very good dust-jacket, cover price $23.00, BLACK INK MARKINGS or UNDERLINING on ten pages in first chapter, annoying, rest of book is clean, black hardcover. VARGAS LLOSA, MARIO. Notes on the death of culture: essays on spectacle and society - COPY WITH MARKINGS. Edited and translated from the Spanish by John King. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2015, stated First American edition, and 1st printing number line starting with 1, 227pp., . "A provocative essay collection that finds the Nobel laureate taking on the decline of intellectual life In the past, culture was a kind of vital consciousness that constantly rejuvenated and revivified everyday reality. Now it is largely a mechanism of distraction and entertainment. Notes on the Death of Culture is an examination and indictment of this transformation-- penned by none other than Mario Vargas Llosa, who is not only one of our finest novelists but one of the keenest social critics at work today. Taking his cues from T. S. Eliot-- whose essay "Notes Toward a Definition of Culture" is a touchstone precisely because the culture Eliot aimed to describe has since vanished-- Vargas Llosa traces a decline whose ill effects have only just begun to be felt. He mourns, in particular, the figure of the intellectual: for most of the twentieth century, men and women of letters drove political, aesthetic, and moral conversations; today they have all but disappeared from public debate. But Vargas Llosa stubbornly refuses to fade into the background. He is not content to merely sign a petition; he will not bite his tongue. A necessary gadfly, the Nobel laureate Vargas Llosa, here vividly translated by John King, provides a tough but essential critique of our time and culture"-- Provided by publisher., "New essays attacking the precipitous decline of contemporary culture by the Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa".

PAPERBACK, attractive unused copy. small black remainder dot on top foredge. WILLIAMS, C. K. Wait. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2010, 125pp., . Wait finds C.K. Williams by turns ruminative, stalked by "the conscience-beast, who harries me," and "riven by idiot vigor, voracious as the youth I was for whom everything was going too slowly, too slowly." Poems about animals and rural life are set hard by poems about shrapnel in Iraq and sudden desire on the Paris Métro; grateful invocations of Herbert and Hopkins give way to fierce negotiations with the shades of Coleridge, Dostoevsky, and Celan. What the poems share is their setting in the cool, spacious, spotlit, book-lined place that is Williams's consciousness, a place whose workings he has rendered for fifty years with inimitable candor and style.

PAPERBACK, used copy with crease mark on spine and skewed from reading, still good clean copy for reading. WONDRATSCHEK, WOLF. Self-portrait with Russian piano. Translated from the German by Marshall Yarbrough. New York: Picador/Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021, First Picador paperback edition, 208pp., . "Vienna is an uncanny, magical, and sometimes brutally alienating city. The past lives on in the cafes where lost souls come to kill time and hash over the bygone glories of the twentieth century--or maybe just a recent love affair. Here, in one of these cafes, an anonymous narrator meets a strange character, like someone out of a novel: a decrepit old Russian named Suvorin. A Soviet pianist of international renown, Suvorin committed career suicide when he developed a violent distaste for the sound of applause. This eccentric gentleman--sometimes charming, sometimes sulky, sometimes disconcertingly frank--knows the end of his life is approaching, and allows himself to be convinced to tell his life story. Over a series of coffee dates, punctuated by confessions, anecdotes, and rages--and by the narrator's schemes to keep his quarry talking--a strained friendship develops between the two men, and it soon becomes difficult to tell who is more dependent on whom.".
