Paperback. Condición: Good. InThe Narrow Door,Paul Lisicky creates a compelling collage of scenes and images drawn from two long-term relationships, one with a woman novelist and the other with his ex-husband, a poet. The contours of these relationships shift constantly. Denise and Paul, stretched by the demands of their writing lives, drift apart, and Paul's romance begins to falter. And the world around them is frail: environmental catastrophes like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural disasters like the earthquake in Haiti, and local disturbances make an unsettling backdrop to the pressing concerns of Denise's cancer diagnosis and Paul's impending breakup. Lisicky's compassionate heart and resilience seem all the stronger in the face of such searing losses. His survival--hard-won, unsentimental, authentic--proves that in turning toward loss, we embrace life.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. When Paul Lisicky arrived in Provincetown in the early 1990s, he was leaving behind a history of family trauma to live in a place outside of time, known for its values of inclusion, acceptance, and art. In this idyllic haven, Lisicky searches for love and connection and comes into his own as he finds a sense of belonging. At the same time, the center of this community is consumed by the AIDS crisis, and the very structure of town life is being rewired out of necessity: What might this utopia look like during a time of dystopia? Later dramatizes a spectacular yet ravaged place and a unique era when more fully becoming one's self collided with the realization that ongoingness couldn't be taken for granted, and staying alive from moment to moment exacted absolute attention. Following the success of his acclaimed memoir, The Narrow Door, Lisicky fearlessly explores the body, queerness, love, illness, community, and belonging in this masterful, ingenious new book.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. "An intimate, impressionistic Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man mode, interwoven with Mitchell myths and parallels."-- New York Times Book Review "An astonishing exploration of what it means to lead an artist's life--how to last, dig deep, change, to embrace one's voice while in conversation with your heroes."--Elizabeth McCracken, author of The Hero of This Book From the celebrated novelist and memoirist, a gorgeous account of how Joni Mitchell's work has shaped his writing throughout his life. From the moment Paul Lisicky heard Joni Mitchell's music while growing up in New Jersey, he recognized she was that rarity among musicians--a talent whose combination of introspection, liberation, and deep musicality set her apart from any other artist of the time. As a young man, Lisicky was a budding songwriter who took his cues from Mitchell's mysteries and idiosyncrasies. But as he matured, he set his guitar aside and turned to prose, a practice that would eventually take him to the Iowa Writers' Workshop and into the professional world of letters, all the while chronicling his own creative process. As the decades passed, Lisicky's connection to Mitchell's artistry only deepened. Her music was a constant, a guide to life, and an artist's manual in one--a powerful example of art and identity intertwining. As he navigated love and heartbreak and imaginative struggles and the vicissitudes of a creative career, he would often return to Mitchell's songs, to the solace and lessons that only her musicianship could give. Paying unique tribute to the woman who shaped generations of creators and thinkers, Lisicky offers his own coming-of-adulthood as testimony to the power of songwriting and staying true to your creative vision. Part memoir, part biography, and part homage, this stunning work of literary nonfiction, Song So Wild and Blue is a joy for devoted Mitchell enthusiasts, budding writers, and artists of all stripes. How does the soundtrack of a life become the blueprint for creating one's own? Music Memoir: Follow a young songwriter's journey from emulating his idol's idiosyncratic style to finding his own voice in prose at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. LGBTQ+ Coming of Age: A deeply personal account of navigating love, heartbreak, and identity as a young gay man, with Joni's music as a constant guide and companion. Songwriting Influence: Go beyond biography in a detailed homage that treats Mitchell's catalog as an artist's manual for navigating the struggles of a creative career. Lyrical Prose: A testament to the power of a single artist to shape another, blending criticism, biography, and personal reflection into a gorgeous tribute.…
