Forthcoming Titles
Preparations for Search by Joseph McElroy
What if the private detective you might pay to find someone long gone thinks to hire you, or money lent for him gets spent on home improvement; or if relations among a group of friends and lovers go on not so much too long as in new angles to exchange poignant energies even of ending? Is it literally some chemistry we’re in or motion with its partial randomness?
First published in Formations in 1984, and originally a late section of McElroy’s 1987 novel Women and Men but withdrawn just before publication, Preparations for Search by Joseph McElroy stands alone now in 2010 as a small book with the open boundaries of a short novella.
Joseph McElroy was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1930. He was educated at Williams College and Columbia University. He is the author of nine novels, including A Smuggler’s Bible , Hind’s Kidnap, Ancient History: A Paraphase, Lookout Cartridge, Plus, Women and Men, The Letter Left to Me, Actress in the House, and Cannonball (forthcoming). Also forthcoming, Night Soul and Other Stories (Dalkey Archive Press, Fall 2010). He received the Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and fellowships from the Guggenheim, Rockefeller, and Ingram Merrill Foundations, and the National Endowment for the Arts. He is Professor Emeritus from Queens College, CUNY, and among other universities has taught at Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Temple, NYU, Northwestern, and the University of Paris. He is completing a non-fiction book about water.
Preparations for Search is forthcoming July 2010 and is available for presale in The Bookstore
