Coming of Age: Photographs from Aperture Price: $30.60 Customer Review:  I ordered this thinking that the book would contain more photographs like the one on the cover, strong, sensual images of young men/boys making the transition from childhood to adulthood, and all that that entails. There were some great images in the book, the 15 yo matador and his family, the boy... |

The Cardiff Team: Ten Stories from New Directions Publishing Corporation Price: $22.95 Customer Review:  How is it that the finest, wittiest, most humane writer in the United States was recently called "prurient" by a major book review? It would seem that the greatest threat to American letters remains the American literary establishment. Our greatest writers have always worked on the fringes of this... |

A Table of Green Fields: Ten Stories from New Directions Publishing Corporation Price: $21.95 Customer Review: No one plays with the assumptions of a reader in terms of genre, plot, image, or even sentence structure like Davenport. This book is one of his best. And in terms of the general American literary scene, this book is one the greatest! |

Cabbages and Kings from Amereon Ltd Price: $24.95 Customer Review: I am glad O Henry escaped from his Texas prison, because his period of exile in Honduras provided him with beautiful fodder for this book. Actually, it is a series of linking vignettes about a mythical town (Coralio) in the mythical Central American "Banana Republic" of Anchuria. The protagonists... |

The Geography of the Imagination: Forty Essays (Nonpareil Book, 78) from David R. Godine Publisher Price: $15.54 Customer Review: Whether it's criticism, social commentary or his amazing historical fiction, Davenport has that knack for plunging an arm into the stream of time and pulling up luminous pebbles, then arranging them brilliantly. This is mostly a collection of writings about writers, but don't let that deter you.... |

Selected Stories (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics) from Penguin Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: A collection of 100 or more short stories by O. Henry? My mouth waters already! It's hard to imagine any literary treat that can be enjoyed in small doses more pleasurable than this. I have spent over a year savouring these stories, reading them one by one, tasting his delightful choice of words,... |

7 Greeks from New Directions Publishing Corporation Price: $11.87 Customer Review: It has no sense to tell you this book is very good and you ought to read it. Instead I'll give a short introduction to each poet and a short example of their work. So you can judge by yourself if it is interesting enough. I The first poet is Archilochos. He lived in the seventh century B.C. He... |

Objects on a Table : Harmonious Disarray in Art and Literature from Counterpoint Press Price: $12.25 Customer Review: Whatever reason guides our quest for information to discover small treasures, the rewards of finding writing as quiet and yet celebratory as Guy Davenport's OBJECTS ON A TABLE are immeasurable. This small volume of four essays on the intransigence of Still Life paintings and their concommitant... |

Herakleitos and Diogenes from Grey Fox Press Price: $7.95 Customer Review: Before grunge, before punk, before monks renouncing this "evil world" for the purity of the desert, there was Diogenes. If Plato codified and, to some extent, "created" Western philosophy, then Diogenes lit a stink bomb at Plato's Academy and sent all the earnest young students scrambling for fresh... |

Da Vinci's Bicycle: Ten Stories (New Directions Classics) from New Directions Publishing Corporation Price: $11.11 Customer Review:  Obscure genius is difficult to comprehend in the first place. This author wants us to explore with him the depths of such genius. Sorry. Not impressed. Nixon should certainly not be included. But if you were going to include mad evil geniuses, why not Adolf Hitler instead of Nixon? And who exactly... |

The Lark from Dim Gray Bar Press Price: $100.00 Customer Review: Short and sweet, that oft clich?d phrase, might be the most appropriate tag one can attach to this thin, rare volume. Merely fifteen pages in length, Davenport's usual style of not a word too many; none too few; is distilled even further into a tightly-packed work that defies the genres of... |

Apples and Pears and Other Stories from North Point Press Price: $20.00 Customer Review: Guy Davenport is a guy who writes really interesting and beautiful sentences. He writes these sentences as pictures, in my opinion. He also draws pictures (not my opinion, the pictures are in his books). He likes to arrange these word-pictures and pen-pictures in pleasing groups. He is a master... |
