Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Word Paintings is the direct result of a collaboration between a friend and me. We got bored one night, and invented our unusual word game. The object was to give each other a single word, and to write a story around it. Many of mine became romance stories, and many of hers had a distinct science fiction flavor. We both added poetry, and I added essays as well. The game gave us both the incentive to keep writing, separate from the paintings. While we initially did not want to share the stories with our families or the public, we realized that was more foolish than not. It's very hard to get published, so why not share them? I even put some of my stories on fan fiction sites, and got some very favorable reviews Some readers were very amused, and others asked me to continue the storylines, which I did. Quite a few of my other writings are included in this volume, and I hope you have as much fun reading them as I had writing them.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Today's children, especially teenagers, live in a world that is much different than the one that existed just twenty years ago. A drastically changed family dynamic and the advent of social media have forced young people to grow up in a more fragile environment, one without the stability they need and with the constant pressure of scrutiny from peers and others they don't even know. The effects of these factors have led to suicide becoming the second leading cause of death in teenagers in America Circumstance has deprived these kids of the stability and perspective that they so desperately need.

Paperback. Etat : Good. "A work of genius"--The Boston Globe "From the first sentence of the novel the reader is aware that he is in the presence of a magician.[Collier] casts a spell and he does so always with a smile."--Paul Theroux "A wayward masterpiece.Whatever this volume has cost you, it is, believe me, a great bargain."--Anthony Burgess "It is impossible to convey the subtle wit which makes you laugh out loud, the beauty and penetrating satire which blend so perfectly into its brilliance."--Booklist "The whole is written with sly humor throughout and is illuminated by splendid similes and metaphors which mark the author as a true humorist."--New York Times In the author's own words: "This is a strange book.an emotional melodrama, complete with a Medusa villainess, an honest simpleton of a hero, and an angelic if only anthropoid heroine, all functioning in the two dimensional world of the old Lyceum poster or the primitive fresco.where an angel may outsize a church, and where a man may marry a monkey on a foggy day."--from John Collier's "A Looking Glass" When Alfred Fatigay returns to his native London, he brings along his trustworthy pet chimpanzee Emily who, unbeknownst to Fatigay, has become civilized: literate, literary--and in love with Fatigay himself. After Emily meets Alfred's fiancée Amy Flint, a 1920's "modern woman," she sets out to save her beloved from Amy's cold grip. "Emily is the perfect outside observer," writes Eva Brann in her introduction, "because she is an African in Europe, a female in a man's world, a servant to liberated sophisticates, and above all an old-fashioned creature in a modern world." John Collier (1901-1980) was born in Britain, but spent much of his life in the U.S., where he wrote screenplays for Hollywood (The African Queen, Sylvia Scarlet, and I Am a Camera among them) and short stories for the New Yorker and other magazines. He was also a poet, editor, and reviewer. …
