|  | Uncle Mame by Eric Myers
This biography addresses the life of Patrick Dennis (real name: Edward Everett Tanner III), the author of AUNTIE MAME, who was a popular novelist in the 1950s and 60s and credited with introducing camp into the American consciousness. Though he was at the height of his fame in 1962, and previously had three books simultaneously on the bestseller list, he attempted suicide, overwhelmed with having fallen in love with a man after building a family with his wife. The subsequent years saw the descent of his popularity. He later became a butler to the wealthy set that once included him. AUTHOR: Eric Myers

 | Tender Buttons by Gertrude Stein
First published in 1914, TENDER BUTTONS is considered by many to be one of the greatest works of experimental writing in this century. Divided into three sections--Objects, Food, and Rooms--the prose poems that make up the work are beautiful but notoriously obscure, more committed to grammatical and musical innovation than to conventional sense-making.

To celebrate the return of New York to the center of the baseball universe, Pete Hamill, legendary columnist, editor, and author of SNOW IN AUGUST and A DRINKING LIFE: A Memoir, has assembled an all-star team of writers to create the ultimate thinking fan's keepsake of the subway series.

 | Extravagaria by Alastair Reid, Pablo Neruda
In EXTRAVAGARIA, published in 1958, Neruda evolved a lyric poetry that is decidedly more personal than his earlier work. Written in what he called his autumnal period, the 68 poems range from the wistful to the exultant, combining psalm and speculation, meditation and humorous aside. Finally, in the long Autumn Testament, Neruda assesses himself and his writings. AUTHOR: Alastair Reid, Pablo Neruda
