The Skating Pond $10.99 With a grace and intensity reminiscent of Elizabeth Smart or William Maxwell ( So Long, See You Tomorrow ), comes a long-awaited second novel of both exquisite pain and extraordinary beauty, by the award-winning author of Losing Eddie . Nearly supernatural in reach, The Skating Pond is a treasurehouse of emotion: the narrator, Elizabeth, is a headstrong, half-wild girl whose story, set on the rough coast of rural Maine, is hewn from terrible family tragedy and intense sexual passion. Orphaned at the age of 15, when her mother dies as a result of a skating accident and her father kills himself after abandoning the family, Elizabeth is left to raise herself. She becomes embroiled in an affair of such ferocity and ardor that she remains haunted by her much older and sometimes cruel lover, even after he has left her. From the Hardcover edition. |

Skating on Air $40 Of all winter sports, none is so widely watched and commented upon by the media as figure skating, which is often considered the Winter Olympics' centerpiece. This critical text examines the ways in which media attention has gradually altered and affected the sport, from the early appearances of Sonja Henie, to skating's gradual audience growth via television, and to the ramifications of the scandals in the 1994 and 2002 Olympics. The topic is illuminated by more than 30 interviews with commentators, skaters, producers, directors and others. In addition to numerous photos, illustrations show the compulsory figures for which "figure skating" got its name, as well as a sample of the charted-out "camera blocking" for TV directors. Appendices include collected anecdotes from early broadcasting experiences; a profile of broadcaster Jim McKay; and commentary from Carol Heiss on her 1961 musical Snow White and the Three Stooges. |
