A Feminist classic paperback re-release. This is a remarkable work. It's learned and frivolous, female not feminine, silly and serious. The quality of the prose achieves a kind of concerto-like poetry where the many instruments of differing tones assist the reader to know who is who. Remember the Tarantella is a novel with twenty-six characters each represented by a letter of the alphabet with the vowels as central characters. The 'tarantella' of the title is not the mating dance, but the ruse of the women who did not want to be burnt as witches. At the reputed bite of the spider, they went into some kind of mania and danced themselves into the sea to drown instead. Released to acclaim in 1987, Remember The Tarantella was heralded as a great work of feminist fi ction. Released as an eBook in 2010, this classic will now be re-released in paperback.

"Singer. Dancer. Burlesque club stripper. Gangster moll. Communist revolutionary. Screen legend Karen Jamey has worn a lot of hats in her time and loved more men than the staff of a Reno cathouse. From her auspicious beginnings on the Baltimore stage to her status as the reigning queen of the B-movie scene, I, An Actress takes a sordid journey through the darkly funny underbelly of fame." "With characteristic wit, candor, and cluelessness, Ms. Jamey reflects on the events that have shaped her into the beloved American figure she is today - her mother's sad descent into hoboism, the untimely death and subsequent resurrection of her grandfather, the films that built her up, and the men that tore her down. Relentlessly dolling out morbid humor and mercilessly skewering Hollywood cliches, I, An Actress is a romp through the twists and turns of fame."--BOOK JACKET.

“A cast of kooky, dangerous characters worthy of Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen . . . A funny, often harrowing crime novel” (Booklist). In this follow-up to the Anthony Award finalist Devil’s Food, fugitive-hunter Loretta Kovacs races to keep one hitman from killing another. The intended victim is a valuable government witness against the mob, and a dirty FBI agent is helping the bad guys. Now, while she struggles to kick her caffeine habit once and for all, Loretta must fend off the advances of an amorous mob boss while babysitting the cantankerous witness in Seattle—the capital of coffee—in this “highly entertaining” caper (Kirkus Reviews). “Fans of comic mysteries should add Bruno to their must-read list, alongside Laurence Shames and Janet Evanovich.” —Booklist

Hidden behind a cloak of exotic mystery, Cuba is virtually unknown to American citizens. G. Cabrera Infante--in Infante's Inferno and several of his other novels--allows readers to peek behind the curtain surrounding this island and see the vibrant life that existed there before Fidel Castro's regime. Detailing the sexual education and adventures of the author, Infante's Inferno is a lush, erotic, funny book that provides readers with insight into what it was like to grow up in pre-revolutionary Havana. Viewing every girl as a potential lover, and the movies as a place both for entertainment and potential sexual escapades, Cabrera Infante captures the adolescent male mindset with a great deal of fun and self-consciousness. With his hallmark of puns and wordplay--excellently translated by Suzanne Jill Levine--Cabrera Infante has hilariously updated the Don Juan myth in a tropical setting.
