Critical Remarks on Youngs Novels and Poems THE REUNION (The New International Library, Inc.) I have read your novel, THE REUNION, with interest and excitement. I think of the originality of the whole conception and swift pace with which you carry it off. Mark Schorer, writer and critic. THE LIONS SHARE (Avranches Press) Thanks for the gift of THE LIONS SHARE, which Ive read practically in one sitting with considerable admiration. The book is wonderfully readable. Paul Fussell, author of the classical study of war, THE GREAT WAR AND MODERN MEMORY. Thanks for sending me your novel THE LIONS SHARE, which I have now read and enjoyed very much. You have a wonderful way with words and scenes. As Paul Fussell says, the book is wonderfully readable. Stephen E. Ambrose, author of CITIZEN SOLDIERS I liked your book (THE LIONS SHARE). It rings true. Only someone who was there could have written it. John Toland, author of BATTLE: THE STORY OF THE BULGE. THE BATTLE FOR SNOW MOUNTAIN (Pocol Press) Ive never read a more powerful anti-war novel than THE BATTLE FOR SNOW MOUNTAIN, not that its an anti-war novel in an ideological sense or a political novel. The reader shares the fact that no one knew what was going on, the blinding snowstorms working beautifully. There is the quixotic pair, idealistic and realistic, but again not as symbols, but as real people. John Dizikes, formerly Professor in the American Studies Program at the University of California Santa Cruz.

American author, poet, and editor Nathaniel Parker Willis's Famous Persons and Places is primarily composed of personal portrayals and his traditional sketches of prominent contemporaries. The book contains value and is independent of its literary merits to a certain degree. Willis worked with several notable American writers, including Edgar Allan Poe and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and became the highest-paid magazine writer of that time.

The world's most famous portraits and the hidden stories behind their subjects are explored in this fascinating and highly entertaining book. Portraiture is one of the oldest and most studied genres of art. While most scholars will look at a painting's composition, style, and themes, often questions remain unanswered--who were these people and why were they painted? This entertaining book reveals the identities and lives of some of the most famous characters that populate art history--from the Renaissance to the 21st century. Readers will learn how the fifteen-year-old subject of da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine nearly destroyed a marriage; that van Dyck's depiction of Prudence in wild clothes is actually one of the most controversial aristocrats of the seventeenth century; and that Francis Bacon's character George Dyer was a man he met in a Soho nightclub. These and other stories behind works by Picasso, Klimt, Rubens, Warhol, and dozens of other artists show how portraiture remains one of the most enthralling genres. Based on art scholarship and conveyed in an accessible tone, these fascinating tales of power, lust, intrigue, jealousy, vengeance, and romance will help readers understand masterpieces of art history in an entirely new light.
