About this product
Product Information
Asher's career as a Hollywood screenwriter has come to a humiliating end; so has his latest marriage. Returning to New York, where he grew up, he takes a room at a hotel and wonders what, well into middle age as he is, he should do next. It's not a question of money; it's a question of purpose, maybe of pride. In the company of an arch young poet, Michael, Asher revisits the streets and tenements of the Lower East Side where he spent his childhood, though little remains of THE past. Michael introduces him to Aurora, perhaps his girlfriend, who, to Asher's surprise, seems bent on pursuing him, too. Soon the older man and his edgy young companions are caught up in a slow, strange, almost ritualized dance of deceit and desire. The End of Me, a successor to In Love and Her Face for the World to See, can be seen as the final panel of a triptych in which Alfred Hayes anatomizes, with a cool precision and laconic lyricism that are all his own, the failure of modern love. The last scene is the starkest of all.

Reviews
"His novels perfectly capture the texture of midcentury American life. There's nothing obsolete in Hayes's writing. His work must come back to us in all its brutal honesty." --Alex Harvey, Los Angeles Review of Books "[Alfred Hayes] gives you an amazingly precise representation of what the world looks like if there's no love in it." --Rachel Cusk "This author's is a truly formidable and terrifying talent. He has a merciless insight into human behaviour and he writes with extreme compression and great directness." --Walter Allen, New Statesman "What sets him apart . . . is his feeling for words and his sense of how to make them count." --Malcolm Cowley, The New York Times "In his own manner Alfred Hayes makes his every note ring clear and true." -- Saturday Review "Alfred Hayes writes with grace and facility . . . A master of contemporary fiction." -- New York Herald Tribune Book Review "One very quiet touch from Mr. Hayes can convey more pain than any quantity of huffing and puffing from more insistent but less accomplished writers." -- Times Literary Supplement

Fabulous book about how beavers restore habitat. Combines scientific knowledge with human interest stories about some of the key players who have championed returning beavers to the wild to manage flooding and drought while bringing back wildlife. I enjoyed it tremendously.
