Sadness


Donald Barthelme - 1972
    Masterpieces of wit, whimsy and satire…A saint struggling with the greatest of all temptations: daily life.A genius proposes a world inventory of genius to create a better life, but he cannot bear the company.Family life trembles with enough animus to bring down an elephant.A woman leaves her husband and enters the red velvet map of new life.

The Devastating Boys


Elizabeth Taylor - 1972
    Varied in their settings and characters, they are nevertheless the quintessence of all that is most distinguished, and witty, in her art. We meet women, children and men, often ostensibly ordinary, who follow their paths of ruthlessness and ambition, each in pursuit of happiness, love, or power - each a classic creation.
