Paperback. Condizione: Good. Chosen from Robison's three long-unavailable collections, along with four new stories, Tell Me reflects the early brilliance as well as the fulfilled promise of Mary Robison's literary career. In these stories (most of which have appeared in The New Yorker), we enter her sly world of plotters, absconders, ponderers, and pontificators. Robison's characters have chips on their shoulders; they talk back to us in language that is edgy and nervy; they say all right and okay often, not because they consent, but because nothing counts. Still, there are small victories here, small only because, as Robison precisely documents, larger victories are impossible. Here then, among others, is Pretty Ice, chosen by Richard Ford for The Granta Book of American Short Stories, Coach, chosen for Best American Short Stories, I Get By, an O. Henry Prize Stories selection, and Happy Boy, Allen, a Pushcart Prize Stories selection. These stories-sharp, cool, and astringently funny-confirm Mary Robison's place as one of our most original writers and led Richard Yates to comment, Robison writes like an avenging angel, and I think she may be a genius.…

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. Robison raises sitcom wit to the level of real emotional situations, real comedy and real art. --The Chicago Tribune Subraction stands out as a high-wire act of the novel form--taut in expression yet rich with humanity, expertly crafted and unfairly neglected. --The Millions Paige Deveaux, poet and Harvard professor, is tracking her husband Raf, who has vanished once again. Paige trails him to Houston, where he is holed up in a seedy bar, drunk and cheerfully ashamed of himself. He's very glad to see her: she's the only girl for him (and he should know--he's tried most of the others). Finding Raf is one thing, but holding on to him is another. To sober him up, to keep him sober, to keep him, Paige enlists Raf's old friend Raymond (himself an ex-alcoholic) and Raf's new friend Pru, a holistically inclined contortionist-stripper. For a while life, and Raf, seem to settle down. But this foursome is nothing but trouble for one another. Pru is a hit-and-run artist, a sexual desperado who has already broken Raymond's heart, and now Raymond is growing sweet on Paige. As Raf says, Assorted wretchednesses ensue.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Tense, moving, and hilarious . . . [A] dark jewel of a novel. -Francine Prose, O, The Oprah Magazine Three husbands have left her. I.R.S. agents are whamming on her door. And her beloved cat has gone missing. She's back and forth between Melanie, her secluded Southern town, and L.A., where she has a weakening grasp on her job as a script doctor. Having been sacked by most of the studios and convinced that her dealings with Hollywood have fractured her personality, Money Breton talks to herself nonstop. She glues and hammers and paints every item in her place. She forges loving inscriptions in all her books. Through it all, there is her darling puzzling daughter who lives close by but seems ever beyond reach, and her son, the damaged victim of a violent crime under police protection in New York. While both her children seem to be losing all their battles, Money tries for ways and reasons to keep battling. Why Did I Ever is a book of piercing intellect and belligerent humor. Since its first publication in 2002 it has had a profound impact, not only on Robison's devoted following, but on the shape of the contemporary novel itself.…
