Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The fifth in the "Literary Cities" series, Literary Houston gathers together historical and contemporary writing about this Texas city that everyone loves to hate. Rather than organize the pieces chronologically, Editor David Theis has assembled works according to themes such as biography and memoir; visitors; the city itself; events; poetry; and fiction. From Cabeza de Vaca's early experiences to the Enron debacle, Theis presents Houston in a new, critical light.After the Battle of San Jacinto, perhaps no one but the Allen brothers, land speculators from New York, could have imagined a city growing on the forlorn banks of Buffalo Bayou. But in what was the city's first, but certainly not last, work of fiction, they sold their vision of a great city growing in a place that "Nature appears to have Designated. for the future Government. It is handsome and beautifully elevated, salubrious and well watered." Well, Houston is well watered. Undeterred by the mosquitoes and the general swampiness of the land, Houston grew immediately and attracted such pen-in-hand nineteenth-century visitors as Frederick Law Olmstead and Andrew Sweet. The city has been the subject of sometimes appalled, sometimes thrilled commentary by passsers-through ever since; such vistors as H.L. Mencken, Jan Morris, Stanley Crouch, Norman Mailer, Ada Louise Huxtable, and even Simone de Beauvoir have reported on what they found.But it's in the stories of Houstonians themselves (even the temporary Houstonians) that the city's reason for being best comes into focus. It's been a city of driven, ambitious people who often made an early mark here and moved on: Howard Hughes; Barbara Jordan; Walter Cronkite; the two Albert Guerards, father and son; and musicians like Lightnin' Hopkins, Willie Nelson, and Townes Van Zandt, to name a few.Important writers have grown up here: Donald Barthelme, Vassar Miller, Rick Bass. Other authors, like prose writers Larry McMurtry, Antonya Nelson, Mary Gaitskill, Phillip Lopate, Rosellen Brown, and Max Apple, and poets Tony Hoagland, Edward Hirsch, and Mark Doty came here to study, teach, and write. The city has fostered a burgeoning writing community outside the university. Lorenzo Thomas, Rich Levy, Daniel Rifenburgh and numerous others have left their marks on a city that defies easy description. Originally published in hardcover in 2010. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Añadir al carritoSoft cover. Condición: As New. 1st Edition. Book Condition; As New, appears unread. First Edition stated. Dimensions: 0.5 x 5.5 x 8.5 inches Weight: 11.2 ounces. This remarkable first novel, written in clean, vivid prose by David Theis, leads the reader through an exotic labyrinth as the protagonist, Daniel, attempts to understand the irrational acts that have shaped his life. Dan, a photographer, has traveled to a teaching job in Mexico with his beautiful mixed-race wife and young daughter, hoping to find a new life following her marital infidelity and his responding botched suicide attempt. Instead, he discovers a complex, secretive world of casual violence and moral insubstantiality. When his wife leaves him for the wealthy patron he's been working for, Dan is overwhelmed with anger and guilt. His subsequent quest to regain his family and redeem his life takes him deep into the heart of Mexico City, to an eccentric pension owned by a defrocked French priest that provides sanctuary for a group of international misfits. From the moment that Dan's caged hawk survives the onslaught of an eighteen-wheeler, we realize that this is no ordinary story of marital pain and attempted reconciliation. Interior symbolism that contributes to an occasionally dream-like landscape offers a cohesive resonance to the surface narrative. Dan's attempt to understand how the childhood experience of desertion by his father continues to threaten his own life is enriched with the vivid visual imagery of Mexico, from the aloof hawk whose beak and eyes evoke those of his lost parent to the recurrent presence of the Virgin of Guadalupe. As he pursues his quest, finally confronting el patron on his own turf, we are captivated by this compelling and ultimately unforgettable story of a young man's attempt to deserve happiness.
