Hardback. Condizione: Good. America grows older yet stays focused on its young. Whatever hill we try to climb, we're 'over' it by fifty and should that hill involve entertainment or athletics we're finished long before. However, younger may be better but it doesn't appear that youngest is best: we want our teachers, doctors, generals and presidents to have reached a certain age. In context after context and contest after contest, we're more than a little conflicted about elders of the tribe; when is it right to honour them, and when to say 'step aside'? In his new book, Nicholas Delbanco, one of America's most formidable scholars, tackles the enigma of 'lastingness,' searching for the answers to the question of why some artists' work diminishes with age and that of others reaches its peak. Both an intellectual inquiry ino the essence of aging and creativity and a personal journey of discovery, LASTINGNESS is a brilliant exploration of what determines what one needs to do to keep the habits of creation and achievement alive.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. Winner of the Fall 2020 Host Publication Chap Book Prize. WHAT REMAINS is a collection of poems propelled by impulse, desire and an ancestral sense of longing. These poems are experiential; they exist within the dark and splendid catacombs of the body, in dusty moonlit Texas nights, and invite us into their own glittery mythos of what it means to be a young woman falling in and out of love in San Antonio. WHAT REMAINS begins with a portrait of a Brown girl growing up in San Antonio: a girl whose tongue is] burnt from gas station coffee, and who wears a name dipped in gold. She invites us to lay our] head / on her] chest and listen, to stir your margarita / with a chamoy-coated straw, and to play a guessing game of gunshot / or firework. We settle into the rich and storied landscape of San Antonio just in time to be lunged into a dimension of lust, loving, and longing, toward someplace too dark for us to see--, only to return to what remains.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Provence: Its magnificent landscape has inspired artists and writers for centuries. In this stunning evocation of Provencal culture and history, the critically lauded novelist and essayist Nicholas Delbanco captures both the immediacy of this changing region and the time-honored traditions of its past. Born in England during the Second World War, raised in America, Delbanco spent many of the most important periods of his life in Provence. Ensconced in a farmhouse deep in the Alpes-Maritimes, writing books, he developed lasting friendships with his neighbors, including expatriate novelist James Baldwin. His narrative deals with the stages of age--from his first, carefree visits and an early love affair to his transformation into the solid citizen who imitates his parents while guiding his children through the streets. In 1987 Delbanco returned to Provence with his family, planning a sentimental journey to our early haunts. It is to be, I tell myself, a chance to travel with our daughters before we drift apart, a chance to share our past with them before it proves irrecoverable. With the mind of a historian and the eye of an artist, Delbanco gracefully weaves strands of Provencal life into scenes from his own past and present. In the precise, mellifluous language that prompted the Chicago Tribune Book World to call him as fine a pure prose stylist as any writer living, Delbanco provides a personal record of one of the world's most fertile regions. He writes of the landscape of Petrarch and Laura, Cezanne and van Gogh, the Marquis de Sade and Albert Camus (who made his home in Lourmarin because of the size of the sky); of Provence's thirty-two winds; and of aristocrat and peasant, cave and vineyard, restaurant and gallery, coal stoves and mimosa, cars and climbing roses, stone walls and bittersweet--describing a paradise still pure, but not immune to progress. This book will bear comparison to Hemingway's account of France; it, too, is a moveable feast.…
