Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When her village in Albion is sacked by the Roman general Vespasian, young Aislin is left without home and family. Determined to exact revenge, she travels to Rome, a sprawling city of wealth, decadence, and power. A barbarian in a civilized world, Aislin struggles to comprehend Roman ways. From a precarious hand-to-mouth existence on the streets, she becomes the mistress of a wealthy senator, but their child Faolan is born with a disability that renders him unworthy of life in the eyes of his father and other Romans. Imprisoned for her efforts to topple the Roman regime, Aislin learns of an alternate philosophy from her cellmate, the Judean known today as the apostle St. Paul. As the capital burns in the Great Fire of 64 AD, he bequeaths to her a mission that will take her to Jerusalem. There, Yohanan, son of Zakkai, has been striving to preserve the tradition of Hillel against the Zealots who advocate for a war of independence. Responding to the Judeans' revolt, the Romans--again under the leadership of Vespasian--besiege Jerusalem, destroying the Second Temple and with it, the brand of Judean monotheism it represents. Yohanan takes on the mission of preserving what can be preserved, and of reinventing what must be reinvented.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Becky Miller lives in the best neighborhood, goes to school with the children of movie stars, and has her psychiatrist on speed dial. She may live in the City of Angels, but this sixteen-year-old's life is far from perfect. By day, Becky navigates the halls of one of L.A.'s most elite schools, where the mean girls are a special breed of mean, and at night, she deals with sparring parents, a grandmother who is man-crazy, and a younger brother, Jack, who answers only to J-zizzy. As Becky's life comes crashing down around her, she struggles to put it back together and learn to grow up while trying to stay sane. Isabel Kaplan dishes the dirt on the children of Hollywood's elite--from Spago delivered to campus at lunch and shrinks who dole out psychotropic drugs as though they're candy to parent-free parties at the Four Seasons--the lives of Becky and her creator, Isabel Kaplan, are like no other, and yet strangely, just like everyone's.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Cynthia Kaplan takes us on a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking journey through her unique, uncensored world--her bungled romantic encounters and unsung theatrical experiences; her gadget-obsessed father, her pill-popping therapist, and her eccentric grandmothers; her fearless husband, whom she engages in an ongoing battle over which of them is the most popular person in their apartment; and, of course, her vengeful, power-hungry one-year-old son.Kaplan's voice is a lot like the one in our heads--the one that most of us are only willing to listen to late at night . . . maybe while locked in a closet. What a relief it is that someone finally admits that she is afraid of nearly everything; that she is jealous even of people whose lives are on the verge of collapse; and that she has, at times, tried to pass for a gentile. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. Genevieve Kaplan?s in the ice house offers an innovative meditation on domestic life and the physical world that surrounds it, chronicling ?at least the beginnings of some disaster? taking place in a landscape that ?had no symmetry.? Deftly channeling poets like Wallace Stevens and John Ashbery, as well as invoking Kaplan?s own distinct poetic sensibility, these poems reveal an atmospheric and wondrous world filled with odd and compelling images. Readers confront the menace of the ordinary, ?the whale-faced spout of the drainpipe, the cluck / of the chicken-bird? and how ?the light attacks / the window and the stress of the shining / does not ease.? The poet?s insistent evocation of elemental images?the birds, the ice, the water?becomes almost incantatory, as the speaker seeks escape from ?the frantic outside? she?s trapped within. Kaplan?s sky ?has the depth / of an ocean,? and this book deeply articulates how ?silence is the only word that can replace loss.? Moving artfully between internal desires and incisive observations of the external, these stunning poems radiate with both heat and ice.…
