The Leisure Seeker
Author: Michael Zadoorian
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0061984515
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Now a major film starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland, a novel “like life itself: joyous, painful, moving, tragic, mysterious, and not to be missed” (Booklist, starred review). The Robinas have shared a wonderful life for more than sixty years. Now in their eighties, Ella suffers from cancer and John has Alzheimer's. Yearning for one last adventure, the self-proclaimed “down-on-their-luck geezers” kidnap themselves from the adult children and doctors who seem to run their lives and steal away from their home in suburban Detroit on a forbidden vacation of rediscovery. With Ella as his vigilant copilot, John steers their ’78 Leisure Seeker RV along the forgotten roads of Route 66 toward Disneyland in search of a past they're having a damned hard time remembering. Yet Ella is determined to prove that, when it comes to life, you can go back for seconds—even when everyone says you can't. “Come to the end and you’ll say, Oh my God.” —Elmore Leonard, New York Times bestselling author of Get Shorty “A sweet natured travelogue that’s about the end of the road in more ways than one.” —Bob Morris, author of Assisted Loving “An affecting road novel. . . . Ella’s wise, feisty voice turns what could be a sappy melodrama into an authentic and funny love story.” —Publishers Weekly “Both achingly sad and intensely romantic, this unforgettable story of a last honeymoon hooked me from the first page.” —Marjorie Hart, author of the national bestseller Summer at Tiffany “Zadoorian is true to these geezers. He draws them in their most honest light . . . I hoped for a book that would make me laugh during these tight times, and I was rewarded.” —Los Angeles Times

Boom
Author: Michael Shnayerson
Publisher: PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1610398416
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
The meteoric rise of the largest unregulated financial market in the world -- for contemporary art -- is driven by a few passionate, guileful, and very hard-nosed dealers. They can make and break careers and fortunes. The contemporary art market is an international juggernaut, throwing off multimillion-dollar deals as wealthy buyers move from fair to fair, auction to auction, party to glittering party. But none of it would happen without the dealers-the tastemakers who back emerging artists and steer them to success, often to see them picked off by a rival. Dealers operate within a private world of handshake agreements, negotiating for the highest commissions. Michael Shnayerson, a longtime contributing editor to Vanity Fair, writes the first ever definitive history of their activities. He has spoken to all of today's so-called mega dealers -- Larry Gagosian, David Zwirner, Arne and Marc Glimcher, and Iwan Wirth -- along with dozens of other dealers -- from Irving Blum to Gavin Brown -- who worked with the greatest artists of their times: Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, and more. This kaleidoscopic history begins in the mid-1940s in genteel poverty with a scattering of galleries in midtown Manhattan, takes us through the ramshackle 1950s studios of Coenties Slip, the hipster locations in SoHo and Chelsea, London's Bond Street, and across the terraces of Art Basel until today. Now, dealers and auctioneers are seeking the first billion-dollar painting. It hasn't happened yet, but they are confident they can push the price there soon.
