Hardback. Condición: Good. One of Vogue?s Best Books of the YearOne of Esquire?s Best Books of the Year One of the Wall Street Journal?s Favorite Books of the YearOne of the Most Anticipated Books of the Year: Vogue, Parade, Esquire, Bitch, and Maclean?s A New York Times and Washington Post Book to Watch A fiercely personal memoir about coming of age in the male-dominated literary world of the nineties, becoming the first female literary editor of Esquire, and Miller's personal and working relationship with David Foster WallaceA naive and idealistic twenty-two-year-old from the Midwest, Adrienne Miller got her lucky break when she was hired as an editorial assistant at GQ magazine in the mid-nineties. Even if its sensibilities were manifestly mid-century?the martinis, powerful male egos, and unquestioned authority of kings?GQ still seemed the red-hot center of the literary world. It was there that Miller began learning how to survive in a man?s world. Three years later, she forged her own path, becoming the first woman to take on the role of literary editor of Esquire, home to the male writers who had defined manhood itself? Hemingway, Mailer, and Carver. Up against this old world, she would soon discover that it wanted nothing to do with a ?mere girl.? But this was also a unique moment in history that saw the rise of a new literary movement, as exemplified by McSweeney?s and the work of David Foster Wallace. A decade older than Miller, the mercurial Wallace would become the defining voice of a generation and the fiction writer she would work with most. He was her closest friend, confidant?and antagonist. Their intellectual and artistic exchange grew into a highly charged professional and personal relationship between the most prominent male writer of the era and a young woman still finding her voice. This memoir?a rich, dazzling story of power, ambition, and identity?ultimately asks the question ?How does a young woman fit into this male culture and at what cost?? With great wit and deep intelligence, Miller presents an inspiring and moving portrayal of a young woman?s education in a land of men.?The memoir I?ve been waiting for: a bold, incisive, and illuminating story of a woman whose devotion to language and literature comes at a hideous cost. It?s Joanna Rakoff?s My Salinger Year updated for the age of She Said: a literary New York now long past; an intimate, fiercely realist portrait of a mythic literary figure; and now, a tender reckoning with possession, power, and what Jia Tolentino called the ?Important, Inappropriate Literary Man.? A poised and superbly perceptive narration of the problems of working with men, and of loving them.?? Eleanor Henderson, author of 10,000 Saints.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Poet Leslie Adrienne Miller's brilliant and provocative exploration of anatomical texts and historical assumptions about the bodyWhoever they were, they're still with us, posing demurely in suits of bloodand muscle, the bruised shadowsof what skin they do have . . . --from Gautier d'Agoty's EcorchesThe resurrection trade, the business of trafficking in corpses, is an old trade, one that makes possible the art of anatomy and, as poet Leslie Adrienne Miller discovers, the art of her own book. Miller delves into the mysteries of early anatomical studies and medical illustrations and finds there stories of women's lives--sometimes tragic, sometimes comic--as exposed as the drawings themselves. These meticulously researched and rendered poems become powerful testimonies to women's bodies objectified and misunderstood throughout history. Miller's sensuous and harrowing fifth collection brings a new truth to what she calls the strange collusion of imaginary science and real art. …
