Dyer, Geoff But Beautiful: A Book About Jazz 1997 paperback. BOOK COND: Used; Very Good. Book #or1071870. ISBN #0865475083 / 9780865475083. (filed under: Fiction ) *
 stock image, actual book may vary In eight poetically charged vignettes, Geoff Dyer skillfully evokes the music and the men who shaped modern jazz. Drawing on photos, anecdotes, and, most important, the way he hears the music, Dyer imaginatively reconstructs scenes from the embattled lives of some of the greats: Lester Young fading away in a hotel room; Charles Mingus storming down the streets of New York on a too-small bicycle; Thelonius Monk creating his own private language on the piano. However, music is the driving force of But Beautiful, and Dyer brings it to life in luminescent and wildly metaphoric prose that mirrors the quirks, eccentricity, and brilliance of each musician s style.

Diana Gabaldon, 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series Escape to Scotland with the delightful new novel that readers have fallen in love with inspired by Diana Gabaldon s 1 New York Times bestselling Outlander series. I met Jamie Fraser when I was nineteen years old. He was tall, red-headed, and at our first meeting at least, a virgin. He was, in fact, the perfect man. That he was fictional hardly entered into it... On the cusp of thirty, Emma Sheridan is desperately in need of a change. After a string of failed relationships, she can admit that no man has ever lived up to her idea of perfection: the Scottish fictional star of romantic fantasies the world over James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser. Her ideal man might be ripped from the pages of a book, but Emma hopes that by making one life-altering decision she might be able to turn fiction into fact. After selling all her worldly possessions, Emma takes off for Scotland with nothing but her burgeoning travel blog to confide in. But as she scours the country s rolling green hills and crumbling castles, Emma discovers that in searching for her own Jamie Fraser, she just might find herself.

 stock image, actual book may vary David Ebershoff's shockingly original debut novel, The Danish Girl , which explored the boundaries of love and gender, was hailed by critics around the world. The Boston Globe called it "heartbreaking and unforgettable . . . a complete triumph" and the Chicago Tribune praised it for its "startling refinement and beauty." His first collection, The Rose City combines a bouquet of vivid characters with Ebershoff's trademark emotional insight and lush prose in seven stories about young men and boys making their way in a chaotic world. Often tragic but lacking in despair, The Rose City delves into the tribulations of everyday life, identity, and sexuality. Each story is about someone from or moving to Pasadena, a part of California, as the character in the title story says, "Where the real history is." In "Chuck Paa" a young man in flight from his misdemeanant mother seeks and finds employment in an upscale world which can never quite become his own. In the title story, "The Rose City," remembrance and a shared lost love bring together ex-lovers who reunite to reflect on their past, their present, and what lies ahead. What they discover is that relationships rarely turn out the way you want them to-especially when your ex has moved on to a house and home life and you're left alone, foot tapping, waiting around for Mr. Right. With the same insight and daring of The Danish Girl , The Rose City secures David Ebershoff's reputation as a writer of rare talent and sensitivity.

 stock image, actual book may vary Yambo, a sixtyish rare-book dealer who lives in Milan, has suffered a loss of memory-he can remember the plot of every book he has ever read, every line of poetry, but he no longer knows his own name, doesn't recognize his wife or his daughters, and remembers nothing about his parents or his childhood. In an effort to retrieve his past, he withdraws to the family home somewhere in the hills between Milan and Turin.There, in the sprawling attic, he searches through boxes of old newspapers, comics, records, photo albums, and adolescent diaries. And so Yambo relives the story of his generation: Mussolini, Catholic education and guilt, Josephine Baker, Flash Gordon, Fred Astaire. His memories run wild, and the life racing before his eyes takes the form of a graphic novel. Yambo struggles through the frames to capture one simple, innocent image: that of his first love. A fascinating, abundant new novel-wide-ranging, nostalgic, funny, full of heart-from the incomparable Eco. 20050601
