The Big Bow Mystery3 reviews
Israel Zangwill

Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007

Historically significant and a great read

The fact that the mystery disappears after the second chapter in no way detracts from the joy of this book. From widowed boarding house attendants to freeloading artists to a detective that might as well be the anti-Sherlock Holmes, this is one of the funniest and meanest books to come out of the ...

Anais Nin

Harvest/HBJ Book, 1970

A coherent extension of the first volume

+ Anais is always searching

Anais Nin began a letter to her father, on the ship that carried her, her mother and brothers, away from him, away from Europe and to New York City. She was 11 at the time.

The Seven Who Fled2 reviews
Frederic Prokosch

Farrar Straus Giroux, 1984

A worthy follow-up to _The Asiatics_

+ What Harlan Ellison has said about this novel...

Frederic Prokosch is the author I would most wish to save from what Gore Vidal has called "time's winged wastebasket." Born in 1908, his career extended from the early 1930's to the 1980's. He combines an extraordinary talent for description and a lush romantic prose style that never crosses the ...

Ray Bradbury

Avon, 2002

Pure poetry!

+ A valuable addition to his works
+ An insane rolicking ride

This is the first Ray Bradbury book i've read. *cringes* But it was the most beautiful story i've heard in a long time. Mr. Bradbury knows how to paint the most vivid pictures in ones mind with his words. The dream-like atmosphere is enough to lull one into a mind-set where truly, a family such as ...

Spanning from 1887 to a month before his death in 1910, The Journal of Jules Renard is a unique autobiographical masterpiece that, though celebrated abroad and cited as a principle influence by writers as varying as Somerset Maugham and Donald Barthelme, remains largely undiscovered in the United States. Throughout his journal, Renard develops not only his artistic convictions but also his ...
