Описание: Robison's minimalism is more like a slap in the face: it's short, it stings, and you wonder who in tarnation did that to you. --The New York Times Enter Eve. Based in New Orleans, she's a location scout for a movie production company and complacently married to Adam. Now you know, she says. Our names really didn't bother me that much until the mail started arriving addressed to 'Adam and Eve Broussard.' He's just been diagnosed with a grave illness and gone back to the palatial family home where his parents reside. It's all just fine with Eve--or so she tells herself at the beginning. But standing left of center in this still-prosperous but mortally wounded family does not get easier as the weeks wear on. As she negotiates her way around the anger of Adam's despised twin brother Saunders, maintains her friendship with his beautiful and volatile wife Petal, and protects what's left of the innocence of her niece Collie, Eve finds more than the Louisiana heat oppressive.

Описание: "Robison raises sitcom wit to the level of real emotional situations, real comedy and real art." --The Chicago Tribune "Subraction stands out as a high-wire act of the novel form--taut in expression yet rich with humanity, expertly crafted and unfairly neglected." --The Millions Paige Deveaux, poet and Harvard professor, is tracking her husband Raf, who has vanished once again. Paige trails him to Houston, where he is holed up in a seedy bar, drunk and cheerfully ashamed of himself. He's very glad to see her: she's the only girl for him (and he should know--he's tried most of the others). Finding Raf is one thing, but holding on to him is another. To sober him up, to keep him sober, to keep him, Paige enlists Raf's old friend Raymond (himself an ex-alcoholic) and Raf's new friend Pru, a holistically inclined contortionist-stripper. For a while life, and Raf, seem to settle down. But this foursome is nothing but trouble for one another. Pru is a hit-and-run artist, a sexual desperado who has already broken Raymond's heart, and now Raymond is growing sweet on Paige. As Raf says, "Assorted wretchednesses ensue."

Описание: A collection of thirteen stories Vogue called "subtle and substantial," part of Counterpoint's series of reissues celebrating this renowned author
As Mary Robison's third book, An Amateur's Guide to the Night stands as an exemplar of her beloved narrative style: purposeful, clipped, and devastating in its restraint. The Los Angeles Times said of the thirteen stories contained within: "As narrative, the stories are inconclusive; as commentaries on the way Americans live now, they're absolute and final." Reflecting on the life of disaffected youth, the stories in An Amateur's Guide to the Night speculate on how they manage to remain deferent towards the rest of society--and documenting how spectacularly they often fail.

Описание: In "Peanuts and Philosophy," twenty philosophers, from a diverse range of perspectives, look at different aspects of the "Peanuts" canon. How can the thoughts of children, who have yet to become grown-up, help us to become more grown up ourselves? Do we get good results from believing in something like the Great Pumpkin, even though we re disappointed every time? What can Linus s reactions to the leukemia of his friend Janice tell us about the stages of grief? Why don t we settle what s right and what s wrong by the simple method of asking Lucy? Is true happiness attainable without a warm puppy? Do some people s kites have a natural affinity for trees? Is Sally an anarchist, a nihilist, or just a contrarian? Does Linus s reliance on his blanket help him or hurt him? Is Charlie Brown s philosophy of life pathetic or inspirational? Other topics include: how the way children think carries general lessons about transcending our limitations; the Utopian quest as illustrated by Charlie s devotion to the Little Red-Haired Girl; Snoopy s Red Baron and history as selective memory; the Head Beagle as Big Brother. And, as we would expect, Lucy s repeated cruel removal of Charlie's football has several philosophical applications. "
