story grips from the very beginning. Full marks to Curtis Sittenfeld ? Sunday TelegraphBest book: I was on the beach in Croatia recently and it was the one book that quite a few women were lying there reading. It was surreal ? BestI truly can't believe what a great writer Sittenfeld is, she's fantastic ? The HeraldA deft, funny and revealing story. This clever and convincing portrait of human frailty is a reminder that perhaps none of us is what we might seem. An honest and insightful story of a marriage, and a refreshing take on recent history ? PsychologiesWhen people ask for book recommendations I often press Curtis Sittenfeld?s magnificent third novel, American Wife, into their hands. This loosely fictionalised life of former first lady Laura Bush has a rare and magical combination of accessibility, wit and serious thinking. ?
