Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition, 2003/ 1st Printing. 249 pp. Synopsis: From Publishers Weekly Lesbian grrrls enjoying the gritty splendors of Los Angeles are the protagonists of this edgy, exuberant debut novel. Leticia Marisol Estrella Torrez is a young woman in her early 20s valia…ntly trying to find her place in a world of queers living life on their own terms, even if it means breaking with the traditions of her past. Leti's conventional grandmother raised her to be a proper young Mexican-American woman, but Leti is seeking more excitement and freedom. With "shaved head and stomping boots, my adolescent dyke dick hard all the time," Leti crashes the dyke scene while treading more sedately around her grandmother and dreaming of Weeping Woman, a dangerous, seductive figure from Mexican folklore who haunte. As she careens through the hipster punk world of Southern California, Leti bounces from girlfriend to girlfriend, learning some valuable lessons the hard way. The enticing women she meets are described in fabulous, over-the-top prose: "My girl Edith: smarty-pants Mission District glamour homegrrrl moved down to Los Angeles on her leopard-print motorcycle." And then there is K, "candy heaven," who battles for Le. The sex is fun, rollicking and a little bit dangerous; the characters are young and guardedly optimistic. Lemus's enthusiasm bubbles over at times, and her flights of poetic fancy are sometimes wobbly ("taking time like starlight in slow motion"; "I got scared by how lemon-lime Otter Pop her toes could get"), but this is an intriguing novel sure to attract re. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist The breezy tone of Lemus' gen-X coming-of-age story keeps one flipping pages, even when its gay heroine, Leticia, a film-school grad who grooms dogs in L.A. rather than face the rigors of a professional career, suffers debilitating loss and heartbreak. Family, blood-related or acquired, and the "Nana" who raised her, in particular, are central to her life, as is also the mythic Weeping Woman, a Hispanic icon whose presence throughout is by turns threatening and comforting. Only when she is at her lowest, grieving dual losses, does "Let" come to terms with the duality of Weeping Woman and her cultural attachment to the icon--a development parallel to her coming to accept the duality of her Anglo-Hispanic and lesbian identity. Engagingly told in quirky English reflecting Let's speech (e.g., "The static crackle jangle of my voice hummed warm reliable"), this story of ultimately strong friendships charms enough to earn its first-time author an early following. Solidly bound copy with minimal external wear. Clean text. Stains on back cover board and back end page bottom. Dj shows minimal use and wear.

Contact seller5-star sellerTrade Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Picador Edition. 276 Pages Indexed. This is the June 2010 First Picador Edition Brand new condition with interior text pages near flawless. A guilty liberal finally snaps, swears off plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power, and generally becomes a tree-hugging lun…atic who tries to save the polar bears and the rest of the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons-loving wife along for the ride. And that's just the beginning. Bill McKibben meets Bill Bryson in this seriously engaging look at one man's decision to put his money where his mouth is and go off the grid for one year-while still living in New York City-to see if it's possible to make no net impact on the environment. In other words, no trash, no toxins in the water, no elevators, no subway, no products in packaging, no air-conditioning, no television. What would it be like to try to live a no-impact lifestyle? Is it possible? Could it catch on? Is living this way more satisfying or less satisfying? Harder or easier? Is it worthwhile or senseless? Are we all doomed or can our culture reduce the barriers to sustainable living so it becomes as easy as falling off a log? These are the questions at the heart of this whole mad endeavor, via which Colin Beavan hopes to explain to the rest of us how we can realistically live a more "eco-effective" and by turns more content life in an age of inconvenient truths.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards with silver spine lettering contained in an as new condition photographic dust jacket. Translated by Jon Rothschild. "At the opening of this gripping book - "the best debut novel of the year," critics called it when it appeare…d in Italy in 1995 - a cadaver is discovered, the body of an impeccable businessman from Munich, in an elaborate garden where topiary shrubs delineate a hidden chessboard behind the hedges. The death seems to b a suicide, with no plausible motivation, but then, as the plot of this passionately colored, cooly controlled thriller unfolds, we begin to see that its apparently random moves are variations on an opening gambit, and it can end only in a checkmate that annihilates the possibility of a rematch. Gary Kasparov has defined chess as "the most violent sport in existence," and that is true in this extroardinary novel, too. For the mortal duel around which it is constructed is between two chess players who are opposed human types - a clever, persecuted Jew and a ruthless, persecuting German - and when they face each other over a chessboard, at first in big international tournaments and then in a Nazi death camp, the stakes are nothing less than life itself." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Lucid and tight from start to finish, with no break in the style .[Maurensig] follows in the tradition of Nabokov, Joseph Roth, and Stefan Zweig.Readers even more than critics are impassioned by the beat of an unpredictable drum: The Luneburg Variation, a first novel, has become the most significant book of the literary year. Their enthusiasm gives hope." - La Stampa. "The real proof of this first-time author's abilities is evident in how he uses the plot of a mystery story, so that it is only on the last page of the book that we discover the dead man's horrible secret .Thus does he introduce the theme of memory and its actualization with those who were responsible for the Holocaust." - L'Unita. "From Maurensig's point of view, chess is a way of life - life itself, in fact. His psychological thriller begins with a mysterious suicide which is discovered to be. rather, a kind of death sentence administered from afar .Maurensig is a master of that controlled, suggestively rticent language that we have encountered in the great Middle European classics, with Zweig, Durrenmatt, and others .This is a dark enchantment." - Corriere Della Sera.
