Abram Tertz A Voice from the Chorus
London Quartet 1994 0-7043-0211-X / 9780704302112 First British Paperback Trade Paperback Near Fine Autobiography Cover: J. Forss
This is a remarkable and unique piece of prison literature. Based on the author's letters to his wife during his incarceration in a Soviet forced-labour camp in the 1960s, it was published under Andrei Sinyavsky's nom de plume "Abram Tertz" . Because of the strict censorship control over what Sinyavsky could and could not write in these letters, his references to camp life and to conditions there are of necessity subtly oblique. More open is the revelation of the inner world of the author's thoughts and reflections. In a richly textured prose of exceptional power, he debates major themes such as art, religion and the mysteries of human life. He builds extraordinary miniature essays into his letters; whether on the Russian criminal world or on Byzantine emperors, the theory of evolution or the importance of the Holy Ghost, Irish legend or English literature, his range is dazzling. The babble, or "chorus", of voices surrounding Sinyavsky in the bleak, overcrowded camp compound offset his silent thoughts, their language mirroring their spiritual desolation. Yet, far from being bleak and bitter, Sinyavsky's letters de profundis are full of serenity, love and benevolence.

Annie Dillard An American Childhood
New York Harper & Row 1987 First Hard Cover Near Fine Very Good Cover: John Kane
An American Childhood is about what it feels like to be alive and awake. Annie Dillard continues the passionate exploration of the interior life she began in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. She evokes childhood's vigor, clarity and keenness. "I grew up in Pittsburgh in the 1950s," she writes, "in a house full of comedians, reading books." Dillard learns her world, a grand and paradoxical one. She bird-watches at the country club. Her father quits his corporation job and takes his boat down the Ohio River alone for a few months, down toward New Orleans. Her mother teaches the three sisters how to tell a joke, dance all night, and bet a poker hand. Dillard's ecstatic interest in the world begins here in childhood. She collects rocks and insects; she makes sharp pencil drawings; she memorizes faces for detective work, pitches a baseball, plays with a microscope, learns psalms, tries flying. It's an ordinary childhood. What is extraordinary is Dillard's distinctive irony and humour coupled with the power and depth of her probing. This is a sweeping and original book, a classic story of the dawning of an American consciousness.
