Walk through walls : a memoir / by Abramović, Marina,author.(CARDINAL)286254; Kaplan, James,1951-author.(CARDINAL)765923;
The child of Communist war-hero parents under Tito's regime in postwar Yugoslavia, Marina Abramović was raised with a relentless work ethic. Even as she was beginning to build an international artistic career, she lived at home under her mother's abusive control, strictly obeying a 10 p.m. curfew. But nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity, her desire to connect with people, or her distinctly Balkan sense of humor -- all of which informs her art and her life. Marina's story, by turns moving, epic, and dryly funny, is a vivid and powerful rendering of the unparalleled life of an extraordinary artist--

Close-up. by Gruen, John.(CARDINAL)142304;
TABLE OF CONTENTS -- Movies -- Federico Fellini -- Alain Resnais -- Joseph Losey -- Ruby Keeler, Busby Berkeley -- Vivian Leigh, Simone Signoret -- Mario Montez -- Candice Bergen -- Bette Davis -- Judy Garland -- Theater -- Shelley Winters -- Samuel Beckett -- Arnold Weinstein -- Arthur Miller -- Betty Comden, Adolph Green -- Barbara Harris -- George S.

You'll discover that Candice Bergen plans to retire at twenty-five, Bette Davis plans to go on forever, Judy Garland has financial problems, Barbara Harris improvises interviews, George S. Kaufman had a huge assortment of mistresses, Robert Rauschenberg is painting in the dark, Charles Addams is a nice guy, and Leonard Bernstein is puzzled by his critics. There are candid postscripts to almost every piece and the author isn't afraid to be cheeky (he hated Alain Resnais ... was almost sued by Kaufman's daughter). Close-up--intimate and interesting (from Kirkus Reviews).

Death watch : a novel / by Fitch, Stona,author.(CARDINAL)365471;
"Coe Vessel, son of a legendary adman, lands the much-anticipated ad campaign of artist-provocateur Watanabe's latest creation, a mysterious watch called Cassius Seven. The enigmatic Watanabe claims the watch can kill its wearer. Convinced it's a high-art hoax, Coe and his team of renegade creatives work furiously to land the campaign and persuade the world that the watch (rebranded as Death Watch) is the must-have accessory for end-time capitalism. Thanks to the team's inventive launch, Death Watch finds eager buyers among the brazenly cocky, thoroughly disillusioned, and silently suicidal. Death Watch soon becomes a cultural phenomenon, harbinger of a new nihilism, and a target for moral outrage. Exactly what Watanabe envisioned. But his hoax turns horrific when the watches start going off, killing their wearers. Appalled, Coe and his team reverse course and work feverishly to alert would-be customers. But can they stop the juggernaut they set in motion?"--"The glimmering case of Death Watch hides a terrible secret--at any moment, seven knives might emerge, ready to kill. By risking death, Death Watch can inspire deeper appreciation of life. But who would create such a dangerous, absurd watch? Who would sell it? Who would strap it to their wrist? Would you?"--
