Paperback. Condition: Good. Between 1920 and 1964, the Bronx Bombers dominated the game of baseball. It was a time when baseball players enjoyed an elevated status as national icons, a time when men wearing baggy, flannel uniforms and sporting pancake gloves played for little more than the love of the game.

Mira is a desperate young woman, hired by a wealthy single mother to tutor her lonesome son, Yuchan. But Mira is not who she presents herself to be; she is haunted by the death of her own family and motivated by the dark pulse of vengeance. Yuchan was cruel to Mira's mother. A kind of cruelty she can't ever forgive.   And then there is Jiwon, the boy's mother, a bad mother, Mira thinks--or so Jiwon tells herself she must not be.   But as Mira spends more time in the family's sprawling home, she begins to suspect Yuchan is not the culprit she's after. Someone else in the family has been pulling the strings. Someone with a deviant plan she can't begin to imagine.   Structured around four different letters and journal entries: Mira's, Jiwon's reply, Yuchan's younger brother's diary entry and, finally, Mira's own written recollection. Each new section brings us deeper into a web of cruelty, consequence, and closer to the truth. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. For most of his Broadway plays Tennessee Williams composed an essay, most often for The New York Times, to be published just prior to opening?something to whet the theatergoers? appetites and to get the critics thinking. Many of these were collected in the 1978 volume Where I Live, which is now expanded by noted Williams scholar John S. Bak to include all of Williams? theater essays, biographical pieces, introductions and reviews. This volume also includes a few occasional pieces, program notes, and a discreet selection of juvenilia such as his 1927 essay published in Smart Set, which answers the question ?Can a good wife be a good sport?? Wonderful and candid stories abound in these essays?from erudite observations on the theater to veneration for great actresses. In ?Five Fiery Ladies? Williams describes his fascinated, deep appreciation of Vivien Leigh, Geraldine Page, Anna Magnani, Katharine Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor, all of whom created roles in stage or film versions of his plays. There are two tributes to his great friend Carson McCullers; reviews of Cocteau?s film Orpheus and of two novels by Paul Bowles; a portrait of Williams? longtime agent Audrey Wood; a salute to Tallulah Bankhead; a political statement from 1972, ?We Are Dissenters Now?; some hilarious stories in response to Elia Kazan?s frequent admonition, ?Tennessee, Never Talk to An Actress?; and Williams? most moving and astute autobiographical essay, ?The Man in the Overstuffed Chair.? Theater critic and essayist John Lahr has provided a terrific foreword which sheds further light on Tennessee Williams? writing process, always fueled by Williams? self-deprecating humor and his empathy for life?s nonconformists.…
