Passionate Spectator
Autor Eric Kraften Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2005
In "Passionate Spectator," memoirist Peter Leroy and his wife Albertine are living by the skin of their teeth in Manhattan. Casting about for a source of income, Peter purchases a book from a homeless peddler, "Creative Self-Promotion for Taxidermists," hoping he can adapt its techniques to promote his fledgling business: Memoirs While You Wait. That book opens into a beguiling journey from fiction to truth and back again, involving Peter, his childhood friend Matthew Barber (who is undergoing emergency heart surgery), and Peter's witty, urbane alter-ego, Bertram W. Beath--an erotic opportunist and "passionate spectator"of life's pageant.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Eric Kraft grew up in Babylon, New York, on the South Shore of Long Island, where he was for a time co-owner and co-captain of a clam boat, which sank.
He met or invented the character Peter Leroy while dozing over a German lesson during his first year at Harvard.
The following year, he married his muse, Madeline Canning; they have two sons.
After earning a Master's Degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Kraft taught school in the Boston area for a while, moonlighting as a rock music critic for the Boston Phoenix.
Since then, he has spent a part of every day writing the voluminous work of fiction that he calls The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences & Observations of Peter Leroy.
It has received widespread critical acclaim in the United States and internationally.
Three of the volumes were named New York Times Notable Books of the Year.
Kraft has been the recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts; was, briefly, chairman of PEN New England; and has been awarded the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature.
