A Fine Kind of Madness
* Written by Guy Waterman, one of the Northeast's most highly respected outdoor writers * Blend of imaginative fiction and nonfiction offers an alternative to today's personality-centered climbing writing * Guy Waterman's last work In this standout collection of the writings Guy Waterman and Laura Waterman readers will discover a rich blend of outdoor adventures great and small. Some fiction, some nonfiction, all these stories explore the basic impulse to climb, its roots, and the underlying drives of remarkable individual climbers. One story, a fictionalized letter exchange between two ambitious female climbers of the Victorian Era-Fanny Bullock Workman and Annie Peck-captures the competitive spirit between them. The true story A Night in Odell Gully demonstrates that serious climbers know, better than almost anyone else in our sheltered modern life, what death and dying means. This collection is certain to be a touchstone for all who are drawn to the mountains.Only the weak fear criticism.
Half & Half- -Plays & Prose
"Irving Leitner ́s Half & Half adds up to a fascinating whole. It is a wonderful reading trip. Leitner ́s short stories are succinct, taut and startling. I ́d add his name to Poe, O ́Henry and Dahl. His plays are skillfully wrought and dramatically alive. All in all, Half & Half is a cornucopia of riches." -- Eli Wallach, Distinguished stage, screen and TV actor "What a remarkable piece of work! The plays and prose are stunning in their impact. Irving Leitner has a magical eye for capturing significant detail in both dramatic and narrative form. Half & Half is a truly gripping achievement. I cannot recall a more compelling reading experience." -- Fritz Weaver, Distinguished stage, screen and TV actor
