Hardback. Zustand: Good. Caleb Powell always wanted to become an artist, but he overcommitted to life; his former professor David Shields always wanted to become a human being, but he overcommitted to art. The stay-at-home dad (three young girls) and the workaholic writer (eighteen books) head to the woods to spend four days together in a cabin, arguing life vs. art. I Think You're Totally Wrong is an impassioned, funny, probing, fiercely inconclusive, nearly-to-the-death debate. Shields and Powell talk about everything--marriage, family, sports, sex, happiness, drugs, death, betrayal, and (of course) writers and writing--in the name of exploring and debating their central question: the lived life versus the examined life. There are no teachers or students here, no interviewers or interviewees, no masters of the universe--only a chasm of uncertainty, in a dialogue that remains dazzlingly provocative and entertaining from start to finish. James Franco's film adaptation of I Think You're Totally Wrong, starring the authors, premiered in 2015.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The darkly compelling, masterfully rendered tale of a centuries-old secret and the bold quest of irresistible duo Archie Lean and Perceval Grey to uncover the truth, from the author of>The Truth of All ThingsIn the summer of 1893 in Portland, Maine, police detective Archie Lean follows a trail of ashen footprints to the site of a dead body. The victim is horribly scorched, and ominous occult symbols mark nearby walls. But what troubles Lean most is what he saw two days earlier: this same dead man being lowered into his grave without a burn mark on him. Perplexed by the diabolically staged scene, Lean turns for help to his onetime partner, the brilliant criminalist Perceval Grey. Grey faces problems of his own after agreeing to a wealthy businessman's deathbed plea to find his long-lost granddaughter. The dying man's family is more concerned with the recent theft of the thunderstone, an obscure heirloom carved with curious symbols. As the family's shadowy history is revealed, the three mysteries intersect to draw Lean and Grey into a maze of murder, deceit, and revenge. Each deadly new clue points toward an even greater puzzle that will pit Grey against a devious murderer in a race to decipher the thunderstone's riddle--and reveal an ancient secret that men will kill to possess. Now with Extra Libris material, including an essay by Kieran Shields and bonus content.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Tom Shields Goes Forth is definitely the last collection of 'bits' from his diary column in The Herald, before old age and infirmity force him into early retirement.

Like the author's newspaper diary, this is a quirky, witty commentary on life as we know it. Casting a scrupulous eye over the humdrum aspects of society that we mere mortals take for granted, Tom Shields revels in the inconsistencies and incongruities - and other longish words - of everyday cultural artefacts. For those unfortunate enough to have read the first three books in the series, Tom Shields Goes Forth is the icing on a cake which has entertained generations and endangered that common species: boredom. Packed with what the author considers to be funny jokes, anecdotes and waggish observations, this book is a collection for those who believe that life is best lived with more than a generous pinch of salt and with the tongue lodged firmly in the cheek.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. An instant New York Times bestseller, this "explosive biography" (People) of one of the most beloved and mysterious figures of the twentieth century is "as close as we'll ever get to being inside J.D. Salinger's head" (Entertainment Weekly). This "revealing" (The New York Times) and "engrossing" (The Wall Street Journal) oral biography, "fascinating and unique" (The Washington Post) and "an unmitigated success" (USA TODAY), has redefined our understanding of one of the most mysterious figures of the twentieth century. In nine years of work on Salinger, and especially in the years since the author's death, David Shields and Shane Salerno interviewed more than 200 people on five continents, many of whom had previously refused to go on the record about their relationship with Salinger. This oral biography offers direct eyewitness accounts from Salinger's World War II brothers-in-arms, his family members, his close friends, his lovers, his classmates, his neighbors, his editors, his publishers, his New Yorker colleagues, and people with whom he had relationships that were secret even to his own family. Their intimate recollections are supported by more that 175 photos (many never seen before), diaries, legal records, and private documents that are woven throughout; in addition, appearing here for the first time, are Salinger's "lost letters"--ranging from the 1940s to 2008, revealing his intimate views on love, literature, fame, religion, war, and death, and providing a raw and revelatory self-portrait. The result is "unprecedented" (Associated Press), "genuinely valuable" (Time), and "strips away the sheen of [Salinger's] exceptionalism, trading in his genius for something much more real" (Los Angeles Times). According to the Sunday Times of London, Salinger is "a stupendous work.I predict with the utmost confidence that, after this, the world will not need another Salinger biography.".…
