We have more books available by this author!. 421 pp. On an unseasonably warm spring afternoon a young neo-Nazi named Vincent Nolan walks into the Manhattan office of World Brotherhood Watch a human rights foundation headed by a charismatic Holocaust survivor Meyer Maslow. Vincent announces that he wants to make a radical change in his life. But what is Maslow to make of this rough-looking stranger who claims to have read Maslow's books who has Waffen-SS tattoos under his shirtsleeves and who says that his mission is to save guys like him from becoming guys like him As he gradually turns into the sort of person who might actually be able to do that Vincent also transforms those around him: Maslow who fears that heroism has become a desk job; Bonnie Kalen the foundation's fund-raiser a divorced single mother and a devoted believer in Maslow's crusade against intolerance and injustice; and Bonnie's teenage son Danny whose take on the world around him is at once openhearted sharp-eyed and as fundamentally decent as his mother's. Masterfully plotted darkly comic A Changed Man illuminates the everyday transactions in our lives exposing what remains invisible in plain sight in our drug-addled and media-driven culture. Remarkable for the author's tender sympathy for her characters A Changed Man poses the essential questions: What constitutes a life worth living Is it possible to change What does it mean to be a moral human being The fearless intelligence wit and humanity that inform this novel make it Francine Prose's most accomplished yet.

A fine copy. 2003 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. x 108 pp. In America notes acclaimed novelist Francine Prose we are obsessed with food and diet. And what is this obsession with food except a struggle between sin and virtue overeating and self-control--a struggle with the fierce temptations of gluttony. In Gluttony Francine Prose serves up a marvelous banquet of witty and engaging observations on this most delicious of deadly sins. She traces how our notions of gluttony have evolved along with our ideas about salvation and damnation health and illness life and death. Offering a lively smorgasbord that ranges from Augustine's Confessions and Chaucer's Pardoner's Tale to Petronius's Satyricon and Dante's Inferno she shows that gluttony was in medieval times a deeply spiritual matter but today we have transformed gluttony from a sin into an illness--it is the horrors of cholesterol and the perils of red meat that we demonize. Indeed the modern take on gluttony is that we overeat out of compulsion self-destructiveness or to avoid intimacy and social contact. But gluttony Prose reminds us is also an affirmation of pleasure and of passion. She ends the book with a discussion of M.F.K. Fisher's idiosyncratic defense of one of the great heroes of gluttony Diamond Jim Brady whose stomach was six times normal size. "The broad shiny face of the glutton" Prose writes "has been--and continues to be--the mirror in which we see ourselves our hopes and fears our darkest dreams and deepest desires." Never have we delved more deeply into this mirror than in this insightful and stimulating book. The New York Public Library/Oxford University Press hardcover books

20052197086Joanna Cottler Books / Harper Collins 2005. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Aviram Einar. Signed by author. First edition. Signed by author without inscription on title page. 2005 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. Unpaginated. "Everyone loves Leopold who holds court at the Leipzig zoo on Sunday afternoons and tells fantastic tales of faraway places. One day a learned professor comes to town and gives a lecture on the real places he has been. Everyone is bored and either leaves or falls asleep. The indignant Doctor Morgenfresser shouts Your Leopold is a liar! and has him hauled off to jail. On trial the man explains that he never claimed any of it actually happened the people declare him Leopold the Storyteller and he is released to tell his stories to the children of the village. While Leopold's alliterative tales are mildly entertaining the moral is heavy-handed. The thickly painted woodblock-style artwork which is reminiscent of Chagall's bright colors and angular slightly floating characters is interesting and fits the style and location of the story well. Aviram does a nice job of contrasting the scenes of Leopold's imprisonment and trial with his stories by using drab colors for the former and bright jewel tones for the latter." - School Library Journal Joanna Cottler Books / Harper Collins hardcover books
