Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - From the author of FIELDS OF LIGHT: A SON REMEMBERS HIS HEROIC FATHER (winner of the Pushcart Editors' Book Award), and the novel BEFORE, comes this collection of twelve tales. 'Like Chekhov or Carver,' the poet Matt W. Miller has written, of Hurka's novel BEFORE, 'Hurka is able to make us feel empathy for these people by showing that these people are us.' The stories of GRACEFUL LIES offer us characters who search for certainty, and who sometimes, in moments of illumination, find salvation.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In nineteen finely honed, deftly realized short stories, Rebecca Rule crafts with gentle wit and striking clarity a conglomeration of sometimes ragtag but always appealing small-town denizens, each of whom squares off against a nemesis of a singular sort. With an eye for the signature detail, an ear for the rhythms of regional speech, and a strong feel for the nuances of rural culture, Rule maintains a fine balance between humor and pathos that prompted National Book Award winner Thomas Williams to comment, 'Cold honesty gleams from every careful sentence.' Twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Rule captures the essence of small-town New England life as she paints with a sure hand the fallings-out and friendships, the trials and triumphs of the New England microcosm. In 'Yankee Curse,' elderly Miranda knits placidly at a town meeting, pondering an amazing string of unspoken invective against an enemy but stopping short at 'a curse she would never levy, not even on Mort Wallace: to live too long.' In 'Minna Runs for Selectman,' a middle-aged woman's battlefield is 'the strange, incestuous politics of this eccentric little town' but her real opponent is her own insecurity. In 'Jim's Boat' a young couple wages a silent struggle over priorities in their marriage; in 'Fishing with George' a small girl worries that 'there's a hole in our family that gets bigger every time' her parents argue; and in the title story a mother copes with a hated neighbor through a sculpture that 'makes her laugh the kind of laugh that doesn't end in a sob.' Children and grandmothers, trappers and college professors, lifetime Yankees or transplanted Flatlanders: each finds the truth in Rule's observationthat 'revenge takes many forms -- some of which can heal.'.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In this debut collection, Mark Wunderlich creates a central metaphor of the body as anchor for the soul -- but it is a body in peril, one set in motion through the landscape of desire. In poems located in New York's summer streets, in the barren snowfields of Wisconsin, and along stretches of Cape Cod's open shoreline, the lover speaks to the beloved in the form of lyrical missives, arguments, and intimate monologues. The poems converse with each other; images repeat and echo in an effect that is strange and beautiful. Uniting the collection is an original and consistent voice -- one that has found a hard won stance against the haphazard and negotiates with what is needful and sufficient.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A year-long odyssey under the hood of a 1950 Dodge pickup among the brake shoes and valves becomes more than a mechanic's memoir; it is a meditation on machines, metaphysics, and the moral universe. Nearly two decades after the first publication, the essential dilemma of Truck still rings true: as Jerome dismantles the aged straight six, he also disassembles our reliance on 'two-hundred-dollar appliances that sport flaws in thirty-five cent parts' and decries the 'deliberate encapsulation, impenetrability, of the overtechnologized things with which we furnish our lives'. Despite gouged knuckles, a frigid New Hampshire winter, frustrating and inexplicable assemblies, and a close call when the truck rolls off its jacks, he perseveres. In the end, he admits, 'I did not find God out there in the barn among the cans of nuts and bolts'. What he does find, however, is that he must make peace with technology.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - On a freezing night in January 1993, masked gunmen walked through the laughably lax security at the Rochester Brink¿s depot, tied up the guards, and unhurriedly made off with $7.4 million in one of the FBI¿s top-five armored car heists in history. Suspicion quickly fell on a retired Rochester cop working security for Brinks at the time¿as well it might. Officer Tom O¿Connor had been previously suspected of everything from robbery to murder to complicity with the IRA. One ex-IRA soldier in particular was indebted to O¿Connor for smuggling him and his girlfriend into the United States, and when he was caught in New York City with $2 million in cash from the Brink¿s heist, prosecutors were certain they finally had enough to nail O¿Connor. But they were wrong. In Seven Million, the reporter Gary Craig meticulously unwinds the long skein of leads, half-truths, false starts, and dead ends, taking us from the grim solitary pens of Northern Ireland¿s Long Kesh prison to the illegal poker rooms of Manhattan to the cold lakeshore on the Canadian border where the body parts began washing up. The story is populated by a colorful cast of characters, including cops and FBI agents, prison snitches, a radical priest of the Melkite order who ran a home for troubled teenagers on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and the IRA rebel who¿d spent long years jailed in one of Northern Ireland¿s most brutal prisons and who was living underground in New York posing as a comics dealer. Finally, Craig investigates the strange, sad fate of Ronnie Gibbons, a down-and-out boxer and muscle-for-hire in illegal New York City card rooms, who was in on the early planning of the heist, and who disappeared one day in 1995 after an ill-advised trip to Rochester to see some men about getting what he felt he was owed. Instead, he got was what was coming to him. Seven Million is a meticulous re-creation of a complicated heist executed by a variegated and unsavory crew, and of its many repercussions. Some of the suspects are now dead, some went to jail; none of them are talking about the robbery or what really happened to Ronnie Gibbons. And the money Only a fraction was recovered, meaning that most of the $7 million is still out there somewhere.
