But perhaps we are telling our little story too gravely. There are always great arguments at hand for a true action, even for the writing of a few pages. There is nothing but seems near it and prompts it, -- the sphere in the ecliptic, the sap in the apple tree, -- every fact, every appearance seem to persuade to it.

Never-before-collected, vintage Vonnegut."Vonnegut said that his last book, Timequake (1997), would be his last, but no one as imaginative and in love with language and story can resist the lure of the page, and it’s obvious that he had a grand time working on this collection of his vintage stories. [Bagombo Snuff Box] resurrects Vonnegut’s earliest efforts, stories written during the fifties and sixties for such popular venues as The Saturday Evening Post and Collier’s. In his engagingly autobiographical introduction, Vonnegut describes his stints as a Chicago journalist and

With this, his best-selling and most critically acclaimed collection ever, Ellison celebrates four decades of brilliant, outrageous writing. The award-winning novella "Mefisto in Onyx" is the centerpiece of an irreverent and wildly imaginative book that the San Diego Union-Tribune called "electrifying...Ellison is back, as unsettling as ever."

A COLLECTION OF UNPUBLISHED POEMS FROM ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE POETIC VOICES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY of an evening real as paint on canvas. The kind that makes me ache to have the gift for dusting off clichés: not, make it new, but, see it, hear it, freshly. The context (good morrow, haven’t we met in this context       before?) in which, squelch, a brush lifted a load of pigment from the thick glass palette, and, concentrated, as though he saw neither the work in hand nor the subject, the painter began.

In 1951, Jacques Barzun, W. H. Auden, and Lionel Trilling joined together to form the editorial board of the Readers’ Subscription Book Club. Thus began a venture unique in the annals of American culture. Never before or since have three such eminent intellectuals collaborated to bring books to the attention of the general public. Now, a half century later, A Company of Readers tells the story of this extraordinary partnership and presents for the first time a selection of essays from the publications of the Readers’ Subscription Book Club and its successor, the Mid-Century Bo

This gathering of short fiction and essays traces the artistic development of the masterful southern stylist and storyteller Ed McClanahan. In this "autobiography of a voice," the earliest stories are gloomy tales of existential despair, full of flashing neon signs, fly-specked mirrors, and "characters whose eyes could be likened in various ways to black holes." How McClanahan’s writing evolved into the ribald comedy for which he is well-loved is a mystery unveiled in his fascinating ars poetica, "Empathy Follows Sympathy." McClanahan’s nonfiction includes firsthand account
