Softcover. Freedom CA, Crossing Press, 1st, 1990, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 150 pages. The author's second book. In 10 astute, mildly zany and often wickedly funny stories, Kirshenbaum peers at a multifaceted assortment of modern relationships. A wife who decides to organize her life by making lists of "Things to Do" discovers she married not for love, but for a good health plan. If you are a woman with a past, there is no point to an attachment with a man who thinks only of the future, according to "Past Perfect." Reality may encompass a gray Honda Civic in suburban Connecticut, but to the narrator of "Wheels," true love is a sleek, cobalt-blue Alfa Romeo on the open road. "Pravda" describes two women, friends of many years, who spend a fall afternoon outdoors on a bench discussing Marxism, men and amorality. An American couple who have come to Romania in search of romance to save their marriage find only "Travail"; the highlight of their vacation is the sight of three stuffed goats in pink tutus.

Hardcover. NY, Paris Review Editions/Doubleday, 1st, 1969, Hardcover in a lightly worn, unclipped dust jacket, 284 pages. The first of only two published novels by this Kansas-born author (1930-2008), a ribald satire that became a small-scale literary cause celebre after an excerpt published in The Paris Review in 1967 ignited a somewhat bizarre censorship attempt in the Long Island town of South Farmingdale, N.Y.; in the course of the kerfuffle, TPR editor George Plimpton interceded to speak out against the censorship, and subsequently agreed to published the full novel under the Paris Review Editions imprint. Better known as a poet and essayist, Wiebe enjoyed a long teaching career at the University of Cincinnati; at least one critic has declared his work to be in the same darkly comic literary vein as that of Laurence Sterne, Franz Kafka, William S. Burroughs and Flannery O'Connor. Clean copy.

Hardcover. Princeton University Press, 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 288 pages. Crow re-evaluates Conner and other key figures-from Catholic activist Corita Kent to Black Panther Emory Douglas to ecological witness Bonnie Ora Sherk-as part of a generational cohort galvanized by resistance to war, racial oppression, and environmental degradation. Younger practitioners of performance and installation carried the mindset of rebellion into the 1970s and 1980s, as previously excluded artists of color moved to the forefront in Los Angeles. Mike Kelley, their contemporary, remained unwaveringly true to the late countercultural flowering he had witnessed at the dawn of his career. The result is a major new account of the counterculture's enduring influence on modern art. Clean copy. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Hardcover. Schirmer Mosel, 1st, 2020, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket,, 171 pages. Since the 1970s Cindy Sherman (born in Glen Ridge, NJ, in 1954) has caused a stir in the art world with her photographic self-stagings. From the beginning, Neither her subjects nor her artistic realization of acting as the director, photographer, and performer of her motifs have lost their relevance to this day. Quite the contrary: her multilayered examination of themes of identity and social cliches are hot topics in our age of increasingly public gender and transgender discussions. Entitled 'The Cindy Sherman Effect', an exhibition organized by Kunstforum Wien explores the influence of Cindy Sherman?s work on artists such as Sophie Calle, Pipilotti Rist, Sarah Lucas, Gillian Wearing, Candice Breitz, Zanele Muholi, Markus Schinwald, Douglas Gordon, Samuel Fosso and many more.
