Doctorow, E.L. Lives of the Poets: Six Stories and a Novella
Random House Inc 1984 0394525302 / 9780394525303 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Very-nice, clean copy of this 1984 hardback. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings $14.95. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 147 pages. Dustcover shows slight (NO tears). Synopsis A young boy is asked to maintain the fiction that his father is alive. A young woman is shot at by a hunter. A schoolgirl dies in an exploding car. In Lives of the Poets, six tense, poignant, and mysterious stories are followed by a novella in which the writer emerges from his work to reveal his own mind. Here the images and the themes of the earlier stories become part of the narrator's unsparing confessions about his own life. Seperated from his family, he chronicles the edgy urban landscape around him, discusses marriages that fail but continue to entangle spouses, the influence of wives and other women, and the obsessions that haunt him. And in this brilliant, funny, and painful story about the story, the writer's mind in all its aspects - its formal compositions, its naked secrets - emerges as a rare look at the creative process and its connection to the heart. An astonishing work, Lives of the Poets varies from realistic to dreamlike to become a virtuoso performance by E.L. Doctorow, deftly done by an author in total control of his craft, aware both of the enormity of his talent... and of the price it exacts. Biography Few writers have succeeded as E. L. Doctorow has at creating stories (largely based in 1930s New York) that evoke both warm, personal memory and a grander national portrait. Doctorow doesn't always promise historical veracity, but he captures our imagination of the past flawlessly.

Doctorow, E.L. The March
Random House Inc 2005 0375506713 / 9780375506710 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
A photo of this book is available. Very-nice, clean copy. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.95. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 367 pages. Synopsis In 1864, after Union general William Tecumseh Sherman burned Atlanta, he marched his sixty thousand troops east through Georgia to the sea, and then up into the Carolinas. The army fought off Confederate forces and lived off the land, pillaging the Southern plantations, taking cattle and crops for their own, demolishing cities, and accumulating a borne-along population of freed blacks and white refugees until all that remained was the dangerous transient life of the uprooted, the dispossessed, and the triumphant. Only a master novelist could so powerfully and compassionately render the lives of those who marched. The author of Ragtime, City of God, and The Book of Daniel has given us a magisterial work with an enormous cast of unforgettable characters -- white and black, men, women, and children, unionists and rebels, generals and privates, freed slaves and slave owners. At the center is General Sherman himself; a beautiful freed slave girl named Pearl; a Union regimental surgeon, Colonel Sartorius; Emily Thompson, the dispossessed daughter of a Southern judge; and Arly and Will, two misfit soldiers. Almost hypnotic in its narrative drive, The March stunningly renders the countless lives swept up in the violence of a country at war with itself. The great march in E. L. Doctorow’s hands becomes something more -- a floating world, a nomadic consciousness, and an unforgettable reading experience with awesome relevance to our own times.
