Stories in Boxes of Time were mostly published between 1961 and 1981; they feature characters who are troubled or unsure of themselves trying to deal with life's usual disappointments. Stylistically, these stories are polished and carefully written, but they deal with messy emotions, troubled families and damaged personalities. The characters may not be as educated or self-assured as the people in his other collections, but they still manage to figure out interesting things about themselves and the people around them. Stories from this period focus especially on the emotional stresses that separate parents from their children. This ebook contains 24 stories by Jack Matthews which have never been collected, making it the author's largest story collection. Matthews picked "Boxes of Time" as the title for this collection because each story reveals the drama of worlds long since gone but whose dreams and fears and anxieties still resonate today.

The Far Side of Paradise: A Biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald by Arthur Mizener (109 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

The seminal biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Far Side of Paradise was the first ever biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald, widely acclaimed as a sensitive, scholarly appraisal of the writer's life and work. With this revised edition, updated to include new information that has since surfaced, Arthur Mizener has created a definitive portrait of Fitzgerald - the man, his work, and his exciting, globe-trotting life. He explores his childhood and formative years at Princeton University, as well as his chaotic marriage to Zelda Sayre and the years they spent in Paris together with writers and artists like Hemingway and Picasso. After becoming a chronicler of the 'flapper age' in the 1920s, Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism and despair following his wife's diagnosis as a schizophrenic. In this fascinating biography, Mizener delves into the elements of Fitzgerald's own life that influenced The Great Gatsby, as well as his other acclaimed novels. Fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald will find this an illuminating and revealing look into the man behind the books. Praise for The Far Side of Paradise: 'He tells it in an easy style throughout... it is the story of a highly gifted man who ruined himself by pursuing false ideals, who set out to redeem himself by patient effort and who had almost succeeded when he died -- not of drinking, but of overwork, Fitzgerald's books are better known today than they were in his time, but his life as Mizener presents it is even more impressive than his fiction' - Malcolm Cowley 'So intriguing and his story so fascinating in itself that you are likely to overlook the skill required for an adequate presentment of him. Mizener's presentment has a delusive air of simplicity. But that is a measure of the discretion and sobriety of the biographer and the rigor with which he has subordinated the author of the book to its subject' - Yale Review 'Timely, scholarly, but never dull' - New York Times Arthur Mizener was a professor ...

The last thing I expect is a hot, intense biker like Archer West blazing into town and wanting a wild and reckless fling withme. Thanks to my not-so-squeaky past, I can't afford any missteps at this point in my career. Translation: I have to keep the hell away from charming, dirty-talking, bad boy rebels like him. Not just because he's an irresistible temptation, but also because he's the estranged brother of a colleague. Unfortunately, it becomes abundantly clear the stubborn man has no intention of giving up, even if that means following me right into the eye of a storm. And while he may just be the only human on earth who seems to get me, he's also the only one capable of making me lose control. I'm not actually sure which terrifies me more... or what'll break me first. New 2020 edition! NOTE: This is a standalone novel starring Archer, the brother of Dean West from the Spiral Trilogy.
