Paperback. Condizione: Good. A BOOKLIST EDITORS' CHOICE, 2021 Diane Glancy once again puts Indigenous women at the center of American history in her account of a young Inupiat woman who survived a treacherous arctic expedition alone. "This moving retelling of a heroic woman?s journey demonstrates that history lives through an intimate connection between two women beyond time?s borders."?Booklist, starred review In September 1921, a young Inupiat woman named Ada Blackjack traveled to Wrangel Island, 200 miles off the Arctic Coast of Siberia, as a cook and seamstress, along with four professional explorers. The expedition did not go as planned. When a rescue ship finally broke through the ice two years later, she was the only survivor.  Diane Glancy discovered Blackjack?s diary in the Dartmouth archives and created a new narrative based on the historical record and her vision of this woman?s extraordinary life. She tells the story of a woman facing danger, loss, and unimaginable hardship, yet surviving against the odds where four ?experts? could not. Beyond the expedition, the story examines Blackjack?s childhood experiences at an Indian residential school, her struggles as a mother and wife, and the faith that enabled her to survive alone on a remote island in the Arctic Sea. Glancy?s creative telling of this heroic tale is a high mark in her award-winning hybrid investigations of suffering, identity, and Native American history.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. When Cuban fisherman first spotted the Key West lighthouse floating in Florida waters, they called her Stella Maris, Star of the Sea. It's a beacon that draws people from everywhere seeking the end-of-the-line bohemian oasis that can still be found amidst the condo share towers, chain stores, and Redneck Riviera clientele. And it's a mecca for gay men and the women who love them. Sue Kaufman Prize- winning author Michael Carroll knows the territory intimately. His stories wind in and out of the bars and guesthouses and lives of this singular paradise: a memorial for a drag queen held at the vicar's Victorian leads to uneasy encounters; two southern sisters on a cruise ship holiday are up against the ravages of alcohol, estrangement, and deadly weather. Newly divorced gay men (already a phenomenon) lick their wounds and bask in the island's lasting social twilight. At the all-male, clothing-optional resort, guys of all ages fall into one another's paths, enjoy themselves as they please, and surprise one another on their views and preconceptions. Stella Maris is about the verities of illness and death. The past and its prisoners, AIDS, the young and not so young man's realization of his own mortality. It's about the unpredictable nature of life, and of survival. It's about new beginnings and final recognitions.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Green Parrot is a strange and beautiful story with the faintly arid charm of a miniature painted on the cover of a seventeenth snuff box. There is a great deal of reticent drama, but no melodrama. The overtones of the story are left to the reader's imagination. The result is a slender, but captivating and completely self sufficient novel. THE NEW YORK TIMES.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Part autobiography, part a humourous study of Americana, these essays from Tim Brookes, who moved from England to New England, came about as an accident. While working on a doomed book about communting, Brookes developed an odd affection for dirt roads, in particular his own driveway - a tiny dirt road, a masterpiece of inconvenience. The result is this wonderful book, a well-balanced mix of family life, nature, skewed Americana and shrewd English wit. A perfect book for anyone who has ever visited America, or ever wanted to do so.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet's 15th collection, Richard Howard looks back with humour, humanity and gusto at his own education in a small progressive Midwest private school. An entire sixth grade class comes to life and captivates the reader as it grapples with science and literature; teacher and principal; and the hard facts and comic fancies of life itself. This work is fresh and free-handed, an achievement the more readily made since the book's contents involve the disciplines and exemptions, as well as the vocabulary of his own schooling.…
