Lillian Hellman: A Life with Foxes and Scoundrels (Hardcover) by Deborah MartinsonBook Description: Few literary celebrities have lived with more abandon
and under a brighter spotlight than Lillian Hellman. Yet even fewer
have been doubted as absolutely as Hellman, famously denounced by rival
Mary McCarthy as a writer for whom "every word was a lie, including
'and' and 'the.'" The details of Hellman's life have been hotly
contested for decades. She was the author of such Broadway hits as The
Children's Hour and The Little Foxes; a Hollywood screenplay writer
until she was blacklisted; a writer of best-selling memoirs such as An
Unfinished Woman and Pentimento; and the volatile companion of writer
Dashiell Hammett, foreign service officer John Melby, and a myriad of
other high-profile men. Hellman refused to cooperate with
biographers-most notably William Wright-and, up until her death,
ordered those close to her to do the same. |

Philip Marlowe's Guide to Life," by Raymond Chandler, Marty Asher (Editor)Philip Marlowe’s Guide to Life is an elegant, A–Z compendium of
Marlowe’s ever-more-relevant observations about crime, women, work,
sex, good, evil, and life in the big city. Chandler’s genius
transcended genre; though he seemed to single-handedly invent noir, his
work ventured beyond it into an idiom all its own, and he left behind a
legacy of grit and disarming beauty. Here is a brilliant and loving
tribute to that legacy, sure to delight fans old and new. |
