Condition: Very Good. Sarah Dunant's Mapping the Edge explores the best of two worlds, offering r eaders a suspenseful, eerie plot and a delicately nuanced exploration of th e kinds of prickly, challenging ideas that, sadly, usually lie outside the province of the traditional thriller. When Anna decides to take an impromptu trip to Italy, she packs her bag, le aves her 6-year-old daughter, Lily, at home with close friends, and steps o nto the plane. She's always been a woman of action, and her personal and pr ofessional lives have been filled to overflowing recently. So her friends P aul and Estella think nothing of the jaunt--it's a well-deserved break, a w eekend for psychic refreshment, a brief step outside reality. But a disappearance? When Anna fails to return, Paul and Estella make excuses, to themselves and to Lily. When the weekend stretches toward a week, the possibility of her permanent absence becomes hauntingly real. Dunant takes that absence and weaves together a pair of possible "explanations," playing out alternating scenarios of seduction (Anna in the throes of a disturbingly passionate, illicit affair) and abduction (Anna in the grasp of a stranger whose cordiality turns gradually to madness).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Learning to Drive ⢠Now a major motion picture starring Patricia Clarkson a nd Ben Kingsley Celebrated for her award-winning political columns, criticism, and poetry, Katha Pollitt now shows us another side of her talent. Learning to Drive is a surprising, revealing, and entertaining collection of essays drawn from the author's own life. With deep feeling and sharp insight, Pollitt writes about the death of her father; the sad but noble final days of a leftist study group of which she was a member; and the betrayal and heartbreak inflicted by a man who seriou sly deceived her. (Her infinitely patient, gentle driving instructor points out her weakness--"Observation, Katha, observation!") She also offers a ca ndid view of her preoccupation with her ex-lover's haunting presence on the Internet, and her search there for a secret link that might provide a reve lation about him that will Explain Everything. Other topics include the differences between women and men--"More than half the male members of the Donner party died of cold and starvation, but thre e quarters of the females survived, saved by that extra layer of fat we spe nd our lives trying to get rid of"--and the practical implications of polit ical theory: "What if socialism--all that warmhearted folderol about commun ity and solidarity and sharing was just an elaborate con job, a way for men to avoid supporting their kids?" Learning to Drive demonstrates that while Katha Pollitt is undeniably one of our era's most profound obser.

Sailing Alone Around the Room, by America's Poet Laureate, Billy Collins, contains both new poems and a generous gathering from his earlier collections The Apple That Astonished Paris, Questions About Angels, The Art of Drowning, and Picnic, Lightning. These poems show Collins at his best, performing the kinds of distinctive poetic maneuvers that have delighted and fascinated so many readers. They may begin in curiosity and end in grief; they may start with irony and end with lyric transformation; they may, and often do, begin with the everyday and end in the infinite. Possessed of a unique voice that is at once plain and melodic, Billy Collins has managed to enrich American poetry while greatly widening the circle of its audience.

Inspired by these few words, spoken by Josephine Baker at the 1963 March on Washington, MacArthur "Genius Grant" Fellow and bestselling author Hani f Abdurraqib has written a profound and lasting reflection on how Black per formance is inextricably woven into the fabric of American culture. Each mo ment in every performance he examines--whether it's the twenty-seven second s in "Gimme Shelter" in which Merry Clayton wails the words "rape, murder," a schoolyard fistfight, a dance marathon, or the instant in a game of spad es right after the cards are dealt--has layers of resonance in Black and wh ite cultures, the politics of American empire, and Abdurraqib's own persona l history of love, grief, and performance. Touching on Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Billy Dee Williams, the Wu-Tan Clan, Dave Chappelle, and more, Abdurraqib writes prose brimming with jubilation and pain. With care and generosity, he explains the poignancy of performances big and small, each one feeling intensel.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Revised Edition. Book Condition: Very Good, just a small crease to cover. Paris, 1940. The civilized, upper-class life of film producer Jean Casson is derailed by the German occupation of Paris, but Casson learns that with enough money, compromise, and connections, one need not deny oneself the pleasures of Parisian life. Somewhere inside Casson, though, is a stubborn romantic streak. When he's offered the chance to take part in an operation of the British secret service, this idealism gives him the courage to say yes. A simple mission, but it goes wrong, and Casson realizes he must gamble everything-his career, the woman he loves, life itself. Here is a brilliant re-creation of France-its spirit in the moment of defeat, its valor in the moment of rebirth.
