Soft cover. Zustand: As New. First Harper Perennial paperback edition published 2019, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in As New condition. "In BOOKENDS, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon offers a compilation of pieces about books--age-old classics as well as his own--that presents a unique look into…his literary origins and influences, the literature that shaped his taste and formed his ideas about writing and reading. [] Chabon asks why anyone would write an introduction or, for that matter, read one. His own daughter Rose prefers to skip them. Chabon's answer is simple and simultaneously profound: 'a hope of bringing pleasure for the reader.' Likewise, afterwords are all about shared pleasure, about the 'pure love' of a work of art that has inspired, awakened, or transformed the reader. Ultimately, as readers make their way through these pages, an argument emerges about the profound interrelation between reading and writing, and the irrelevance of distinctions between high and low, between genre and mainstream, to the power of literature." [publisher copy] "A wander along the lost avenues and borderlands of the 20th century popular imagination . . . BOOKENDS celebrates the skill of artists and writers to conjure imaginary worlds. Ultimately, its success lies in the way it demonstrates a lifelong emotional engagement with the possibilities of art, and the texts that speak to us at important moments in our lives. It traces the strange spark that arises at 'the intersection of a wish and the tip of a pencil.' Entertaining, funny and eminently readable, BOOKENDS restores the intrinsic and illuminating role that art can play in our lives."--San Francisco Chronicle. "An intellectually waggish labor of literary love. . . The erudite author celebrates science fiction, fantasy, myths, comics, ghost stories, and more, distilling his wonder of the craft of storytellers that has captivated his heart since boyhood. . . A wholehearted fandom of the written word."--Christian Science Monitor. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.

Paperback. Zustand: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Sg - leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt - A brilliant, idiosyncratic collection of introductions and afterwords (plus some liner notes) by New York Times bestselling and Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Chabon-'one of contemp…orary literature's most gifted prose stylists' (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times).In Bookends, Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Chabon offers a compilation of pieces about literature-age-old classics as well as his own-that presents a unique look into his literary origins and influences, the books that shaped his taste and formed his ideas about writing and reading.Chabon asks why anyone would write an introduction, or for that matter, read one. His own daughter Rose prefers to skip them. Chabon's answer is simple and simultaneously profound: 'a hope of bringing pleasure for the reader.' Likewise, afterwords-they are all about shared pleasure, about the 'pure love' of a work of art that has inspired, awakened, transformed the reader. Ultimately, this thought-provoking compendium is a series of love letters and thank-you notes, unified by the simple theme of the shared pleasure of discovery, whether it's the boyhood revelation of the most important story in Chabon's life (Ray Bradbury's 'The Rocket Man'); a celebration of 'the greatest literary cartographer of the planet Mars' (Edgar Rice Burroughs, with his character John Carter); a reintroduction to a forgotten master of ghost stories (M. R. James, ironically 'the happiest of men'); the recognition that the worlds of Wes Anderson's films are reassembled scale models of our own broken reality (as is all art); Chabon's own rude awakening from the muse as he writes his debut novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh; or a playful parody of lyrical interpretation in the liner notes for Mark Ronson's Uptown Special, the true purpose of which, Chabon insists, is to 'spread the gospel of sensible automotive safety and maintenance practices.'Galaxies away from academic or didactic, Bookends celebrates wonder-and like the copy of The Phantom Tollbooth handed to young Michael by a friend of his father he never saw again-it is a treasured gift.
