Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reminiscent of Edna OBrien, with shades too of Jean Rhys. The Irish Times Things to Come and Go showcases the incomparable talent of Bette Howland in three novellas of stunning power, beauty, and sustaining humour. Birds of a Feather is a daughters story of her extended, first-generation family, the big, brassy yak-yakking Abarbanels. Esti, a merciless, astute observer, recalls growing up amid (the confusions and difficulties of) their history, quarrels, judgements, noisy love and inescapable bonds of blood. In The Old Wheeze a single mother in her twenties returns to her sunless apartment after a date at the ballet. Shifting between four viewpoints the young woman, the older professor who took her out, her son, and her sons babysitter the story masterfully captures the impossibility of liberating ourselves from the self. In The Life You Gave Me, a woman at the midpoint of life is called to her fathers sickbed. A lament for all that is forever unsaid and unsayable, the story is an anguished meditation on growing up, growing old and being left behind, a complaint against time. (The New York Times) First published in 1984, Things to Come and Go, Bette Howlands final book, is a collection of haunting urgency about arrivals and departures, and the private, insoluble dramas in the lives of three women. With an introduction by Rumaan Alam, bestselling author of Leave the World Behind. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'W-3 is one hell of a debut' Lucy Scholes, Paris Review'At moments dazzlingly and daringly written' Rachel Cooke, Observer'Howland is finally getting the recognition that she deserves' Sarah Hughes, iNewsW-3 is a small psychiatric ward in a large university hospital, a world of pills and passes dispensed by an all-powerful staff, a world of veteran patients with grab-bags of tricks, a world of dishevelled, moment-to-moment existence on the edge of permanence.Bette Howland was one of those patients. In 1968, Howland was thirty-one, a single mother of two young sons, struggling to support her family on the part-time salary of a librarian; and labouring day and night at her typewriter to be a writer. One afternoon, while staying at her friend Saul Bellow's apartment, she swallowed a bottle of pills.W-3 is a vivid - and often surprisingly funny - portrait of the extraordinary community of Ward 3 and a record of a defining moment in a writer's life. The book itself would be her salvation: she wrote herself out of the grave.Originally published in 1974 and rediscovered forty years later, this is the first edition of W-3 to be published in the UK. With an original introduction by Yiyun Li, author of Where Reasons End.'For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way . . . At last it had dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.' Bette Howlands illuminating and bracing account of life in a psych ward, which marked her powerful entrance onto the literary scene, now with an introduction by Yiyun Li, author of Where Reasons End. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. Mòdul 3 és el testimoni d'una ment brillant a la vora de l'abisme. L'any 1968 Bette Howland tenia trenta-un anys, era mare divorciada amb dos nens petits al seu càrrec i tirava endavant la família amb un sou de mitja jornada de bibliotecària. Una tarda va empassar-se un pot sencer de somnífers. Mòdul 3 és un retrat extraordinari de la comunitat de pacients que habitaven la secció de psiquiatria de l'hospital universitari de Chicago on va ser ingressada. En paraules de Saul Bellow: «Els pacients del Mòdul 3, blancs i negres, homes i dones, atordits, entranyables, suïcides, desgraciats, no se?ns presenten pas com casos d?estudi, sinó com si fossin els nostres germans. Bette Howland és una escriptora de veritat. » Howland va publicar dos llibres més i va desaparèixer de l?atenció pública. El 2015, quan l?editora Brigid Hughes va descobrir un exemplar de Mòdul 3 a la cistella d?un dòlar d?una llibreria de segona mà, feia temps que la seva obra havia quedat descatalogada i oblidada. Fins ara. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.

Rústica con solapas. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. Intelectual de un barrio obrero de Chicago y madre soltera de dos niños, Howland fue una escritora extraordinaria que vivió quebrantada por la pobreza y la autoexigencia. La presente antología reúne nueve relatos y dos nouvelle que transcurren en los años setenta y tienen a Chicago como piedra angular. En ellos nos adentramos en una boda judía y conocemos a familiares inhóspitos; presenciamos la brecha inevitable entre madres e hijas; visitamos las bibliotecas públicas, plagadas de gente que no tiene otro lugar a donde ir, y asistimos a un kaddish por la muerte de un amigo querido. Los personajes, atrapados siempre en alguna violencia o condena & x02014;el matrimonio, el sistema, la raza& x02014;, le sirven a la escritora para mostrar su mirada incisiva sobre el mundo. . Mar en calma y feliz viaje da cuenta de la maestría con la que Howland cabalga de la autoficción a la crónica. Con un afilado sentido del humor que, a pesar de ser amargo, lo ilumina todo, la escritora relata la tensión y las incertidumbres de toda una generación en un volumen que devuelve al canon literario a una autora monumental, cuyo talento fue ampliamente reconocido antes de desaparecer durante décadas.

By the time of her death in 2015 none of her works were still in print.
