Vivian Gornick és una de les veus més lúcides de la crítica i l'assaig contemporani i una de les memorialistes més commovedores dels nostres temps. En aquest volum apleguem els seus dos esplèndids llibres de memòries. Vincles ferotges, publicat l'any 1987, és un dels testimonis més coratjosos i inspiradors sobre els lligams familiars que s'hagin escrit mai, construït a partir de converses, records i discussions entre Gornick i la seva mare mentre passegen per Nova York, que també té un paper importantíssim en tot el llibre. Gairebé trenta anys més tard, l'any 2015, retrobem Gornick a La dona singular i la ciutat, una oda a l'amistat, a l'amor i a la vida urbana teixida a la manera d'un collage narratiu que inclou converses sobre les relacions humanes, reflexions sobre feminisme i el fet de ser dona, soltera i sense fills, i sobre l'evolució de l'amistat al llarg dels segles. Aquests dos llibres ens descobreixen la veu implacable, sensible, crítica, vulnerable, tenaç, desacomplexada i ferotgement independent d'una dona, Vivian Gornick, que al llarg de la vida ha viscut i ha confrontat els seus conflictes en una recerca única i innegociable: el descobriment i la consciència d'ella mateixa.

Finalista del National Book Critics Circle Award A La fi de la novel·la d'amor, una provocadora col·lecció de crítica literària, Gornick exhibeix la mateixa intel·ligència, honestedat i profunditat d'ànima de les seves memòries a l'hora d'analitzar el sentit de l'amor i el matrimoni com a temes literaris del segle XX. Examina l'obra i la vida de diversos autors que admira —Grace Paley, Willa Cather, Jean Rhys, George Meredith o Jane Smiley, entre d'altres— i conclou que l'amor, la plenitud sexual i el matrimoni estan exhaurits com a expressions metafòriques de l'èxit i la felicitat. Com ja és habitual en la seva obra crítica, Gornick construeix i defensa els seus arguments amb un equilibri entre coneixement objectiu i experiència subjectiva i estableix, en aquests onze assajos, que la preocupació moderna real, per a la majoria d'escriptors i de lectors, és el drama de la por i la ira en relació amb l'experiència amorosa. La fi de la novel·la d'amor és una col·lecció d'assajos profundament original d'una de les escriptores i lectores contemporànies més lúcides del panorama internacional, que ens convida a reflexions que van molt més enllà de la literatura. «Llegir Vivian Gornick és una experiència apassionant, tonificant i provocadora», The Boston Sunday Globe «La prosa de Vivian Gornick és tan incisiva que de vegades pot ser quasi dolorós llegir-la... La fi de la novel·la d'amor, que examina les diverses connexions entre amor i literatura, destaca com a model de clarividència lluminosa», Los Angeles Times «La fi de la novel·la d'amor és aparentment modest de mida però enorme en les implicacions que conté. Es una lectura plaent i estimulant, persuasiva, ben construïda i vibrant d'intel·ligència», Boston Review

Comptes pendents: apunts d'una relectora empedreïda és la celebració per part de Vivian Gornick, una de les pensadores, crítiques i escriptores més importants del panorama nordamericà contemporani, de la passió que ha dominat la seva vida des de petita: la passió lectora. L'escriptora i crítica literària, encara una lectora vigorosa, intel·ligent i vital, parla del retorn una i altra vegada als llibres que la van forjar, que la van fer qui és ara, i reflexiona sobre l'impacte de les lectures en diferents moments crucials de la seva vida. Els nou assajos que componen el llibre barregen crítica literària, memòria i biografia, i giren al voltant de la importància de llegir —i rellegir— conforme anem envellint i la vida va avançant. Escrita amb el nervi i la profunditat d'ànima marca de la casa, Comptes pendents és un reconeixement magistral del poder que té la literatura d'il·luminar les nostres vides.

¿Què és l'escriptura del jo? ¿I la narrativa personal? ¿Com es distingeixen de les memòries o de l'autoficció? Vivian Gornick ho té molt clar: l'escriptura del jo consisteix a esprémer la matèria primera, o sigui, la pròpia experiència, i transformar-la en un relat universal que ens aporti profunditat d'ànima i autoconeixement. En el terreny de la ficció literària, el jo és sovint un narrador no fiable, però en la no-ficció s'estableix un pacte indestructible de veritat i honestedat entre l'escriptor i el lector. La situació i la història és un assaig clarivident i estimulant sobre l'art de l'escriptura del jo en el qual Gornick ens convida a reflexionar sobre la veritat en l'escriptura, ens ensenya a reconèixer-la en la pròpia prosa i l'aliena i ens mostra la perdurabilitat de narradors honestos en l'obra de Joan Didion, Oscar Wilde, James Baldwin o Marguerite Duras.

Stuck in a job he doesn't want - but can't afford to lose - as nominal Head of the Communications Department at Fenland University, Wilt is still subject to the whims of The Powers That Be, both in and outside of work. The demands of his snobbish wife Eva, and the stupendous school fees of his despicable quadruplet daughters, cause him the biggest headaches... apart from the hangovers, that is. When Eva signs him up for a summer job, teaching the gun-toting idiot son of a lusty local aristocrat, Wilt is not amused. But, as circumstances unravel and the summer goes on, Wilt sees that the situation could be put to his financial advantage, as well as giving Eva some headaches of her own. With Tom Sharpe's famous dark humour in full evidence, and an explosive plot which takes its readers to places they never realised they wanted to visit, The Wilt Inheritance is another instant classic from the British master of farce.

Vivian Gornick’s Fierce Attachments—hailed by the New York Times for the renowned feminist author’s “mesmerizing, thrilling” truths within its pages—has been selected by the publication’s book critics as the #1 Best Memoir of the Past 50 Years. In this deeply etched and haunting memoir, Vivian Gornick tells the story of her lifelong battle with her mother for independence. There have been numerous books about mother and daughter, but none has dealt with this closest of filial relations as directly or as ruthlessly. Gornick’s groundbreaking book confronts what Edna O’Brien has called “the principal crux of female despair”: the unacknowledged Oedipal nature of the mother-daughter bond. Born and raised in the Bronx, the daughter of “urban peasants,” Gornick grows up in a household dominated by her intelligent but uneducated mother’s romantic depression over the early death of her husband. Next door lives Nettie, an attractive widow whose calculating sensuality appeals greatly to Vivian. These women with their opposing models of femininity continue, well into adulthood, to affect Gornick’s struggle to find herself in love and in work. As Gornick walks with her aged mother through the streets of New York, arguing and remembering the past, each wins the reader’s admiration: the caustic and clear-thinking daughter, for her courage and tenacity in really talking to her mother about the most basic issues of their lives, and the still powerful and intuitively-wise old woman, who again and again proves herself her daughter’s mother. Unsparing, deeply courageous, Fierce Attachments is one of the most remarkable documents of family feeling that has been written, a classic that helped start the memoir boom and remains one of the most moving examples of the genre. “[Gornick] stares unflinchingly at all that is hidden, difficult, strange, unresolvable in herself and others—at loneliness, sexual malice and the devouring, claustral closeness of mothers and daughters...[Fierce Attachments is] a portrait of the artist as she finds a language—original, allergic to euphemism and therapeutic banalities—worthy of the women that raised her.”—The New York Times

It is one of the more surprising facts about Old England that one can still find families living in the same houses their ancestors built centuries before and on land that has belonged to them since before the Norman Conquest. The Gropes of Grope Hall are one such family.... The Gropes are an old English family based in Northumberland, separated from the rest of society and as eccentric as they come. It is a line dominated by strong-willed and oversexed women, determined to produce more female heirs regardless of whether their desired partners are willing ... At the dawn of the new millennium, timid and gormless teenager Esmond is abducted and lured to Grope Hall by a descendant of the Gropes. Young Esmond is powerless to escape, and his kidnap sets in motion a stream of farcical events that will have readers laughing out loud. Tom Sharpe's trademark humour abounds in this new novel, marking him out once again as an outstanding and unique British storyteller.

A contentious, deeply moving ode to friendship, love, and urban life in the spirit of Fierce Attachments A memoir of self-discovery and the dilemma of connection in our time, The Odd Woman and the City explores the rhythms, chance encounters, and ever-changing friendships of urban life that forge the sensibility of a fiercely independent woman who has lived out her conflicts, not her fantasies, in a city (New York) that has done the same. Running steadily through the book is Vivian Gornick's exchange of more than twenty years with Leonard, a gay man who is sophisticated about his own unhappiness, whose friendship has "shed more light on the mysterious nature of ordinary human relations than has any other intimacy" she has known. The exchange between Gornick and Leonard acts as a Greek chorus to the main action of the narrator's continual engagement on the street with grocers, derelicts, and doormen; people on the bus, cross-dressers on the corner, and acquaintances by the handful. In Leonard she sees herself reflected plain; out on the street she makes sense of what she sees. Written as a narrative collage that includes meditative pieces on the making of a modern feminist, the role of the flaneur in urban literature, and the evolution of friendship over the past two centuries, The Odd Woman and the City beautifully bookends Gornick's acclaimed Fierce Attachments, in which we first encountered her rich relationship with the ultimate metropolis.

Gornick on V. S. Naipaul, James Baldwin, George Gissing, Randall Jarrell, H. G. Wells, Loren Eiseley, Allen Ginsberg, Hayden Carruth, Saul Bellow, and Philip Roth and the intimate relationship between emotional damage and great literature. Vivian Gornick, one of our finest critics, tackled the theme of love and marriage in her last collection of essays, The End of the Novel of Love, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. In this new collection, she turns her attention to another large theme in literature: the struggle for the semblance of inner freedom. Great literature, she believes, is not the record of the achievement, but of the effort. Gornick, who emerged as a major writer during the second-wave feminist movement, came to realize that “ideology alone could not purge one of the pathological self-doubt that seemed every woman's bitter birthright.” Or, as Anton Chekhov put it so memorably: “Others made me a slave, but I must squeeze the slave out of myself, drop by drop.” Perhaps surprisingly, Gornick found particular inspiration for this challenge in the work of male writers—talented, but locked in perpetual rage, self-doubt, or social exile. From these men—who had infinitely more permission to do and be than women had ever known—she learned what it really meant to wrestle with demons. In the essays collected here, she explores the work of V. S. Naipaul, James Baldwin, George Gissing, Randall Jarrell, H. G. Wells, Loren Eiseley, Allen Ginsberg, Hayden Carruth, Saul Bellow, and Philip Roth. Throughout the book, Gornick is at her best: interpreting the intimate interrelationship of emotional damage, social history, and great literature.
