Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A poignant, evocative, and wonderfully gossipy account of the two sisters who represented style and class above all else?Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill?from the authors of Furious Love.When sixty-four-year-old Jackie Kennedy Onassis died in her Fifth Avenue apartment, her younger sister Lee wept inconsolably. Then Jackie?s thirty-eight-page will was read. Lee discovered that substantial cash bequests were left to family members, friends, and employees?but nothing to her. "I have made no provision in this my Will for my sister, Lee B. Radziwill, for whom I have great affection, because I have already done so during my lifetime," read Jackie?s final testament. Drawing on the authors? candid interviews with Lee Radziwill, The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters explores their complicated relationship, placing them at the center of twentieth-century fashion, design, and style.In life, Jackie and Lee were alike in so many ways. Both women had a keen eye for beauty?in fashion, design, painting, music, dance, sculpture, poetry?and both were talented artists. Both loved pre-revolutionary Russian culture, and the blinding sunlight, calm seas, and ancient olive groves of Greece. Both loved the siren call of the Atlantic, sharing sweet, early memories of swimming with the rakish father they adored, Jack Vernou Bouvier, at his East Hampton retreat. But Jackie was her father?s favorite, and Lee, her mother?s. One would grow to become the most iconic woman of her time, while the other lived in her shadow. As they grew up, the two sisters developed an extremely close relationship threaded with rivalry, jealousy, and competition. Yet it was probably the most important relationship of their lives.For the first time, Vanity Fair contributing editor Sam Kashner and acclaimed biographer Nancy Schoenberger tell the complete story of these larger-than-life sisters. Drawing on new information and extensive interviews with Lee, now eighty-four, this dual biography sheds light on the public and private lives of two extraordinary women who lived through immense tragedy in enormous glamour.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First student of the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, Sam Kashner tells with humor and grace his life with the Beats. But the best story is Kashner himself -- the coming-of-age of a young man in the chaotic world of the very idols he hoped to emulate. The narrative follows Kashner through the surreal daily routines of 1970s Boulder, where legendary literary figures appear as aging, eccentric mentors. The Jack Kerouac School surrounds its solitary apprentice with unconventional domestic duties, from typing manuscripts to navigating unpredictable household demands. Kashner records every backstage absurdity with dry candor, revealing the fragile humanity behind towering artistic reputations. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. Literary Memoir: Follows Kashner's intimate apprenticeship to Allen Ginsberg, from sorting personal files to being assigned the daunting task of finishing an uncompleted poem about Neal Cassady. American Poetry: Chronicles chaotic encounters with Gregory Corso as he pawned wristwatches, recited ancient Sumerian epics, and dragged his student through Boulder on stolen bicycles. 60s Counterculture: Captures the domestic eccentricities of William S. Burroughs, who greeted guests in a three-piece suit, dispensed advice from an orgone box, and monitored voices on tape recorders. Buddhism: Documents the culture clash at the Naropa Institute, where Tibetan meditation master Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche challenged the poets to abandon their egos.…
