1.		The Situation and the Story: The Art of Personal Narrative from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Writers can be like cats, waiting for the right piece of string to be dangled in front of them, the one that tugs. The Situation and Story was that string for me, with the right words and examples at the right time to pull me forward. It's how Gornick describes the necessity to get inside one's own... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		The Men in My Life (Boston Review Books) from The MIT Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Vivian Gornick knows the personal value of reading literature, and it's great to have another book of essays on literature by her, even if the reader is left hungering for more than she actually gives of the personal perspective of Vivian Gornick herself in this particular work. The men in her... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The End of the Novel of Love from Beacon Press Price: $14.40 Customer Review: This series of essays reads like wonderful short stories, each about a writer's life and work, as it hones in on the central insight that compelled each one.

5.	[no image]	THEY WENT:TRAVEL WRITING CL (The Writer's Craft) from Houghton Mifflin Customer Review: The art and craft of travel writing is exactly what it sounds like.

6.		The Solitude of Self: Thinking About Elizabeth Cady Stanton from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $9.35 Customer Review: I enjoyed reading this short book about Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her times because it told me just enough about her and fitted her thoughts and ideas into what was going on intellectually in the United States at the time.

7.		Hungry Hearts (Signet Classic) from Signet Classics Customer Review: AnziaYezierska's short stories sketch a moving picture of the simple dreams of the poor European (would-be) immigrants into the US at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century: `For hundreds of years the persecuted races all over the world were nurtured on hopes of America ... the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Living to Tell the Tale: A Guide to Writing Memoir from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: Now that we hear so much about the post-traumatic stress syndrome that cripples a startling number of veterans returning from Iraq, we are increasingly aware of what a monumental influence trauma can have on an individual's life and on our society. But psychological traumas occur not only in the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

11.		Approaching Eye Level from Beacon Press Customer Review: I really enjoyed reading Vivian Gornick's Approaching Eye Level, and I don't even live alone. I didn't read too much into Ms. Gornick's essays; I pretty much took them at face value. Her writing style can be described as a bit rambling but also conversational. She probably write just like she... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

17.		Wasteland (Jps Gems of American Jewish Literature Series) from Jewish Publications Society Price: $16.00 Customer Review: Set in the mid-1940s, the story centers around the Brown family and is rendered in the form John's visits to his psychologist, an interesting literary device given that therapy was not widely utilized by the general populace. Initially John visits the doctor in an attempt to save his nephews from... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.	[no image]	Women in Sexist Society from Signet Customer Review: I found this in a used book store for a couple of dollars, and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down.
