PINCKNEY, DARRYL. Come back in September: a literary education on West Sixty-Seventh Street, Manhattan. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2022, stated First Edition, and 1st printing number line starting with 1, 419pp., . "Critic and writer Darryl Pinckney recalls his friendship and apprenticeship with Elizabeth Hardwick and Barbara Epstein and the introduction they offered him to the New York literary world. Pinckney's education in Hardwick's orbit took place in the context of the cultural movements then sweeping New York. In addition, through his peers and former classmates such as Felice Rosser, Jim Jarmusch, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lucy Sante, Howard Brookner, and Nan Goldin--Pinckney witnessed the coming together of the New Wave scene in the East Village. He experienced the avantgarde life at the same time as he was discovering the sexual freedom brought by gay liberation. It was his time for hope. In Come Back in September, Pinckney recalls his introduction to New York and to the writing life. The critic and novelist intimately captures this revolutionary, brilliant, and troubled period in American letters. Elizabeth Hardwick was not only his link to the intellectual heart of New York but also a source of continuous support and of inspiration--in the way she worked, her artistry, the beauty of her voice. Through his memories of the city and of Hardwick, we see the emergence and evolution of Pinckney himself as a writer.". ISBN 9780374126650.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1995). 1995 1st edition. 8vo (157 x 240mm). Ppx,374. Colour and b/w photographs. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Some spotting and browning. Good-plus in dust-wrapper. An insider's account of the fight against poaching and the tiger trade in the Far East. "While intelligence services around the world unite and vast sums are spent fighting the war against drugs and illegal weapons, there are no top secret agencies fighting the organised crime against nature. This highly dangerous investigative work is done by only a handful of individuals around the world. Michael Day is one of them. With an almost reckless disregard for his own safety, he regularly slips quietly behind the scenes using the latest covert surveillance technology to penetrate the defence of ruthless smuggling networks. .Fight for the Tiger is an enthralling adventure; an essentially human tale of courage, ingenuity and determination that shows how one man, changing the direction of his life, survived death threats, disease and near financial ruin to delve deep into a gangster-dominated underworld, in a passionate struggle to save the wild tiger from extinction." As good as any crime novel. .
