Set in the 1970s, We Eat Our Own follows a struggling, unnamed actor as he travels from New York City to a remote village in the Amazon rain forest, where he joins the cast of a pulp Italian horror film. Wilson's debut novel, We Eat Our Own, is scheduled for publication on September 6 by Scribner. 'This book was in my brain for a good 10 years before I started writing it, long before I ever thought I would write a book,' said Kea Wilson, bookseller and events coordinator at Left Bank Books in St. As such, they became potent emblems of nostalgia, binding up (although they had no bindings) wistful longing for the beloved bibliographic companions of years gone by,' the Times wrote.

The Times noted that at her death, Ward 'had been at work for a half-century on a biography of Blake.'Īrtist Steve Wolfe, whose 'preferred subject matter was books, singly and by the boxful, their creased, age-stained, sometimes Scotch-taped covers exuding companionable familiarity,' died last month, the New York Times reported.

Ward spent nine years researching John Keats: The Making of a Poet, which was praised by the NBA administrators as a 'searching and perceptive reappraisal of a major literary figure' and an 'honest, moving, and beautifully balanced work-a truly distinguished portrait.' Her book also won the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize in Britain, making her both the first American and the first woman to win that prize. Aileen Ward, the author and scholar 'whose sympathetic, insightful biography of the Romantic poet John Keats won a National Book Award in 1964,' died May 31, the New York Times reported.
