Book Description
Squaring the Circle is a collection of fantastic tales by Gheorghe Sasarman, selected and translated by Ursula K. Le Guin, which Aqueduct Press will be releasing in trade paper back in May 2013. The tales in Squaring the Circle were written in Rumania, in Rumanian, in 1969. The book has been previously published in French and Spanish translations. Ursula K. Le Guin, reading the Spanish translation, felt compelled to bring 24 of its 36 tales into English. As she writes in her introduction, "Some books, unread books, exert the effect. Its not rational, not easy to explain. They dont glow or vibrate, though thats what theyd do in an animated movie. They just are in view, theyre there. Theres this book, on the shelf in a book store or the library or like this one in a pile on my desk, and it is visible, silently saying read me. And even if I have no idea what it is and what its about, I have to read it." The result of Le Guin's compulsion is this English edition of Sasarman's tales.

Circle of Three
Author: Patricia Gaffney
Publisher: Harper
ISBN: 9780060193751
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
“Gaffney’s characters are appealing and realistic…Readers will race through this book.” —New Orleans Times Picayune “Poignant….Entertaining….As good as it gets.” —New York Post No other author writes about the lives and friendships of women with more warmth and grace than New York Times bestseller Patricia Gaffney. A true master of women’s fiction, with Circle of Three she flourishes the same breathtaking characterization and storytelling skills that made her previous novel, The Saving Graces, a readers’ favorite. The story of a woman grieving for her losses and her life, and her relationship with her overbearing mother and precocious young daughter, Circle of Three focuses on three generations of a troubled family, the anger and misunderstanding that separates them…and the love that holds them together. Gaffney does beautifully what Elizabeth Berg, Anne Rivers Siddons, and Anne Tyler also do so well: exploring the tricky bonds of family in novels both heart-soaring and heartbreaking.

Melbourne Circle
Author: Nick Gadd
Publisher: Australian Scholarly Publishing
ISBN: 1922454079
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Over two years, writer Nick Gadd and his wife Lynne circled the city of Melbourne on foot, starting at Williamstown and ending in Port Melbourne. Along the way they uncovered lost buildings, secret places and mysterious signs that told of forgotten stories and curious characters from the past. Soon after they completed the circle, Lynne passed away from cancer. Melbourne Circle is the story of their journey, a memoir, and a stunning meditation on personal loss. ‘What a gem this book is! Oddity, wonderment, weirdness: these splendid essays reveal a marvellous Melbourne most of us have never encountered before. This is a psychogeography dense with vernacular history, humane detail, and from beneath the shadow of grief, love.’ – Gail Jones, author of Five Bells and The Death of Noah Glass ‘‘‘Psychojogging”’ and the pleasures of walking.’ – interview with Hilary Harper on Radio National, Life Matters ‘Marvellous Melbourne: the books that capture our city and its life.’ – The Age/Sydney Morning Herald ‘Melbourne Circle: Walking, Memory and Loss is a very special book. Just read it, and then take to the streets and walk with the same spirit of enquiry.’ – Sophie Cunningham, The Age ‘A beautiful meditation on the streets in which we live, ghosts, love and loss … While there is sadness in this book, Gadd writes with warmth, humour and a generosity of spirit.’ – Stephen Romei, The Weekend Australian ‘An endearing book about enduring love and serendipitous discoveries; of remnants of the past pasted onto old buildings, and the way these ghost signs are portals into another time.’ – The Saturday Paper
