When she pulled The Carpetbaggers off the shelf, looking for a good read to while away the weekend, Grace Palermo never imagined that she would soon meet the book s international best-selling author, let alone spend the next thirty years of her life with him. When Grace and Harold met, his career was already well established, but over the next thirty years, his fame would become legendary, as did their lifestyle together. This engrossing memoir spans the 60s, 70s, and 80s, in all their hallucinogenic and freewheeling splendor. The couple was at the center of a globetrotting jet set, with mansions in Beverly Hills, villas and yachts in the South of France and Acapulco, known for their lavish and sometimes orgiastic parties. Their life together rivaled that of the characters in Harold s books, but in the privacy of their home things weren t always as they seemed. Not only does Grace Robbins reveal what it was like to live alongside the prince of sex and scandal, but she also takes us on journey of rollicking good fun, be it through anecdotes of a chance meeting with Pablo Picasso, a lifetime friendship with James Baldwin, or a racy evening in Hamburg with composer Frederick Lowe. With charm, introspection, and humor, Grace lays open her fascinating, roller-coaster ride, Cinderella tale--and the secrets she harbored for some forty years.

The follow-up to the critically acclaimed collection Southern Manhood: Perspectives on Masculinity in the Old South (Georgia, 2004), Southern Masculinity explores the contours of southern male identity from Reconstruction to the present. Twelve case studies document the changing definitions of southern masculine identity as understood in conjunction with identities based on race, gender, age, sexuality, and geography. After the Civil War, southern men crafted notions of manhood in opposition to northern ideals of masculinity and as counterpoint to southern womanhood. At the same time, manliness in the South--as understood by individuals and within communities--retained and transformed antebellum conceptions of honor and mastery. This collection examines masculinity with respect to Reconstruction, the New South, racism, southern womanhood, the Sunbelt, gay rights, and the rise of the Christian Right. Familiar figures such as Arthur Ashe are investigated from fresh angles, while other essays plumb new areas such as the womanless wedding and Cherokee masculinity.

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Crusie brings humor and storytelling magic to this modern-day romance about a match with a dubious beginning—that is destined for a fairy-tale ending. Daisy Flattery is a free spirit with a soft spot for strays and a weakness for a good story. Why else would she agree to the outrageous charade offered by her buttoned-down workaholic neighbor, Linc Blaise? The history professor needs a makeshift fiancée to secure his dream job, and Daisy needs a short-term gig to support her painting career. And so the Cinderella Deal is born: Daisy will transform herself into Linc’s prim-and-proper fiancée, and at the stroke of midnight they will part ways, no glass slippers attached. But something funny happens on their way to make-believe bliss, as a fake engagement unexpectedly spirals into an actual wedding. Now, with Linc and Daisy married and under one roof, what started as a game begins to feel real—and the people who seem so wrong for each other realize they may truly be just right.
