Paperback. Condition: Very Good. What does a 17 year old teenager do when faced with debts resulting from a close brush with paternity, a father who is notoriously tight with a dollar, and a girl named Lisa who just might warm up if he can raise the plane fare to follow her to Hawaii? The answer to these questions hurl a rather desperate 17 year old Jimmy Reardon, from the wrong side of the tracks in a posh Chicago suburb, on a 24 hour odessy as he tries to borrow from his Saturday Habit girl and his true girlfriend Lisa along with attempting a bit of a con on his employer and his employer's mother -- while along the way managing to seduce his father's mistress and get a beating from the school Hero -- a picaresque anti-hero is Jimmy Reardon, who finds himself in his search for escape. The book received rave reviews upon publication, with prose favorably compared to James Joyce and Kingsley Amis among others, and its author William Richert was feted by Enest Hemingway's wife as an heir apparent to the famous author. Mr. Richert never wrote another novel, and became a screenwriter, director and actor. AREN'T YOU EVEN GONA KIS ME GODBYE?, a Kirkus Library Review top choice in 1966, was made into a film by William Richert in the 80's starring River Phoenix and a superb cast topped by Ann Magnuson, Meredith Salenger, Louanne, Matthew Perry, Ione Skye and Jason Court. As sweet as a dry Manhattan with twice the kick, wrote Shiela Benson in the LA Times.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. FIRST CRITICAL REVIEW: I, Beast - THE ILLUSTRATED BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (156 Pages - 400 Illustrations) By William Richert with River Sauts About the Book: A visual delight! A great and brand new read! I recently watched the Disney cartoon version of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast on dvd, along with my young friend Kazia. The movie's Broadway-musical-style show tunes are witty, the Beast is sufficiently ugly and endearing, and Beauty, God bless her, is a rare media heroine who actually reads books! Nonetheless, I found myself disturbed by the broad liberties the Disney Studio took in changing classic elements of the tale. William Richert has gone to the source of the tale. The story of Beauty and the Beast as we know it was written by Madame Le Prince de Beaumont (a French woman living in London), published in 1756 in a magazine for "young misses." De Beaumont's tale was based on a 362-page romance published sixteen years earlier by a Parisian artistocrat, Gabrielle Susan Barbot de Gallan de Villeneuve. i BEAST, William Richert's new, illustrated book stays faithful to the original material by de Villeneuve. Unlike de Beaumont's and Disney's simplified abridgement of her story, de Villeneuve's original (written for adult readers in French literary salons) was complex, baroque, and discursive, thickened by many characters and meandering subplots. De Beaumont and Disney also altered Villeneuve's story in a significant way: in their versions, the Beast becomes a sympathetic, even attractive, character before his transformation -- while in the Villeneuve version, as in i BEAST, Beauty requires assurance again and again from a Good Fairy and magical dreams that loving the Beast is a good idea. iBeast (156 Pages - 400 Illustrations) By William Richert with River Sauts About the Book: A visual delight! I recently watched the Disney cartoon version of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast on dvd, along with my young friend Kazia. The movie's Broadway-musical-style show tunes are witty, the Beast is sufficiently ugly and endearing, and Beauty, God bless her, is a rare media heroine who actually reads books!

William Richert's amazing Illustrated version, and his Graphic Novel incarnation, both drawn brilliantly by the incredible artist River Sauts whose work hangs in the Vatican, shall henceforth become the sine qua non of Beauty/Beast literature, illustrated or filmed or written.
