Описание: The author is the sort of person who learned about sex from her father`s copy of "Fanny Hill", and who once found herself poring over a 1974 Toyota Corolla manual because it was the only thing in her apartment that she had not read at least twice. This title recounts her lifelong obsession with books.

Описание: Is a book the same book--or a reader the same reader--the second time around? The seventeen authors in this witty and poignant collection of essays all agree on the answer: Never. The editor of "Rereadings "is Anne Fadiman, and readers of her bestselling book "Ex Libris "will find this volume especially satisfying. Her chosen authors include Sven Birkerts, Allegra Goodman, Vivian Gornick, Patricia Hampl, Phillip Lopate, and Luc Sante; the objects of their literary affections range from "Pride and Prejudice "to "Sue Barton, Student Nurse." These essays are not conventional literary criticism; they are about relationships. "Rereadings "reveals at least as much about the reader as about the book: each is a miniature memoir that focuses on that most interesting of topics, the protean nature of love. And as every bibliophile knows, no love is more life-changing than the love of a book.

Описание: In "At Large and At Small," Anne Fadiman returns to one of her favorite genres, the familiar essay--a beloved and hallowed literary tradition recognized for both its intellectual breadth and its miniaturist focus on everyday experiences. With the combination of humor and erudition that has distinguished her as one of our finest essayists, Fadiman draws us into twelve of her personal obsessions: from her slightly sinister childhood enthusiasm for catching butterflies to her monumental crush on Charles Lamb, from her wistfulness for the days of letter-writing to the challenges and rewards of moving from the city to the country. Many of these essays were composed "under the influence" of the subject at hand. Fadiman ingests a shocking amount of ice cream and divulges her passion for Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Chocolate Chip and her brother's homemade Liquid Nitrogen Kahlua Coffee (recipe included); she sustains a terrific caffeine buzz while recounting Balzac's coffee addiction; and she stays up till dawn to write about being a night owl, examining the rhythms of our circadian clocks and sharing such insomnia cures as her father's nocturnal word games and Lewis Carroll's mathematical puzzles. "At Large and At Small "is a brilliant and delightful collection of essays that harkens a revival of a long-cherished genre. Anne Fadiman is the Francis Writer-in-Residence at Yale.

"Detailed and elegant, her essays] reveal a reflective writer with rarefied interests . . . an] engaging mixture of intellectual exploration, textured storytelling and accessible prose."--"Time Out New York ""This essay collection by the former editor of "The American Scholar" attempts to bring back the 'familiar essay, ' a less formal rumination on a given topic. From homemade ice cream to the charms of being a night owl, the subjects of these essays may seem as if they're chosen without any discrimination (hence the title), but they're all equally celebrated with Fadiman's wit and insight."--"Venus Zine" "Anne Fadiman wins our attention by directing hers with unwavering focus at the world around her. Her perceptions are astute and her sensibility is so rich and sane no calculation could violate it. The personal essay was invented so that writers like Fadiman could practice it."--Sven Birkerts "Limpid, learned, perspicacious--and relentless.

A memoir by the celebrated essayist that explores her relationship with her father, a lover of wine
In The Wine Lover's Daughter, Anne Fadiman examines--with all her characteristic wit and feeling--her relationship with her father, Clifton Fadiman, a renowned literary critic, editor, and radio host whose greatest love was wine. An appreciation of wine--along with a plummy upper-crust accent, expensive suits, and an encyclopedic knowledge of Western literature--was an essential element of Clifton Fadiman's escape from lower-middle-class Brooklyn to swanky Manhattan. But wine was not just a class-vaulting accessory; it was an object of desire. The Wine Lover's Daughter traces the arc of a man's infatuation, from the glass of cheap Graves he drank in Paris in 1927; through the Chвteau Lafite Rothschild 1904 he drank to celebrate his eightieth birthday, when he and the bottle were exactly the same age; to the wines that sustained him in his last years, when he was blind but still buoyed, as always, by hedonism. Wine is the spine of this touching memoir; the life and character of Fadiman's father, along with her relationship with him and her own less ardent relationship with wine, are the flesh. The Wine Lover's Daughter is a poignant exploration of love, ambition, class, family, and the pleasures of the palate by one of our finest essayists.

The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down explores the clash between a small county hospital in California and a refugee family from Laos over the care of Lia Lee, a Hmong child diagnosed with severe epilepsy.

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest, and the Salon Book Award, Anne Fadiman's compassionate account of this cultural impasse is literary journalism at its finest. ______ Lia Lee 1982-2012 Lia Lee died on August 31, 2012.

Help instill a love of words and language--and an early appreciation for their vast possibilities--with this read aloud for children.
A worm that lives on words, Wally finds himself starved for inspiration, until one day, he crawls into a magical book: the dictionary. What tasty discoveries he makes between its covers. Wally starts small but soon develops a taste for rarer words and gleefully twists himself into the likes of "syzygy" and "sesquipedalian," "pyx" and "zymurgy." From its first publication in 1964, children and adults alike have been delighted by Wally's wriggling through rhymes and words of increasing ambition and complexity, his acrobatics whimsically illustrated by cartoonist Arnold Roth. Clifton Fadiman was a distinguished author, editor, and radio and television personality. Over the course of his career, he was the editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster, the book critic of The New Yorker, and the host of the popular radio program Information Please. In 1993, Fadiman received the National Book Award for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. This edition includes an afterword by Clifton Fadiman's daughter, Anne Fadiman, who wrote a memoir of her father, The Wine Lover's Daughter. Wally the Wordworm is a one-of-a-kind read-aloud treat for word-loving parents and kids to share.
