Item Description
- A Story Lately Told, by Anjelica Huston
- The Richard Burton Diaries, Edited by Chris Williams
- Buck, A Memoir, by MK Asante
- Dreadful, The Short Life and Gay Times of John Horne Burns, by David Margolick
A Story Lately Told Writing with an exuberant love of language and detail, Anjelica Huston shares her enchanted childhood in Ireland, her teen years in London, and her coming-of-age as a model and nascent actress in New York... Beguiling and beautifully written, Huston's memoir is a treasure.
The Richard Burton Diaries Edited by professor of Welsh history Chris William, the diaries of Richard Burton portray a man —a family man, a father, a husband---often troubled and always keenly observing. Understood through his own words, Burton becomes a fully rounded human being who, with a wealth of talent and a surprising burden of insecurity, confronts the peculiar challenges of life lived in the spotlight.
Buck, A Memoir Buck is the unforgettable story of MK Asante’s rise from dealer and delinquent to writer, filmmaker, poet, and professor. It is a powerful memoir of how a precocious kid educated himself with the most unconventional of teachers—outlaws, and eccentrics, rappers and ghetto philosophers, and eventually, an alternative school that transformed his life with a single blank sheet of paper.
Dreadful: The Short Life and Gay Times of John Horne Burns Vanity Fair contributor and former New York Times legal affairs editor, David Margolick exhumes the meteoric life of a forgotten literary maverick in this remarkable new biography. Through a host of letters, interviews with those who knew Burns intimately, Margolick masterfully reconstructs the pained and brilliant life of a gay literary prodigy struggling to carve out an existence in a repressed society.
Bonus Book! That is All, by John Hodgman. The last book in a trilogy of Complete World Knowledge, That is All compiles incredibly handy made-up facts into brief articles, overlong lists, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar themes, just in time for the return of Quetzalcoatl and the end of human history in 2012.
