Prima edizione
Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Gall, John - Cover (illustratore). First Printing. 209 Pages. Tight book with no marks or stamps. Hailed for its searing emotional insights, and for the astonishing originality with which it weaves together personal history, cultural essay, and readings of classical texts by Sophocles, Ovid, Euripides, and Sappho, The Elusive Embrace is a profound exploration of the mysteries of identity, a meditation in which the author uses his own divided life to investigate the rich conflictedness of things, the double lives all of us lead. Daniel Mendelsohn recalls the deceptively quiet suburb where he grew up, torn between his mathematician father's pursuit of scientific truth and the exquisite lies spun by his Orthodox Jewish grandfather; the streets of Manhattan's newest gay ghetto, where desire for love competes with love of desire, and the quiet moonlit house where a close friend's small son teaches him the meaning of fatherhood. And, finally, in a neglected Jewish cemetery, the author uncovers a family secret that reveals the universal need for storytelling, for inventing myths of the self. The book that Hilton Als calls equal to Whitman's Song of Mysel. The Elusive Embrace marks a dazzling literary debut.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. For the first time, a collected edition of the major works of John Williams, including the acclaimed novel Butcher's Crossing, now a major motion picture starring Nicholas CageJohn Williamss three major works have come to be recognized as modern American classics and are collected in this Library of America volume for the first time.In Butchers Crossing, he unsettles the conventions of the Western novel to tell the haunting story of a buffalo hunting expedition that exposes the savagery and greed behind the myth of the frontier.In Stoner, he portrays power politics in academe and the quiet heroism of a midwestern English professor dedicated to the honest and dogged pursuit of his craft.In Augustus, set in ancient Rome, Williams again takes on the subject of powermore particularly, in the authors own words, the ambivalence between the public necessity and the private want or need.Rounding out the volume are three essays by Williams on writing fiction and his speech upon accepting the National Book Award for Augustus in 1973. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
