1. Alison Lurie - Von Kindern Und Leuten / Only Children - LESELUST-Rezension
   Rezension von Daniela Ecker.  
   http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/lurie_alison_kinder.htm
   
   Extractions: Zwei Ehepaare und deren kleine Töchter fahren zur Lehrerin der Kinder aufs Land. In ein Haus, das noch ohne Luxus wie fließendes Wasser oder Strom auskommen muss. Eines der beiden Mädchen, Mary Ann, erzählt aus ihrer kindlich-naiven Sicht, wie dieses Wochenende gelaufen ist; auch wenn die Eltern der Meinung sind, alles Wesentliche von den Kindern fernzuhalten, spüren diese die Stimmungen sehr genau auf.

2. Alison Lurie - Affären / Foreign Affairs - LESELUST-Rezension
   Rezension von Daniela Ecker.  
   http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/lurie_alison_affaeren.htm
   
   Extractions: Ein halbes Jahr in London! Wie sehr Vinnie Miner sich darauf gefreut hat, ist vielleicht für Außenstehende nicht so leicht nachzuvollziehen; aber obwohl sie immer nur wenige Wochen am Stück in England verbringen konnte, betrachtet sie sich doch, dem Herzen nach, als Engländerin. Und speziell London ist die Stadt, die es ihr angetan hat, so abweisend sie auch auf den ersten Blick erscheinen mag. Nicht nur sie hat ein Stipendium für ein halbes Jahr erhalten; auch Fred Turner, ebenfalls Dozent an Vinnies Universität, darf hier für sein Buch forschen. Aber im Gegensatz zu ihr fühlt er sich nicht angenommen von dieser Stadt, ganz im Gegenteil: alles ist teuer, die Menschen schwer zugänglich, und ohnehin hatte er sich alles ganz anders vorgestellt. Zum Beispiel, dass er hier nicht alleine sein würde, sondern dass auch seine Frau mit ihm die Stadt entdecken würde; aber kurz vor der Abreise hatten sie sich getrennt, und nun stand er da, mit der viel zu großen Wohnung und den Kosten, die er eigentlich gar nicht begleichen konnte. Dass er der (ohnehin nur aus Mitleid mit seiner hungrigen Erscheinung) ausgesprochenen Einladung der ältlichen Vinnie Miner gefolgt war, lag nur an der Gelegenheit, sich endlich wieder kostenlos satt essen zu können. Aber dann - trifft er ausgerechnet auf dieser Party eine Schauspielerin, in die er sich sofort Hals über Kopf verliebt. Und obwohl er es sich überhaupt nicht leisten kann, umgarnt er die einige Jahre ältere Rosemary, bis er endlich zum allgemein tolerierten Mann an ihrer Seite wird.

   Italy The Best Travel Writing from the New York Times, Don't Tell the GrownUps The Subversive Power of Children's Literature, The Language of Clothes, Foreign Affairs, The Last  
   http://www.artistactoractress.com/author/l/lurie_alison.html
   
   Extractions: ASIN: Book Description Italy is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and this beautiful, useful volume is an ideal reminder for those who have been there and fallen in love with the country, as well as a book to stir the expectations of those who plan to travel there. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, this collection captures the local color of every remarkable corner of this richly diverse land-the clamor and vitality of Naples, the idyllic enchantment of Lago Maggiore, the intriguing cultural contradictions of Genova, the breathtaking (if terrifying) cliffside trails in Cinqueterre. Contributors include Oliver Bernier, Rachel Billington, Frank Bruni, Shirley Hazzard, Paul Hofmann, Alison Lurie, Malachi Martin, Alastair McEwen, Michael Mewshaw, Jan Morris, Francine Prose, Barry Unsworth, Muriel Spark, and William Weaver. Essays full of history, philosophical ruminations, humorous anecdotes, cultural musings, and useful travel information-in short the best of The New York Times talent-will make you want to drop everything and fly to this land that continues to inspire writers, artists, and casual visitors alike. AUTHOR BIO: Umberto Eco is the author of four novels as well as numerous works of criticism, philosophy, and literary theory. His fifth novel, The Mysterious Flame, will be published in June. He is professor of semiotics at the University of Bologna.

Professor of English at Cornell University since 1976. Her first novel, "Love and Friendship," was published in 1976. Lurie is the author of ten novels, including "Foreign Affairs," which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1985. Her most recent book is "The Last Resort," 1998. Three of Lurie's novels - "Foreign Affairs," " The War Between the Tates" and "Imaginary Friends" have been adapted for television. Alison Lurie is the older of two daughters of Harry and Bernice (Stewart) Lurie. Her father, Latvian-born, was a scholar and a teacher of social work. He became the founder and executive director of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. He and Bernice, a former journalist with the Detroit Free Press, were both socialists. The Luries moved to New York City when Alison was four. Soon afterward, they moved to the suburb of White Plains in Westchester County. She and her sister Jennifer attended mostly private schools. She briefly attended a public high school before entering a progressive preparatory school, Cherry Lawn School in Darien, Connecticut. She began to write at an early age and was praised for expressing creative and imaginative ability, "the only thing she had going for her." Alison was skinny, plain, odd-looking, and deaf in one ear from a birth injury with resulting atrophy of the facial muscles that by her own account, "pulled my mouth sideways whenever I opened it to speak and turned my smile into a sort of sneer."

19. Alison Lurie Publishes 10th Novel
    Article by Paul Cody in the Cornell Chronicle.  
    http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/98/7.23.98/Lurie.html
    
    Extractions: Retired but unretiring, Professor Alison Lurie publishes her 10th novel Alison Lurie signs copies of her books at the Cornell Campus Store in 1994. University Photography By Paul Cody "At three a.m. on a windy late-November night, Jenny Walker woke in her historic house in an historic New England town, and sensed from the slope of her mattress and the chill of the flowered percale sheets that Wilkie Walker, the world-famous writer and naturalist, was not in bed beside her." So begins Cornell English Professor Alison Lurie's most recent novel, The Last Resort (Henry Holt, 1998), her first novel in a decade and the 10th of her career. In a single opening sentence deft, graceful, subtle, packed with meaning Lurie puts the world of her novel, its terms and stakes, into rapid motion. A chilly marriage bed, an absent husband, a worried wife, set in a historic house and town, on decorous flowered sheets, late in the year, just before winter. Let the high Lurie comedy begin. "It's been much too long since Lurie's last novel," said
