Description: This Auction is for Two Novels About Women in the 1970s: The Flame Throwers by Rachel KushnerNATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST * NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW * New York magazine’s #1 Book of the Year * Best Book of 2013 by: The Wall Street Journal; Vogue; O, The Oprah Magazine; Los Angeles Times; The San Francisco Chronicle; The New Yorker; Time; Flavorwire; Salon; Slate; The Daily Beast“Superb…Scintillatingly alive…A pure explosion of now.”—The New YorkerReno, so-called because of the place of her birth, comes to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity—artists colonize a deserted and industrial SoHo, stage actions in the East Village, blur the line between life and art. Reno is submitted to a sentimental education of sorts—by dreamers, poseurs, and raconteurs in New York and by radicals in Italy, where she goes with her lover to meet his estranged and formidable family. Ardent, vulnerable, and bold, Reno is a fiercely memorable observer, superbly realized by Rachel Kushner. 9781439142011 The Heart of a Thirsty Woman by Lana WittThe year is 1976. Josie Tolliver lives in Pick, Kentucky, but her heart yearns to flee the small town. She spends her days reading Shakespeare and Carlos Castaneda and longing for the rarefied beauty of an Arizona sunset. She dreams of pursuing her passions in the desert town of Sage, where she lived briefly as a child -- and where, just maybe, she might find her sister Cheyenne, who disappeared when Josie was a teen. The only problem is that her husband Clarence, a TV repairman with dreams of starting the first satellite-dish business in Pick, is dead set against moving. After Josie's misguided but hilarious attempt to teach Pick about Castaneda backfires, even Clarence agrees it's time to leave town. The incongruous couple heads to Sage, where Josie rushes headlong into a whirlwind search for Cheyenne, self-knowledge, Castaneda's Don Juan -- and other mysteries that might help ease her unquenchable thirst for living. 9780671011468 Free Shipping!
