| DOUGLAS, MARY STONEMAN; MCCARTHY, KEVIN M. (EDITOR) Nine Florida Stories By Marjory Stoneman Douglas Softcover. University Press of Florida; 1990; Crisp, new. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap. ; Florida Sand Dollar Books; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; The subjects that would fire Marjory Stoneman Douglas’s enthusiasm for the rest of her life first appeared in her short fiction published in the 1920s. Florida’s most celebrated environmentalist, the author of The Everglades: River of Grass, wrote even then about protecting South Florida’s fragile ecosystem and the state’s endangered species, about the dangers of short-sighted land development, and about Florida history. The nine stories in this first collection take place in a scattering of South Florida settings--Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, the Tamiami Trail, the Keys, the Everglades—and reveal the drama of hurricanes and plane crashes, of kidnappers, escaped convicts, and smugglers. Editor Kevin McCarthy relates each story to Douglas’s life and points out the autobiographical touches which surface frequently in her stories. He is the author of several books, including: Florida Stories, Florida Lighthouses, and More Florida Stories.. Fine. ISBN: 0813009944.

| FORD, RICHARD A Multitude of Sins Hardcover. Knopf; First US Edition; 2002; A crisp unblemished copy in like jacket. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; One of the most celebrated—and unflinching—chroniclers of modern life now explores, in this masterful collection of short stories, the grand theme of intimacy, love, and their failures. And only a storyteller of Richard Ford’s remarkable agility, insight, and candor could envision with such felicity our most fallible human efforts to achieve what we consider most important with one another: to be faithful and sincere, empathetic and patient, to be honest and passionate and finally loving toward those we care for or merely, if desperately, desire.As in all of Ford’s work, the settings are as distinct as the Connecticut countryside is from New Orleans, or a Michigan ski resort from Grand Central Station. Yet in each he is drawn to liaisons in and out and to the sides of marriage. An illicit visit to the Grand Canyon reveals a vastness even more profound. An exacting career woman celebrates Christmas with her adamantly post-nuclear family. A couple weekending in Maine try to recapture the ardor that has disappeared, both gradually and suddenly, from their life together. A boy confronts his estranged father on a hunting trip and finds a disappointment that will change him forever. As they drive through a spring evening, a young wife confesses to her husband the affair she had with the host of the dinner party they’re about to join.It is within such relations, these extraordinary stories suggest, that our entire sense of right and wrong is enacted, and the rigorous intensity Richard Ford brings to these vivid, unforgettable dramas marks this as his most powerfully arresting book to date—confirming the judgment of the New York Times Book Review that “nobody now writing looks more like an American classic.”.
