No But I Saw The Movie
(High Noon. All About Eve. The Fly. Blow-Up. The Heartbrea...)
High Noon. All About Eve. The Fly. Blow-Up. The Heartbreak Kid. The Jazz Singer. Guys and Dolls. Stagecoach. Don't Look Now. Psycho. Behind many of Hollywood's greatest movies are equally great short stories. No, But I Saw the Movie collects more than two dozen of the world's best films as they were originally written, such stories as: "Rear Window," Cornell Woolrich's tale of innocent voyeurism run mad -- which became a Hitchcock masterpiece; "The Sentinel" by Arthur C. Clarke, the chilling science-fiction tale that was the basis for the smash film 2001: A Space Odyssey; "Night Bus" by Samuel Hopkins Adams, the romance Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert brought to life in It Happened One Night -- winner of an armful of Oscars. These outstanding stories represent many genres -- comedy, true crime, science fiction, romance, horror -- and each is timeless in its own right. For those who've spent hours in dark theaters enjoying the best films of our century, here is a collection of cinematic tales to delight film buffs and fiction aficionados alike.

Harking from the golden age of fiction set in American suburbiathe school of John Updike and Cheeverthis work from the great American humorist Peter De Vries looks with laughter upon its lawns, its cocktails, and its slightly unreal feeling of comfort. De Vries’s classic situation comedy The Tunnel of Love follows the interactions of a socially insecure, pun-loving family man, an officious lady caseworker from an adoption agency, and a chauvinist pigall suburban neighbors who know far too much about one another’s private lives in this goofy and gently hilarious tale of marital quibbles. Noted as much for his verbal fluidity and wordplay as for his ability to see humor through pain, De Vries will delight both new readers and old in this uproarious modern masterpiece.

The Mackerel Plaza
(Dust jacket notes: "A man wants to take a second wife whi...)
Dust jacket notes: "A man wants to take a second wife while the town is still busily commemorating his departed first - that is Andrew Mackerel's predicament in a nutshell. He is a clergyman, of so modern a stripe as to be found, on page one, complaining to the Zoning Board about a revivalist sign which is visible from his study window. He learns to his horror that the garish billboard has been erected by a member of his own congregation, and in memory of his own wife. Mackerel explains the inaptness of the gift to the simple-minded donor, who switches to another, a huge memorial plaza which 'keeps her memory green' on such a scale and for so long that our suitor is forced underground with his intended. For the sake of appearances, that is, of plain good taste, the lovers meet in dim bars and seedy hotels in the disreputable quarter of town. There is another woman in the case, the late celebrity's sister, who also helps keep the late Ida May's memory green - just as green as need be to box the would-be lovers in for a decisive war of nerves. The result is one of the most hilarious triangles in modern fiction."

The most poignant of all De Vries's novels, The Blood of the Lamb is also the most autobiographical. It follows the life of Don Wanderhop from his childhood in an immigrant Calvinist family living in Chicago in the 1950s through the loss of a brother, his faith, his wife, and finally his daughter-a tragedy drawn directly from De Vries's own life. Despite its foundation in misfortune, The Blood of the Lamb offers glimpses of the comic sensibility for which De Vries was famous. Engaging directly with the reader in a manner that buttresses the personal intimacy of the story, De Vries writes with a powerful blend of grief, love, wit, and fury.

Harking from the golden age of fiction set in American suburbiathe school of John Updike and Cheeverthis work from the great American humorist Peter De Vries looks with laughter upon its lawns, its cocktails, and its slightly unreal feeling of comfort. Without a Stitch in Time, a selection of forty-six articles and stories written for the New Yorker between 1943 and 1973, offers pun-filled autobiographical vignettes that reveal the source of De Vries’s nervous wit: the cognitive dissonance between his Calvinist upbringing in 1920s Chicago and the all-too-perfect postwar world. Noted as much for his verbal fluidity and wordplay as for his ability to see humor through pain, De Vries will delight both new readers and old in this uproarious modern masterpiece.

Daisy Dobbin is an undercover feminist out to study sexual harassment in business offices, particularly that of Metropole magazine. To research it, of course, she must attract it - and thereby hangs the tale. The irony of her falling in love with the boss is serendipity enough without a resulting down-to-the-wire rivalry with a sister conspirator, her old girlhood chum Effie Sniffen. This the war between men and women becomes thematically interlocked with the competition among women for men, a double motif effected with all the comic subtlety we have come to expect from De Vries.

It is 1963 in an unnamed town in North Dakota, and Anthony Thrasher is languishing for a second year in eighth grade. Prematurely sophisticated, young Anthony spends too much time reading Joyce, Eliot, and Dylan Thomas but not enough time studying the War of 1812 or obtuse triangles. A tutor is hired, and this "modern Hester Prynne" offers Anthony lessons that ultimately free him from eighth grade and situate her on the cusp of the American sexual revolution. Anthony's restless adolescent voice is perfectly suited to De Vries's blend of erudite wit and silliness—not to mention his fascination with both language and female anatomy—and it propels Slouching Towards Kalamazoo through theological debates and quandaries both dermatological and ethical, while soaring on the De Vriesian hallmark of scrambling conventional wisdom for comic effect.

(Publisher's notes: "The golden age of safaris spanned eig...)
Publisher's notes: "The golden age of safaris spanned eighty years, a time when such legendary hunters as R.J. Cunninghame, Philip Percival, J.A. Hunter, Karamoja Bell, and the romantic Denys Finch Hatton roamed the African bush. They inspired Ernest Hemingway, Robert Ruark, and Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), whose stories became movies starring Clark Gable, Gregory Peck and Robert Redford. Romantic and frequently reckless, these professional hunters were witnesses to the richest wildlife spectacle the earth has ever known....By 1910 Nairobi's dashing white hunters were in the ascendancy. Early safari clients, such as Teddy Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and the Prince of Wales who would reign briefly as King Edward VII, came to the field kitted out with made-to-measure jodhpurs and bush jackets fitted with sewn-in cartridge loops. They sailed from New York or London on German Lloyd steamers and were met by deluxe trains at Mombasa for the journey into the heart of big-game country. In the first book to tell the complete story of the great African safaris, Brian Herne evokes the harmony that once existed between hunters and such magnificent animals as elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino - the big five - that roamed the high plateaus of East Africa in large numbers before poaching and politics intervened. Beyond the glamour of hunting safaris, the author shows the intricate connection between hunting and conservation and provides evidence that elephant and rhino populations are beginning to rebound after years of devastation."

Harking from the golden age of fiction set in American suburbiathe school of John Updike and Cheeverthis work from the great American humorist Peter De Vries looks with laughter upon its lawns, its cocktails, and its slightly unreal feeling of comfort. A manic epic, Reuben, Reuben is really three books in one, tied together by a 1950s suburban Connecticut setting and hyper-literate cast of characters. A corruptible chicken farmer fearful for the fate of his beloved town, a womanizing poet from Wales (Dylan Thomas in disguise), and a hapless British poet-cum-actor-and-agent all take turns as narrator, revealing different, even conflicting views. But alcoholism, sexism, small-mindedness, and calamity challenge the high spirits of De Vries’s well-read suburbanites. Noted as much for his verbal fluidity and wordplay as for his ability to see humor through pain, De Vries will delight both new readers and old in this uproarious modern masterpiece.
