Paperback. Etat : Good. It began as a simple flirtation . . . In September of 1963, Scott Stoddard, an American graduate student, is traveling to Switzerland, when he meets the Countess de Rovere, a French divorcee; he is smitten, and she is intrigued. What begins as a little coquetry soon becomes a serious love affair, much to the consternation of the Countess's ex-husband and mother, not to mention the Countess's friends of European high society. A meeting of equals poses problems enough, but what about one between two people who seem to have so many differences? And when a man of traditional attitudes couples with an independent and self-confident woman, something's got to give. It won't be the countess. As their liaison transcends an affair that cannot be dismissed, they all agree that something must be done. An Improbable Pairing is a historical romance that chronicles the enduring themes of a young man's coming of age and the rebellious love of the mismatched. This pas de deux, set in the golden years of 1960s Paris, Geneva, Gstaad, and Cannes, provides an insider's peek into the worlds of haute couture, three-star gourmet restaurants, and lavish hotel suites--the domains of rank and privilege. But society's privileged resist when an interloper threatens to upset their cozy structure.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Finalist, 2024 Lesbian Memoir/Biography, Lambda Literary Award for Arts and Culture Winner - Walter & Lillian Lowenfels Criticism Award, 45th Annual American Book Awards, Before Columbus FoundationA queer, Black ?biography in essays? about the performer who gave us ?Hound Dog,? ?Ball and Chain,? and other songs that changed the course of American music. Born in Alabama in 1926, raised in the church, appropriated by white performers, buried in an indigent?s grave-Willie Mae ?Big Mama? Thornton's life events epitomize the blues-but LynnÉe Denise pushes past the stereotypes to read Thornton?s life through a Black, queer, feminist lens and reveal an artist who was an innovator across her four-decade-long career. Why Willie Mae Thornton Matters ?samples? elements of Thornton?s art-and, occasionally, the author?s own story-to create ?a biography in essays? that explores the life of its subject as a DJ might dig through a crate of records. Denise connects Thornton?s vaudevillesque performances in Sammy Green?s Hot Harlem Revue to the vocal improvisations that made ?Hound Dog? a hit for Peacock Records (and later for Elvis Presley), injecting music criticism into what?s often framed as a cautionary tale of record-industry racism. She interprets Thornton?s performing in men?s suits as both a sly, Little Richard?like queering of the Chitlin Circuit and a simple preference for pants over dresses that didn?t have a pocket for her harmonica. Most radical of all, she refers to her subject by her given name rather than "Big Mama," a nickname bestowed upon her by a white man. It's a deliberate and crucial act of reclamation, because in the name of Willie Mae Thornton is the sound of Black musical resilience.…
