    <![CDATA[Set in Thomas Farber's Berkeley cottage, Brief Nudity's nonfiction narratives move across three decades, appraising the meaning of both home and the impulse to put one's house in order. Taking the measure of aging, desire, and memory in an inevitably finite life for and by art, Brief Nudity also illuminates the very human effort to devine--or deny-- one's true story.]]>

    <![CDATA[In the words of Isabel Allende, 'Here is a poet who writes with economy and precise beauty of desire, love, and the irrevocable loneliness of the heart.' In his first novel since the highly acclaimed Curves of Pursuit, Thomas Farber has created his own language of love, in this rapturous evocation of an obsessive and erotic relationship. He is a writer, middle-aged, thoughtful, long engaged in a project that involves observing and describing the female form. She is young, married, and beautiful, an art historian who wants to write. The writer recounts an increasingly charged series of trysts in which he and the young woman create a heady other-world where there are no husbands and no limits. No longer merely subjects for conversation, the passions shared by the writer and the young woman-for art, storytelling, and experience-fuel a transgressive vision of love that cannot, in the end, compete with the demands of the ordered world, and someone must lose.]]>

    <![CDATA[Thomas Farber's works of fiction, creative nonfiction, and the epigrammatic reveal him as a writer charting the voyage of his generation with luminous, scrupulous integrity. Anatomist, ironist, and moralist, he achieves large effects with deceptively simple means. Such elegant economy, unsentimental but deeply compassionate, compels us to recognize these lives-in and out of love-as our own. The stories selected here, with an introduction by the author, are from Who Wrote the Book of Love? (1977), Hazards to the Human Heart (1980), and Learning to Love It (1993).]]>
