Saving Sin City: William Travers Jerome, Stanford White, and the Original Crime of the Century (Hardcover)

By Mary Cummings

Currently Unavailable

ISBN: 9781681777467

Availability: Out of Print

Published: Pegasus Crime - May 1st, 2018

Whether you classify it as History or True Crime, this account of the murder trial of Harry Thaw, the well-to-do ne'er-do-well who married a heart-stoppingly gorgeous teenager then killed her lover (or molester, depending on your point of view) is a fresh, modern look at a fabled case. The murdered man was Stanford White, the most celebrated architect of the Gilded Age, and Thaw shot him in the head in front of dozens of people -- and was found not guilty! Familiar to many from RAGTIME, this has been the subject of many books, documentaries, and movies, yet remains a surprising, fascinating story.

A Long Way from Home: A novel (Hardcover)

By Peter Carey

$29.65
Out of Stock Indefinitely

ISBN: 9780525520177

Published: Knopf - February 27th, 2018

Carey uses the Australian cross-country Redux auto trials of the 1950s to explore how the need to be accepted directs our motivations and accordingly, our fates. Husband and wife Titch and Irene Bobs join up with their neighbor and maps expert, Willy Bachhuber, to race the Redux. For Titch, an opportunistic car salesman, the race represents the chance to seize national fame and what’s more, the respect of his larger-than-life father. Titch recruits Irene and Willy as his co-driver and navigator, respectively. Throughout their journey Carey delves into Australia’s virulent racism toward its indigenous populations and its embedded intolerance of miscegenation. Carey’s wit, heart and intelligence are everywhere apparent in this epic road trip novel, narrated in alternating chapters by Irene and Willy. As the miles accumulate Irene’s and Willy’s lives change in profound ways that neither could have anticipated. And we, in turn, experience with awe Carey’s peerless skill in bringing these characters and this place and time so vibrantly and thrillingly to life.

Marilyn Monroe is not just one of the essential movie stars, she is an inexhaustible subject for writers, too many of whom work backwards from her sad death to depict a sad life. Not Elizabeth Winder, who devotes her book to a single year: 1954, Marilyn's "Year of Joy," as the subtitle has it, when the world's biggest star left Hollywood for Manhattan to study acting. Many of her classmates and pals became big stars, too, which makes encountering them here as much fun for the reader as it seems to have been for the optimistic, energized Marilyn of this book.

The Only Story: A novel

The Only Story: A novel (Hardcover)

By Julian Barnes

$28.55
Out of Stock Indefinitely

ISBN: 9780525521211

Published: Knopf - April 17th, 2018

Barnes has crafted a beautifully honest and introspective novel about the decade-long love affair between Susan, middle aged and married, and nineteen years old Paul. The two meet at an exclusive tennis club outside of London and soon become inseparable. It is the 1960s, and their barely concealed romance causes embarrassment for their families and censure from their community. Barnes writes with real depth of feeling about the experience of falling in love and its heedless, self-centered sense of excitement. But even more heartfelt is Barnes’ depiction of love’s disintegration as Paul finds himself powerless to stop Susan from destroying herself and at the same time sabotaging the intimate physical and emotional bonds that they share. A luminous exploration of the tenuous phases of love and life.
