Bodies of Work : Essays Acker, Kathy
Serpent's Tail 1997 1-85242-425-7 Trade paperbac New
From Kirkus ReviewsWith enervating experimentation but touching directness, postmodern novelist Acker (Portrait of an Eve, 1992; My Mother: Demonology, 1993; etc.) explores art, politics, and being in her first essay collection. Subjects are various, ranging from William Burroughs to Goya to San Francisco; many of the pieces have been published previously (prefaces to books, articles in Marxism Today, the Critical Quarterly, etc.). Despite the variety of subjects and sources, the collection is neatly structured: Essays are grouped agreeably by subject--``On Art and Artists,'' ``The City,'' ``Bodies of Work.'' Though Acker says she aims to ``destroy'' the essay form, she does more of what the form openly invites--to tinker and confess. For example, she interweaves stories into a piece on artist Nayland Blake and applies Wittgenstein's ``language games'' to bodybuilding: ``In a gym, verbal language or language whose purpose is meaning occurs, if at all, only at the edge of becoming lost.'' But she also reveals her current weightlifting goals and describes a childhood desire to be a pirate. Not surprisingly, her most accessible works are those written for a wide audience, particularly an illuminating essay for the Village Voice on film director Peter Greenaway and a moving piece for the MMLA on copyright in the age of the Internet. In all, these essays are serious and reflective of a discontented mind bent on deconstruction. Some may find dreary her tale of patriarchy, dualism, and linearity of time; her elliptical tales and stark sentences may lack immediate clarity. For sure, her essays aren't casually authoritative like

H.C. Westermann Adrian, Dennis
Harry N. Abrams June 1, 2001 0-8109-4564-9 Hardcover New
Twenty years after his death, Westermann, a great if not yet fully appreciated American sculptor, is accorded a major traveling exhibition and this pioneering and handsomely illustrated overview. Curator Storr and his distinguished contributors, including art critic Dennis Adrian, neatly combine biographical and critical perspectives to illuminate the artist's masterfullycrafted and psychologically acute creations. Vital, mischievous, and down-to-earth, Westermann believed in hard work, possessed a keen aesthetic, andsucceeded brilliantly in transmuting deep emotion into a folksy surrealismthat draws viewers in with its quirky charm and then ambushes them with itsprovocative powers.No apparent shelfwear, book as new.

Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith Aerosmith
New York Avon Books February 1, 199 0-380-79531-0 Mass Market Pa Very Good
Some pages creased, missing a piece of front cover, spine creases, shelf-wear.From Aerosmith's heyday in the late 1970s, which they spent "gacked to thenines" (as lead singer Steven Tyler puts it), to the Aerosmith of today--clean, sober, and adored by millions--the band has a long, hard history. WalkThis Way chronicles the whole story: drugs, booze, and all.Prefaced with the now familiar rock-star "intervention," when Steven Tyler's loved ones cornered him in his manager's office in 1986, the autobiography traces Aerosmith's twisted road, from their New Hampshire roots to theirsuccess in Boston to the worldwide fame that they long craved and currentlyenjoy. Tyler kicks off this rock & roll exposŽ, briefly recounting the history of his ancestors in Italy and sharing incidents from his own Northeastchildhood. The book is written in interview style, with all five band members talking candidly about the good times--and the bad. We also hear from girlfriends, wives, friends, and various hangers-on.The story of Aerosmith and their constant ups, downs, and detours never fails to grab you and force you to read another page--if only to see what train wreck awaits around the next corner. Walk This Way is a must-read for devoted fans of Aerosmith as well as anybody who wants to live the full-on '70s rock-star life--without having to go through rehab. --Paul DeBruler

Russel Wright : Creating American Lifestyle Albrecht, Donald; Schonfeld, Robert; Shapiro, Lindsay Stamm
Harry N. Abrams, Inc. November 1, 200 0-8109-3278-4 Hardcover New
Book DescriptionBefore there was Martha Stewart, there was Russel Wright (1904-1976), the great mid-century modern American designer who pioneered the concept of "easier living" for the middle class, a uniquely American lifestyle that was gracious but contemporary and informal. Yet despite Wright's enormous influence, there has been no major survey of his work until now.This handsome volume-which accompanies an exhibition at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City-showcases more than 125 of Wright's best designs for inexpensive, mass-produced dinnerware, textiles, and furniture. As the flurry of Wright auction activity on Ebay shows, there is a thriving collectors' market for his designs. This thorough interpretation of hisachievement is eagerly anticipated.125 illustrations, 65 in full color, 176 pages, 71/2 x 10"From the PublisherCooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, New York, Nov. 20, 2001-Mar. 10, 2002

REACH!: FINDING STRENGTH, SPIRIT, AND PERSONAL POWER Ali, Laila
Hyperion June 1, 2003 0-7868-8736-2 Mass Market Pa Very Good
From Publishers WeeklyTwenty-three-year-old professional boxer Laila Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali and Veronica Porche, notes, "I've always been a little suspicious of people who write books the minute they get famous... if I write a book... it'sgoing to have to help people and tell the truth." Ali attempts to do that,but falls slightly short, offering instead a chronicle of her childhood andcareer thus far. In a direct, no-nonsense narrative, she discusses her feelings of isolation as her parents focused more on their public face than onfamily. She endured physical abuse, arrests, stints in jail and stays at agroup home. Ali admits she was a difficult child, uninterested in school and sometimes mingling with the wrong crowd, but given the lack of supervision, this isn't surprising. Ali's honesty is appealing and readers will be sympathetic to her adolescent difficulties. However, her book lacks a strongmotivational element. While Ali discusses her own development, she fails to generalize for readers. The chapter headings (referred to as "rounds") suggest a self-help message (e.g., "Developing Independence"; "Coping with Confusion"), yet Ali merely shares her experiences and doesn't offer advice.Some readers will be inspired by the author's words, e.g., "Everyone's story is special" and "Success is built on a foundation of hard work," but hadAli explained more of her decisions rather than simply recording the eventsof her life, her book would have been a more valuable inspirational tome.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Two or Three Things I Know for Sure Allison, Dorothy
Plume Books August 1, 1996 0-452-27340-4 Trade paperbac Very Good
Allison's much-praised novel Bastard Out of Carolina was inspired by her childhood in Greenville, S.C., but in this memoir, adapted from a performancepiece, she cuts even closer to the bone. If Allison suffered horrors, notably rape by her stepfather when she was five, she has transmuted pain intostories, gaining control with maturity. Indeed, her title prefaces severalhard-won aphorisms she uses to counterpoint her memories: "No one is as hard as my uncles had to pretend to be." Her mother was a beauty, as was her sister, but Dorothy, smart and plain, felt a legacy of ugliness, one she shook off slowly as her feminism and her heart led her to lesbian relationships, often painful, finally rewarding.Some general shelfwear, minor edgewear and bumping, else VG.

Royal Tombs of Sipan ("Tumbas Reales De Sipan") Alva, Walter
University of California Los July 1993 0-930741-30-7 Paperback New
This fascinating and very accessible book describes the excavation of threeroyal tombs of the Moche, a civilization that flourished on the north coast of Peru between A.D. 100 and 800. The tombs, which contained extraordinary gold and silver jewelry and ceremonial attire, are the richest ever excavated archaeologically in the Western Hemisphere. The detailed accounts of the tombs and methods of excavation will be useful for scholars, but the authors have made the non-specialist reader their primary audience. A skillfully designed format and fold-out pages are helpful in relating tomb artifacts to text descriptions. Providing an exemplary view of an ancient culture,the Sipn tombs have had a profound impact on our understanding of Moche civilization.
