Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the early 1900s, Frank Lloyd Wright transformed a small midwestern prairie community into one of the world's most important architectural destinations. Mason City, Iowa, became home to his City National Bank and Park Inn--the last surviving Wright hotel. In addition, his prototype Stockman House helped launch the Prairie School architectural style. Soon after, architect Walter Burley Griffin followed in Wright's footsteps, designing a cluster of Prairie School homes in the Rock Crest/Rock Glen neighborhood. Design historian Roy Behrens leads the way through Mason City's historic development from the Industrial Revolution to the modern era of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. NEW. NO remainder marks. Reprint of Davenport's third book of short stories--if that's what they are: "Davenport's conception of the short story form is remarkable. He has given it some of the intellectual density of the learned essay, some of the lyrical concision of the modern poem, and a structure that often resembles a film documentary"--Hilton Kramer. This edition reproduces all seven of Roy Behrens' full page collages that accompany the story "Christ Preaching at the Henley Regatta" (countervailing mirrors to the prose) that were included in the original North Point Press edition. Ships fast with tracking.

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 238pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "These new stories by Guy Davenport are extraordinary. His is a fiction of historical and linguistic collage, 'assemblages,' he has said, 'of history and necessary fiction.' We follow time warps through Thebes under Spartan rule, the Athens of Diogenes, a Civil War field hospital, Bordeaux, Bologna, and the English countryside in the twentieth century. [] Mixtures of myth and fable, these tales are sourced in Plutarch, Montaigne, The Acts of the Apostles, Theokritos, and the daily newspaper. [] This book is a delight, and Mr. Davenport proves a companionable and witty guide to any layer of this feast. [] Two of the stories are illustrated with collages by Roy R. Behrens, and both are exact and direct collaborations. On one occasion Mr. Behrens executed his collages in response to Mr. Davenport's text; the next occasion found Mr. Davenport writing in response to Mr. Behrens' collages." [jacket copy] "In this new collection, Davenport's dazzling yet terribly tight fiction--which stretches across classical and erudite correspondences--shows some signs of loosening up, allowing in some mood and story while sacrificing none of its cured clarities of language. The two stories with contemporary settings here--'The Death of Picasso (a painter and essayist summering on a Dutch island with a half-innocent teenage boy companion) and the too-long 'On Some Lines of Virgil' (French teenagers acting out, with randy verve, the friendly and pastoral and erotic rites described by Virgil via Montaigne)--both build up moderate, if never engrossing, heads of narrative steam. The sort of tableau vivant which Davenport does so well is also on display: 'Christ Preaching at the Henley Regatta'--after a Stanley Spencer painting--is best, a canvas-ful of eccentric detail ("Flat light shimmers on the Thames. An airplane drags a streamer through the air, advertising Bovril. A dowager aims her ear trumpet so that a constable can direct her electric wheelchair"); the more bookish 'Lo Splendore della Luce a Bologna' presents T. E. Hulme at the International Philosophy Congress in 1911; and in 'Idyll,' a Theocritan shepherd and goatherd are metamorphosed into wounded Union soldiers being nursed by Walt Whitman ('Old Grizzle') during the Civil War. But what's best of all in this collection derives from Davenport's background as an imaginative classicist. Versions of Diogenes' Lives of the Philosophers, of Plutarch, and of the New Testament's Book of Acts--all these are insufflated into stories that are confident, funny, agreeably American Southern, revolving around the most basic issues of philosophy in an aw-shucks manner that's very disarming. (Especially good is 'The Trees at Lystra,' sort of St.-Paul-meets-Eudora-Welty.) Davenport's elegant learnedness is given long leash in these, to wonder and cut up and subvert, and they may stand as his most satisfying work in fiction yet. All in all, a fine--if intensely special--collection."--Kirkus Reviews. Fine paperback w/North Point jacket illustration of Picasso's 'Pipes of Pan,' brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
