“[An] unsentimental, elegiac tale of a legendary gunslinger’s final days . . . Neider’s timeless novel sneaks up on readers with a kind of elliptical genius that simultaneously celebrates and subverts its mythos, anticipating and surpassing many of the revisionist Westerns that were to follow.” —David Wright, Library Journal, Starred Review
The 1950s classic that rewrote the myth of the American West and inspired its subsequent chroniclers from Sam Peckinpah to Marlon Brando to Cormac McCarthy.
“Pulsating with passion, parochialism, guilt and greed, this exposé of scandal and secrets is shocking and witty.” —Sally Morris, The Daily Mail
An erotic nightmare of Catholic longing, guilt, and desire and a banned classic of modern Irish literature.
“An enchanting double-helix biography . . . Contains enough mad capers, heaving proposals and dramatic death throes to be a veritable Harlequin romance for the literary set . . . It’s lacy and necessary filigree between the sober straight lines of history.” —Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times Book Review
For fans of Nancy Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love, this is the real-life story of Celia and Mamaine Paget: “devoted twins, whose lives and loves traversed the intellectual currents and crises of mid-twentieth century Europe” (Rupert Christiansen).
Marginalian Editions presents a groundbreaking poet’s biography of the forgotten scientist who founded physical chemistry, shaping much of the 20th century—and an ingenious, expansive treatise on American creativity, character, and remembrance.
John Gregory Dunne
Foreword by Stephanie Danler
“The best book about Sin City ever written . . . [Dunne’s] grotesqueries aren’t drug-induced, they’re very real. His is the genuine Vegas.” —Sean Manning, Esquire
“A fine, wry, perceptive, graceful book that does as much for the dark side of the American funhouse as Hunter Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas did for the manic side.” —Jonathan Yardley, The New York Times Book Review
