A Handbook on Hanging
A Handbook on Hanging is a Swiftian tribute to that unappreciated mainstay of civilization: the hangman. With barbed insouciance, Charles Duff writes not only of hanging but of electrocution, decapitations, and gassings; of innocent men executed and of executions botched; of the bloodlust of mobs and the shabby excuses of the great. This coruscating and, in contemporary America, very relevant polemic makes clear that whatever else capital punishment may be said to be--justice, vengeance, a deterrent--it is certainly killing.
The North Atlantic Cities
The North Atlantic Cities by Charles B. Duff, which is available for the first time in the United States, is a book on urban development and urban life masquerading as a book on architecture. It is the story of four hundred years of architecture and urban development in four countries: the Netherlands, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States, particularly cities like New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, Savannah, to name a few. The author starts with a kind of building few others have considered--the row house--which could very well be the key to understanding why many of the world's great cities look and function as they do. From the 1600s to today as the author theorizes, this innocuous-seeming housing type is perhaps the antidote to suburban sprawl, urban decay, and the worst catastrophes of global climate change.
Baltimore Architecture
Baltimore, Maryland, is one of America's oldest and most beautiful big cities. Twelve generations of Baltimoreans have built and destroyed some of America's best constructions. Then and Now: Baltimore Architecture shows the dramatic building and rebuilding of architecture around the city's harbor, in its downtown, and throughout its great historic neighborhoods.
Charley's Woods
Charley¿s Woods is the deeply disturbing autobiography of Charles Duff, adopted child of a flagrantly homo-sexual aristo who, dynastically needing a son, married an equally aristocratic, and progessively flagrant, lesbian. These `parents¿ teased, if that¿s the word, the child that his real father was one of a string of famous people. After the inevitable divorce, Duff lived with his mother and her girlfriends and his father turned vitriolically against him. That the author manages to find humour in so tragic an upbringing, and to discover and embrace his birth family, gives new meaning to pathos.
