Wish I Could Be There: Notes from a Phobic Life

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shawn, Allen, PUBLISHER: Viking Books, A droll, inquisitive, and poignant memoir of agoraphobia from a member of one of New Yorkas premier literary families Allen Shawn is afraid of heights, water, fields, parking lots, tunnels, and unknown roads. He avoids taking subways, using elevators, or crossing bridges. In short, he is afraid of both closed and open spaces and of any form of isolation. Yet this is a memoir of enormous bravery. Shawn grew up in a lively but mysterious world. He is the son of the famous, longtime "New Yorker" editor William Shawn and brother to the brilliant playwright and actor Wallace Shawn. His twin sister is autistic, and when they were eight years old, she was put in a home. Though it was kept from him until he was in his thirties, his father led a double life that introduced strict taboos to his household. Shawn examines these influences, his fatheras and motheras phobias, and his own struggle with agoraphobia with generosity, wit, and insight, attempting to decipher the psychological and biological puzzles that have plagued him for so long. Interwoven with both Freudian psychology and cutting-edge brain research, Shawn has written a profound examination of familial love and the universal struggle to face our demons.

Not a Tame Lion: The Spiritual Legacy of C.S. Lewis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Glaspey, Terry W. / Grant, George, PUBLISHER: GCB Publishing Group, C.S. Lewis in his time was a teacher, a scholar, a public speaker, a writer, a friend, a man of simple tastes; above all, he was a man surrendered to God. His legacy is a rich one: in his books we find a winsome and creative personality who was unswerving in his commitment to orthodoxy, and whose tremendous intellect was wedded not only to his reason but to a powerful imagination (for it was in his flights of literary fantasy that his deepest perceptions of God were birthed). This book is a finely crafted introduction to the character and works of a man who was a true "defender of the faith" -- both in his creation of Aslan and the Land of Narnia and in his non-fiction apologia.

Of Farming and Classics: A Memoir

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grene, David, PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, A fiercely independent thinker, colorful storyteller, and spirited teacher, David Grene devoted his life to two things: farming, which he began as a boy in Ireland and continued into old age; and classics, which he taught for several decades that culminated in his translating and editing, with Richmond Lattimore, of "The Complete Greek Tragedies." In this charming memoir, which he wrote during the years leading up to his death in at the age of eighty-nine, Grene weaves together these interests to tell a quirky and absorbing story of the sometimes turbulent and always interesting life he split between the University of Chicago--where he helped found the Committee on Social Thought--and the farm he kept back in Ireland. Charting the path that took him from Europe to Chicago in , and encompassing his sixty-five-year career at the university, Grene's book draws readers into the heady and invigorating climate of his time there. And it is elegantly balanced with reflections stemming from his work on the farm where he hunted, plowed and regularly traveled on horseback to bring his cows home for milking. Grene's form and humor are quite his own, and his brilliant storytelling will enthrall anyone interested in the classics, rural Ireland, or twentieth-century intellectual history, especially as it pertains to the University of Chicago.
