    <![CDATA[ From the 2005 winner of the Governor General’s Award for Fiction and the former national film critic for CBC television comes a delightful and absorbing book about the agonies and joys of home-schooling a beloved son.<br/><br/>Written in the spare elegant style he is known for, The Film Club is the true story about David Gilmour’s decision to let his 15-year-old son drop out of high school on the condition that the boy agrees to watch three films a week with him. The book examines how those pivotal years changed both their lives.<br/><br/>From French New Wave, Kurosawa, and New German cinema, to De Palma, film noir, Cronenberg and Billy Wilder, among many others from world cinema, we read about key moments in each film, as the author teaches his son about life and the vagaries of growing up through the power of the movies. Replete with page-turning descriptions of scenes and actors and directors, the narrative is framed with the tender story of his son’s bittersweet first loves. This is a charming and poignant story about a very special time in a father and son’s relationship.<br/>  ]]>

    <![CDATA[After she leaves you, how bad can it get? An exhilarating novel of erotic and psychotic extremes from one of Canada's best novelists.  <p>Everyone would agree that Darius Halloway is the most civilized of men--a professor of French literature, a connoisseur of ideas and women and wine, a perfect guest at life's dinner party. Darius himself would agree--that is, he would until Emma, waifish and insatiable Emma, leaves her empty clothes hangers rattling in his closet and walks out the door.  <p>For a little while, it's not so bad. He's in shock. He thinks she must come back. And other women find his melancholy quite compelling. But then the sparrows of insomnia start picking at the inside of his skull. And life's little aggravating moments seem to require him to seek direct retaliation. And all his smoothness and cleverness is soon directed toward wreaking the most elaborate revenge...and getting away with it. Until the ultimate revenge arises, and there he is, in the most damning of situations, with his nerves on fire and his heart in his throat...and finally not thinking of Emma.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Bix has it all: a failed marriage, a faltering career as a speechwriter, a drinking problem (not to mention the pills) and a wayward eye for the women.  The last thing he needs is trouble named Holly, which is, of course, exactly what he gets -- briefly.  His only assets are his daughter Zoey and an excruciating (and excruciatingly funny) sense of who he is, which becomes his path to redemption from the erotic rollercoaster that is this impressive and un-put-downable novel.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<strong>A sparkling, provocative history of the English in South Asia during Queen Victoria's reign</strong>&lt;/div&gt;<br/>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Between 1837 and 1901, less than 100,000 Britons at any one time managed an empire of 300 million people spread over the vast area that now includes India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Burma. How was this possible, and what were these people like? The British administration in India took pride in its efficiency and broad-mindedness, its devotion to duty and its sense of imperial grandeur, but it has become fashionable to deprecate it for its arrogance and ignorance. In this balanced, witty, and multi-faceted history, David Gilmour goes far to explain the paradoxes of the &quot;Anglo-Indians,&quot; showing us what they hoped to achieve and what sort of society they thought they were helping to build. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<br/><em>The Ruling Caste</em> principally concerns the officers of the legendary India Civil Service--each of whom to perform as magistrate, settlement officer, sanitation inspector, public-health officer, and more for the million or so people in his charge. Gilmour extends his study to every level of the administration and to the officers' women and children, so often ignored in previous works. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em></em> &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>The Ruling Caste</em> is the best book yet on the real trials and triumphs of an imperial ruling class; on the dangerous temptations that an empire's power encourages; on relations between governor and governed, between European and Asian. No one interested in politics and social history can afford to miss this book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;<strong>&#8220;Readable and reliable . . . [Gilmour&#8217;s] assessment of the political background of Kipling&#8217;s writings is exemplary.&#8221; &#8212;Earl L. Dachslager, <em>Houston Chronicle</em></strong><br/><br/>David Gilmour&#8217;s superbly nuanced biography of Rudyard Kipling, now available in paperback, is the first to show how the great writer&#8217;s life and work mirrored the trajectory of the British Empire, from its zenith to its final decades. His great poem &#8220;Recessional&#8221; celebrated Queen Victoria&#8217;s Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and his last poems warned of the dangers of Nazism, while Kipling himself, an icon of the empire, was transformed from an apostle of success to a prophet of national decline. As Gilmour makes clear, Kipling&#8217;s mysterious and enduring works deeply influenced the way his readers saw both themselves and the British Empire, and they continue to challenge our own generation.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<strong>&quot;Elegant biography . . . a fast-moving, entertaining, and finely written story.&quot; --Simon Schama,<em> The New Yorker</em></strong>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;George Nathaniel Curzon's controversial life in public service stretched from the high noon of his country's empire to the traumatized years following World War I. As viceroy of India under Queen Victoria and foreign secretary under King George V, the obsessive Lord Curzon left his unmistakable mark on the era. David Gilmour's award-winning book is a brilliant assessment of Curzon's character and achievements, offering a richly dramatic account of the infamous long vendettas, the turbulent friendships, and the passionate, risky love affairs that complicated and enriched his life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<br/>Born into the ruling class of what was then the world's greatest power, Curzon was a fervent believer in British imperialism who spent his life proving he was fit for the task. Often seen as arrogant and tempestuous, he was loathed as much as he was adored, his work disparaged as much as it was admired. In Gilmour's well-rounded appraisal, Curzon is seen as a complex, tragic figure, a gifted leader who saw his imperial world overshadowed at the dawn of democracy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[David braucht viel Kraft, als sein minderjähriger Sohn Jesse ihm offenbart, dass er die Schule schmeißen will. Ok, so der Papa, selbst Autor, Journalist und Filmkritiker, aber nur wenn Jesse sich die Zeit nimmt, mit ihm drei Filme pro Woche anzusehen. Übrigens: das Buch über David und Jesse ist nicht nur eine sehr warmherzige, sondern zudem wahre Geschichte.<p> So einen Vater kann sich jeder junge Mann nur wünschen! Von Verständnis, Toleranz und Geduld können sich viele eine Scheibe abschneiden, aber am Ende des Buches lernen wir alle: es lohnt sich so sehr. David Gilmour hat Liebe, Sorge und Bindung zu seinem Sohn aus Herz und Seele geschrieben, die Liebeserklärung eines Papas an seinen Filius, voller Eingeständnisse, Unsicherheiten, voller Abwägen und Grübeln: ist jeder Schritt, jede Entscheidung, ist alles Tun das richtige? „Was ist, wenn ich falsch liege?“ Wird alles ‚schon irgendwie klappen’ und ‚gut ausgehen’?<p> Die Filme, die dem Buch auch seinen Originaltitel „The Film Club“ geben, sind für Vater und Sohn Gelegenheit, miteinander im Gespräch zu bleiben, sich auszutauschen, „Zeit miteinander zu verbringen, Hunderte von Stunden“ und auf dem Umweg über Filmgeschichten ihre eigene weiter zu schreiben, den Faden nie abreissen zu lassen: Jesses Liebeskummer, Davids vorübergehende Arbeitslosigkeit, Jesses Zukunftsgedanken, Davids Erinnerungen. So erwacht langsam Interesse am anderen, aus dem Austausch wird neugieriges Zuhören und aus der Offenbarung von Schwächen und Fehlschlägen wird Vertrauen und Bindung.<p> Mit Kindern die Pubertät erleben, in der sie „genauso viel Zuwendung wie Neugeborene“ benötigen, das ist es nicht, was dieses Buch auszeichnet, es ist vielmehr die überaus sympathische, gradlinige und sehr ehrliche und arglose Art Gedanken zu Gefühle zu artikulieren, zwar Unsicherheiten angesichts eigener Entscheidungen zu haben, aber keine Ängste sie zu benennen. David weiß, dass man irgendwann „nicht mehr viel für seine Kinder tun  kann, „aber man hat immer noch diesen Impuls.“<p> Wer kein Filmkenner und Kinogänger ist, mag es zwischendurch ermüdend finden, die ausgiebigen Kommentare zu Filmen, Regisseuren oder Drehbüchern, zu Schauspielern oder Drehorten zu lesen, aber irgendwie fügt sich alles zu einem Ganzen: und außerdem: vielleicht steckt es ja den einen oder anderen an, das Leben einmal aus cineastischer Sicht zu sehen.<p> Jesse nimmt Filme und väterliche Weisheiten begierig und bereitwillig wie eine zweite Muttermilch auf, entdeckt sein Leben für sich und David fühlt, dass Kindererziehung „eine endlose Serie von Abschieden ist, einer nach dem anderen, Abschied von den Windeln, und dann von den Schneeanzügen und schließlich vom Kind selbst.“ Und letztlich dann auch von einem sehr, sehr liebenswerten und lebensklugen Buch<em>--Barbara Wegmann</em></p></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Rather than write yet another biography of Robespierre or another examination of Girondists or Jacobins, Francophile Richard Cobb chose to spend most of his career writing social histories of Revolutionary France.<p>  These essays are broadly representative of his work, focusing on <em>les petites gens</em>, their influence on the revolution, and the revolution's influence on them. Several pieces provide wonderfully detailed portraits of the individuals inside the masses--within the army, the <em>Sans-Culottes</em>, or simply the common people. In the final essay, Cobb recounts the melancholy testimony of unwed mothers making a <em>déclaration de grossesse</em> to identify their seducer, request a place in the foundling hospital for their unborn children, or both, and points out that, for them, the revolution is not nearly as important as their unwanted pregnancies.<p>  Though the lengthy quotations in French, usually without translations, may dismay the non-Francophone, detailed footnotes and a thorough index make this collection valuable to anyone interested in the French Revolution. <em>--C.B. Delaney</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In his first two novels David Gilmour took a candid look at romantic and carnal love.  With this newest work he makes a surprising departure and turns his attention to a different kind of love.<br/><br/>&quot;He was a bad dog that needed killing.&quot;  That's how the grisly death of Pascal Charleville was described to police after a weekend visit at the country estate of Harrow Winncup took a nasty turn.  Few people were surprised: Harrow had been courting tragedy for years.  He was a bright, beautiful boy with a penchant for strong booze and drugs; he also had the unfortunate fate of being the only son to a very wicked mother.<br/><br/>Also at the house that weekend was Christian Blackwood.  He and Harrow grew up together, went to Paris together, drank together, went out with girls together, and decided what to do with Pascal Charleville's body together.  <em>An Affair with the Moon</em> is ultimately the story of their relationship--and its astonishing aftermath.  It is a story of how one friend turned the others tragedy into his advantage; it is a story of friendship, but it is also a story of revenge.]]>

    <![CDATA[David braucht viel Kraft, als sein minderjähriger Sohn Jesse ihm offenbart, dass er die Schule schmeißen will. Ok, so der Papa, selbst Autor, Journalist und Filmkritiker, aber nur wenn Jesse sich die Zeit nimmt, mit ihm drei Filme pro Woche anzusehen. Übrigens: das Buch über David und Jesse ist nicht nur eine sehr warmherzige, sondern zudem wahre Geschichte.<p> So einen Vater kann sich jeder junge Mann nur wünschen! Von Verständnis, Toleranz und Geduld können sich viele eine Scheibe abschneiden, aber am Ende des Buches lernen wir alle: es lohnt sich so sehr. David Gilmour hat Liebe, Sorge und Bindung zu seinem Sohn aus Herz und Seele geschrieben, die Liebeserklärung eines Papas an seinen Filius, voller Eingeständnisse, Unsicherheiten, voller Abwägen und Grübeln: ist jeder Schritt, jede Entscheidung, ist alles Tun das richtige? „Was ist, wenn ich falsch liege?“ Wird alles ‚schon irgendwie klappen’ und ‚gut ausgehen’?<p> Die Filme, die dem Buch auch seinen Originaltitel „The Film Club“ geben, sind für Vater und Sohn Gelegenheit, miteinander im Gespräch zu bleiben, sich auszutauschen, „Zeit miteinander zu verbringen, Hunderte von Stunden“ und auf dem Umweg über Filmgeschichten ihre eigene weiter zu schreiben, den Faden nie abreissen zu lassen: Jesses Liebeskummer, Davids vorübergehende Arbeitslosigkeit, Jesses Zukunftsgedanken, Davids Erinnerungen. So erwacht langsam Interesse am anderen, aus dem Austausch wird neugieriges Zuhören und aus der Offenbarung von Schwächen und Fehlschlägen wird Vertrauen und Bindung.<p> Mit Kindern die Pubertät erleben, in der sie „genauso viel Zuwendung wie Neugeborene“ benötigen, das ist es nicht, was dieses Buch auszeichnet, es ist vielmehr die überaus sympathische, gradlinige und sehr ehrliche und arglose Art Gedanken zu Gefühle zu artikulieren, zwar Unsicherheiten angesichts eigener Entscheidungen zu haben, aber keine Ängste sie zu benennen. David weiß, dass man irgendwann „nicht mehr viel für seine Kinder tun  kann, „aber man hat immer noch diesen Impuls.“<p> Wer kein Filmkenner und Kinogänger ist, mag es zwischendurch ermüdend finden, die ausgiebigen Kommentare zu Filmen, Regisseuren oder Drehbüchern, zu Schauspielern oder Drehorten zu lesen, aber irgendwie fügt sich alles zu einem Ganzen: und außerdem: vielleicht steckt es ja den einen oder anderen an, das Leben einmal aus cineastischer Sicht zu sehen.<p> Jesse nimmt Filme und väterliche Weisheiten begierig und bereitwillig wie eine zweite Muttermilch auf, entdeckt sein Leben für sich und David fühlt, dass Kindererziehung „eine endlose Serie von Abschieden ist, einer nach dem anderen, Abschied von den Windeln, und dann von den Schneeanzügen und schließlich vom Kind selbst.“ Und letztlich dann auch von einem sehr, sehr liebenswerten und lebensklugen Buch<em>--Barbara Wegmann</em></p></p></p></p></p>]]>
