The story of the making of ""To Have and Have Not"" (1944) is an exciting one, ranging from the widely reported romance between its stars, Humphrey Bogart and the unknown nineteen-year-old Lauren Bacall, to some of the more subtle aspects of the wartime alliance between the United States and the Batista regime in Cuba. Kawin's introduction leads us to a fuller appreciation of one of Hollywood's most memorable films. This is also a story of a collaboration among four important writers: Emest Hemingway, Howard Hawks, Jules Furthman, and William Faulkner.

In this collection of his best poems, Bruce F. Kawin explores many aspects of love, from the romantic to the metaphysical and from sex to mourning. The breadth of voice and form is masterful, and the poems are bold and evocative. As complex as they are, they relate plainly to real life. The book includes a sestina about a harried woman, a sonnet sequence reimagined as a slide show, a menu of potential love stories, a lesbian epic set in modern Greece and reimagined versions of old horror films, all of them charged with startling, moving and convincing visions of love. With his unique tone and subject matter, his good stories, his striking insights and his fresh, vivid language, Kawin reinvents and revives the love poem.

From Moby-Dick to The Unnamable, from A Tale of a Tub to The Book of Questions, Bruce Kawin explores the nature of self-conscious fiction and compares its structure to that of human consciousness. Focusing on texts that confront their own limits by trying to name the unnamable, the ineffable self, Kawin draws on methods from literary criticism to systems theory to explain a variety of first-person works that "dance around the ungraspable subject."
