Sam. E-book. Formato EPUB Lonnie Coleman - Classica Libris, 2020 -
In his new novel, the author of Adam’s Way and Clara brings his notable talent to bear on the New York scene, and in particular its literary and theatre milieu. This is a highly sophisticated community, with morals and neuroses to match, and almost all the characters are connected in some way with publishing, advertising or the theatre. Chief among them is Samuel Kendrick, a successful young publisher whose life is complicated by two emotional attachments, one for an unhappily married woman and one for a mediocre actor with whom he lives. The author’s honest treatment of his subject, and his refusal to shut his eyes to the behavior of his characters, results in one of the frankest, most direct and revealing pictures ever written of the homosexual and those whose lives he touches. That the book is something much more than just a novel on a “difficult” theme, however, is a tribute to Lonnie Coleman’s extraordinary skill as a writer.
Ship’s Company. E-book. Formato EPUB Lonnie Coleman - Classica Libris, 2020 -
This is the story of some of the men and women who won our war. Cowards and heroes, gunners and cooks, officers and enlisted men, GI’s, gobs, and nurses, they had one thing in common. That was the U.S.S. Nellie Crocker. The men and women were all different, and the stories about them have the spice and variety of life itself. They are funny, tragic, bawdy, reverent—but whether the scene is a landing assault or a North African brothel, the characters are living people. And beneath the broad comedy, beyond the shocking tragedy, is the deeply moral judgement of the author toward men and women.
