Paperback. Zustand: Good. The title of this book is taken from Henry Miller's Into the Night Life and expresses the way Lawrence Ferlinghetti felt about these poems when he wrote them during a short period in the 1950's as if they were, taken together, a kind of Coney Island of the mind, a kind of circus of the soul.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award: At the suggestion of her friend Tennessee Williams, Southern writer Carson McCullers adapted her novella The Member of the Wedding into a touching and poignant play that was an enormous success when it opened on Broadway in 1950, and has long since become a classic of the American theater.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In 1958, when Henry Miller was elected to membership in the American Institute of Arts and Letters, the citation described him as: The veteran author of many books whose originality and richness of technique are matched by the variety and daring of his subject matter. His boldness of approach and intense curiosity concerning man and nature are unequalled in the prose literature of our times. It is most fitting that this anthology of the best of Henry Miller should have been assembled by one of the first among Miller's contemporaries to recognize his genius, the eminent British writer Lawrence Durrell. Drawing material from a dozen different books Durrell has traced the main line and principal themes of the single, endless autobiography which is Henry Miller's life work. I suspect, writes Durrell in his Introduction, that Miller's final place will be among those towering anomalies of authorship like Whitman or Blake who have left us, not simply works of art, but a corpus of ideas which motivate and influence a whole cultural pattern. Earlier, H. L. Mencken had said, his is one of the most beautiful prose styles today, and the late Sir Herbert Read had written that what makes Miller distinctive among modern writers is his ability to combine, without confusion, the aesthetic and prophetic functions. Included are stories, portraits of persons and places, philosophical essays, and aphorisms. For each selection Miller himself prepared a brief commentary which fits the piece into its place in his life story. This framework is supplemented by a chronology from Miller's birth in 1891 up to the spring of 1959, a bibliography, and, as an appendix, an open letter to the Supreme Court of Norway written in protest of the ban on Sexus, a part of which appears in this volume.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Robert Walser wrote many of his manuscripts in a highly enigmatic, shrunken-down form. These narrow strips of paper, covered with tiny ant-like pencil markings a millimeter high, came to light only after the author's death in 1956.At first considered random restless pencil markings or a secret code, the microscripts were in time discovered to be a radically miniaturized form of antique German script: a whole story was deciphered on the back of a business card. These twenty-five short pieces address schnapps, rotten husbands, small town life, elegant jaunts, the radio, swine, jealousy, and marriage proposals. Kalman, Maira (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Williams was foremost a poet, but the novels are of great interest. They are important books in their own right, because they present with a poet?s insight, and in a prose style of striking originality, aspects of American life which few other writers have approached. White Mule and its sequels, In the Money and The Build-Up, form a trilogy, the saga of the Stecher family, but each volume is a complete novel by itself. Joe Stecher and Gurlie, his wife, are a young couple of European origin settled in New York at the turn of the century and working to make a place for themselves in the new world. White Mule is the story of Joe?s inner struggle between love of fine craftsmanship (he is a printer by trade) and Gurlie?s ambition to get ahead, to have him get ?in the money.? But it also the story of the awakening consciousness of their children; the real heroine is the baby Flossie??she had a kick like ?White Mule? whiskey??whose birth begins the book. Everything revolves around the baby and she is surely unique in literature. Dr. Williams was a pediatrician, and without sentimentality he makes of this little being, who cannot even talk, a full-scale, three-dimensional personality.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Octavio Paz, asserts Eliot Weinberger in his introduction to these Selected Poems, is among the last of the modernists who drew their own maps of the world. For Latin America's foremost living poet, his native Mexico has been the center of a global mandala, a cultural configuration that, in his life and work, he has traced to its furthest reaches: to Spain, as a young Marxist during the Civil War; to San Francisco and New York in the early 1940s; to Paris, as a surrealist, in the postwar years; to India and Japan in 1952, and to the East again as his country's ambassador to India from 1962 to 1968; and to various universities in the United States throughout the 1970s. A great synthesizer, the rich diversity of Paz's thought is shown here in all its astonishing complexity. Among the sixty-seven selections in this volume, a gathering in English of his most essential poems drawn from nearly fifty years' work, are Muriel Rukeyser's now classic version of Sun Stone and new translations by editor Weinberger of Blanco and Maithuna. And since for Paz, forever in motion, there can be no such thing as a definitive text, all the poems have been revised to conform to the poet's most recent changes in the original Spanish. Besides those by Rukeyser and Weinberger, the translations in the Selected Poems are by G. Aroul, Elizabeth Bishop, Paul Blackburn, Lysander Kemp, Denise Levertov, Mark Strand, Charles Tomlinson, William Carlos Williams, and Monique Fong Wust.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. ?Rain Mirror,? writes Michael McClure, ?stands as my most bare and forthright book. It contains two long poems, ?Haiku Edge? and ?Crisis Blossom,? which are quite disparate from one another.? Together, the poems complement each other as do light and dark. ?Haiku Edge? is a poem of linked haiku, often humorous, sometimes harsh, and always elegant. ?Crisis Blossom,? in contrast, is a long poem in three parts that records the author?s ?state of psyche, capillaries, muscles, fears, boldnesses, and hungers down where they exist without management,? and the months of shock and recovery during a psychophysical meltdown.…
