The Uncollected David Rakoff
Author: David Rakoff
Publisher: Anchor Canada
ISBN: 0385676158
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Bestselling and Thurber Prize–winning humorist David Rakoff was one of the most original, delightfully acerbic voices of his generation. Here, in one place, is the best of his previously uncollected material—most never before published in book form. David Rakoff’s singular personality spills from every page of this witty and entertaining volume, which includes travel features, early fiction works, pop culture criticism, and transcripts of his most memorable appearances on public radio’s Fresh Air and This American Life. These writings chart his transformation from fish out of water, meekly arriving for college in 1982, to a proud New Yorker bluntly opining on how to walk properly in the city. They show his unparalleled ability to capture the pleasures of solitary pursuits like cooking and crafting, especially in times of trouble; as well as the ups and downs in the life-span of a friendship, whether it is a real relationship or an imaginary correspondence between Gregor Samsa and Dr. Seuss (co-authored with Jonathan Goldstein). Also included is his novel-in-verseLove, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish. By turns hilarious, incisive and deeply moving, this collection highlights the many facets of Rakoff’s huge talent and shows the arc of his remarkable career. With a foreword by Paul Rudnick.

The Findings of Magic

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 33
Book Description
Magic Lost. And Found. Katie makes magical beads. Desired by her best clients, Atlanta's powerful and rich. But now she frantically searches for a lost set. Never suspecting another seeks not only her beads, but Katie herself. What happens when the two cross paths, hot on the trail of so much treasure? An excerpt from The Findings of Magic: Vanished, but not without a trace Katie knew her instincts and the pull of familiar magic were right. The last few of her missing beads had been here in this otherwise ordinary emporium, and not long ago, either. Their music lingered as a whispery echo, stirring her blood and bones. But they were gone now. She slowly settled her hands onto the delightfully tactile sea of beads anyway. Sinking her fingers into cool and smooth and rough and scratchy. Cheap and well-made, ordinary and carrying faint traces of power. Enough power that she might have carefully gathered those to add into designs to support the stronger pieces and increase their potency. She would have, if she hadn't been on the trail of the last few of the most potent beads she'd ever had the privilege of handling.
