Описание:

The definitive biography of Frank O Hara, one of the greatest American poets of the twentieth century, the magnetic literary figure at the center of New York s cultural life during the 1950s and 1960s.

City Poet captures the excitement and promise of mid-twentieth-century New York in the years when it became the epicenter of the art world, and illuminates the poet and artist at its heart. Brad Gooch traces Frank O Hara s life from his parochial Catholic childhood to World War II, through his years at Harvard and New York. He brilliantly portrays O Hara in in his element, surrounded by a circle of writers and artists who would transform America s cultural landscape: Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Helen Frankenthaler, Jackson Pollock, Gregory Corso, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, LeRoi Jones, and John Ashbery.

Gooch brings into focus the artistry and influence of a life of guts and wit and style and passion (Luc Sante) that was tragically abbreviated in 1966 when O Hara, just forty and at the height of his creativity, was hit and killed by a jeep on the beach at Fire Island a death that marked the end of an exceptional career and a remarkable era.

City Poet is illustrated with 55 black and white photographs."

Описание: The National Book Award winning novel by the writer whom Fran Lebowitz called the real F. Scott Fitzgerald
Joe Chapin led a storybook life. A successful small-town lawyer with a beautiful wife, two over-achieving children, and aspirations to be president, he seemed to have it all. But as his daughter looks back on his life, a different man emerges: one in conflict with his ambitious and shrewish wife, terrified that the misdeeds of his children will dash his political dreams, and in love with a model half his age. With black wit and penetrating insight, "Ten North Frederick" stands with Richard Yates "Revolutionary Road," Evan S. Connell s "Mr. Bridge" and "Mrs. Bridge," the stories of John Cheever, and "Mad Men" as a brilliant portrait of the personal and political hypocrisy of mid-century America.
