Hardcover. Etat : Good. Right up until his death in 2008, John Leonard was a lion in American letters. Reading for My Life is a monumental collection of Leonardâs most significant writings â" spanning five decades â" from his earliest columns for the Harvard Crimson to his final essays for the New York Review of Books. Here are Leonardâs best writings â" many never before published in book form â" on the cultural touchstones of a generation, each piece a testament to his sharp wit, fierce intelligence, and lasting love of the arts. Definitive reviews of Doris Lessing, Vladimir Nabokov, Tom Wolfe, Don DeLillo, Milan Kundera, and Philip Roth among others, display his nearly encyclopedic knowledge of literature in the second half of the twentieth century. His essay on Ed Sullivan and the evolution of television remains a classic. Through Leonardâs reviews and essays is a dedicated political spirit, pleading for social justice, advocating for the womenâs movement, and forever calling attention to writers whose work challenged and excited him. Includes remembrances by Leonardâs friends, family, and colleagues. 384p.…

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. NEW First Everyman's Library Edition (Orig. 2006) Printing Unstated * ABOUT THE BOOK: Seven books in one hardcover volume from the bestselling, award-winning author of "The Year of Magical Thinking", including the full texts of: "Slouching Towards Bethlehem", "The White Album", "Salvador", "Miami", "After Henry", "Political Fictions" & "Where I Was From". Joan Didion's incomparable & distinctive essays & journalism are admired for their acute, incisive observations & their spare, elegant style. The 7 books of nonfiction that appeared between 1968 & 2003 are here collected into one thrilling collection. "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" captures the counterculture of the sixties, its mood & lifestyle, as symbolized by California, Joan Baez, Haight-Ashbury. "The White Album" covers the revolutionary politics & the "contemporary wasteland" of the late 60s and early 70s, in pieces on the Manson family, the Black Panthers, & Hollywood. "Salvador" is a riveting look at the social & political landscape of civil war. Miami exposes the secret role this largely Latin city played in the Cold War, from the Bay of Pigs through Watergate. In "After Henry" Didion reports on the Reagans, Patty Hearst, & the Central Park jogger case. The eight essays in "Political Fictions"—on censorship in the media, Gingrich, Clinton, Starr, & "compassionate conservatism," among others—show us how we got to the political scene of today. And in "Where I Was From" Didion shows that California was never the land of the golden dream. * ABOUT EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY: EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, w/ full-cloth cases w/ 2-color foil stamping, decorative end-papers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, & a full-color illustrated jacket.

After graduation, Didion moved to New York & began working for Vogue, which led to her career as a journalist & writer. Didion published her first novel, "Run River", in 1963. Didion's other novels include "A Book of Common Prayer" (1977), "Democracy" (1984), & "The Last Thing He Wanted" (1996). Didion's first volume of essays, "Slouching Towards Bethlehem", was published in 1968, and her second, "The White Album", was published in 1979. Her nonfiction works include "Salvador" (1983), "Miami" (1987), "After Henry" (1992), "Political Fictions" (2001), "Where I Was From" (2003), "We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live" (2006), "Blue Nights" (2011), "South and West" (2017) & "Let Me Tell You What I Mean" (2021). Her memoir "The Year of Magical Thinking" won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2005. In 2005, Didion was awarded the American Academy of Arts & Letters Gold Medal in Criticism & Belles Letters. In 2007, she was awarded the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. A portion of National Book Foundation citation read: "An incisive observer of American politics and culture for more than 45 years, Didion's distinctive blend of spare, elegant prose & fierce intelligence has earned her books a place in the canon of American literature as well as the admiration of generations of writers & journalists." In 2013, she was awarded a National Medal of Arts & Humanities by President Barack Obama, & the PEN Center USA's Lifetime Achievement Award. Didion said of her writing: "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means." She died in December 2021. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost charge) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations. …
