Paperback. Condizione: Good. Beth McDermott's first book of poetry is an eclectic array of intense observation and introspection. Brimming with intelligence, these poems gaze upon scenes of life and art with a language of precision and a generous expanse of imagination. Her recurring meditations on the human condition, both metaphysical and literal, sweep over these poems like "a white sea without a coastline."As the award-winning poet and essayist Marianne Boruch notes, "these elegant poems by Beth McDermott are curious creatures of mind and eye calmly unfolding in equal weight and austerity, cool as distance but excruciatingly close as if a microscope could think out loud. Taking on both the natural world (the ghost orchid, blackbirds, "a pin oak" falling before expressway excavators, etc.) and genius artifice (Vermeer, Stieglitz, Caravaggio, Degas?), this poet defies her own lament that "if only she questioned the face value of beauty." Because in fact McDermott again and again does that, her work not pretty, not out to please or endear, instead growing brave as science and patience are, and somehow post-apocalyptic. Figure 1 (a stunningly apt title for this collection!) unnerves by a measured, mysterious step-by-step chill. Which is to say, these poems never apologize or self-serve as they stop human time.".…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The riveting true story of a child, a family, and life on the outskirts of normal. When Jeanne McDermott's second child, Nathaniel, was born with Apert syndrome--a condition that results in a towering skull, a sunken face, and fingers webbed so tightly that hands look like mittens--she was completely unprepared for it. In this extraordinary memoir, McDermott calls on her dual roles as science journalist and mother to share her family's traumatic yet enriching experience. Though McDermott and her family had to endure Nathaniel's harrowing surgeries and the stares and comments of strangers and well-meaning friends, they were also transformed by the boy's amazing strength and exuberant personality. With grace, courage, and humor, McDermott shows readers how a child with a rare syndrome can illuminate a whole new way of seeing, not simply him and others, but ourselves. Babyface is not so much about a child with special needs as it is about a normal family and what happens when life takes an unexpected turn.--The Boston Globe As richly peopled as a novel . . . Jeanne McDermott has taken her education in grief and its transcendence and given it, with tenderness and even wit, to her readers.--Rosellen Brown Jeanne McDermott's dual identity as a cerebral science writer and fiercely loving mother gives her book an unusual breadth and depth, one it could never attain were she a narrower writer or a narrower human being.--Anne Fadiman, author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In Alice McDermott's first work of fiction since her best-selling, National Book Award-winning Charming Billy, a woman recalls her fifteenth summer with the wry and bittersweet wisdom of hindsight. The beautiful child of older parents, raised on the eastern end of Long Island, Theresa is her town's most sought-after babysitter--cheerful, poised, an effortless storyteller, a wonder with children and animals. Among her charges this fateful summer is Daisy, her younger cousin, who has come to spend a few quiet weeks in this bucolic place. While Theresa copes with the challenge presented by the neighborhood's waiflike children, the tumultuous households of her employers, the attentions of an aging painter, and Daisy's fragility of body and spirit, her precocious, tongue-in-check sense of order is tested as she makes the perilous crossing into adulthood. In her deeply etched rendering of all that happened that seemingly idyllic season, McDermott once again peers into the depths of everyday life with inimitable insight and grace.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Finalist for National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable Books of 2017 The Washington Post's 50 Notable Works of Fiction 2017 The Wall Street Journal's Top 10 Novels of 2017 Time Magazine's Top 10 Novels of 2017 NPR's Best Books of 2017 Kirkus Reviews' Best Fiction & Best Historical Fiction of 2017 Library Journal's Top 10 Novels of 2017 Barnes & Noble's 25 Best Fiction Books of 2017 A magnificent new novel from one of America's finest writers--a powerfully affecting story spanning the twentieth century of a widow and her daughter and the nuns who serve their Irish-American community in Brooklyn. On a dim winter afternoon, a young Irish immigrant opens the gas taps in his Brooklyn tenement. He is determined to prove--to the subway bosses who have recently fired him, to his pregnant wife--"that the hours of his life belong to himself alone." In the aftermath of the fire that follows, Sister St. Savior, an aging nun appears, unbidden, to direct the way forward for his widow and his unborn child. We begin deep inside Catholic Brooklyn, in the early part of the twentieth century. Decorum, superstition, and shame collude to erase the man's brief existence. Yet his suicide, although never spoken of, reverberates through many lives and over the decades testing the limits and the demands of love and sacrifice, of forgiveness and forgetfulness, even through multiple generations. The characters we meet, from Sally, the unborn baby at the beginning of the novel, who becomes the center of the story to the nuns whose personalities we come to know and love to the neighborhood families with whose lives they are entwined, are all rendered with extraordinary sympathy and McDermott's trademark lucidity and intelligence. Alice McDermott's The Ninth Hour is a crowning achievement by one of the premiere writers at work in America today.…
