CANADIAN REVIEWS LAUDED THE NOVEL COME FROM AWAY "The most impressive novel of the season." - Globe and Mail, Toronto"An extremely accomplished novel from an unknown writer, blessed with page-turning comic verve and acute social observation." - Toronto Star"Seldom has the lilt of a maritime accent been as successfully represented on the printed page as it is in this unassuming tale of a boy's coming of age on an Atlantic island." - Maclean's Magazine At the eastern end of the Canada-United States border, the foggy islands of the Bay of Fundy face a still older frontier - where fishermen challenge the sea from communities anchored in time. When American industrialist Walter Lismer tries to impose rapid change and local youth Paul Russell falls for his daughter, waves of conflict will test the toughness - and the tenderness - of "from-away" and island hearts. Come From Away is set in the early 1950s and was first published in 1981, to wide acclaim.This new edition brings back an era when life on sea and shore was forceful and direct, and community judgement could reshape lives.---------------------Joseph Green is the pen name of the author.

Accomplished in his career but unaccomplished in love, a middle-aged architect is torn apart by his obsession with an enigmatic young woman in this delicately told story of desire and abjection by a titan of Italian literature. Antonio Dorigi is a successful architect in Milan, nearing fifty, who has always been afraid of women. He has been a regular at an upscale brothel for years, even as he mourns the lack of close female companionship in his life. One afternoon, the madam at the brothel introduces Tonio to "a new girl," Laide (short for Adelaide). Tonio sees nothing especially remarkable about Laide, though it intrigues him that she dances at La Scala and also at a strip club, and yet in a very short time he becomes completely obssessed with her. Laide draws Antonio on, confounds him, uses and humiliates him, treats him tenderly from time to time, lies to him, makes no apologies to him, and he loves her ever more. This helpless and hopeless love is what he is, he feels, even as it prevents him--we see--from ever seeing Laide for who she is. Because Who is she? is the question at the heart of Buzzati's clear-eyed and often comic tale of infatuation. Laide is a young woman who has never known the bourgeois prosperity Tonio takes for granted, someone in a pickle looking for a main chance. She is a storyteller and someone, too, who knows how stories tell on people and shape their desires and lives. Is A Love Affair a love story or is it a story of anything but love? Buzzati's novel, with its psychological subtleties, its vivid cityscapes, and its compassion, keeps the reader guessing till the end.

In this moving collection, a childhood darkened by a harshly critical family follows the poet into his adult world, persisting like "...winter hanging on/ into spring," its "small hail" stinging every surface. Characterized by a wry wisdom, these haunted, evocative poems collapse the distance between past and present. With a stark, transcending grace, Joseph Green chronicles "Ordinary lives./ Ambitions spilling. Plans failing./ Dreams seeping out through the cracks." Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate

Between 1887 and 1927, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote sixty Sherlock Holmes stories, and his great Canon has become the most praised, most studied, and best-known chapter in the history of detective fiction. Over twenty thousand publications pertaining to the Sherlock Holmes phenomenon are known to have been published, most of them historical and critical studies. In addition, however, almost since the first stories appeared, such was their uniqueness and extraordinary attraction that other authors began writing stories based on or derived from them. A new genre had appeared: pastiches; parodies; burlesques; and stories that attempted to copy or rival the great detective himself. As the field widened, there was hardly a year in the twentieth century in which new short stories or novels did not appear. Many hundreds are now known to have been published, some of them written by authors well-known for their work in other literary fields. The non-canonical Sherlock Holmes literature not only constitutes a literary field of considerable historical interest, but includes many stories that are both enjoyable and fascinating in their own right. Although a large bibliography on these stories exists, and a few limited anthologies have been published, no attempt has previously been made to collect them all and discuss them comprehensively. The Alternative Sherlock Holmes does so: it provides a new and valuable approach to the Sherlock Holmes literature, as well as making available many works that have for years remained forgotten. Presented as an entertaining narrative, of interest to both the aficionado and the scholar, it provides full bibliographic data on virtually all the known stories in the field.
