Now it’s the last night of 1984 and Lillian, 85 years old but just as sharp and savvy as ever, is on her way to a party. It was a job that, she says, “in some ways saved my life, and in other ways ruined it.” Macy’s to become the highest paid advertising woman in the country. She took 1930s New York by storm, working her way up writing copy for R.H. “In my reckless and undiscouraged youth,” Lillian Boxfish writes, “I worked in a walnut-paneled office thirteen floors above West Thirty-Fifth Street…” Effervescent with verve, wit, and heart, Rooney’s nimble novel celebrates insouciance, creativity, chance, and valor." "Rooney's delectably theatrical fictionalization is laced with strands of tart poetry and emulates the dark sparkle of Dorothy Parker, Edna St. “Extraordinary…hilarious…Elegantly written, Rooney creates a glorious paean to a distant literary life and time-and an unabashed celebration of human connections that bridge past and future. “Prescient and quick.A perfect fusing of subject and writer, idea and ideal.” “Transporting…witty, poignant and sparkling.” “When the agent turned in at the lane leading to an upright farmhouse with book-end chimneys, a porch along the front, magnolia trees, and a meadow along a river, I was ready to sign the dotted line before I opened the car door,” she writes. Readers will also visit some new locales, namely Chatwood, the North Carolina farmhouse where she and her husband, Ed, live when they’re not in Italy.Ĭhatwood spoke to Mayes much like Bramasole did: It was instant love. In A Place in the World, Mayes’ fans can revisit some familiar places, such as Bramasole, the villa in the Tuscan countryside that she famously renovated in Under the Tuscan Sun, and the humid and fragrant Fitzgerald, Mayes’ Georgia hometown and the subject of her memoir Under Magnolia. It’s a subject about which she knows plenty, having made so many homes over her lifetime. In Frances Mayes’ sparkling new collection of essays, she ponders the meaning of home. The lady obviously had a thing for married men: she was constantly being solicitous and accommodating with every husband in the massive room, and Gina wasn’t the only wife there who was getting fed up with the way their men melted before her. "Rems" was a fighting word, and was the most seductive thing about him, when he got brave enough to say it, though she vowed never to let him know it…), had watched this Sergeant Lisa Cipisi, NYPD, in action. She knew this too, and didn’t like knowing it, nor did she care at all for this big Italian lady everyone was calling “Sergeant Lisa” with such irritating admiration.įor eight days, Regina Crowley, or Gina, as she was called by everyone and always had been (besides her husband Jim, who occasionally called her “Rems” after her initials as Regina Elizabeth Martinez-Sanchez, when his thoroughly Anglo-Saxon temperament was put out with her exasperating “Texmexitude“. And, as the only daughter and youngest child of an Arlington police captain, and herself a prominent Dallas prosecutor, she knew better than anyone alive, how to handle a cop in uniform.īut this Officer Cipisi was getting under her skin. She was hot-headed and she knew it, and contained it within a fierce, quiet pride that had always stopped bad manners toward herself in their tracks before they started. Few people had dared cross Gina Crowley-Sanchez, ever, in her whole life. In this urgent, controversial book, Katha Pollitt reframes abortion as a common part of a woman's reproductive life, one that should be accepted as a moral right with positive social implications. Meanwhile, with each passing day, the rights upheld by the Supreme Court are being systematically eroded by state laws designed to end abortion outright. Even those who support a woman's right to an abortion often qualify their support by saying abortion is a "bad thing," an "agonizing decision," making the medical procedure so remote and radioactive that it takes it out of the world of the everyday, turning an act that is normal and necessary into something shameful and secretive. Wade ruling, "abortion" is still a word that is said with outright hostility by many, despite the fact that one in three American women will have terminated at least one pregnancy by menopause. Argues that abortion is a common part of a woman's reproductive life and should not be vilified, but instead accepted as a moral right that can be a force for social good But as word gets out that what he has dug up threatens to expose the theft of highly sensitive US technology, now being sold to terrorists and repressive regimes, new enemies close in. With the help of a small team of colleagues and his new girlfriend, Samantha Whyte-the chief investigator for the Northern Virginia Sheriff's Department, who has her own secrets to conceal-Nik follows a bloody trail of bodies from DC to the upper Midwest. As Nik tries to unravel the mystery at the heart of the explosion, he suddenly finds himself confronting domestic terrorists, rogue American and Chinese spies, mercenaries, and a brilliant but temperamental computer expert. That is, until a late-night explosion levels a high-tech office park-home to some of the nation's top clandestine programs-and provides Nik with an opportunity to reverse his fortunes. Relegated to scut work and the graveyard shift, Nik's career and emotions are in a tailspin. But a disruptive corporate merger and a vengeful boss quickly dash his plans. His new book Hack, is the first in his Nik Byron thriller series. Coming off a successful investigation into a major banking scandal, Newshound reporter Nik Byron arrives in Washington, DC, with high hopes for his career. Join us for a reading and signing with recent Mercer Island resident Mark Pawlosky, August 9th at 6 pm. Although Beckett did not overtly interfere, he kept tabs on her research, often making her feel “like a marionette whose strings he was pulling.” After her book was published, she found that she had made her own enemies among critics and scholars she calls Becketteers, who reviewed her book with “unrelenting hostility.” Suffering “a minor breakdown,” Bair thought the biography would be her last. “My friends and family will assist you and my enemies will find you soon enough.” During many years of research, she discovered the truth of his remark, as she interviewed scores of his friends, relatives, hangers-on, and vociferous enemies, all of whom she renders in lively detail. “I will neither help nor hinder you,” he told her. He replied immediately, agreeing to meet her in Paris. The author had just completed her doctoral dissertation on Beckett when she asked for his cooperation in writing his biography. A biographer recalls the challenges of writing her first books.īair ( Al Capone: His Life, Legacy, and Legend, 2016, etc.), who won a National Book Award for her first biography, of Samuel Beckett, and critical acclaim for her biography of Simone de Beauvoir, has been asked, time and again, “what were they really like?” In a candid and engrossing memoir, Bair creates unvarnished portraits of those two headstrong, demanding, and brilliant individuals as well as of her growth as a researcher, writer, and feminist.

Novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote about “The Great Stone Face.” Statesman Daniel Webster said, “Shoe makers hang out a gigantic shoe jewelers a monster watch, and the dentist hangs out a gold tooth but up in the Mountains of New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that there he makes men.” Through the years, the profile became the subject of paintings and literature.
