Galantière - The Lost...

Mark I Lurie

Kirkus Reviews
A well-written, comprehensively researched account of one man with connections to key players in literature and politics throughout the 1900s. ...Lurie has produced a substantial, thoughtful biography of a man previously known only through his appearances in the papers of more famous individuals, acknowledging his contributions and placing him in historical context...
Midwest Book Review
Impressively researched, extraordinarily informative, exceptionally well written, organized and presented, " Galantière: The Lost Generation's Forgotten Man" is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to both community and academic library 20th Century American Biography collections.
Rosanna Warren. Distinguished Service Professor, Univ. of Chicago
Galantière could have sprung full-grown from a novel by Saul Bellow: a fantastical creature whose most successful fiction was himself.
Publishers Weekly
Lurie's dutiful biography of Lewis Galantière (1895-1977), his first cousin once removed, tells a clear-cut tale of a man who crossed paths with Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Hemingway, and James Joyce, among many other literary notables, helping them in significant ways... …an appealing portrait of a man who made his own way among the literati of his day.
The Library Journal
...Lurie succeeds in constructing a thorough and well-rounded portrait that should earn its subject wider recognition —especially among readers interested in American history and diplomacy.
H. R. Stoneback. Distinguished Professor of English. SUNY and Past Pres. of the Hemingway Society
Mark Lurie's impeccably researched, and amply documented biography unearths valuable neglected details of the Hemingway- Galantière friendship. This valuable portrait of Galantière is a compelling tale, well-told for the first time.

Fastovski's Tales of Hampstead -...

Wallace Fields

Imagine that Isaac Babel’s Cossacks wassail together with Runyonesque Liverpool Jews outside the plate-glass window of a Hampstead café where a Klezmer band is playing to a packed and tea-drinking congregation of jazzmen, Hasidic scholars, surrealists, old soldiers, and retired 
strippers; and you have the tone and temperature of this unique and unclassifiable memoir – no, not memoir, more a stream-of-consciousness novella – no, not a novella but a piece of autobiographical fiction – no, not autobiography but a picaresque drama conquered from the 
unreliable and fertile brain of the eponymous Fastovski.And who is Fastovski? Is he real or invented? Is he perhaps the alter-ego of real-life jazz pianist, Klezmer swinger, big band leader and flaneur, Wallace Fields, who stares at us from the book’s frontispiece in shades, Diaghilev coat and moustache, over a cup of strong black coffee? 
Fastovski’s not telling and anyway, who cares.This is a book to be devoured, disseminated, denounced, and delighted in. It belongs to all who think art and life are one and that the Arch-Savant of Canterbury, Issy Bonn, Rashid the Manic Berber Chef of NW3, and Mrs Karl Popper, have an equal claim on history. I haven’t had such a good time since I shared Sir Ralph Richardson’s motorbike with a parrot and a striking grandmother clock.Piers PlowrightAugust 2008

Places I've Taken My Body

Molly McCully Brown

In seventeen intimate essays, poet Molly McCully Brown explores living within and beyond the limits of a body--in her case, one shaped since birth by cerebral palsy, a permanent and often painful movement disorder.  
 
In spite of--indeed, in response to--physical constraints, Brown leads a peripatetic life: the essays comprise a vivid travelogue set throughout the United States and Europe, ranging from the rural American South of her childhood to the cobblestoned streets of Bologna, Italy. Moving between these locales and others, Brown constellates the subjects that define her inside and out: a disabled and conspicuous body, a religious conversion, a missing twin, a life in poetry. As she does, she depicts vividly for us not only her own life but a striking array of sites and topics, among them Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the world's oldest anatomical theatre, the American Eugenics movement, and Jerry Falwell's Liberty University. Throughout, Brown offers us the gift of her exquisite sentences, woven together in consideration, always, of what it means to be human--flawed, potent, feeling.  
‘These remarkable essays invite us to look long and hard at our own interior landscapes, and to negotiate exterior ones with as much grace and gratitude as we can muster’ Eliza Griswold 
 
'Urgent, compelling and lyrically, luminously beautiful.' Psychologies Magazine 
 
Molly McCully Brown received her MFA from the University of Mississippi, and is a graduate of Stanford University and Simon's Rock of Bard College. She has published poems in Gulf Coast, Image, Kenyon Review, and elsewhere.
