Kirkus Review: Gilchrist's fiction, from the bright stories of In the Land of Dreamy Dreams to the feverish longueurs of her novel The Annunciation, depend almost entirely upon the vengeful high spirits of well-to-do, very spoiled Southern girls and women. Willfulness is all, whether manifesting itself in 14-year-old Rhoda Manning's war of resolve with her father over her smoking habits ("Music"") or Crystal King's sabotage of her Texas brother's big-game ranch ("Traceleen, She's Still Talking"). Elsewhere, a mÃnage à trois develops with the male cousin of one of two girls solely, it seems, because the girls are both flying high on diet pills; a woman's long and very opportune madness and confinement (""Crazy, Crazy, Now Showing Everywhere") provides the most interest to be found in an overripe household. In fact, the majority of Gilchrist's protagonists are… Leer más

About The Book: Not A Reprint. Selfishness — a virtue? Ayn Rand chose this book's provocative title because she was on a mission to overcome centuries of demonization. "In popular usage," Rand writes, "the word 'selfishness' is a synonym of evil; the image it conjures is of a murderous brute who tramples over piles of corpses to achieve his own ends . . . and pursues nothing but the gratification of the mindless whims of any immediate moment. "Yet the exact meaning and dictionary definition of the word 'selfishness' is: concern with one's own interests."This concept does not include a moral evaluation; it does not tell us whether concern with one's own interests is good or evil; nor does it tell us what constitutes man's actual interests. It is the task of ethics to answer such… Leer más

About the book: In the latest installment in this critically acclaimed series, Sharon McCone is hired to investigate one of San Luis Obispo County's most puzzling cold cases. A generation ago, Laurel Greenwood, a housewife and artist, inexplicably vanished, leaving her young daughter alone. Now, new evidence suggests that the missing woman may have led a strange double life. But before McCone can penetrate the tangled mystery, she must first solve a second disappearance--that of her client, the now grown daughter of Laurel Greenwood. The case, which forces Sharon to explore the darker sides of two marriages, comes uncomfortably close on the heels of her own marriage to Hy Ripinsky, and she begins to doubt the wisdom of her impulsive trip to the Reno wedding chapel.

This book, containing all 600 of Burma-Shave's roadside rhymes, highlights a few of them with amusing drawings. "Beginning with a few sets of signs along Highway 65 in Minnesota, this fabulous and funny "commercial Mother Goose" grew into a national institution numbering over 7000 sets in 43 states. It was that miracle of advertising - a campaign that made everybody happy. Not "hard sell" nor "soft sell, " rather it was a "friendly sell" that kept the cash registers ringing with coin while the customers rang with laughter. This is fun Americana, to take you back along some twisty, two-lane, blacktop trail past a contented farmer's pasture proclaiming: His face was smooth / and cool as ice / and oh Louise / He smelled so nice / Burma-Shave.

Kirkus Review: Voices speak, faces appear, moments and images come and go," softly, for the most part, in this first person retrospective of Benjamin Federov's life as he watches his youngster during a ball game. The almost nine innings add up to some fifty years and they are gravid with a sense of mood and memory. Actually there's something of the sweet-sharp nostalgia of a much younger Shaw (i.e. Girls in Their Summer Dresses). There are lots of girls here too all through Federov's life-- in school; in college; at the start of the war when he met and quickly married Peggy; during it- "a war is a long time"- when there was Leah; and after when he began to feel "surrounded"" by Peggy. Then too there are childhood scenes in a Russian-Jewish first generation "mespucheh"; others of the death of his father; a summer at camp; a wretched evening at a country… Leer más

Of all the personalities associated with Anne Frank, the most important figure, without whom Anne Frank would never have been able to write her diary, is perhaps the least known. He is Victor Kugler, the Mr. Kraler of the diary. The principal business partner of Otto Frank, Victor Kugler assumed managerial control of the Franks' Amsterdam spice-importing business when Nazi persecution forced the Frank family into hiding. It was Victor Kugler who kept the business going and obtained food rations under what was the harshest German wartime occupation in all of Western Europe. Without Victor Kugler, Anne Frank and her family would have starved to death a month after going into hiding.
For this heroism, Victor Kugler himself was arrested and sent to a series of German labor camps in Holland where he survived by his wits and… Leer más
