Summary: Alfred Hayes is one of the secret masters of midtwentieth-century American fiction, a journalist and
scriptwriter and poet who possessed an immaculate ear for
prose and wrote two perfect short novels about passion and
its payback.

story about another woman: early married and divorced, with
a child living ...

Summary: Alfred Hayes is one of the secret masters of the
twentieth-century novel, a journalist and scriptwriter and
poet who possessed an immaculate ear for prose and wrote
two perfect short novels about passion and its payback.
My Face for the World to See is set in Hollywood, where the
tonic for anonymity is fame rather than family and you're only
as real as your image. At a party, the narrator rescues a
young woman who staggers with drunken determination into a

a sanatorium, which marked the end of his writing career.

Summary: An NYRB Classics Original
It is a sunny summer Sunday in a remote Swiss village, and a
christening is being celebrated at a lovely old farmhouse. One
of the guests notes an anomaly in the fabric of the venerable
edifice: a blackened post that has been carefully built into a
trim new window frame. Thereby hangs a tale, one that, as
the wise old grandfather who has lived all his life in the house
proceeds to tell it, takes one chilling turn after another, while
his audience listens in ap...

Author Bio: Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky (1887-1950) studied

philosophical and satirical stories with fantastical plots, he
ignored official injunctions to portray the new Soviet state in
a positive light, and three separate efforts to print different
collections were quashed by the censors, a fourth by World
War II. Not until 1989 could these surreal fictions begin to be
published. Both his story collection, Memories of the Future,

abandoned on October 2, 1944, with the physical destruction
of Warsaw, street by street and house by house, and the

We think of Honoré de Balzac as the author of long and fully
upholstered novels, stitched together into the magnificent
visionary document called The Human Comedy. Yet along
with the full-length fiction within The Human Comedy stand
many shorter works, among the most brilliant and forceful of
his fictions. Drawn always to the tradition of oral storytellingto the human voice telling of experience-and to the kinds of

Author Bio: Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) is generally
credited as the inventor of the modern realistic novel. In more
than ninety novels, he set forth French society and life as he
saw it. He created a cast of more than two thousand
individual and identifiable characters, some of whom reappear
in different novels. He organized his works into his
masterpiece, La Comédie humaine, which was the final result
of his attempt to grasp the whole of society and experience
into one varied but unified work...

Summary: Pierre Reverdy, who was close to Picasso and
Braque and was enormously admired by the surrealists, is one
the greatest of modern French poets and one of the most
elusive. His work is at once impersonal and intimate,
crystalline and opaque, simplicity itself and mysterious as can
be. Paul Auster has described his poems as combining an
"intense inwardness with a proliferation of sensual data....
The poet seems to evaporate, to vanish into the haunted
country he has created...as if Reverdy...
Author Bio: Pierre Reverdy (1889-1960) was a French poet
who, along with artists and writers such as Guillaume
Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, and Georges
Braque, helped develop cubism and surrealism. Soon after the
appearance of his first significant collection, Les Épaves du
ciel (1924), his writing turned more mystical and Reverdy
became a Catholic. In 1926 he retired to a life of ascetic
seclusion near the Benedictine monastery at Solesmes and
stayed there for the rest of h...

Summary: Welcome to the Kingdom of Id, a one-horse
kingdom ruled by a wretched, pint-sized tyrannical despot
known only as The King.
This is a collection of Brant Parker and Johnny Hart's awardwinning newspaper strip, featuring a cast of wise-cracking
wizards and rotten rulers, drunken has-been jesters and
cowardly knights.
This volume collects the daily and Sunday strips from 1973 for
the very first time, as well as new background feature
material!
Author Bio: Brant Parker used ideas from a deck of playing
cards to create the first few strips of The Wizard of Id. The
strip was first syndicated on November 9, 1964 - drawn by
Parker and co-written by Parker and Hart. In 1997 Brant
Parker passed his writing duties on to his son Jeff Parker, who
had already been involved with creating Id for a decade.
