The first new biography of Eliot for over a decade - now in paperback.

A biography of T S Eliot that offers a sympathetic study of his first marriage which does not attempt to blame, but to understand; it shows how Eliot's poetry can be read for its revelations about his inner world.

A Short Biography

Primarily based on Masaji Marumoto's oral histories, this book is an account of Marumoto's life and career-from the time he was a child until he was well into his retirement years in the mid-1980s. One of Hawaii's most distinguished Nisei, Marumoto was the first person of Asian ancestry to graduate from Harvard Law School, the first Japanese American president of the Hawaii Bar Association, and the first Japanese American to serve on the Hawaii Supreme Court. This volume includes portions of a diary Marumoto kept as a fourteen-year-old schoolboy and letters to his wife and son during his World War II military service. It is an intimate portrait of a remarkable individual--a figure of major consequence in the story of modern Hawaii.

Ernest Hemingway, Zadie Smith, Joan Didion, Franz Kafka, David Foster Wallace, and more. In Process, acclaimed journalist Sarah Stodola examines the creative methods of literature's most transformative figures. Each chapter contains a mini biography of one of the world's most lauded authors, focused solely on his or her writing process. Unlike how-to books that preach writing techniques or rules, Process puts the true methods of writers on display in their most captivating incarnation: within the context of the lives from which they sprang. Drawn from both existing material and original research and interviews, Stodola brings to light the fascinating, unique, and illuminating techniques behind these literary behemoths.

The Writing Lives of Great Authors

Process

Among the most popular novels in the early decades of the twentieth century were those published by Alice Muriel Williamson, whose novels were frequently attributed on their title pages to "C. N. and A. M. Williamson." Although it is now known that "A. M." never wrote any fiction by "C. N." - her husband, Charles Norris Williamson, - the view erroneously persists that the married couple were joint authors. Preceding her fame as a novelist, Alice wrote a series of sensational stories that appeared serially in journals in the 1890s. So fertile was her imagination that she was able to supply her publisher, Alfred Harmsworth, with weekly installments for as many as seven serials concurrently (one for each day of the week), a feat probably unmatched in the history of fiction. As a novelist, the creative fervor of her stories ensured a popularity as great as or greater than that enjoyed by any of her contemporaries. Although particularly renowned for her travel romances, she was a literary polymath adept in a wide variety of genres, often published anonymously or pseudonymously, such as her sensational exposé of German war plans on the eve of World War I, What I Found Out in the House of a German Prince (1915). Purporting to be "by an American-English Governess," it was so realistic that it was accepted as a true account and published serially in the Fortnightly Review. The missing chapters of her tumultuous life in America, revealed for the first time in Richard Rex's riveting study, unveil the history of her multivalent careers as actress, journalist, traveler, and author of fiction. Readers revisiting her stories-many ideated from her own adventurous and romantic life-will find them remarkably relevant and offering an intense human interest dimension no less intriguing today than when they were first published.

Imagination on Fire

The long-awaited guide to writing long-form nonfiction by the legendary author and teacher Draft No. 4 is a master class on the writer's craft. In a series of playful, expertly wrought essays, John McPhee shares insights he has gathered over his career and has refined while teaching at Princeton University, where he has nurtured some of the most esteemed writers of recent decades. McPhee offers definitive guidance in the decisions regarding arrangement, diction, and tone that shape nonfiction pieces, and he presents extracts from his work, subjecting them to wry scrutiny. In one essay, he considers the delicate art of getting sources to tell you what they might not otherwise reveal. In another, he discusses how to use flashback to place a bear encounter in a travel narrative while observing that "readers are not supposed to notice the structure. It is meant to be about as visible as someone's bones." The result is a vivid depiction of the writing process, from reporting to drafting to revising-and revising, and revising. Draft No. 4 is enriched by multiple diagrams and by personal anecdotes and charming reflections on the life of a writer. McPhee describes his enduring relationships with The New Yorker and Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and recalls his early years at Time magazine. Throughout, Draft No. 4 is enlivened by his keen sense of writing as a way of being in the world.

On the Writing Process

Draft No. 4

“An enchanting double-helix biography . . . Contains enough mad capers, heaving proposals and dramatic death throes to be a veritable Harlequin romance for the literary set . . . It’s lacy and necessary filigree between the sober straight lines of history.” —Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times Book Review

For fans of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love, this is the real-life story of Celia and Mamaine Paget: “devoted twins, whose lives and loves traversed the intellectual currents and crises of mid-twentieth century Europe” (Rupert Christiansen). 

After Celia Goodman née Paget died in 2002, her daughter, Ariane Bankes, inherited a battered trunk stuffed with letters and diaries that belonged to Celia and her identical twin sister, Mamaine. This correspondence charted two remarkable lives spent amongst a dazzling cast of characters who were at the heart of their age, including Arthur Koestler, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and George Orwell. 

Throughout a secluded childhood in the country with their widowed father, boarding school, and Swiss finishing school, the twins remained inseparable. As debutantes, they took 1930s London by storm, rejecting conventional suitors in favor of life together amongst the city’s bohemian intelligentsia. During the war and after, they were at the side of Europe’s foremost intellectuals—as coworkers, close friends, and lovers. 

This captivating memoir is an intimate portrait of a lost age and the male thinkers who dominated it, as seen through women’s eyes. Above all, it’s the tale of two devoted sisters, remarkable women both.

In these pages, journalist and writer Pablo-Ignacio de Dalmases offers a courageous investigation that redefines the traditional, even iconic, image we have of Lorca today. This essay, which focuses on his gay identity, breaks new ground in biographical literature, offering us an intimate and daring portrait that takes us by the hand through the most significant--and unknown--aspect of the poet's intense life and emphasizes an aspect that no author had detected until now: the subsequent ideological evolution of his lovers, all of whom--except one, who remained faithful to his socialist and republican identity--ended up, in contrast to the poet's sad fate, firmly identified with Francoism. With its eloquent, entertaining, and well-documented prose, Federico's Fiancés promises to be essential reading not only for the LGBT community, Hispanists, and lovers of literature, but also for those interested in the cultural genealogy of our time. Every page of this work is imbued with respect and admiration for Lorca, delving into the struggles, loves, and passions of a man who lived with a complex and affirming nature, not without contradictions. This book not only celebrates his literary genius, but also humanizes the poet, showing us the many facets of his psychology and opening up lines of reflection on the construction of gay identity in postmodernity.

This is the story of an author and his apprentice. It is the story of literary influence and tragedy. It is also the story of incarceration in America. Norman Mailer was writing The Executioner's Song, his novel about condemned killer Gary Gilmore, when he struck up a correspondence with Jack Henry Abbott, Federal Prisoner 87098-132. Over time, Abbott convinced the famous author that he was a talented writer who deserved another chance at freedom. With letters of support from Mailer and other literary elites of the day, Abbott was released on parole in 1981. With Mailer's help, Abbott quickly became the literary "it boy" of New York City. But in a shocking turn of events, the day before a rave review of Abbott's book, In the Belly of the Beast, appeared in The New York Times, Abbott murdered a New York City waiter and fled to Mexico. Eerily, like Gary Gilmore in Mailer's true-life novel, Abbott killed within six weeks of his release from prison. Now Jerome Loving explores the history of two of the most infamous books of the past 50 years, a fascinating story that has never before been told.

Erich Kästner (1899-1974), dessen Todestag sich 2024 zum 50. Mal jährt, ist einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Kinderbuchautoren. Bücher wie "Pünktchen und Anton" (1931) oder "Das doppelte Lottchen" (1949) wurden geliebt, millionenfach verkauft, vielfach verfilmt - und sind noch immer nicht vergessen.
Kästners Leben Ende der 1920er, Anfang der 1930er Jahre lässt sich als Komödie erzählen. Er schrieb in kurzer Zeit drei Gedichtbände, die ihn zum Liebling der Leser und vor allem der Leserinnen machten. Er wurde mit "Emil und die Detektive" (1929) über Nacht weltberühmt. Und er verdiente sehr viel Geld.
Was in Vergessenheit geriet: Erich Kästner war in seinen letzten Lebensjahren ein tieftrauriger Mensch, der zusehends versteinerte. Gregor Eisenhauer erzählt von dieser Zeit. Wie kam es dazu, dass einer, der allen Grund hatte, glücklich zu sein, einsam starb?

Writing as Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler has led several generations of young readers into that special and curious space of being hopelessly lost, and joyfully finding yourself, in the essential strangeness of literature. The wondrous and perilous journey of the Baudelaire orphans sprung from the author's own path, from his childhood discovery of Baudelaire's poetry through the countless peculiarities of his pursuit of a literary life-abject failure and startling success, breakthrough and breakdown, concordance and controversy-lit along the way by the books and culture he loved best. 
 
At once a personal memoir and a literary exploration, a how-to book and a critical inquiry, a sequence of stories and a series of events, And Then? And Then? What Else? is a book not just for anyone curious about the creator of Lemony Snicket, but for anyone who loved books when they were a child, and still loves them now.

And Then? and Then? What Else?

Zum ersten Mal wird das Leben und das Werk des Dichters Hermann Kükelhaus (1920 - 1944) in seiner ganzen Tiefe erzählt.
In einer einzigartigen Struktur - Werk und Biogräe eng miteinander verwoben - entfaltet sich das Bild eines Mannes, der in Sprache und Denken eine Heimat hatte. Von den Wurzeln seiner Familie bis zu seinem eigenen schöpferischen Wirken entsteht ein lebendiges, einfühlsames Porträt, das auf allen verfügbaren Quellen beruht. Seinem Bruder, dem Künstler, Denker und Gestalter Hugo Kükelhaus,verdanken wir zahlreiche Erinnerungen und Zeichnungen, die den Dichter vor und im Zweiten Weltkrieg lebendig werden lassen.
Albert Vinzens hat ein bewegendes Buch geschrieben über einen besonderen Menschen. Ein Buch über das Ringen mit dem Wort, über Glaube, Zweifel und die Kraft der Sprache, die selbst im Dunkel des Krieges Wärme zu spenden vermag.

Ein Dichter im Krieg

Hermann Kükelhaus

Sie ist eine der wichtigsten deutschen Autorinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Doch die Frau Brigitte Reimann ist nicht losgelöst von der Schriftstellerin zu betrachten. Beim Lesen ihrer Werke, Tagebücher und Briefe wird schnell klar, wie facettenreich sie war. Sie kann eine Prosa­architektin genannt werden, und ihr Schreiben entzieht sich jedem einfachen biografischen Erzählen. Vielmehr gilt es, die Unentwirrbarkeit der Beziehung von Leben und Schreiben, die Erzählebenen und Bewusstseinsschichten innerhalb ihres Werks zu beleuchten. Reimann erschließt sich Räume und bevölkert sie mit Menschen, die sie mit Biografien ausstattet, die Brüche aufweisen, Männer und Frauen, die in ausweglose Situationen geraten und um ihr Leben sprechen, wie auch die Schriftstellerin selbst um ihr Leben schreibt, das sie provisorisch nennt, und das viel zu früh endet.
Ingeborg Gleichauf erzählt von der Sprachwelt Brigitte Reimanns, die ihr Zuhause nirgendwo hat und doch in einer bestimmten Zeit und einer bestimmten Gesellschaft angesiedelt ist.
