Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The bestselling novel from the author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN. AND AGAIN. Its always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, its particularly awkward because the money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven. Per Persson, the hotel receptionist, just wants to mind his own business, and preferably not get murdered. Johanna Kjellander, temporarily resident in room eight, is a priest without a vocation, and, as of last week, without a parish. But right now she has two things at her disposal: an envelope containing five thousand kronor, and an excellent idea . . . Featuring one violent killer, two shrewd business brains and many crates of Moldovan red wine, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is an outrageously zany story with as many laughs as Jonassons multimillion-copy bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. Enormous fun The Times A thrilling ride Financial Times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Beatty insistently finds poetry in the projects, dignity on the street. Guardian Beattys blunt, impious, streetwise eloquence [is] transfixing New York Times The writing here is seamless and teeming with momentum New York Times Book Review Winston Tuffy Foshay is a 19-year-old, 24-stone player-king to a hapless gang in Spanish Harlem, a denizen who breaks jaws and shoots dogs. His best friend is a disabled Muslim man who wants to rob banks, his guiding light is an ex-hippie Asian woman who worked for Malcolm X, and his wife he married over the phone whilst in jail. When the frustrated Tuffy agrees to run for City Council, so begins a zany, riotous concoction of nonstop hip-hop chatter and brilliant mainstream social satire, as the indomitable Beatty again demonstrates why he is hailed as one of the shrewdest cultural commentators and hilarious cutups of his generation. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Zustand: Sehr gut. 432 S. Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - Perhaps no artist has so captured the imagination of the public as has Andy Warhol. To some he was a genius whose brash, provocative, and often zany paintings and films epitomized the prevailing cultural and moral spirit of the time; others saw him as a flagrant self-promoter whose insatiable appetite for fame and fortune led him to pure sensationalism at the expense of serious art. Yet no one can deny his influence on the world at large, an influence that continues unabated even after his death. By preempting the celebrity of his subjects-from Campbell's Soup and Coca-Cola to Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor-Warhol parlayed his own name into a highly valuable commodity. But he didn't stop there. Recognized as a founding father of underground film, a pioneer of multimedia "happenings," and the brightest light in his own galaxy of "superstars," Warhol strove to be a "jack of all arts," and the legacy he left behind-paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, films, anai"publications, as well as a decorative art collection perhaps unrivaled in ourtime-proves him to be a master as well. Author David Bourdon, art critic and a close friend and confidant of Warhol's since the early 1960s, has been working on this book for several years, receiving full cooperation from the artist during his lifetime and from his family and friends afterward. He has succeeded in capturing Warhol's art, life, and impact-and the essence of an era- with style, grace, insight, and the authenticity that only comes from having been there. In portraying the multidimensional artist in all his many guises, Bourdon presents the most comprehensive, authoritative view available of the life and work of the internationally renowned king of Pop art. With his perceptive text and more than 320 pictures, he explores the young Warhol's struggle to find his own niche in the art world-and his personal rivalry with Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns in his attempts to innovate new forms in art; analyzes his films-from early, motionless studies such as Empire through Chelsea Girls, which one critic termed "the Iliad of the Underground," and Lonesome Cowboys and Blue Movie, both confiscated by lawmen; documents the evolution of his Interview magazine; discusses the shock waves that spread around the world from his 1968 near-fatal shooting; and examines his role as cult figure and mentor. The off-center members of Warhol's eccentric entourage -Girls of the Year Baby Jane Hölzer and Edie Sedgwick; Factory regulars Ondine, Viva, Ultra Violet, and Billy Name; transvestite film stars Candy Darling, Holly Woodlàwn, and Jackie Curtis-are all here, as are such notables from the worlds of music, fashion, and Hollywood as Liza, John and Yoko, Mick, Bianca, Capote, and Jackie Q They all come together in the pages of this critical biography, fhedefinitive study of one of the most closely scrutinized but least understood artists of the century.
