Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing, of Ann Beattie's fifth story collection from 1991 & her paperback novella WALKS WITH MEN from 2010. Bright, clean & tight hardcover, unread, in AS NEW condition, as is the NYC literary novella. WHAT WAS MINE (237pp) "In the title story a man reconsiders his childhood with his mother and her lover, surprising even himself when he finally repositions the jigsaw puzzle of time and place to reveal what really happened in his life. 'The Working Girl' reveals the ridiculous license of a storyteller as it exposes the reader's sometimes romantic, sometimes pragmatic, desires. It is a kind of cautionary tale, as much about the risks of storytelling as about the luck of romance. 'Home to Marie' is about two people who strive to keep the status quo, in the face of omnipresent danger, until one is overwhelmed by an unexpected perspective on the past that makes of the present a chiaroscuro in which her enlightenment exists in stark contrast to his dark view of life. 'Windy Day at the Reservoir' has already been praised by Publishers Weekly for its 'beautifully nuanced and detailed character portrayal, and a textured plot full of poignant surprises.'" [jacket copy] + WALKS WITH MEN (102pp) "It's 1980, and the New York press actually cares about the caustic remarks made by Harvard's pretty valedictorian. Jane promptly moves to Vermont to live off the land with her hippie boyfriend, until a trip to New York brings her within the gravitational pull of a highly opinionated yet cryptic and mysteriously wealthy writer named Neil who is nearly twice her age. Jane knows that Neil is a Svengali and willingly submits, only to discover that he's also a brazen liar. Nonetheless, they move into a Chelsea brownstone, where Jane voyeuristically enjoys downtown's cavalier exhibitionism. She has her moment of fame as the screenwriter for a documentary about runaways that wins an Academy Award, but bizarre circumstances conspire to leave her alone and bereft. This is a stark tale even for Beattie, the master of terseness and angst. But it is also an oddly beautiful distillation of a specific moment both in one fledgling writer's life and in New York's celebrity-driven culture, when creative forces gather like a held breath or the sea before a tsunami." [Booklist] "All women who have thought 'run!'--but did not run--will experience this book like a familiar dream. It's full of echoes and resonant fractures, and so beguiling in its eerie simplicity. I read it twice."--Miranda July. "Unshakably intelligent, deep-hearted, Beattie's stories are watercolors of the highest order. One feels amazed at the confidence, steadiness, and quality of her writing."--Lorrie Moore. Pristine books w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, square & tight bindings w/no creases in spine, both quite presentable. …
