Paperback. Condición: New. 'Last but not least, alive but not at all well, seated near the seat of power, front row, just off centre,  the President's closest friend and bosom buddy,  his court jester and backdoor courtier, Charles Gregory Bebe Rebozo, inscrutable .' A fantasia on the life of Bebe Rebozo, Cuban-American sidekick to President Richard Milhous Nixon, Bebe dives into a swamp of big dicks, bad politics and worse jokes, exploding cigars and lost episodes of I Love Lucy, with a supporting cast of lackeys, stooges, mobsters and other hangers-on.…

Paperback. Condición: New. The Simplon Road is a book about literary obsession. In contrasting essays that delve into childhood and early reading, Ann Pearson and Charles Boyle - who have both written novels about the 19th-century French writer Stendhal - chronicle their involvement with an author who was notoriously keen to cover his tracks.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Handicapped at school by his dyslexia and facing the strap at home, Rocky seeks out his own education from the fields and streams around him on the Isle of Skye. He develops an instinctive talent for improvisation: cord to snare rabbits fashioned from nettle stalks, a bicycle from scrap metal, a trip to France with just a few coins in the pocket of his shorts. Lyrical and continually surprising, this is a heroic narrative on a down-to-earth scale.…

Paperback. Condición: New. In the early 20th century, a woman and her husband emigrate from Estonia to Canada. Voices over Water is their own record of this passage, evoking in the fine detail of their experience the larger forces to which their lives are subject: war, the unyielding land, famine, silence, and the irreducible strangeness of the bond between them. …

Paperback. Condición: New. The Absent Therapist is a book of soundings, a jostle of voices that variously argue, remember, explain, justify, speculate and meander . . . Sons and lovers, wanderers, wonderers, stayers, leavers, readers and believers. These are gripping narratives, with intriguing shifts of register, but they are also technically experimental and daring. Each sentence is weighed, poised. The intelligence with which Will Eaves handles language is modest and rare. The absent therapist is the listening reader to whom this compelling book is a fabulous gift.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Inheritance, Paul Bailey's first book of poems after a lifetime of writing fiction, was acclaimed by Carol Rumens in the Guardian as 'a collection to engage everyone who appreciates elegant craft, shapely storytelling and delicate love lyrics, with a touch of acerbic mischief to offset melancholy and no "poetic" pretentiousness whatever'. In Joie de vivre, Bailey continues to celebrate the living and the dead with 'measured sorrow and delight'. The poems both mourn and laugh, giving age and illness more than a good runfor their money.…

Paperback. Condición: New. A blush is a gulp, a glitch, a stammer, a flutter, a flinch. A blush is hot. A blush is an index of confusion. A blush, according to Darwin, is 'the most peculiar and the most human of all expressions'. A blush says something and it speaks true . Texts by Jack Robinson (with citations from a range of fiction and non-fiction) and colour photographs by Natalia Zagórska-Thomas (including many of her own artwork) investigate the cultural and social history of the blush from the late 18th century to the present day.…

Paperback. Condición: New. These are the stories of one boy's adolescence in the USSR. Sovetica grew from Caroline Clark's fascination with a handful of stereo slides made by her Russian husband in the 1980s. Her unforced retelling of his memories - recorded, translated and transformed - together with the colour and black-and-white photographs bring to the page a way of life that is both humdrum and the stuff of legend.…
