Byatt, A. S.
Possession: A Romance
New York Modern Library 2001 0679642382 / 9780679642381 First edition thus Hard Cover Fine Fine Movie Tie-in
Cloth, gilt, xv, 605 pp.; 19 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as 'a gifted observer, able to discern the exact details that bring whole worlds into being' and 'a storyteller who could keep a sultan on the edge of his throne for a thousand and one nights,' A. S. Byatt writes some of the most engaging and skillful novels of our time. Time magazine calls her 'a novelist of dazzling inventiveness.' Possession, for which Byatt won England's prestigious Booker Prize, was praised by critics on both sides of the Atlantic when it was first published in 1990. 'On academic rivalry and obsession, Byatt is delicious. On the nature of possession - the lover by the beloved, the biographer by his subject - she is profound,' said The Sunday Times (London). The New Yorker dubbed it 'more fun to read than The Name of the Rose...Its prankish verve [and] monstrous richness of detail [make for] a one-woman variety show of literary styles and types.' The novel traces a pair of young academics - Roland Michell and Maud Bailey - as they uncover a clandestine love affair between two long-dead Victorian poets. Interwoven in a mesmerizing pastiche are love letters and fairytales, extracts from biographies and scholarly accounts, creating a sensuous and utterly delightful novel of ideas and passions. With an Introduction by the author that describes the novel's origins and its twenty-year gestation, this Modern Library edition is a handsome keepsake for fans of Possession - new and old alike. / A. S. Byatt is the author of The Biographer's Tale, Elementals, and the Booker Prize-winning novel Possession, among other books. She lives in London." - Publisher.

Byatt, A. S. (Antonia Susan)
The Matisse Stories
New York Vintage Books; Vintage International Ser. 1996 067976223X / 9780679762232 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Very Good
128 pp.; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light shelfwear to wraps. 3 stories inspired by Matisse paintings. "These three stories celebrate the eye even as they reveal its unexpected proximity to the heart. For if each of A.S. Byatt's narratives is in some way inspired by a painting of Henri Matisse, each is also about the intimate connection between seeing and feeling--about the ways in which a glance we meant to be casual may suddenly call forth the deepest reserves of our being. Beautifully written, intensely observed, The Matisse Stories is fiction of spellbinding authority. / A. S. Byatt is the author of numerous novels, including A Whistling Woman and Possession, which was awarded the Booker Prize in 1990. She has also written two novellas, published together as Angels and Insects, four previous collections of shorter works, and several works of nonfiction. Educated at Cambridge, she was a senior lecturer in English at University College London. She lives in London." - Publisher.
