Explore this item.
New York. Farrar, Straus. May 1, 1994. 241 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy with no dust jacket. Poor Robert. A young painter, he's invited to the country by his new love, Lyle, a middle-aged art critic and a bit of a prig. They are off to stay with the useless John and the unappealing Marian, a rich married couple and Lyle's best friends. Their house is also where Lyle's lover Tony died, exactly one year ago, as we creepily learn. And not only was Tony Lyle's lover, he was also John's half-brother. Get off the train!, you want to yell to Robert. But by the time all the pieces are in place it's too late, and the beautifully controlled horror of the novel has begun. Tensions develop rapidly on all fronts: between the generations, between the new lovers, between the past and the present, between those with hope and those without. And just when you think that the story of this weekend is all memory and conversation, things start to happen. This brief novel confirms what readers of Far-Flung Stories (LJ 9/15/91) and Leap Year (LJ 3/1/90) have long suspected: Cameron is one of our very best writers. For all fiction collections.

Made by Cartier. 150 years of tradition and innovation.
New York. Abbeville Press. 1993. 254 pps. 4to. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy in fine dust jacket. Co-author: Ettore Mocchetti The Cartier firm, which opened its first shop in Paris in 1847 and later expanded to London and New York City, is synonymous with luxury jewelry. Yet Carier has always sold functional objects as well that blend practicality and elegance. Opera glasses, a heart-shaped gold belt buckle, cigarette lighters, fountain pens and watches are among the items showcased in this glitzy survey with 221 photos, 190 in color. Cologni, vice-chairman of Cartier International, and Mocchetti, art director of Giorgio Mondadori publishers, draw on company archives to show how Cartier designers have responded to changing tastes and fashions, absorbing such influences as Japanese art, African fabrics and carvings, the costumed dances of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and art deco.
