In 1961, Beat writer Seymour Krim set Greenwich Village on its ear with a slim volume of essays that featured an unleashed voice, a brash title, and a foreword by Norman Mailer. James Baldwin called Views of a Nearsighted Cannoneer an "extraordinary volume." Saul Bellow published an excerpt in his journal, The Noble Savage, and Mailer saluted Krim's jazzy prose with its "shifts and shatterings" of mood. Despite such praise and critical attention, Krim's work is excluded from most Beat anthologies and is little known outside literary circles. With Missing a Beat, a collection of eighteen essays by Krim published between 1957 and 1988, Cohen introduces this influential writer to a new generation. In the Village Voice, New York Magazine, New York Times, and elsewhere, Krim pioneered a new style of subjective and personal reporting to write about the postwar American scene from a Jewish angle. Aggressively unacademic, Krim's journalism displays the rapid, nervous, breathless tempo that is a hallmark of Jewish American literature. Krim outlived his early literary fame, but he produced an impressive body of work and was a tremendous prose stylist. Missing a Beat resurrects an American original, finding Krim a new literary home among such celebrated writers as Norman Mailer, David Mamet, and Saul Bellow.

A gripping short biography of the extraordinary Wilkie Collins, author of The Moonstone and The Woman in White, two early masterpieces of mystery and detection.     Short and oddly built, with a head too big for his body, extremely nearsighted, unable to stay still, dressed in colorful clothes, Wilkie Collins looked distinctly strange. But he was nonetheless a charmer, befriended by the great, loved by children, irresistibly attractive to women—and avidly read by generations of readers. Peter Ackroyd follows his hero, "the sweetest-tempered of all the Victorian novelists," from Collins' childhood as the son of a well-known artist to his struggling beginnings as a writer, his years of fame, and his lifelong friendship with that other great London chronicler, Charles Dickens. In addition to his enduring masterpieces, The Moonstone—often called the first true detective novel—and the sensational The Woman in White, he produced an intriguing array of lesser known works. Told with Ackroyd's inimitable verve, this is a ravishingly entertaining life of a great storyteller, full of surprises, rich in humor and sympathetic understanding.

From the inside flap: A great white shark, an adolescent killer whale, a giant nearsighted tortoise, a temperamental dolphin - these creatures of the deep are some of the daily companions to a man who claims he's spent more time underwater in the last ten years than any other living person. Don Reed's occupation is one of the most unusual in the world: oceanarium diver at San Francisco's Marine World. It's a job that calls for an appetite for the unexpected, an ability to maneuver a way out of dangerous situations, a strong sense of humor, and a special kind of insight into the psychology of exotic natures that often seem as variable and quirky as those of human beings. Don Reed is a man who loves his work. He's been a scuba diver nearly all of his adult life, ever since a stint on the Mississippi as a deckhand convinced him that working underwater would be a whole lot better than working on it. He's put all his knowledge and his love into this delightful book.
