"Riveting ...vibrant and unsparing." --Publishers Weekly (starred
and boxed review) "Superb...Startlingly original." --Library
Journal (starred review) "Once I started reading these stories, I
couldn't stop. They absorbed me thoroughly, with their taut
narratives and evocative language--the language of a poet." --JAY
PARINI, author of Jesus: The Human Face of God and The Last Station
"Sherwood Anderson would recognize this world of lonely, longing
characters, whose surface lives Coffey tenderly plumbs. These
beautiful stories--spare, rich, wise and compelling--go to the
heart." --FREDERIC TUTEN, author of Self Portraits: Fictions and
Tintin in the New World "Whether [Coffey is] writing about a
sinning priest or a man who's made a career out of branding or
about himself, we can smell Coffey's protagonists and feel their
breath on our cheek. Like Chekhov, he must be a notebook writer;
how else to explain the strange quirks and the perfect but
unaccountable details that animate these intimate portraits?"
--EDMUND WHITE, author of Inside a Pearl and A Boy's Own Story
Among these eight stories, a fan of writer (and fellow adoptee)
Harold Brodkey gains an audience with him at his life's end, two
pals take a Joycean sojourn, a man whose business is naming things
meets a woman who may not be what she seems, and a father discovers
his son is a suspect in an assassination attempt on the president.
In each tale, Michael Coffey's exquisite attention to character
underlies the brutally honest perspectives of his disenchanted
fathers, damaged sons, and orphans left feeling perpetually
disconnected. Michael Coffey is the author of three books of poems
and 27 Men Out, a book about baseball's perfect games. He also
co-edited The Irish in America, a book about Irish immigration to
America, which was a companion volume to a PBS documentary series.
He divides his time between Manhattan and Bolton Landing, New York.
The Business of Naming Things is his first work of fiction.
This handbook addresses an important omission in the current
financial environment: the lack of a broader, strategic
understanding of the possible roles of Employee Stock Ownership
Plans, or ESOPs, as a tool for managing a variety of issues facing
banks. Banks proportionately make more use of ESOPs than any other
industrial classification in the U.S., often without understanding
the extent of their potential applications. While an ESOP is not
suitable in all circumstances, an ESOP may provide assistance in
resolving the following issues, either by itself or in conjunction
with other elements of a well-rounded strategic plan: - Augmenting
capital, particularly for profitable institutions facing limited
access to external capital. - Facilitating stock purchases by
creating an "internal" stock market. - Providing employee benefits
to reward employees that add to the institution's long-term value.
This handbook describes the function of ESOPs in the real world of
banks and bank holding companies. Bank directors and managers can
use the information in this handbook to make solid, initial
decisions regarding the potential merits of an ESOP. Before
embarking on a particular strategy to deal with the manifold
challenges facing small- to mid-size banks, the decision makers in
profitable institutions may wish to consider how an ESOP can assist
in addressing issues such as shareholder liquidity, employee
ownership and compensation, and capital management.
Now in paperback, Michael Coffey's wonderful book about baseball's
holy grail, the perfect game: "The best baseball book of
the...season" (Booklist). There have been only fifteen perfect
games pitched in the modern era of baseball: The great Cy Young
fittingly hurled the first one, in 1904, and Randy Johnson pitched
the last one, in May 2004. In between, some great and famous
pitchers--Sandy Koufax, Catfish Hunter, Jim Bunning, and Don
Larsen--performed the feat, as did those lesser-known, like Charlie
Robertson and Len Barker. Fifteen in 160,000 games: The odds are
staggering. In 27 Men Out, popular historian Michael Coffey offers
an expansive look at these unsurpassable pitching performances.
Here you'll find play-by-play accounts of each of the fifteen
perfect games and expert assessments of those who pitched them.
Along the way, Coffey goes beyond the box scores to provide
fascinating details about how these games unfolded, as well as
compelling anecdotes about all of the key players--from Koufax's
controversial holdout with Don Drysdale to Mike Witt's
victimization by the baseball commissioner to Dennis Martinez's
struggle up from an impoverished Nicaraguan childhood. A must-have
for baseball fans, historians, and statisticians alike, 27 Men Out
is an exciting new benchmark in sports literature.
From the assassination of the Archduke, through Hitler's rise and
demise, to Saddam Hussein's doomed invasion of Kuwait -- Military
Blunders is a blow-by-blow account of this century's most ill-fated
military events. What were they and why did they happen?

Seneca's Phaedra occupies an important and influential position in the tradition of European drama. This new edition concentrates on the play's dramatic qualities, examining its Greek and Roman background. The introduction presents discussion of dramaturgy and rhetoric as well as style and textual transmission. An unusual feature is the tracing of the influence of Phaedra's story on later European literature and music. The commentary has extensive notes not only on Seneca's language, but also on plot, characterization, and the use of myth.
