A young wife's new job pits her against the unfeeling machinations of the universe in a first novel Ursula K. Le Guin hails as funny, sad, scary, beautiful. I love it. In a windowless building in a remote part of town, the newly employed Josephine inputs an endless string of numbers into something known only as The Database. After a long period of joblessness, she's not inclined to question her fortune, but as the days inch by and the files stack up, Josephine feels increasingly anxious in her surroundings-the office's scarred pinkish walls take on a living quality, the drone of keyboards echoes eerily down the long halls. When one evening her husband Joseph disappears and then returns, offering no explanation as to his whereabouts, her creeping unease shifts decidedly to dread. As other strange events build to a crescendo, the haunting truth about Josephine's work begins to take shape in her mind, even as something powerful is gathering its own form within her. She realizes that in order to save those she holds most dear, she must penetrate an institution whose tentacles seem to extend to every corner of the city and beyond. Both chilling and poignant, The Beautiful Bureaucrat is a novel of rare restraint and imagination. With it, Helen Phillips enters the company of Murakami, Bender, and Atwood as she twists the world we know and shows it back to us full of meaning and wonder-luminous and new.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. NATIONAL BOOK AWARD longlist nominee, Helen Phillips's debut novel, And Yet They Were Happy is "A gallery of marvels." A young couple comes of age in a surreal world of apocalypse, delight, longing, and tenderness.  "Brilliant miniatures. . . . Like the fables of Calvino, Millhauser, or W.S. Merwin. . . . Beautifully blends short story and prose poem. . . . Mermaids, subways, floods, cucumbers, magicians. . . .The book is a gallery of marvels. Phillips guides us through the 'Hall of Nostalgia For Things We Have Never Seen,' 'the factory where the virgins are made,' and 'the Anne Frank School for Expectant Mothers.' A depressed Noah admits he 'didn't get them all,' a wife guesses which of two identical men is her husband, a regime orders citizens to grow raspberries on windowsills. [Helen Phillips'] quietly elegant sentences are as clear as spring water, haunting as our own childhood memories."--Michael Dirda "A deeply interesting mind is at work in these wry, lyrical stories. Phillips exploits the duality of our nature to create a timeless and most engaging collection."--Amy Hempel "Haunted and lyrical and edible all at once."--Rivka Galchen A young couple sets out to build a life together in an unstable world haunted by monsters, plagued by disasters, full of longing--but also one of transformation, wonder, and delight, peopled by the likes of Noah, Bob Dylan, the Virgin Mary, and Anne Frank. Hovering between reality and fantasy, whimsy and darkness, these linked fables describe a universe both surreal and familiar. Helen Phillips received a 2009 Rona Jaffe Writer's Award, 2009 Meridian Editors' Prize, and 2008 Italo Calvino Fabulist Fiction Prize. Her work has appeared in many literary journals and two anthologies. She holds degrees from Yale University and Brooklyn College, and teaches creative writing at Brooklyn College.…

Cloth. Condición: Very Good. A very scarce alternative to textbooks for biology teachers, hoping to stimulate the imagination while teaching basic principles. The very scarce A Cycle of Nature Study suitable for Children under Twelve Years of Age: Being Suggestions for Teachers in Town and Country Schools, written by headmistress Maria Matilda Penstone. Published in 1908, with the chapters first published in the School Guardian. Only five copies of this work are institutionally held in the UK, including at the British Library. In the publisher's original green cloth, with in-text illustrations by Helen Phillips. Offering an alternative to the rather weighty and dry textbooks offered to teachers, this charming guide contains easy-to-understand principles and facts for those teaching biology. Penstone, who also managed a training college for kindergarten teachers, believed in tailoring lessons to the child's imagination. In the publisher's original green cloth. Externally, mostly smart, with a couple of faint marks. Slight rubbing to joints and edges, with bumping to the head and tail of the spine, and to the extremities. Slight offsetting to end papers with a couple of faint spots. Previous owner's ink inscriptions to front free end paper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are mostly bright and clean, with a couple of faint spots to first and final leaves, and offsetting to final advertisement leaf. Very Good. Helen Phillips (ilustrador). book.…
