5/13/2023 0 Comments 1959 novel by william burroughsThese letters reveal the extraordinary route that took Burroughs from narrative to anti-narrative, from Junky to Naked Lunch and the discovery of cut-ups, a turbulent journey crossing two decades and three continents. More than that, they also show how in the period 1945-1959, letter-writing was itself integral to his life and to his fiction-making. This meticulously assembled volume of his correspondence vividly documents the personal and cultural history through which Burroughs developed, revealing clues to illuminate his life and keys to open up his texts. Burroughs has had a range of influence rivalled by few living writers.

Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History, Harvard College Professor, and chair of Harvard's History and Literature Program. Lepore's life of Jane Franklin, with its strikingly original vantage on Benjamin Franklin, is at once a wholly different account of the founding and one of the great untold stories of American history and letters. Making use of an astonishing cache of little-studied material, including documents, objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not only this one extraordinary woman but an entire world. It is a life that has never been examined before: that of the sister of one of the most remarkable men of their time, living unknown to the world at large, but a constant presence and influence in her brother's life through their correspondence (he wrote more letters to her than to anyone else). From one of our most accomplished and widely admired historians-a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin's youngest sister, whose obscurity and poverty were matched only by her brother's fame and wealth but who, like him, was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator. 5/13/2023 0 Comments The witching hour books in orderIt is a novel that moves around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of "a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day." Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga. Now, in her new novel, Anne Rice brings us again - even more magically - into the midst of the dynasty of witches she introduced in "The Witching Hour." At the center: the brilliant and beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, and "Lasher," the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. And with the publication of "The Witching Hour," she created for us yet another world and legend, and both the chorus of praise (see back of jacket) and the multitudes of her readers once more increased. From the day her first Vampire Chronicle was published, critics and readers - readers by the hundreds of thousands - have been mesmerized by the writings of Anne Rice. 5/13/2023 0 Comments James and cordelia chain of ironCordelia longs to protect James but is torn between a love for James she has long believed hopeless, and the possibility of a new life with Matthew.

Her plots are suspenseful and surprising, as full of twists and puzzles as the hedge maze in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Rowling is an excellent spinner of tales, who weaves an engrossing story. Plot is one cause of the books' popularity. Harry Potter's success has many causes: plot, characters, setting, and theme among them. There has been merchandising aplenty, but it has followed the success of the books, not caused that success. The remarkable popularity of the Harry Potter stories cannot be explained as the result of merchandising. In one month in 2007, all seven Harry Potter books were on the list of ten best-sellers. The books have been translated into sixty-five languages, including Hindi, Icelandic, Latin, Vietnamese, and Welsh. Of the first six books, 325 million copies have been sold around the globe. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sold 8.3 million copies in the United States during the first twenty-four hours after its publication. This cycle of seven stories is undoubtedly the major fantasy work of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
