New Releases at Berkelouw Books

 

American Sucker - David Denby.A wondrous, riveting book that blends a sort of Woody Allen whimsy with the gut-punch honesty of some sensitive relative's secret diary, unearthed from the bottom drawer...Without being maudlin or cheap, Denby reveals the breakup of his marriage, his lonely pursuit of online pornography, his cherishing of his two sons and his obsession with his iconic Upper West Side apartment, which came to represent the happy family life that was slipping away from him. His desire to hold onto that silver of real estate-for what it stood for-drove his search for riches in the marketplace. Somehow, he manages to make that ambition seem poignant, not pointless. $26.00

Elegance - Kathleen Tessaro. Audrey Hepburn had it. Grace Kelly had it. Louise Canova does not. Elegance that is. Nor does she have the answers to get her life, her looks or her marriage back on track. Then one day she discovers a faded hardback in a second-hand shop. Elegance, an A-Z of style written by French fashion expert Madame Antoine Dariaux, is a revelation. From Accessories to Zippers, there is nothing that Madame cannot advise upon, including types of husband (and how to manage them) and shopping with girlfriends (don't). When Louise takes the book to heart, her life is transformed. But as her old self begins to disappear, it is clear there is more to true elegance than she bargained for. Looking the part is only the beginning. $21.95
