Love Stories: A Literary Companion to Tennis

2 reviews
Adam Sexton

Citadel, 2003

True love, served up just right
This book is a delight for anyone who loves tennis...or literature...or both. Like a well-curated art exhibit, Mr. Sexton has assembled a fascinating collection of writing that, in one way or another, illuminates the sport of tennis and the worlds surrounding it. The array of authors could not be more broad, from Vladimir Nabokov to Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson (as well as a delightful piece by ...

Desperately Seeking Madonna: In Search of the Meaning of the World's Most Famous Woman

3 reviews

Delta, 1992

Pop culture criticism at its best!
Whether you're a devotee or detractor of the lady in question, "Desperately Seeking Madonna" never fails to entertain (and even educate). Sexton features an impressive array of contributors (where else can you find essays by both Camille Paglia and Henry Rollins?) and himself uses Madonna as a springboard for such thought-provoking questions as "does our culture need to pigeonhole women in order ...

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Wiley, 2008

Love, defiance and tragedy. Romeo and Juliet, a cursed love.
In a world locked behind Verona walls, the story of Romeo and Juliet questions the very meaning of love and the importance of it.. It puts forward the notion that a life without love is not worth living, and explains the decisions, the conflicts and tragedy that illustrate the journey in between. Trapped within an ongoing feud that denies the love that Romeo and Juliet posses, it is a ...

McGraw-Hill, 2005

Pragmatic, accesible and entertaining writing guide
I stumbled on this book browsing in B&N and couldn't put it down...so I bought it, read it and later even enrolled in a course. Most useful writing book I've encountered including those by Eudora Welty, Natalie Goldberg, Anne LaMott, Steven King, Orson Scott Card, Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton, Noah Lukeman, Lou Stanek, Marcia Golub, Robert Olen Butler and Francine Prose. All those folks had ...

A Farewell to Arms (Cliffs Notes)

2 reviews
Adam Sexton

Cliffs Notes, 2000

Cliffs Notes helpful but does not replace reading the book
Quick and short synopsis to the book's story. Read the book first and get a friend who has read it or someone with a good argumentative view to bounce the ideas in Cliffs Notes with you.

Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

Wiley, 2008

Watch Out for Caesar's Ghost!
The themes that Shakespeare dealt with are universal. Yet, the biggest complaint that many people have when reading or discussing Shakespeare is the language: "People don't talk like that.", "Why don't they speak in English?", "I can't understand a word of what they just said." are just a sampling of complaints I've heard when attempting to teach Shakespeare to high school students. I try ...

Shakespeare's Hamlet

Wiley, 2008

A Vibrant Version of a Familiar Favorite
This little version of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' is a sparkling gem, thanks to the dynamic illustrations by Tintin Pantoja. Since this play is a familiar favorite of mine I really didn't need another copy of it, but the beguiling cover art convinced me to indulge, and I wasn't disappointed. The text inside is pure Shakespeare - the play has been skillfully pruned, but thankfully not ...

Shakespeare's Macbeth

3 reviews
William Shakespeare, Adam Sexton, ...

Wiley, 2008

WILL WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS BOOK
A phenomenal, first-rate transcription of Macbeth, with state-of-the-art drawings. Far superior to Cliff Notes or the old Classic Comics. Eve Grandt's masterful drawings provide the best art work I have ever seen and really bring this renown play to life, espcially for those unfamiliar with this immemorial work. Only the most closed-minded provincial person would quibble with this adaptation.

Tennis Shorts: Great Writing on Tennis and Life

2 reviews

Citadel, 2005

A Game of Life
"Tennis Shorts" is not only for lovers of the game. Adam Sexton, an avid tennis fan himself, has compiled a book with twenty-two stories about tennis. Who knew that so many well known authors (including Sexton) had written about tennis? The thing is, "Tennis Shorts" is not just about tennis. It's about life. And tennis. And how the game has so many metaphors for what life has in store for ...

Delta, 1995

Very good book.
I got this when it came out in the 90's. A collection of articles on Hip Hop. It was a good read, had varied topics and opinions, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in Hip Hop.
