In An Extravagant Hunger the turning points and casual strolls of M.F.K. Fisher's life are unwrapped and savored. From the Berengaria that washed her across the sea to France in 1929 to Le Paquis the Swiss estate that later provided a backdrop for some of the most idyllic and fleeting moments of her life the stories of Fisher's love for food and her love for family and men are meticulously researched and exquisitely captured in this book. Exploring Fisher's lonely and formative time in Europe with her first husband; her subsequent divorce and re-marriage to her creative sparkplug Dillwyn Parrish and his tragic suicide; and the child she carried from an unnamed father the story of M.F.K. Fisher's life becomes as vibrant and passionate as her prolific words on wine and cuisine. Letters and journal entries piece together a dramatic life but An Extravagant Hunger steps further bridging the gaps between personal notes and her public persona filling in the silences by offering an engaging and unprecedented depth of intuitive commentary. With a passion of her own Anne Zimmerman is the careful witness lingering beside M.F.K. Fisher through her most dramatic and productive years. Counterpoint, unknown

200664016New York: Thunder's Mouth Press 2006. First edition. First printing stated. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. ix 518 p. Illustrations. Glossary. Notes. Index. The Reagan Administration pushed hard for NASA to launch shuttle mission 51L before it was ready. 73 seconds into the launch the shuttle exploded killing seven people and leaving a nation traumatized. Richard Cook the lead resource analyst at NASA for the Solid Rocket Boosters SRBs was the first to warn of possible catastrophic failure. His memo which detailed astronaut concerns and warnings from the shuttle builders at Morton Thiokol were ignored by top NASA officials and members of the Reagan administration. In the aftermath of the explosion NASA launched an investigation to "discover" the cause of the disaster. Though within NASA there was absolute certainty about the O-ring joint failure they began a cover-up by publicly proclaiming that the cause of the explosion was unknown. A Reagan administration Commission perpetrated the same lie. And when Richard Cook realized that the Commission was not interested in revealing the truth he acted as a true patriot and hero and leaked the original O-ring warning documents to the New York Times. His article set off a cascade of disclosures about the events leading up to the disaster including revelations by Morton Thiokol engineers that they had tried to stop the launch.

201335135New York: Mysterious Bookshop 2013. 2013. BIBLIOMYSTERY. First edition. Limited edition of 100 copies issued in cloth numbered and signed by the author. Fine in dust jacket. Fifty years after the signing of the Armistice Treaty amateur historian and rare book collector Franklin Altman’s native city of Berlin stands in dilapidated contrast to the Manhattan of the victorious United States.A series of financial and familial blessings post WWI allowed him the luxury of retreat from his native country to America where he changed his name from Ziegfried to Altman and thus secured a position among New York’s intellectuals. On the evening of November 11th 1968 a talk by Altman in honor of the anniversary of the Armistice Treaty takes a dark turn upon the haunting arrival of a classmate from his past. It becomes clear as the two men discuss their lives after the Realschule that they are two sides of the same coin: both born and raised in Germany with a melancholy adoration of the homeland but whereas Altman’s role in the war elevated his position his comrade’s life was destroyed on the faceless mechanized battlefields. This strange encounter leaves Altman in possession of the man’s personal manuscript his mysterious “life’s work” whose contents could have changed the course of history.
