As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child & Avis DeVotoby Joan Reardon
Available through February 07 at
Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
DESCRIPTION:
This revealing correspondence between the legendary French chef Julia Child and her dear friend is “a delicious read” (People).
With her outsize personality, Julia Child is known by her first name alone. But how much do we really know of the inner Julia? Now more than 200 letters exchanged between Julia and Avis DeVoto, her friend and unofficial literary agent memorably introduced in the hit movie Julie & Julia, open the window on her deepest thoughts and feelings.
This riveting correspondence chronicles the blossoming of a unique and lifelong friendship between the two women and the turbulent process of Julia’s creation of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, one of the most influential cookbooks ever written. Bawdy, funny, exuberant, and occasionally agonized, these letters show Julia, first as a new bride in Paris, then becoming increasingly worldly and adventuresome as she follows her diplomat husband in his postings to Nice, Germany, and Norway. With commentary by food historian Joan Reardon, and covering topics as diverse as the lack of good wine in the United States, McCarthyism, and sexual mores, these letters show America on the verge of political, social, and gastronomic transformation.
“An absorbing portrait of an unexpected friendship.”–Entertainment Weekly
“Two housewives, each in her 40s … let rip about all kinds of things, from shallots, beurre blanc and the misery of dried herbs to politics, aging and sex … Funny and forthright opinions about food and life.”–The New York Times
“Entirely irresistible.”–The Boston Globe

DESCRIPTION:
He said I couldn’t do it, but he was wrong.
An old professor at UCLA promised me that I would make nothing of myself, so I made sure I did.
To the tune of billions. I’m only a little cocky about it.
Yachts, parties, and one-night events pretty much spell out my life.
And all of it works well until I run into a beauty I can’t get out of my head.
But we’re keeping it friendly and casual until we aren’t.
There’s just one problem. Her old man hates me.
And for good reason. He was my UCLA professor.
He’s dead set against me becoming anything important to his little girl, but the old man’s got it all backward.
I’m not looking to make an example out of our passion or prove a point.
This isn’t about hit it and quit it.
His daughter is mine, and he might kick me out, but she’s letting me all the way in.
This is book 1 in a 3 book series. You will have to read books 2 and 3 to complete the story.

It’s the summer of 1953. Calvin Jefferson Coolidge is thirteen years old when the ghost of Joseph Stalin appears to him in his Aunt Evelyn’s cluttered Cleveland attic and wants to dictate his memoirs to him.
“I want to tell my side of the story,” Uncle Joe tells him. “They’re giving me one year to set the record straight, so we need to get started right away.”
Calvin’s life is falling apart at the seams. He’s a misfit and loner whose only friends are famous dead people. He loves polka music and Westerns and sometimes wonders what it would be like to kiss a girl. His con man father is in Florida looking for his bipolar runaway mother. His cousin Buck is abducted and experimented on by aliens. The lady next door wants to coach him in the ways of love. His pastor thinks he’s headed straight for Hell. His English teacher thinks he’s a savant. The school psychologist wants to have him committed. His shrink thinks he’s just plain nuts. Sometimes, Calvin believes it too.
Everybody’s trying to figure out what makes Calvin tick in this quirky, fast-paced metaphysical romp through the heart and soul of 1950’s America.
