	CARTER, WILLIAM C. Marcel Proust a Life Yale University Press; New Haven, CT, 2000. First Printing. ISBN: 9780300081459. Bright, clean copy. Corners of boards pointed, no previous owner names or writting. Some photos. Just an outstanding biography! ; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 946 pp; This is the first comprehensive biography of Marcel Proust since George Painter's biography was published in 1959. Like Proust's masterpiece, A la recherche du temps perdu, the biography is structured as the story of the writer's slow and at times excruciatingly painful search for a vocation. Proust emerges from Carter's narrative as an extremely complicated, difficult and brilliant man. Carter goes into some detail to elucidate Proust's curious sexual identity - from his intense and often histrionic relationships with his male friends to his quasi-pathological attachment to his mother to the bizarre sexual fetishes that emerged in his visits to Parisian brothels. But the biography focuses firmly on Proust's development as an artist - the distracted years as a dilettantish member of Parisian high-society, the dabbling in journalism and translation and, finally, his emergence as one of the great literary voices of the twentieth century. This is a full, rich, deep, and all encompassing biography of one of the great writers in the world. It is also an elucidating cultural history of the times in which he lived..

	ESPOSITO, PHIL; GOLENBOCK, PETER Thunder and Lightning a No - B.S. Hockey Memoir McClelland & Stewart; Toronto, On, Canada, 2003. First Printing. ISBN: 0771030851. Tight binding, crisp pages, pointed corners. Now in mylar sleeve. ; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 294 pp; Jesus saves â€“ but Espo puts in the rebound in this raucous, ribald memoirAt a party marking the end of his third season with the Blackhawks, Phil Esposito told coach Billy Reay and GM Tommy Ivan that they had a great team, maybe even a dynasty, but that the two of them would screw it up.It was a classic Espo moment (and may have had something to do with his being traded to the Bruins): the big centre from the Soo who became one of hockeyâ€™s all-time leading scorers, has never been reluctant to speak his mind. In this rollicking hockey memoir, he reveals what it was like to play with other Hall of Famers like Howe and Hull and Orr. He recalls his acrimonious encounters with Allan Eagleson, the incredible intensity of the 1972 Canada-Russia series, the fabulous ride with the great Bruins teams of the early 1970s, and the tough years that followed with the New York Rangers.From being a player, Esposito went on to be a commentator, a coach, a general manager, and then founder and part-owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He saw it all: the booze, the drugs, the women, the wheeling and dealing, the good times and the camaraderie, the bad times and the back-stabbing. In telling what it was really like, Esposito takes readers into the boardrooms, back rooms â€“ and even the bedrooms â€“ of the men who make their lives in the NHL..

She muses at length about the relationships between men and women, offering provocative insights into the attitudes of American men toward sex, women and love.

	ESPOSITO, PHIL; GOLENBOCK, PETER Thunder and Lightning a No - B.S. Hockey Memoir McClelland & Stewart; Toronto, On, Canada, 2003. First Printing. ISBN: 0771030851. Tight binding, crisp pages, pointed corners. Now in mylar sleeve. ; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 294 pp; Jesus saves â€“ but Espo puts in the rebound in this raucous, ribald memoirAt a party marking the end of his third season with the Blackhawks, Phil Esposito told coach Billy Reay and GM Tommy Ivan that they had a great team, maybe even a dynasty, but that the two of them would screw it up.It was a classic Espo moment (and may have had something to do with his being traded to the Bruins): the big centre from the Soo who became one of hockeyâ€™s all-time leading scorers, has never been reluctant to speak his mind. In this rollicking hockey memoir, he reveals what it was like to play with other Hall of Famers like Howe and Hull and Orr. He recalls his acrimonious encounters with Allan Eagleson, the incredible intensity of the 1972 Canada-Russia series, the fabulous ride with the great Bruins teams of the early 1970s, and the tough years that followed with the New York Rangers.From being a player, Esposito went on to be a commentator, a coach, a general manager, and then founder and part-owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He saw it all: the booze, the drugs, the women, the wheeling and dealing, the good times and the camaraderie, the bad times and the back-stabbing. In telling what it was really like, Esposito takes readers into the boardrooms, back rooms â€“ and even the bedrooms â€“ of the men who make their lives in the NHL..

Firm, square unread copy in protective sleeve. ; B&W Photographs; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 378 pp; Doris Lessing joined the Communist Party in London, and here she explores the allure Communism held for artists, intellectuals, and social reformist idealists in the '50s. A fascinating meditation on the psychological, sociological and historical roots of a generation's behavior, Lessing offers insight into the ideological and political madness of the post-war era. Lessing also evokes the bohemian life she led in post-war London: her work in the theater, her romantic liaisons, her books, her single parenting and the tenor and texture of life in the '50s. Among those who appear in these pages are Clancy Sigal, Nelson Algren, Henry Kissinger, Kenneth Tynan and Bertrand Russell, to name a few. She muses at length about the relationships between men and women, offering provocative insights into the attitudes of American men toward sex, women and love. The last section of the memoir describes the writing of her most famous novel, The Golden Notebook. It offers a fascinating account of the creative process by which a literary masterpiece is conceived and executed.. Very Good+; Reprint; Hardcover in Very Good+ dust jacket; Minor DJ edge rub.
