Chronicling the mysterious life of one of the most extraordinary American writers of the twentieth century, Redemption tells us the revelatory story of Henry Roth, whose first work, Call It Sleep, is regarded as the finest novel of the American immigrant experience. Mush has been written about Roth's inestimable contribution to American literature, but Redemption is the first book that traces Roth's unique story - from his birth in 1906 in a virtual shtetl in the disintegrating Astro-Hungarian Empire to his phoenix-like emergence as a literary curiosity in New Mexico just before his death in 1995. Includes an Index. "Henry Roth has only two peers in American-English Jewish fiction, Nathanael West and Philip Roth. Steven G. Kellman's poignant and skill biography is worthy of Roth; it memorializes the ultimately productive existence that fused its suffering into authentic aesthetic dignity." - Harold Bloom ISBN: 0393057798., W.

SIDONIE-GABRIELLE COLETTE was the twentieth century's first modern woman.She arrived in the salons of Paris around 1900 as the provincial child bride of a notorious rake and brilliant literary impressario,Willy,who signed her first novels - the 'Claudines' - and claimed them as his own.They invented the erotically reckless teenage girl as we know her,becoming the greatest French bestsellers of their,and probably all,time.                                                                                         When this tumultuous marriage ended,Colette went off with a high-born woman lover,the virile Marquise de Belboeuf,and embarked on a flamboyant stage career.She bared her breast to raucous applause in the French music-hall.She became a celebrity of the lesbian demi-monde.The Belle Epoque aesthetes found her irresistible,and she explored their addictions to forbidden pleasures along with her own.While building a reputation for hugely popular fiction,drama,memoir, criticism and scandal,Colette deserted Lesbos to marry Baron Henry de Jouvenel, one of Paris's most influential (and sexually charismatic) political journalists.She was the first woman to report from the front lines of World War 1. She edited the literary pages of a major daily.At forty,she had her only (much neglected) child.At forty-seven,she seduced her stepson.In 1935,a reader's poll named Colette the greatest living master of French prose.Until her death in 1954,she continued to rewrite the rules for loving,working,and ageing.And she never ceased to shock and disarm her public.                                                                                           Colette was a paradox of ferocity and seductiveness,of impure appetites and Olympian vitality,of sexual dissidence and social conservatism.Her art was never more pristine than in her last,anguished years,when she charmed the world with Gigi.At the end of the century,her life and work still have the power to challenge norms and to open eyes.They have found in Judith Thurman a peerlessly witty and penetrating chronicler.                                                                                     'No one has written wit less cant about sex than Colette,and no one has written about Colette better than Judith Thurman.This essential biography by a stylish writer of great sympathetic understanding and intellectual authority will disappoint the ideologues and enthral everyone else,as it did me.' - Philip Roth.             Since April 2013 and again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances, dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk,because of the heavier weight/ value of this item for correct,insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!, LONDON.BLOOMSBURY,1999., New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1972.

From the Dust Jacket: "Long before there were creative-writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says Francine Prose. In READING LIKE A WRITER, Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writers -- Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhov -- and discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is deeply moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's MIDDLEMARCH. She looks to John Le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield for clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted. Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, READING LIKE A WRITER will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart.". Signed by the Author (signature only).
