Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "He always seemed more alive than other people," Elizabeth Bishop once said of Randall Jarrell, "as if constantly tuned up to the concert pitch that most people, including poets, can maintain only for short and fortunate stretches." And in no area of his diverse writing career was Jarrell more full of life--more "tuned up"--than in his brilliant essays. As a critic, Jarrell was chiefly interested in poetry, but his wide and avid circle of readers extended well beyond poets and students of verse.

His essays, too, seemed more alive than other people's: brighter and funnier, more energetic and unpredictable, wiser and more penetrating. Jarrell was only fifty-one at the time of his death, in 1965, yet he created a body of work that secured his position as one of the century's leading American men of letters. He saw himself chiefly as a poet, but in addition to a number of books of poetry he left behind a sparkling comic novel (Pictures from an Institution), four children's books, numerous translations, haunting letters. And he left four collections of essays, from each of which the present volume draws. No Other Book is a reminder that Jarrell the poet was also, in the words of Robert Lowell, "a critic of genius." And that he was--as few Americans have ever been--a truly two-handed writer: a master of both poetry and prose.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The sexual politics of a faculty wives dinner. The psychological gamesmanship of an inappropriate therapist. The emotional minefield of an extended family wedding . . . Whatever the subject, Emily Fox Gordon's disarmingly personal essays are an art form unto themselves--reflecting and revealing, like mirrors in a maze, the seemingly endless ways a woman can lose herself in the modern world.

Along the way, she encounters textbook feminists, partying philosophers, perfectionist moms, and an unlikely kinship with Kafka--in a brilliant collection of essays that challenge our sacred institutions, defy our expectations, and define our lives.…
