"In September 2001, following moments when civilization seemed to have unraveled, Frederick Turner undertook a quest for confirmation that Art does matter, that it is the preeminent human expression of the Life Force; that it is as undeniably necessary as air. In the Land of Temple Caves goes back to the very beginning of Art to assess anew its meanings in the long human story. Turner makes a personal investigation of sanctuaries in France and Spain that the great mythographer Joseph Campbell called the 'temple caves,' the earliest known of which contains paintings more than 32,000 years old. In the caves are works of art more advanced than the hunting implements by which their creators lived. Turner starts his journey in St. Emilion at the gateway to the country of the caves, and ends it in Paris's St. Sulpice. And in the caves and prehistoric shelters, along the valleys tracing the mighty rivers of the Ice Age, in a war-ravaged village, and in a city church far removed from the country of the caves, Turner finds resonant meaning in what he has always believed to be true. In this beautiful, multifaceted travelogue that puts France's land of temple caves and the inviting life above them on a timeless map, it becomes increasingly, movingly clear: Art does matter." - Publisher.

"From the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of Son of the Morning Star and Deus Lo Volt! comes a biography that breaks the mold - recounting with stunning immediacy the uncommon genius behind the renowned Spanish painter. Darkly brilliant and casually masterful in turn, Francisco Goya changed art forever. During the days of the Spanish Inquisition, Goya painted royalty, street urchins, and demons with the same brush, bringing his own distinctive touch to each. This unusual man and his ghastly times are the perfect subject for Evan S. Connell, one of our greatest and least conventional writers. Introducing a wealth of detail and a cast of comic characters - a motley group of dukes, queens, and artists, as lewd and incorrigible a crew as history has ever produced - Connell has conjured Goya's life with wit, erudition, and a sparkling imagination. / Evan S. Connell is the author of eighteen books, including Dues Lo Volt!, Mrs. Bridge, Mr. Bridge, and Son of the Morning Star. He has received numerous awards including the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Pushcart Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and an award in literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition dark brown boards/black spine/gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Dedication and Preliminary Page Quote by Jean-Francois Charbrun. " "Certain artists are like the onion, beneath each membrane another," writes Evan S. Connell, "if you continue peeling in hopes of catching him you end up with nothing in your hand." Francisco Goya lies layer under layer, but Connell has evoked this enigmatic artist as only a master storyteller could do. Goya was breakfast companion of the Queen and painter to the court, but his portrait of the royal family is so mercilessly unflattering that it's been wondered how he escaped strangulation. Yet his female saints and angels were beautiful, buxom majas - many thought them more suitable for brothels than churches. Goya was the portraitist of noble after silly, vain noble, and lover to the Duchess of Alba, the most desired woman of his age and one of the wealthiest - but his Spain was also one of blind beggars, cripples, cut-throats, lunatics, swaggering majos, flirtatious majas, dwarfs, bullfights, carnivals, massacres, and Inquisitors seeking the Devil. Much of it Goya saw through a glass darkly. This inscrutable artist is a brilliant choice of subject for Connell, whose literary histories and penetrating novels have place him among our greatest writers. With his famous wit, wry erudition and prodigious research, he brings to life an artist of unsurpassed imagination and his brutal times - Spain in the clutches of the Inquisition. Connell introduces a wealth of detail and a cast of comic and eccentric characters - dukes, duchesses, royalty, politicians and artists; as lewd and incorrigible a group as history has ever produced. As he charts the arc of Goya's career, Connell keeps pace with the tumultuous era and shrewdly sifts through two centuries of commentary on Goya's work, from Paul Claudel's dismay that Goya sought to avoid the eyes and the image of God, to Baudelaire's deadly accurate comment that he painted the black magic of our civilization. Goya's protean talent sent connoisseurs barking in various directions. He was a master whose image of Saturn bloodily devouring his son is as unforgettable as his peerless rendering of the gentle light caught in the white satin gown of a countess. Most critics agree that Goya changed Western art forever, although the nature of his influence has been widely interpreted. Edgar Degas, for one, lamented that because of Goya he was condemned to painting a housewife in her bathtub. Connell has marshaled the vast array of contradictory thoughts on Goya, and conjured the artist, his art, and his times with fierce originality and imagination. The result is an unforgettable portrait from a literary master." - from the inner front and rear jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Second printing [stated]. [8], 251, [3] pages. Signed and dated by the author on the title page. Esther Cohen is a novelist and poet living in New York City. She's the author of several books, including Book Doctor. Everyone wants to write a book. Arlette Rosen loves books. She always has. She thinks she knows a good book from a bad one and believes that all writers should aim to be James Joyce, or Proust, or at least not forgotten too quickly. Enter Harbinger Singh. An unusual hero in a brown wool suit that doesn't quite fit, Harbinger Singh earns his living as a tax lawyer. He enjoys his job, making meticulous columns of numbers day in and day out, parsing people's lives into numbers. Still in love with his ex-wife, a public policy lawyer named Carla, Singh wants to win her back. And he also wants revenge. He decides the path back to Carla is through writing a book, maybe called Hot and Dusty (He'd be the heat, she'd be the dust). All he needs is help with the actual writing. Arlette Rosen and Harbinger Singh meet and enter each other's lives in unalterable ways, ways that form the unusual path Book Doctor takes. It is a path full of books, sex, movies, love, music, and continual revelation. Inspired by the frustrations of writer's block and the vagaries of modern romance, the result is a surprising combination of tremendous heart and urbane, sophisticated, mordantly funny storytelling. Smart, independent, quirky, and well-read, Arlette Rosen makes her living helping people write the books they've always dreamed of, and she's quite good at it. She likes this work, likes the freedom of someone else's sentences, likes being able to change, in intuitive ways only she knows, small details here and there. By the time she meets new client Harbinger Singh, she has worked on sixty-four books, chosen from hundreds of submissions. Harbinger Singh really wants to do is write a novel, a grand, sweeping saga he intends to call Hot and Dusty. While the romance that blooms between these two unlikely lovers is more about longing than lust, it triggers something in each that just might be called hope. With uncompromising wit and a fierce tenderness, Esther Cohen has written a modern-day comedy of manners about relationships, writer's block, and the enduring-if elusive-creative spirit.
