Matt Cohen Getting Lucky
Alfred A. Knopf Canada 2000 0676972462 / 9780676972467 Hardcover Like New
"clean, tight, unmarked, some light cover edge handling,() Published after his death in 1999, this remarkable collection of 10 stories sparkles with Matt Cohen's innate ability to give voice to the most poignant and painful depths of the human condition. Here are exotic and erotic stories of desire and failure, coping with living and being afraid of dying, failing to live up to youthful promise and being trapped within the confines of middle-aged predictability. The stories are at the same time filled to the brim with wonderful comic writing ranging from a sly, dry wit to outlandish slapstick. Cohen lassoes the reader into these sometimes unsettling, romantic, ironic, and always-delicious tales, which take readers on imaginative voyages from Paris to Moscow, from Guatemala to small-town Ontario. From a surreal encounter with the Russian novelist Dostoyevsky to the muddled aftermath of ID: mon0000101806"

Matt Cohen Last Seen
Knopf Canada 1996 0394281683 / 9780394281681 Unknown Binding Like New
"Hardcover with dust jacket, Like New, clean, tight, unmarked, 1st Edition() How deep is a brother's love? In his quirky ghost story, Last Seen, Matt Cohen tests the limits of sibling affection. Alec is a happily married writer with two kids and a university job when his younger brother, Harold, the family golden boy, dies of cancer at 37. Harold's protracted illness and untimely death hurl Alec into a Scotch-induced fog of guilt, self-pity, and desire that culminates in a series of encounters with Harold's cancer-racked spirit in an ethereal tavern for Elvis impersonators, Club Elvis. Complicating Alec's grief over the loss of his only brother is his consuming lust for Francine, the golden-haired angel who nursed Harold in his final days and who slept with them both years before (but cared more for Harold). At Club Elvis the three of them sit together in a smoke-filled limbo where nothing gets resolved, an apt image for Alec's paralytic emotional state. In this fragmentary tale ID: mon0000001391"

Matt Cohen Lives of the Mind Slaves
Porcupine's Quill 1994 088984139X / 9780889841390 Paperback Like New
"Trade Paperback, Like New, no spine or cover creases, clean,tight, unmarked, 5 1/2 x 9, 191 pgs. 1st Edition() Matt Cohen’s stories have been widely anthologized and have appeared in distinguished periodicals and journals in Canada, Britain and the United States. Lives of the Mind Slaves features 7 short stories — one of which (‘Trotsky’s First Confessions’) was written especially for this book — and a brilliant novella. Cohen’s novella, ‘Golden Whore of the Heartland‘, explores the conflict between the spontaneity of passion — a chance affair — and the comfort of commitment and belonging. ‘The Sins of Tomas Benares’ explores the theme of love over generations. ’Café Le Dog’ is a celebration of all that remains inexplicable in the attractions between men and women. ‘Racial Memories’ is vintage Cohen — a story about a not-so-classic Jewish family. Lives of the Mind Slaves contains the best of Cohen’s two previous short story collections, Café Le Dog and Living on Water. ID: mon0000010736"

Matt Cohen Nadine
"Crown Publishers, Inc." 1987 0517565609 / 9780517565605 Hardcover Very Good
"Some edge rubbing to the dust jacket. () Jumping back and forth over four decades with settings in Paris, Toronto, England, and Jerusalem, this novel blends storytelling with a dash of science and philosophy. It centers around its narrator, Nadine Santangel, orphaned when her parents are sent to concentration camps shortly after her birth in Paris in 1941. She becomes an astronomy student and teacher in Canada, but she is haunted by what happened during her early years. Wielding a not always benign influence are a half-uncle, Stefan, and a fellow student, D.B. Miller. Nadine relates events as encountered and as told to her, adding her interpretations. Although the story is not always compelling, some characterizations are oddly fascinating, and the reader can identify with Nadine's efforts to fit all the influences and incidents of her life into an understandable whole.

Matt Cohen The sweet second summer of Kitty Malone
McClelland and Stewart 1979 0771022212 / 9780771022210 Hardcover Very Good
"Price clipped dust jacket. Some discoloring and rubbing to the dust jacket.() The Second Sweet Summer of Kitty Malone, the third of Matt Cohen's Salem Quartet novels, is a remarkable love story. Kitty Malone and Pat Frank have been lovers, drinking buddies, and sparring partners for over 20 years. In fact, with the exception of a brief stint in Toronto that ended in a totally disastrous marriage, Pat Frank has been the one constant in Kitty's life. Kitty's 40 and terrified that she's got cancer. Pat's now a 49-year-old confirmed alcoholic. Together they reflect on their shared experiences, the shadows of mortality that are creeping up on them, and their love for one another. Love comes at just the right moment, renewing their faith in each other and in the human condition. Cohen's lyrical evocation of the farm country of southeastern Ontario, focusing on the fictional town of Salem, adds to the rich texture of this moving novel.

Matt Cohen Typing: A Life in Twenty-Six Keys
Random House Canada 2000 0679310509 / 9780679310501 Hardcover Very Good
"some edge rubbing to the dust jacket.() Matt Cohen left us all a gift when he decided, in the last six months of his life, to write a memoir. Typing is an invaluable and touching reckoning of the writing life, funny in many places, brilliant in others. It's also the story of the flourishing of writing in Canada: Cohen was at the centre of our country's cultural life for over three decades. He was one of the founders of the Writers' Union: he was the brains behind many initiatives, including the successful lobbying for the public lending right: he was a translator of Quebec writers into English. After his death, it became clear that Cohen was a touchstone for many writers and readers in this country, at the same time as he was a dedicated outsider, a Jewish intellectual moving through a WASPish cultural woods. Typing includes rare and wonderful portraits of George Grant, Hugh Garner, Morley Callaghan and Margaret Laurence, writers who came ahead of him and who posed their own puzzl ID: mon0000101846"
