Paperback. Condition: Good. "Lipman is always in top form as an essayist." - New York Times Book Review In her two decades of writing, Elinor Lipman has populated her fictional universe with characters so utterly real that we feel like they're old friends. Now she shares an even more intimate world with us--her own--in essays that offer a candid, charming take on modern life. Looking back and forging ahead, she considers the subjects that matter most: childhood and condiments, long marriage and solo living, career and politics. In these stories you'll find the lighthearted as well as the serious and profound. Whether for Lipman's longtime readers or those who love the essays of Nora Ephron or Anna Quindlen, I Can't Complain is a diverting delight. "Engaging and moving . . . Whether or not one is a Lipman fan before reading this collection, he or she most certainly will be by the time the final page is turned." - Publishers Weekly "Full of wit and charm, along with some trenchant observations."- Seattle Times "A feast of bite-sized morsels of humor and wisdom." - Kirkus Reviews Elinor Lipman finds the profound in the everyday and the hilarious in the ridiculous. Witty Observations: From navigating the politics of writing book blurbs to the unwritten rules of holding a good grudge, Lipman's take on modern life is sharp, funny, and unforgettable. Heartfelt Memoir: A moving exploration of a long and happy marriage, the joy of raising a son, and the bittersweet reality of watching life change in unexpected ways.

For Fans of Nora Ephron: If you love warm, intelligent, and candid essays that feel like a conversation with your smartest, funniest friend, this collection is for you.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In Brandon Sladder, author Jeffrey Frank has created one of the most memorable rogues in contemporary fiction. A prominent Washington columnist, Sladder has known just about everyone of importance. He has spoken on intimate terms with world leaders, been a witness to enormous change, and expressed weighty opinions on important matters of state. When former President Bush encourages him to write his memoirs, Sladder believes that his life story could add much more than a footnote to our age and attempts to burnish his image for posterity. What emerges instead is the story of an irresistibly loathsome man and the misadventures that got him to the top. Self-important, social climbing, and dangerously oblivious, Brandon Sladder is the type of character everyone loves to hate. By turns hilarious and dismaying, The Columnist is a dead-on, elegantly written portrait of the media and politics of the second half of the twentieth century.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. When James accidentally swerves into an elderly woman with his car, he is mortified. But for his girlfriend, Kate, it's a wake-up call: What is she doing with this man, twenty-five years her senior, who forgets his glasses and knocks an old lady off her bike? James's lifelong friend Hugh is faring little better with his seemingly perfect and significantly younger wife Julia. Once one of Britain's most famous newsmen, Hugh sees his star fading--just as Julia's is rising through a lucrative new TV career. Four people--the men and the girls--each struggle with discontent as two relationships teeter on the brink. Add to the mix one fiercely independent spinster named Miss Bachelor, and what transpires will alter all of their lives forever, as new relationships blossom, old insecurities surface, and homes and fortunes are turned upside down.…
