Used; Very Good. Small remainder mark <br />Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction <br /> <br />A harvest and not a winnowing, this volume collects 103 stories, almost all of the short fiction that John Updike wrote between 1953 and 1975. "How rarely it can be said of any of our great American writers that they have been equally gifted in both long and short forms," reads the citation composed for John Updike upon his winning the 2006 Rea Award for the Short Story." Contemplating John Updike’s monumental achievement in the short story, one is moved to think of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, and perhaps William Faulkner — writers whose reputations would be as considerable, or nearly, if short stories had been all that they had written. From [his] remarkable early short story collections . . . through his beautifully nuanced stories of family life [and] the bittersweet humors of middle age and beyond . . . John Updike has created a body of work in the notoriously difficult form of the short story to set beside those of these distinguished American predecessors. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks are due to John Updike for having brought such pleasure and such illumination to so many readers for so many years" . 2004. TRADE PAPERBACK., Ballantine Books, 2004, 3, Louisville, KY: Sarabande Books, 2002. 1st Edition. Paperback. Collectible - Near Fine. 6"x9". 220 pgs. Blue sky w/black mound of coal on front. Cover and text by Charles Casey Martin. A-FP. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and bright. Not x-library, unclipped, & unmarked. 6 1/2" slits horizontally along spine on back of cover. Like a seam of coal, that mineral she knows so well, Kiki DeLancey is a valuable find, and a rare one as well: the self-taught writer who seems to have sprung fully formed out of nowhere. In the pages of Coal Miner's Holiday (mining jargon for a forced layoff), DeLancey introduces us to the culture and characters of coal-mining towns bordering the Ohio River. Though she has a B.A. in political science and English, DeLancey never took a writing course, never had a writing mentor. She learned to write by reading such masters as William Faulkner and Sherwood Anderson, then writing, and rewriting her own stories. And DeLancey is, first and foremost, a storyteller. She tells the stories of unseen American immigrants-Polish, Greek, Irish, and others-who worked under the earth, in the dark ...

Eudora Welty (1909-2001) and William Faulkner (1897-1962) were almost unquestionably Mississippi's leading literary lions during the twentieth century. Their influence on American literature is immeasurable. On William Faulkner brings together Welty's reviews, essays, lectures, and musings on Faulkner, including such gems as her reviews of Intruder in the Dust and The Selected Letters of William Faulkner, as well as her comments during her presentation of the Gold Medal to Faulkner during the National Institute of Arts and Letters awards ceremony in 1962. The collection also features an excerpt from a letter she wrote to the novelist Jean Stafford, telling of meeting Faulkner and of going sailing with him. Included too are Welty's impassioned defense of Faulkner's work--published as a letter to the New Yorker--and the obituary of the Nobel laureate that she wrote for the Associated Press. In addition, the book includes a cryptic postcard Faulkner wrote to Welty from Hollywood, plus six photographs, and a caricature of Faulkner drawn by Welty during the 1930s. Commenting on the place of both writers in contemporary literature, an essay by the noted literary scholar Noel Polk puts the collection in context and offers assessment and appreciation of their achievements in American literature. On William Faulkner is a valuable resource for exploring Faulkner's work and sensing Welty's critical voice. Her sharp critical eye and graceful prose make her an astute commentator on his legacy., University Press of Mississippi, 2003, 0, Harper & Row, NY [1987]. ‘First Edition'. First Edition.

Henry was in his lifetime-and possibly has been since his death-the most widely read writer in America. Like William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway, he has been honored by having a prestigious literary award-the 0. Henry Short Story Prize-named after him. But his very popularity has often worked against him in assigning him a place in the pantheon of American literature. This collection brings together a considerable selection of the work that won 0. Henry his millions of readers and also seeks to extend the limits of what we think of when we say the words "an 0. Henry story." For 0. Henry has perennial freshness: there's the voice, which is as smart and funny as a Damon Runyon story. There are the characters: the plucky shopgirls and grifters and would-be boulevardiers of "Transients in Arcadia," "A Service of Love," and "Innocents of Broadway," but also the less familiar cowboys and soldiers of fortune and society matrons of "The Pimienta Pancakes," "A Doubled-Dyed Deceiver," and "A Ghost of a Chance." And there are 0. Henry's evocations of place and atmosphere, which are always precise and arresting. Here, too, for the first time in any selection of 0. Henry's writings, is the complete Cabbages and Kings, the novel in stories that was 0. Henry's first published book. Set in a Latin American republic at the turn of the century, it's an engaging, often funny story of love and greed and chicanery. The result is a collection that provides a fresh view of 0. Henry while showing why he has always delighted such a wide audience. ., Book Of The Month, 1994, 3, New York: Oxford University Press, USA. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1996. Hardcover. 2.08 x 8.79 x 5.91 Inches. 696 pages. Edgar Allan Poe's "Murders in the Rue Morgue" launched the detective story in 1841. The genre began as a highbrow form of entertainment, a puzzle to be solved by a rational sifting of clues. In Britain, the stories became decidedly upper crust: the crime often commited in a world of manor homes and formal gardens, the blood on the Persian rug usually blue. But from the beginning, American writers worked important changes on Poe's basic formula, especially in language and locale. And with World War I, the Roaring '20s, the rise of organized crime and corrupt police with Prohibition, and the Great Depression, American detective fiction branched out in all directions, lead by writers such as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, who brought crime out of the drawing room and into the "mean streets" where it actually occured. In The Oxford Book of American Detective Stories, Tony Hillerman and Rosemary Herbert bring together thirty-four tales that illuminate both the evolution of crime fiction in the United States and America's unique contribution to this highly popular genre. Tracing its progress from elegant "locked room" mysteries, to the hard-boiled realism of the '30s and '40s, to the great range of styles seen today, this superb collection includes virtually all the great crime writers, including Erle Stanley Gardner, Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, Rex Stout, Ellery Queen, Ed McBain, Sara Paretsky, Sue Grafton, and Hillerman himself. There are also many delightful surprises: Bret Harte, for instance, offers a Sherlockian pastiche with a hero named Hemlock Jones, and William Faulkner blends local color, authentic dialogue, and dark, twisted pride in "An Error in Chemistry." We meet a wide range of sleuths, from armchair detective Nero Wolfe, to Richard Sale's journalist Daffy Dill, to Robert Leslie Bellem's wise-cracking Dan Turner, to Linda Barnes's six-foot, red-haired, taxi-driving female P.I., Carlotta Carlyle. And we sample a wide variety of styles, from tales with a strongly regional flavor, to hard-edged pulp fiction, to stories with a feminist perspective. Perhaps most important, the book offers a brilliant summation of America's signal contribution to crime fiction, highlighting the myriad ways in which we have reshaped this genre. The editors show how Raymond Chandler used crime, not as a puzzle to be solved, but as a spotlight with which he could illuminate the human condition; how Ed McBain, in "A Small Homicide," reveals a keen knowledge of police work as well as of the human sorrow which so often motivates crime; and how Ross Macdonald's Lew Archer solved crime not through blood stains and footprints, but through psychological insight into the damaged lives of the victim's family. And throughout, the editors provide highly knowledgeable introductions to each piece, written from the perspective of fellow writers and reflecting a life-long interest--not to say love--of this quintessentially American genre. American crime fiction is as varied and as democratic as America itself. Hillerman and Herbert bring us a goldmine of glorious stories that can be read for sheer pleasure, but that also illuminate how the crime story evolved from the drawing room to the back alley, and how it came to embrace every corner of our nation and every facet of our lives. ., Oxford University Press, USA, 1996, 4.5, London / Boston: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1973.
