Description:
London: Elek, 1970. 312 pp, 8vo (8" H). "In this novel, Zola studies the problem of male chastity. How does the Roman Catholic priest, sworn to celibacy, reconcile his vow with human nature? With great and poetic delicacy and honesty, he tells the story of young Serge Mouret, Vicar of Artaud in Southern France, the victim of a conflict between a morality that has made sex evil and a natural impulse to love, purely and utterly, a young girl." Very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket is price clipped, has minor edge wrinkling, small ghost sticker mark on front flap. . Reprint. Hard Cover. Very Good+/Very Good+.

Description:
London: Putnam, 1946. 303 pp, 8vo (8" H). "Pierre Andrezel, whose name appears on this novel, is described as a young Frenchman, born in Rouen 1915, and educated at Oxford where he wrote stories for English magazines. His original publication of 'The Angelic Avengers' in Copenhagen in 1944 may be explained by the state of France at that time, and the less oppressive conditions of the Danes, whom the British Prime Minister dubbed 'the Gangster's Canary Birds'. The use of this phrase in the book can hardly fail to be an allusion, and may have a certain significance, although it would be an error to regard the book as in any serious way allegorical. Pierre Andrezel has not been heard of since the appearance of his novel in Denmark. The setting of (this book) is England and France 1840-41, when a romantic school of fiction still carried on something of the flamboyance and mystery of the Gothic Revival." - from the dust jacket flap.

Toronto: Random House Canada, 2010. 479 pp, 9 1/4" H. "Novelist Christopher Knox knows all about books. Real life, however, has spiraled to the point where he barely knows his own son. Separated from his wife and battling writer's block, Chris still finds joy in one thing: reading 11-year-old David his nightly bedtime story. When Chris introduces David to a fantasy novel by a long-forgotten author, his reluctant reader is enthralled. The curious old book becomes the centre of the boy's life - until one night, when a mysterious seizure leaves him unconscious.

Biscuit had red hair, a preliminary scenario for a mustache, and a noble determination to escape the disgrace of work. Berry Conway who has less iron in his soul had succumbed to economic pressure and become the secretary to T. Paterson Frisby, a dyspeptic American who had twenty million and loved every cent of it. When Biscuit and Berry pooled ideas for the mutual betterment of their separate estates, and one idea had to do with Ann Moon, Frisby's beautiful niece and heir, they leaned heavily on Aunt Vera an old campaigner in the field of love.

"For once at the outset of the story Jack Aubrey is neither financially embarrassed nor under some unmerited professional cloud. But time is gaining on him. His spirits, his energy, his zest for life and its pleasures are not what they were. He has reached the top of the Captain's list and the odds against his promotion to flag rank are lengthening. On the other hand, his old shipmate, Stephen Maturin has lost none of his spark. Recovering from the loss of his wife, he finds passion for natural history happily combines with a tenderer emotion. And in the revolutionary politics of South America, whither the 'Surprise' is bound, his expertise in intelligence work is indispensable." Very light browning to the edges of the text block.

Description:
Toronto: Macmillan of Canada, 1973. 170 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). "Here is a fresh, beautifully written story of an almost old woman who, one morning on impulse, walks out of a forty-year-old marriage, leaving her invalid husband calling querulously for his breakfast. In a desperate bid for a life of her own, and with little more money in her pocket than her first Old Age Pension cheque, Eva exchanges her sedate and conventional middle-class existence in a Montreal suburb for a chaotic rooming-house life in one of the city's poorer districts. Eva's account of her transition from housewife to eccentric is the basis for this warm and delightful novel which, in a surprising way, turns out to be a love story. Eva herself is a wonderful character, with a prickly charm, an acid humour, and a probing, active intelligence that gives sense and meaning to her strange choice, and makes her story a compelling and unforgettable experience." A few tiny light foxing marks on verso of dedication… Read More

Description:
Toronto: McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1977. 213 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H). The award-winning Canadian author's second novel. "Until events run wildly out of hand, Charleen Forrest manages to cope with the uncertainties of a failed marriage, trying to live her own life and raise a son on her frugal income. She is not unaware of the hazards: 'family, banktellers, exhusband, landladies, bus drivers - men on the make who want her to lie back and accept (this is what you need, baby), friends who feel sorry for her'. Her resourcefulness is a delight; her uncanny observations and surprising irony reveal a witty, wry edge that is apt to make you laugh out loud. The occasion is her widowed mother's second wedding and it leads to poignant self-discoveries as human foibles and self-deceits are exposed with startling clarity. Delicate and bittersweet, the story offers a warm and joyful kinship with the sublimely self-denying mother, critical of her own wedding cake - 'it's a little dry, if you… Read More

Markham, Ontario: Viking, 1990. 254 pp, 9 1/4" H. "From Canada's most outspoken novelist and essayist comes a broadside of outrageous remarks, irreverent wisdom and wickedly accurate criticism. Whether surveying the international literary scene or considering the excesses of pop psychology, Mordecai Richler attacks his diverse subjects with relish and devastating wit. We learn about Richler's opinions on everything from movieland to conspiracy theories, from reincarnation to orgies, and from political wives to male impotence in 14th century France. But there is another side to Richler - a kinder, gentler man who celebrates marriage and friendship, fatherhood and harmony. In a mellow mood, Richler meditates on the joys of reading, the power of fiction, and the great rewards of a profession in writing." Very minor edge wear, very light wrinkling at bottom of spine.

Inscribed on title page: "For (in alphabetical order) ____ and ____ - With good, better and best wishes - Likewise much love - Ted, 18/3/89". "Fifty-three-year-old Montreal lawyer Geoffrey Chadwick (last seen in Edward Phillips' acclaimed novel, 'Sunday's Child) accepts an invitation for a weekend in the country with friends. His idea of roughing it is 'complaining about room service,' but at least it's not another Westmount wine and cheese party. This excursion into Quebec's cottage country becomes fraught with emotional complications and surface tensions; but the weekend proceeds as weekends do until the household is interrupted by three unexpected guests, in flight from the police. The intrusion of the criminal element into this upper-middle-class gathering is perfect fodder for humorist Edward Phillips. He exposes the comic and not so comic… Read More
