"This book is a highly personal, chronological account of Beryl's life and work - both her writing and her painting - and provides a vivid first-hand portrait of this free-spirited and uniquely talented woman. Beryl Bainbridge is best known as a prolific writer of novels that ranged from black comedies of contemporary life, often autobiographical in inspiration, to idiosyncratic reimaginings of historical events and characters. Less well known is that painting and drawing were also lifelong passions, and a source of income too in the days before her success as a writer. Most of all she painted people - friends, lovers, her children, invented characters, characters from her novels, or historical figures (she had a particular fascination for Napoleon). She had no formal training, but developed an exuberance of technique to match her imagination. The paintings, as one of her many friends observes, are like Beryl herself: 'irreverent, funny and highly original.' Psiche Hughes was a close friend of Beryl Bainbridge from the early 1960s to the latter's death in 2010." (Publisher), Thames and Hudson, 2012, 4.5, Phaidon Press, 2012. Paperback. New.

From the rear cover: "THE KISSING LIST introduces an explosive new talent -- it's a brilliant debut that recalls the imagination of Aimee Bender and the sardonic wit of Lorrie Moore. These interlocking stories feature an unforgettable group of young women -- Sylvie, Anna, Frances, Maureen -- as their lives connect, first during a year abroad at Oxford, then later as they move to New York on the cusp of adulthood. We follow each of them as they navigate the treachery of first dates, temp jobs and roommates, failed relationships and unexpected affairs -- all the things that make their lives seem full of possibility, but also rife with potential disappointment. Shot through with laugh-out-loud lines, yet still wrenchingly emotional and resonant, THE KISSING LIST is a book about women who bravely defy expectations and take outrageous chances in the face of a life that might turn out to be anything less than extraordinary." 5.5" wide by 8.25" tall..

Unless Vel can help out his younger self, Vel's tribe's descendants-a big chunk of the 21st-century British population-will be eliminated from the timeline. Present-day Vel, though, has problems of his own, so he takes a chance and outs himself (and his talented teen-aged daughter Quince) to Joe Tavistock, a subcontractor on the weak end of the plausible deniability chain dangling off British intelligence, making it Joe's problem. Joe's superiors are dubious, and Joe doesn't know who to trust. The stakes are high not just for Vel, but for everyone involved.", Aqueduct Press, 2012, 6, Random House, 2012. First edition.
