Requests:  0 Summary:  "At a chance encounter at a Berlin soirée in 1928, the photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captures three very different women together in one frame: up-and-coming German actress Marlene Dietrich, who would wend her way into Hollywood as one of its lasting icons; Anna May Wong, the world's first Chinese American star, playing for bit parts while dreaming of breaking away from her father's modest laundry; and Leni Riefenstahl, whose work as a director would first make her famous--then, infamous. From this curious point of intersection, Delayed Rays of a Star lets loose the trajectories of these women's lives. From Weimar Berlin to LA's Chinatown, from a seaside resort in East Germany to a luxury apartment on the Champs-Élysée, the different settings they inhabit are as richly textured as the roles they play: siren, muse, predator, or lover, each one a carefully calibrated performance. And in the orbit of each star live secondary players--a Chinese immigrant housemaid, a German soldier on leave from North Africa, a pompous Hollywood director--whose voices and viewpoints reveal the legacy each woman left in her own time, as well as in ours. Amanda Lee Koe's playful, wry prose guides the reader dexterously around murky questions of ego, persona, complicity, desire, and difference. Intimate and raw, Delayed Rays of a Star is a visceral depiction of womanhood--its particular hungers, its calculations, and its eventual betrayals--and announces a bold new literary voice"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Lee Koe   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Koe Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Lee Koe   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Lee Koe Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Lee Koe   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Lee Keo   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Koe   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Lee Koe   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Lee Koe   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Lee Koe   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
