Trade Paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. 8vo 8" - 9" tall; B&W Illustrations; 109 pages; Signed by Not signed; No spine crease. Pages are clean, unmarked, tight, ivory. Owner's sig on ffep. No other ownership marks. This surprisingly reverent collection of religious humor pokes less at the message than at the messenger. Gentle enoug…h to give your preacher, clean enough to use in the pulpit, this volume is nonetheless sharp enough to drive home its point that the clergyman does well to serve rather than be served. Gathered by Loyal Jones, whose scholarship has concentrated on both religion and humor, this collection cuts across denominational and ideological lines to focus on the foibles of the pastor and the human side of serving God. St. Peter jokes, mock sermons, church bulletin misprints, and age-old denominational rivalries-all are here, delightfully illustrated in pen and ink by Wendell Hall. Illustrated by Wendell E. Hall (illustrator).

Hardcover. 223 p. Illustrations. Dee Brown wrote one of the 20th century's most important histories, the 6-million copy bestseller Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Now, with a natural storyteller's flair, he offers a fascinating look at both this century and his own colorful life as an important American writer. [Dorris Alexander]… "Dee" Brown was an American novelist and historian. His most famous work is 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee', published in 1970, detailing the violent relationship between Native Americans and American expansionism. This work led to further appreciation of the Native American culture by the common American, and caused a new look at the history of the American west, from the Native American point of view. Born in Alberta, Louisiana, Brown grew up in Ouachita County, Arkansas and Little Rock, Arkansas, where he became friends with many Native Americans who made him realize that the portrayals of their people in American movies was not the true story. He worked as a reporter in Harrison, Arkansas, then became a teacher and librarian. He was a librarian for the U.S. Department of Agriculture from 1934 to 1942 and for the War Department after serving in the army in World War II. From 1948 to 1972, he was an agriculture librarian at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he had gained a master's degree in library science and became professor. In 1973, he retired back in Arkansas and devoted his time to writing. When "Bury My Heart" was published, many readers assumed that he was of Indian heritage, but in fact he was not. He did however come from a family with deep frontier history. He wrote several novels during his life, the first being Wave High the Banner, a fictionalized account of the life of Davy Crockett (who was an acquaintance of his great-grandfather). He wrote over a dozen books, including several for children, before 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' came out. From Wikipedia: "Dorris Alexander "Dee" Brown (February 29, 1908 December 12, 2002) was an American novelist and historian. His most famous work, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (1970) details some of the violence and oppression suffered by Native Americans at the hands of American expansionism.Born in Alberta, Louisiana, a sawmill town, Brown grew up in Ouachita County, Arkansas, which experienced an oil boom when he was thirteen. Brown's mother later relocated to Little Rock so he and his brother and two sisters could attend a better high school. The public library became his second home. Reading the three-volume History of the Expedition under the Command of Captains Lewis and Clark helped him develop an abiding interest in the American West. He also discovered the works of Sherwood Anderson and John Dos Passos, and later William Faulkner and Joseph Conrad. He cited these authors as those most influential on his own work. While attending home games by the Arkansas Travelers baseball team, he became acquainted with Moses Yellowhorse, a pitcher. His kindness, and a childhood friendship with a Creek boy, caused Brown to reject the portrayals of Indian peoples as violent and backward, which dominated American popular culture at the time. He worked as a printer and reporter in Harrison, Arkansas, and decided to continue his education at Arkansas State Teachers College in Conway, Arkansas. His mentor, the history professor Dean D. McBrien, helped set him on the road to becoming a writer. They traveled west along with other students on two occasions in a Model T Ford. On campus Brown worked as editor of the student newspaper and held a student assistantship in the library. The latter convinced him that he should become a librarian. So, in the middle of the Great Depression, he set out for George Washington University in Washington, D.C. for graduate study. Brown worked part-time for J. Willard Marriott, took classes, and married Sally Stroud (another graduate of Arkansas State Teachers College drawn to Washington by the New Deal). Eventually he.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 197, [3] pages. Signed with sentiment on half-title, reads To my fans all over the neighborhood--Best {Signed in Hebrew with (evetS) adjacent. DJ has wear and is in a plastic sleeve. Steve J. Stern (born 1947) is an author f…rom Memphis. Much of his work draws inspiration from Yiddish folklore. Stern studied writing in the graduate program at the University of Arkansas, at a time when it included several notable writers who've since become prominent, including poet C.D. Wright and fiction writers Ellen Gilchrist, Lewis Nordan, Lee K. Abbott and Jack Butler. He published his first book, the story collection Isaac and the Undertaker's Daughter, which was based in London's The Pinch, in 1983. It won the Pushcart Writers' Choice Award and acclaim from some notable critics, including Susan Sontag, who praised the book's "brio . whiplash sentences . energy and charm." By decade's end Stern had won the O. Henry Award, two Pushcart Prize awards, published more collections, including Lazar Malkin Enters Heaven (which won the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for Jewish American Fiction) and the novel Harry Kaplan's Adventures Underground, and was being hailed by critics, such as Cynthia Ozick, as the successor to Isaac Bashevis Singer. Stern's 2000 collection The Wedding Jester won the National Jewish Book Award in 1999, and his novel The Angel of Forgetfulness was named one of the best books of 2005 by The Washington Post. Stern has won some notable scholarly awards, including a Fulbright fellowships and the Guggenheim foundations Fellowship. Stern's first novel titled The Moon and Ruben Shein chronicled the misadventures of its title character, the book turns on Ruben's learning that his longtime literary mentor, Benjamin Wolf, has committed suicide and bequeathed Ruben his widow, Lydia. The protagonist leaves his home in Wales and travels to Wolf's residence in Arkansas, where he lives with both Lydia and Wolf's mistress, Phoebe. Attempting to write a biography of Wolf, Ruben is ultimately distracted by tangential travel and bizarre personal relationships. Although some critics found The Moon and Ruben Shein was praised as a humorous and promising novel debut. Derived from a Kirkus review: Ruben Shein, a writer and self-entitled "Jew d'esprit," is knocking around Wales doing not much--when word reaches him from Arkansas that his mentor Benjamin Wolf, poet of the grand old egomaniacal school, has died. And Wolf's mistress, small-press publisher Phoebe Jones, beckons Ruben back to accept Wolf's unusual bequest to him: painter-wife Lydia, whom Wolf had abandoned for Phoebe. Ruben, with nothing better to do, returns; maybe he'll do Wolf's biography while he's at it. But the inherited Lydia turns out to be in less than tip-top emotional shape, immediately pulling Ruben from Excelsior, Arkansas, to New Orleans to do her bidding. New Orleans turns out to be a year-long Mardi Gras, replete with live-in clowns (two destitute fellow-writers, Cloff and Devereux) and circuses (Lydia's art-gallery and studio society).
