The Street Called Straight
Discover the captivating journey of redemption and self-discovery in "The Street Called Straight" by Basil King, a powerful story about the trials of human existence and the search for truth.This novel follows the life of a man struggling to overcome the limitations of his past and to walk the metaphorical "straight path" toward redemption. As he encounters moral dilemmas and difficult choices, his journey becomes a reflection of the complexities of modern life and the desire for moral clarity. The street itself becomes a potent symbol in the novel, representing the struggle between temptation and righteousness, and the pursuit of a life aligned with higher principles. With rich themes of personal growth, redemption, and faith, King invites readers to ponder their own life's journey and the choices that define it. With beautifully drawn characters and thoughtful exploration of ethical and spiritual struggles, "The Street Called Straight" is both a compelling read and a thought-provoking meditation on the human condition. This novel resonates with readers seeking a deeper understanding of life's moral complexities and the pursuit of a meaningful path.
77 Beasts
Poetry. The poet and painter Basil King takes the medieval genre of the beastiary, a collection of short writings about exotic animal species, and reconceives it as a way of engaging with a particularly fascinating human species, creating verbal and pictorial portraits of painters, from Winslow Homer to Edward Hopper. Introducer Andrew Crozier explains, "This is more a matter of affinity than of scale: an aardvark will be of more interest to another aardvark, a zebra of more interest to another zebra, than either is to me. The painter Basil King finds other painters interesting, also peculiar and exotic, not to mention obsessive, grandiose, even foolish. He pursues and collects them and the works for which they're known." Also check out King's other two recent works, Mirage: a Poem in 22 Sections and Learning to Draw/a History: Twin Towers.

Max Sees Red
"Max, a marginally successful painter in New York's SoHo in the late1970s is drawn into a quest to unravel the arson-murder of Shirley, a literary editor, in order to extricate one of his oldest friends, a novelist whose hysteria has made him a prime suspect. As Max finds himself entangled in the poignant fate of Shirley's orphaned mixed-race child and the deceits, manipulations, and misjudgments of characters ranging from old junkies to newly rich patrons, from lesbian mothers to psychotic con men, from displaced rural working people to the denizens of mainstream publishing. Readers get a vivid picture of the shifting environment of the late 1970s: the action moves among SoHo bars, lofts, and galleries, and the counties just north of New York's suburbia--impoverished small towns and abandoned farms--where ex-pat art types are beginning to settle, clashing with the rural poor, elite establishment landowners, and a shadow neo-Nazi subculture" --
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
New York City girl Claudia, a mere month shy of being a twelve-year-old, has resolved to run away from home with her younger brother, Jamie. She knows that she could never pull off the classic spur-of-the-moment departure without a destination (inevitably involving having to eat outside with the insects, and cupcakes melting in the sun); so she plans everything to perfection, including their destination: the grand, elegant, beautiful, all-encompassing Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, no sooner have Claudia and Jamie settled into their new home, than they are caught up in the mystery of an angel statue bought by the museum for the bargain price of $225. Is it in fact an as yet undiscovered work by Michelangelo, worth millions? Claudia is determined to find out, and her quest leads her to the remarkable, secretive Mrs. Frankweiler, who sold the statue to the museum - and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself. Since its first appearance nearly 50 years ago, The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler has gained a place in the hearts of generations of readers - and has rightly become one of the most celebrated and beloved children's books of all time.
The Letter of the Contract - Basil King
A passage from the book... It was strange to think that if, on finishing her coffee in her room, she had looked in on the children, as she generally did, instead of going down to the drawing-room to write a note, her whole life might have been different. "Why didn't I?" was the question she often asked herself in the succeeding years, only to follow it with the reflection: "But perhaps it would have happened in any case. Since the fact was there, I must have come to know it-in the long run."The note was an unimportant one. She could have sent it by a servant at any minute of the day. The very needlessness of writing it2 at once, so that her husband could post it as he went to his office, gav...
