Ali, Monica

Brick Lane

Near fine/VGC. Doubleday/Ted Smart, 2003. First edition-11th printing. Pictorial hardback in near fine condition, with Dj(two small watermarks on the outer and inner edges of the front Dj cover, a couple of creases and nicks on the Dj cover) in VGC. Nice and clean pages as new with two ink marks on the outer edges, light shelf wear on the Dj cover. Nice and clean book except for the watermarks on the Dj cover. 414pp. Price un-clipped. From Publishers Weekly: The immigrant world Ali chronicles in this penetrating, unsentimental debut has much in common with Zadie Smith's scrappy, multicultural London, though its sheltered protagonist rarely leaves her rundown East End apartment block where she is surrounded by fellow Bangladeshis. After a brief opening section set in East Pakistan-Nazneen's younger sister, the beautiful Hasina, elopes in a love marriage, and the quiet, plain Nazneen is married off to an older man-Ali begins a meticulous exploration of Nazneen's life in London, where her husband has taken her to live. Chanu fancies himself a frustrated intellectual and continually expounds upon the tragedy of immigration to his young wife (and anyone else who will listen), while letters from downtrodden Hasina provide a contrast to his idealized memories of Bangladesh. Nazneen, for her part, leads a relatively circumscribed life as a housewife and mother, and her experience of London in the 1980s and '90s is mostly indirect, through her children (rebellious Shahana and meek Bibi) and her variously assimilated neighbors. The realistic complexity of the characters is quietly stunning: Nazneen shrugs off her passivity at just the right moment, and the supporting cast-Chanu, the ineffectual patriarch; Nazneen's defiant and struggling neighbor, Razia (proud wearer of a Union Jack sweatshirt); and Karim, the foolish young Muslim radical with whom Nazneen eventually has an affair-are all richly drawn. By keeping the focus on their perceptions, Ali comments on larger issues of identity and assimilation without drawing undue attention to the fact, even gracefully working in September 11. Carefully observed and assured, the novel is free of pyrotechnics, its power residing in Ali's unsparing scrutiny of its hapless, hopeful protagonists. Near Fine/Very Good. ISBN: 9780385604840

Anderson, Kevin J.

Ai! Pedrito! When Intelligence Goes Wrong

Near fine condition. Bridge Publications, 1998. First US edition-first printing(10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). Tan hardback(gilt lettering to the spine, small ink mark on the front cover, small crease on the edge of the spine) with Dj(two nicks and creases on the edges of the Dj cover), both in near fine condition. Nice and clean pages with a couple ink marks and nicks on the outer edges, small nicks on the edges of the pages, pages are rough cut on the outer edges. Nice and clean book with a small ink mark inside the Dj cover. 370pp. Price un-clipped. A collectable first edition-first printing. From Publishers Weekly: An original story by Hubbard (Battlefield Earth), who's deceased, has been expanded into a novel by Anderson (several X-Files novels), with mixed results. The original story, according to Sherman's foreword, is based on Hubbard's involvement in U. S. intelligence operations, particularly in Latin America. Pedrito Miraflores, a swashbuckling Che Guevara type, is the exact physical double for painfully straight (and excruciatingly bored) U. S. Navy lieutenant Tom Smith. A Russian-Cuban plot leads to their switching places, whereupon they proceed to make love to each other's girlfriends, alternately sabotage and uphold each other's causes, and join forces against the CIA and the FBI. Parts of this book are just as zanily satiric as Hubbard's celebrated lampoon of pulp writing, Typewriter in the Sky, and, as you'd expect from both Hubbard and Anderson, the pacing is brisk and the action plentiful. The central conceit wobbles under the load of a full novel, however, and too often the satire slides into silliness or relies on gender and ethnic stereotypes. Near Fine/Near Fine.
