- Fugitive Pieces

McClelland & Stewart. 1996. (ISBN: 0771058837) . Book, "It is just months before the Nazi occupation of Poland, and, from the mud of a buried city, Jakob Beer, an orphaned Jewish boy, finds himself rescued by an unlikely saviour. He is saved by the geologist and humanist Athos Roussos, who takes him to his Greek island home where he becomes his student. But the trauma of Jakob's early life refuses to leave him. Living forever in the shadow of the Holocaust, although Jakob has escaped the most terrible fate of all, he must yet steel himself to excavate the horrors of his own history." Fugitive Pieces was the winner of the Orange Prize for Fiction, Guardian First Book Award, City of Toronto Book Award, Ontario's Trillium Book Award, and the Books in Canada First Novel Award. The movie based on this story, directed by Jeremy Podeswa, opened the September 2007 Toronto International Film Festival. Canadian first edition in French Wraps reprinted.

BURNEY (Charles). D'ARBLAY (Madame): - Memoirs of Doctor Burney, from Family Papers, and from Personal Recollections.

London: Edward Moxon..., 1832 FIRST EDITION. 3 volumes. 8vo, 212 x 130 mms., pp. xvi, 360;[iv], 400; [iv], 436 [437 printer's imprint, 438 - 440 adverts], lacking half titles, contemporary half calf, freen morocco labels, marbled boards (slightly rubbed), but a good to very good set. Charles Burney began composing his "memoirs" in August, 1782, and added to them as the years progressed. Fanny Burney, as is well known and by her own admission "committed to the Flames" most of his work, a suppression that she tried to justify on grounds of her father's supposed senility. The work is not, of course, reliable as a guide to her father's life, and much of its interest and usefulness lies in the reasons for her demonstrable dishonesty in misrepresenting her motives for destroying his papers. As Roger Lonsdale notes in his biography of Charles Burney, Fanny "devotes more space to the appearance of her own novels than to that of her father's works.... The Memoirs of Dr. Burney can indeed be taken as Fanny's last novel."
