Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A few years ago, Pushcart Press issued a series of three books: Rotten Reviews and Rotten Reviews II, edited by Bill Henderson, and Rotten Rejections, edited by André Bernard. All three volumes were hugely popular and Rotten Reviews spent some time on a national bestseller list. Now these hundreds of scathing comments are collected in one edition that will delight readers and offer solace to writers who have endured similar reviews and rejections. For example: Jane Austen was reviewed as a "husband-hunting butterfly." John Barth's early fiction was called "a real recoil." Alice in Wonderland was greeted with "a stiff overwrought story." Reviews of Moby-Dick cited Melville for "tragic-comic bubble and squeak." Classic rejection slips were delivered to John Le Carré's The Spy That Came In from the Cold: "You're welcome to Le Carré he hasn't got any future," and Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita: "I recommend that it be buried under a stone for a thousand years," plus many more. "A welcome bit of fun."--Philadelphia Inquirer.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Winner of Pushcart's Editors Book Award,Ghosting is a love story that is as much about life as it is about death. Married at a young age to an older man , neither he nor she doubted that he would predecease her; but she discovers that there is no preparing for the loss a beloved. Their marriage was a passionate 35 year love affair, as if the odds against its longevity engendered a rare intensity. She discovers that love has no boundaries, grief is not eternal and ?her husband's motto "Life is a love story" is so very true. Ascher writes passionately about her unlikely marriage, her husband's illness and death and her ensuing sorrow. A witness to the insanity that grief visits upon its victims with a seeming determination to destroy, she gazes straight into the eye of grief and does not blink. In time she moves beyond that grief - her voyage out.  Ghosting is, by turns, moving and funny, tender and brutal . The wonder of Ghosting is that Ascher, like Montaigne, calls forth Everyman.  About previous books: Pat Conroy on Dancing In The Dark: "One of those books that wakes you up to the life you have failed to live.What a wonderful book." Publishers Weekly on The Habit of Loving:? "With her sharp, unflinching eye, she discovers wonder and truth at our very doorsteps." Boston Globe on Landscape Without Gravity: "Her honesty touches the reader's heart, opens the scars of old wounds, and helps heal them.wrenching, insightful.compelling" Eudora Welty on Playing After Dark: "Barbara Ascher has a serious mind and the gift of a light touch.".…
