Description:
Elbow/Cityful Press, Boulder, 2001. First trade paperback printing. Condition: Very good plus, very light edge and corner wear, light rubbing at bottom edge and spine, price sticker on rear cover.Jones's latest contribution to the growing Kerouac canon of studies focuses not only on issues of Kerouac's biographical life, but invariably winds up weaving elements of his fiction into the biographical backdrop. In the book's three essays, the lead piece analyzes the ten Kerouac biographies written to date, questioning to what degree each might be "projecting and exploiting."

Description:
St. Martin's Press, New York, c. 1988. Later printing. Condition: Very good plus, very light edge and corner wear, light sun shadow on cover, price sticker on rear cover.Here, in what has become a classic of its kind since its publication in 1978, is the fascinating story of Jack Kerouac, unwilling "King of the Beats" and American literary legend, recorded through the voices of his friends and lovers. Authors Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee retraced Kerouac's life at home and on the road and talked with the prophets, musicians, poets, socialites, and working people who knew Jack Kerouac. Some are famous like Allen Ginsberg, Gore Vidal, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder, among others; and some are not like Jack's boyhood buddies, his lovers, and his barroom companions. All, however, have contributed to a remarkably vibrant, riveting portrait of a life. We see Jack at Columbia University and on the scene of Greenwich Village; speeding across the tarmac of America with Neal Cassady ("Dean Moriarty" in…

Description:
Oxford U Press, 11th trade paperback printing. Condition: Very good minus, light edge and corner wear, light spine crease, price sticker on rear cover, light sunning on rear cover.Although several biographers have thrown themselves into the breach since this magisterial book first appeared in 1959, none have come close to matching the late Richard Ellmann's achievement. To be fair, Ellmann does have some distinct advantages. For starters, there's his deep mastery of the Irish milieu--demonstrated not only in this volume but in his books on Yeats and Wilde. He's also an admirable stylist himself--graceful, witty, and happily unintimidated by his brilliant subjects. But in addition, Ellmann seems to have an uncanny grasp on Joyce's personality: his reverence for the Irishman's literary accomplishment is always balanced by a kind of bemused affection for his faults. Whether Joyce is putting the finishing touches on Ulysses, falling down drunk in the streets of Trieste, or talking dirty to his future wife…

Tor, New York, 2011. First paperback printing. Condition: Near fine, light edge and corner wear.A triumph of the New Space Opera: fast, complicated, wonder-filled!Hugo Award finalist and Robert A. Heinlein Award-winning SF writer Michael Flynn now turns to space opera with stunningly successful results. Full of rich echoes of space opera classics from Doc Smith to Cordwainer Smith, "The January Dancer" tells the fateful story of an ancient pre-human artifact of great power, and the people who found it.Starting with Captain Amos January, who quickly loses it, and then the others who fought, schemed, and killed to get it, we travel around the complex, decadent, brawling, mongrelized interstellar human civilization the artifact might save or destroy. Collectors want the Dancer; pirates take it, rulers crave it, and they'll all kill if necessary to get it. This is a thrilling yarn of love, revolution, music, and mystery, and it ends, as all great stories do, with shock and a beginning.

Harper One, New York, 2010. First trade paperback printing. Condition: Good, edge and corner wear, creasing at corners, scuffing at spine, price sticker on rear cover. Well read.Picking up where Bible expert Bart Ehrman's New York Times bestseller Misquoting Jesus left off, Jesus, Interrupted addresses the larger issue of what the New Testament actually teaches—& it's not what most people think. Here Ehrman reveals what scholars have unearthed: The authors of the New Testament have diverging views about who Jesus was & how salvation works; The New Testament contains books that were forged in the names of the apostles by Christian writers who lived decades later; Jesus, Paul, Matthew & John all represented fundamentally different religions; Established Christian doctrines—such as the suffering messiah, the divinity of Jesus & the trinity—were the inventions of still later theologians.These aren't idiosyncratic perspectives of just one scholar. They've been the standard widespread views of…

Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along—that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one's own.
