Geoff S.'s Recommendations

Enormous Changes at the Last Minute
by Grace Paley
Farrar Straus & Giroux

Our Price: $15.00

I wrote this to a friend once:

This is the literary equivalent of sitting on a dock watching sailboats drift in & out, across heartless tall buildings, dreaming about picnics you once had under bridges in cities you don’t live in anymore. So this is for when it rains.

Swann's Way
by Marcel Proust
Penguin Classics

Our Price: $16.00

Forget the pretense. Just have your heart broken as you look back to the far reaches of your own fleeting memories. Lydia Davis's is a sure and gentle hand to guide you.

Chavez: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, a Case Study of Politics and the Media
by Rod Stoneman
Wallflower Pr

Our Price: $29.50

Not just a true glimpse at the character of Hugo Chávez and the climate of Venezuelan politics. This is also a documentary of the highest order. One feels that the filmmakers are as swept away as the audience, and ultimately quite literally.
