  Phineas Donovan is possessed of a sharp intellect. Fresh from Cambridge, he obtains a generous live-in position as tutor for the son of the wealthy Lord Bettencourt. If he can prove his value, he has hopes of being given the patronage of his employer, allowing him to take up a position as vicar. There, he can pursue his intellectual endeavors in peace and relative financial comfort. In her humble but informed opinion, Lady Sarah Danneville is possessed of an even sharper intellect. If anyone should be tutoring her younger brother, it is she, not the reserved, bespectacled gentleman her father has employed to do the job. He is not fit to instruct a Danneville of Bettencourt. But as Sarah works to undermine him, Mr. Donovan shows more pluck than she expects, not to mention that he harbors a secret hobby that would be laughable if it weren’t so dreadfully unsophisticated. If she can use this secret against him, she can finally persuade her father she is more than bait to lure a prosperous match. Now, if only she can avoid being drawn into the dearth of sophistication—and Mr. Donovan’s eyes—herself. Battling the Bluestocking is the third in Martha Keyes's The Donovans regency-set romance series. Each book can be treated as a standalone.

  “Reading Roberto Bolaño is like . . . watching the tracks of art and life merge at the horizon and linger there like a dream from which we awake inspired to look more attentively at the world.” —Francine Prose, The New York Times“We savor all he has written, as every offering is a portal into the elaborate terrain of his genius.” —Patti SmithAn aging judge retires from Buenos Aires to the family ranch in the Pampas to battle feral rabbits and reclaim the dignity of the gaucho life. An obscure Argentinian writer journeys to Paris to face down the filmmaker who has made a career out of plagiarizing his novels. An intrepid detective investigates a series of grisly murders—among his fellow sewer rats. Riffing on Borges and Kafka, yet utterly and inimitably Roberto Bolaño, these stories testify to his mastery of the short form. Rounding out the collection are two of his most provocative and piercing essays, “Literature + Illness = Illness” and “The Myths of Cthulhu,” each crackling with his signature black humor and incomparable powers of perception and critique. The Insufferable Gaucho is an essential part of the Bolaño oeuvre.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
