Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]First Printing. Format is approximately 5.75 inches by 8.75 inches. viii, [2], 238, [2] pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads April 13, 1999 For Tom, I've enjoyed having you in my class. All best wishes, Fabienne Marsh. In The Moralist of the Alphabet Streets, Fabienne Marsh, whose novel Long Distances drew rave reviews when it first appeared, introduces us to a memorable young woman and skillfully immerse us in the hilarious, closely woven messiness of neighborhood life, while also reminding us of how messy the world is outside the Alphabet Streets. In Meredith Saunders, Fabienne Marsh has created a complex woman who looks with more than usual perceptiveness into the nature of love, loyalty, age, adolescence, and human frailty. What happens when all of them--boyfriends, girlfriends, sisters, grandmothers, stepfathers, the whole crew--go to the beach near Provincetown provides a rousing and revealing climax to a stunning work of fiction. Meredith's parents are absent on a long-overdue vacation. Her sister Maria has a boyfriend from the Midwest but is drawn to the charm and considerable intelligence of Custer's stepfather. Another sister, Lenore, is separated from her husband and living at home with her two children. Her eighty-six year old grandmother, Grace, is carrying on a flirtation with the grocer. Meredith is worried about Custer because he hasn't gotten over the death of his father during the Grenada intervention. Custer is worried about Meredith because she was until recently a very sick lady, and it's still too early to be sure the illness won't strike again. Fabienne Marsh is the author of four novels and numerous works of non-fiction. Her film credits have appeared on dozens of documentary films and she has taught writing at both Johns Hopkins University and the University of Minnesota. At Williams College, she studied with John Gardner and took a double major in English and political science. After a five-year stint with the documentary unit at ABC News, during which she enrolled in the Columbia University Writer's Program under a Woolrich Fellowship, Marsh won a journalism fellowship and studied international relations at The London School of Economics. Upon her return to the States, Marsh worked on television documentaries, while publishing her critically-acclaimed novels, Long Distances and The Moralist of the Alphabet Streets, followed by her third novel, Single, White, Cave Man. Marsh has served as a writer-consultant for Nickelodeon, HBO, Turner Broadcasting and Public Broadcasting (WNET and WETA). Her lighter works of non-fiction include Dave'sWorld, with co-author Michael Cader about David Letterman, and the coffee-table book, Saturday Night Live: The First Twenty Years, for which Marsh interviewed Candice Bergen, Steve Martin, Chris Rock, and other cast members. Marsh's freelance articles have appeared in The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Economist, the International Herald Tribune, Southbay magazine and Poetry Review (London). Her radio essays aired on MPR's "Marketplace" and WHYY. Derived from a Kirkus review: A coming-of-age suburban summer seen through the eyes of a survivor of childhood leukemia: an story of family life and romantic complications. Meredith Saunders lost a year in school because of her illness; now, at 18, while she strives to be wise, she's inexperienced and sometimes behaves more like a 12-year-old. In the course of one summer when her parents are away in Europe, Meredith copes with: grandmother Grace, who talks incessantly, cheats at Scrabble and is aiming at marriage number three; sister Lenore, who has left an alcoholic husband; sister Maria, who's torn between a workaholic boyfriend and a desperately smitten married man--who happens to be the stepfather of Meredith's beloved friend Custer, who instead of falling for Meredith is carrying on a hot affair with Latin bombshell Carmencita, who would rather be Meredith's friend than Custer's lover.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Robert S. Ross (Author photograph) (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. 240 pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads: April 13, 1999, For Tom, With All best wishes for his literary effort. All best, Fabienne Marsh. This is the author first novel. As this was catalogued there were very few signed or inscribed copies available. The contents are: Chapter one: London: Michaelmas, Lent, and Summer; Chapter two: New York: First Semester, Second Semester; and Chapter three: Summer, and Fall. This is a novel of the pressures of modern marriage--love, lust, faith, betrayal--follows the lives of the Hammonds--Michael, a young professor of English, and Kate, a film producer--through a one year separation in which their marriage dramatically changes. What makes this book all the more refreshing is its highly innovative use of an old form, that of the epistolary novel. The voices of the central characters are skillfully woven, each one distinct and memorable: Elaine, the neighbor in search of a husband, Kate's wickedly tart-tongued mother; Robert, the older professor who introduced Kate and Michael; and even the family dentist. Fabienne Marsh fills these letters with humor, wisdom, keen observation and haunting lyricism--and the result is a chorus of modern life that is a tour de force from a new and sublimely gifted writer.
