Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. London: William Heinemann, 2021. NEW. Hardcover: NEAR FINE. Dust Wrapper: FINE. A little bruising to the top of the front board. LIMITED EDITION. SIGNED AND NUMBERED, #205/250. The first novel in nearly twenty years from the acclaimed actor/writer/director, A Bright Ray of Darkness is a book about art and love, fame and heartbreak -- a blistering story of a young man making his Broadway debut just as his marriage implodes. Ethan Hawke is a true writer and his duality as an artist is skillfully reflected in A Bright Ray of Darkness. Hawke circles, descends, and crawls into his characters skin. Grimy shadows pass over the footlights, into the bowels of the theatre, where a struggling actor, perhaps mirroring the writer, seeks the vine of redemption, and claws his way into becoming. Bright Ray is a riveting work.' Patti Smith. Signed by Author.

From the Wrapper: "From Elie Wiesel, a profoundly moving novel about the healing power of compassion. Gamaliel Friedman is only a child when his family flees Czechoslovakia in 1939 for the relative safety of Hungary. For him, it will be the beginning of a life of rootlessness, disguise, and longing. Five years later, in desperation, Gamaliel's parents entrust him to a young Christian cabaret singer named Ilonka. With his Jewish identity hidden, he survives the war, but in 1956, to escape the stranglehold of communism, he leaves Budapest after painfully parting with Ilonka. He settles in Vienna, then Paris, and finally, after a failed marriage, in New York, where he works as a ghostwriter, living through the lives of others. Eventually, he falls in with a group of exiles: a Spanish Civil War veteran, a survivor of the Warsaw ghetto, a victim of Stalinism, a former Israeli intelligence agent, and a rabbi a mystic whose belief in the potential for grace in everyday life powerfully counters Gamaliel's feelings of loss and dispossession. When Gamaliel is asked to help draw out an elderly, disfigured Hungarian woman who is barely able to communicate but who may be his beloved Ilonka, he begins to understand that a real life in the present is possible only if he will reconcile with his past. Aching, unsentimental, deeply affecting, and thought-provoking, The Time of the Uprooted is the work of a master. ". Signed by Author.

Dust Wrapper: "If ever a subject has been overexposed in our mass media, it is the contemporary unrest of the younger generation. Yet beyond the psychedelic art-nouveau spreads, behind the beads and the beards, lies a profound malaise, and not all or even most of it is in the hearts of the visibly disaffected. Many Americans, with the war in Vietnam on one hand and the crises in the cities on the other, are yearning, discomfited, aware that there are desperate dangers and new challenges. Yet most of us, surveying the scene, in the words of Bob Dylan 'don't know what it is.' In this book Jesse Kornbluth, Harvard '68, takes us on a skillfully guided tour, introducing, editing, and annotating a valuable book that might be called a king of Federalist papers of the New Revolution.".

From the wrapper: "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll" - that was the rallying cry for a movement that changed American culture forever. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the West Coast was the epicenter of rock music. From this untamed tumult, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and many others rocketed to national fame. But the media's version of the "summer of love" era only scratched the surface of the true story - which has never been told until now. Joel Selvin, who has been the pop music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle since those heady days, has woven a fascinating and sometimes lurid narrative history of the highest times of the rock era, separating surprising fact from entrenched mythology. Drawing on interviews with all the major players, including Jerry Garcia, Grace Slick, Steve Miller, and David Crosby, this compelling and comprehensive book pieces together the musical highs and lows the bands shared. From the little-known gun-toting Charlatans who started it all, to the later, chart-busting, raw soul sound of Santana, it takes you far off the beaten path and backstage at the Fillmore Auditorium, Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont. Filled with tales of bacchanalia, acid-laced jam sessions, crimes of passion, tragic ODs, and run-ins with ruthless promoters, record companies, and especially the law, Summer of Love brings new light to the icons of the most tumultuous and rebellious era in American music.
