The Wrong Man The Right Time

A CYNICAL MAN MEETS… Clint Adams was a man with no illusions. The burly ex-marine had had his fill of dashed dreams; now, all he hoped to find was some peace. He came upon the rustic Ozarks cabin purely by chance. And there, he met up with a miracle. A VIRGIN BRIDE Pat Tyler was nearing thirty, and everyone in Yellville was urging her to wed. Even Pat couldn't explain anymore what she was waiting for. But then, like a miracle, Clint came along and awakened her, heart and soul. She would give up anything—and everything—to make the brooding man her own….

In 1959, Richard Bellamy was a witty, poetry-loving beatnik on the fringe of the New York art world who was drawn to artists impatient for change. By 1965, he was representing Mark di Suvero, was the first to show Andy Warhol’s pop art, and pioneered the practice of “off-site” exhibitions and introduced the new genre of installation art. As a dealer, he helped discover and champion many of the innovative successors to the abstract expressionists, including Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, Walter De Maria, and many others. The founder and director of the fabled Green Gallery on Fifty-Seventh Street, Bellamy thrived on the energy of the sixties. With the covert support of America’s first celebrity art collectors, Robert and Ethel Scull, Bellamy gained his footing just as pop art, minimalism, and conceptual art were taking hold and the art world was becoming a playground for millionaires. Yet as an eccentric impresario dogged by alcohol and uninterested in profits or posterity, Bellamy rarely did more than show the work he loved. As fellow dealers such as Leo Castelli and Sidney Janis capitalized on the stars he helped find, Bellamy slowly slid into obscurity, becoming the quiet man in oversize glasses in the corner of the room, a knowing and mischievous smile on his face. Born to an American father and a Chinese mother in a Cincinnati suburb, Bellamy moved to New York in his twenties and made a life for himself between the Beat orbits of Provincetown and white-glove events like the Guggenheim’s opening gala. No matter the scene, he was always considered “one of us,” partying with Norman Mailer, befriending Diane Arbus and Yoko Ono, and hosting or performing in historic Happenings. From his early days at the Hansa Gallery to his time at the Green to his later life as a private dealer, Bellamy had his finger on the pulse of the culture. Based on decades of research and on hundreds of interviews with Bellamy’s artists, friends, colleagues, and lovers, Judith E. Stein’s Eye of the Sixties rescues the legacy of the elusive art dealer and tells the story of a counterculture that became the mainstream. A tale of money, taste, loyalty, and luck, Richard Bellamy’s life is a remarkable window into the art of the twentieth century and the making of a generation’s aesthetic. -- "Bellamy had an understanding of art and a very fine sense of discovery. There was nobody like him, I think. I certainly consider myself his pupil." --Leo Castelli

A collection of essays extended from The New York Times' most-read article of 2016. Anyone we might marry could, of course, be a little bit wrong for us. We don’t expect bliss every day. The fault isn’t entirely our own; it has to do with the devilish truth that anyone we’re liable to meet is going to be rather wrong, in some fascinating way or another, because this is simply what all humans happen to be – including, sadly, ourselves. This collection of essays proposes that we don’t need perfection to be happy. So long as we enter our relationships in the right spirit, we have every chance of coping well enough with, and even delighting in, the inevitable and distinctive wrongness that lies in ourselves and our beloveds.

Memoir of one of India's most prominent businessmen The pioneer who gate-crashed his way to the top Subhash Chandra, the promoter of Essel/ Zee Group, is an unlikely mogul. Hailing from a small town in Haryana, where his family ran grain mills, Chandra has been a perennial outsider, repeatedly aiming high and breaking into businesses where he was considered an interloper. Starting work as a teen to pay off family debts, Chandra had to rely on bluff, gumption and sheer hard toil to turn things around. A little bit of luck and political patronage saw him make a fortune in rice exports to the erstwhile USSR. Always a risk-taker, Chandra then had the vision of getting into broadcasting early, even as established media players failed to see its potential. His Zee TV, India's first private Indian TV channel, changed the rules of the game and tickled the fancy of a public starved of entertainment. Several gutsy initiatives followed, though not all of them were successful. Chandra's attempts to launch satellite telephony and a cricket league came a cropper. But the man continues to reinvent himself; he is now also focusing on infrastructure and smart cities. This is an unusually candid memoir of a truly desi self-made businessman who came to Delhi at age twenty with seventeen rupees in his pocket. Today, he has a net worth of $6.3 billion and annual group revenues of about $3 billion.

Silas Leo and I have been so many things. We’ve been rivals, classmates, teammates. Friends. Friends you watch from afar each day, and dream of each night. Then we were… Well, we were just us. We didn’t ask ourselves too many questions – not even when I pretended not to be hurt by the distance he placed between us. We made each other no promises. I waited, hoped, believed, right up until the day I realised that everything we had was merely an illusion. My illusion. My name is Silas Kylemore, and I’ve learned an important lesson: never fall in love with your best friend. Not if he’ll never be able to love you back. Leo Silas and I have been through so many phases. We’ve been close, far, just a hair’s breadth apart. Each bound to the other. I’m talking about that kind of bond you’re never quite able to recreate. We were young, and we were… We were just us. We didn’t ask ourselves too many questions – not even when I pretended his absence didn’t kill me inside. We made each other no promises. I could never have imagined back then that what we had would push me away from him for all those years. Years that no one could ever give back to me. Years he’ll never forgive me for. My name is Leo Fitzpatrick, and I’ve learned an important lesson: never try to forget the person you loved. Not if he’s never been able to forget you. Each book in the series is STANDALONE: - The Best Man - The First Man - The Good Man - The Only Man - The Wrong Man
