The News Where You Are $17.39 A heartbreaking yet hilarious novel from the author of the best-selling prize-winning What Was Lost . The News Where You Are tells the funny touching story of Frank a local TV news presenter in England. Beneath his awkwardly corny screen persona Frank is haunted by disappearances: the mysterious hit-and-run that killed his predecessor Phil Smethway; the demolition of his father’s post-war brutalist architecture; and the unmarked passing of those who die alone in the city. Frank struggles to make sense of these absences whilst having to report endless local news stories and trying to cope with his resolutely miserable mother. The result is that rare thing: a page-turning novel that asks the big questions in an accessible way and is laugh-out-loud funny genuinely moving and ultimately uplifting. From the Hardcover edition. |

A Man Without a Country $5.98 From the Publisher: A Man Without a Country is Kurt Vonnegut s hilariously funny and razor-sharp look at life ( If I die–God forbid–I would like to go to heaven to ask somebody in charge up there, Hey, what was the good news and what was the bad news? ), art ( To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it. ), politics ( I asked former Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton what he thought of our great victory over Iraq and he said, Mohammed Ali versus Mr. Rogers. ), and the condition of the soul of America today ( What has happened to us? ). Based on short essays and speeches composed over the last five years and plentifully illustrated with artwork by the author throughout, A Man Without a Country gives us Vonnegut both speaking out with indignation and writing tenderly to his fellow Americans, sometimes joking, at other times hopeless, always searching. Kurt Vonnegut is among the very few grandmasters of contemporary American letters, without whom the very term American literature would mean less than it does. His novels include Cat s Cradle and Slaughterhouse Five, among so many others. Projects with Seven Stories Press in recent years include God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian and, with Lee Stringer, Like Shaking Hands with God, a book about writing. His most recent novel is Timequake (1997). |

Big Name Hunting $14.99 Arnie Wilson started hunting down “big names” after being hired by a news agency to telephone titled people and charm them into divulging stories he would sell to Fleet Street gossip columns. But the ‘celebrity’ landscape was changing. Instead of targeting lords, baronets knights and their ladies, he was determined instead to find ‘real’ celebrities, persuading them with a combination of cheek, charm and chutzpah to divulge funny and intimate anecdotes for publication. Ten years as an ITV on-screen news reporter reinforced his skill at putting interviewees at their ease, and he started working on many of the columns he had once himself supplied with tales of the famous. Even during 15 years as the Financial Times ski correspondent he kept the gossip tap turned on, interviewing Hollywood stars on the slopes. He chatted to (and sometimes skied with) film stars, rock stars, astronauts, comedians, authors, government ministers, former prime ministers and the odd American president. Although celebrities today are two a penny, he’s still at it, chatting to anyone famous he can find. |
