An American Summer Love and Death in Chicago Alex KotlowitzFrom the bestselling author of There Are No Children Here, a richly textured,heartrending portrait of love and death in Chicago's most turbulent neighborhoods. The numbers are staggering: over the past twenty years in Chicago, 14,033people have been killed and another roughly 60,000 wounded by gunfire. Whatdoes that do to the spirit of individuals and community? Drawing on his decadesof experience, Alex Kotlowitz set out to chronicle one summer in the city,writing about individuals who have emerged from the violence and whosestories capture the capacity--and the breaking point--of the human heart andsoul. The result is a spellbinding collection of deeply intimate profiles thatupend what we think we know about gun violence in America. Among others,we meet a man who as a teenager killed a rival gang member and twenty yearslater is still trying to come to terms with what he's done; a devoted schoolsocial worker struggling with her favorite student, who refuses to give evidencein the shooting death of his best friend; the witness to a wrongful policeshooting who can't shake what he has seen; and an aging former gang leaderwho builds a place of refuge for himself and his friends. Applying the close-up, empathic reporting that made There Are No ChildrenHere a modern classic, Kotlowitz offers a piercingly honest portrait of a city inturmoil. These sketches of those left standing will get into your bones. This onesummer will stay with you.

The Castle on Sunset Life, Death, Love, Art, and Scandal at Hollywood's ChateauMarmont Shawn LevyA definitive history of Hollywood's most iconic, storied, and scandalous hotel. For nearly ninety years, Hollywood's brightest stars have favored theChateau Marmont as a home away from home. An apartmenthouse-turned-hotel, it has been the backdrop for generations of gossip andfolklore: 1930s bombshell Jean Harlow took lovers during her third honeymoonthere; director Nicholas Ray slept with his sixteen-year-old Rebel Without aCause star Natalie Wood; Anthony Perkins and Tab Hunter met poolside andbegan a secret affair; Jim Morrison swung from the balconies, once falling nearlyto his death; John Belushi suffered a fatal overdose in a private bungalow;Lindsay Lohan got the boot after racking up nearly $50,000 in charges in lessthan two months.

Perched above the Sunset Strip like a fairytale castle, the Chateau seems tocome from another world entirely. Its singular appearance houses an equallysingular history. While a city, an industry, and a culture have changed aroundit, Chateau Marmont has welcomed the most iconic and iconoclasticpersonalities in film, music, and media. It appeals to the rich and famous notjust for its European ambiance but for its seclusion: Much of what's happenedinside the Chateau's walls has eluded the public eye.

Until now. With wit and insight, Shawn Levy recounts the wild revelries andscandalous liaisons, the creative breakthroughs and marital breakdowns, thebirths and deaths that the Chateau has been a party to. Vivid, salacious, andrichly informed, Levy's book is a glittering tribute to Hollywood as seen frominside the walls of its most hallowed hotel.

A SINGULAR VANTAGE POINT: The Chateau Marmont has discretion built into itsarchitecture. More than a tourist hotel, it is a place where, for nearly a century,entertainment icons have gone to be themselves. This is a glimpse of Hollywood withits hair down. A HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD: A biography of the Chateau Marmont is also abiography of nearly a century of popular entertainment, and the Chateau Marmont isno less relevant today than it was in the 1930s. Across the decades it has been hometo: Billy Wilder, Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate, Hunter S. Thompson, Sofia Coppola,Johnny Depp, and Lindsay Lohan.A MAGNET FOR SCANDAL: The combination of celebrity and disinhibition that theChateau Marmont fosters has led to any number of scandals, which the book shares injuicy detail.THE PERFECT WRITER FOR THE JOB: Shawn Levy has been writing about andaround Hollywood for more than twenty years. Among his titles are the New York Timesbestselling Rat Pack Confidential and Paul Newman: A Life.OPTIONED FOR TV BY JOHN KRASINSKI:Rights to the book were preempted byParamount, in conjunction with the star of The Office and director of A Quiet Place,who's planning a scripted series inspired by the book.

The Damascus Road A Novel of Saint Paul Jay PariniFrom the author of the international bestseller The Last Station, a superb historicalnovel of the Apostle Paul, whose tireless and epic preaching of the message ofJesus brought Christianity into existence and changed human history forever. In the years after Christ's crucifixion, Paul of Tarsus, a prosperous tentmakerand Jewish scholar, took it upon himself to persecute the small groups of hisfollowers that sprung up. But on the road to Damascus, he had some sort ofblinding vision, a profound conversion experience that transformed Paul intothe most effective and influential messenger Christianity has ever had. In TheDamascus Road novelist Jay Parini brings this fascinating and ever-controversialfigure to full human life, capturing his visionary passions and vastcontradictions. In relating Paul's epic journeys, both geographical and spiritual,he unfolds a vivid panorama of the ancient world on the verge of epochalchange. And in the alternating voice of the Gospel writer Luke, Paul's travelcompanion, scribe, and ghostwriter, a cooler perspective on his actions andbeliefs emerges -- ironic but still filled with wonder at Paul's unshakablecommitment to the Christ and his divinity.

A BOOK FOR ALL LOVERS OF HISTORICAL LITERARY FICTION - BELIEVERS ANDAGNOSTICS ALIKE: If you are a Christian, nothing in the book will offend you. If youare an atheist, the human drama of the religious transformation will neverthelessfascinate you.

DRAMATIZES, IN FULLY REALISTIC TERMS, THE UTTERLY UNLIKELY (PERHAPSMIRACULOUS?) RISE OF CHRISTIANITY, ONE OF THE GREATEST STORIES EVERTOLD (AS IT WERE).

IN SOME WAYS BOTH A ROAD NOVEL AND A BUDDY MOVIE: As the Apostle Paul(all passion and vision) and the Gospel writer Luke (a physician and cooler head) travelthe ancient world, getting into dangerous scrapes and solidifying their bond offriendship.

BASED ON A FIRM FOUNDATION OF BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP ANDTHEOLOGICAL DOCTRINE: As readers of his excellent brief biography of Jesus know,Jay Parini is deeply grounded in the history of early Christianity, and that authenticitygraces every page of this novel.

Honorable Exit How a Few Brave Americans Risked All to Save Our VietnameseAllies at the End of the War Thurston ClarkeA groundbreaking revisionist history of the last days of the Vietnam War thatreveals the acts of American heroism that saved more than one hundred thousandSouth Vietnamese from communist revenge In 1973 U.S. participation in the Vietnam War ended in a cease-fire and awithdrawal that included promises by President Nixon to assist the South in theevent of invasion by the North. But in early 1975, when North Vietnameseforces began a full-scale assault, Congress refused to send arms or aid. By earlyApril that year, the South was on the brink of a defeat that threatenedexecution or years in a concentration camp for the untold number of SouthVietnamese who had supported the government in Saigon or worked withAmericans. Thurston Clarke begins Honorable Exit by describing the iconic photographof the Fall of Saigon: desperate Vietnamese scrambling to board a helicopterevacuating the last American personnel from Vietnam. It is an image of U.S.failure and shame. Or is it? By unpacking the surprising story of heroism thatthe photograph actually tells, Clarke launches into a narrative that is both athrilling race against time and an important corrective to the historical record.For what is less known is that during those final days, scores ofAmericans--diplomats, businessmen, soldiers, missionaries, contractors, andspies--risked their lives to assist their current and former translators, drivers,colleagues, neighbors, friends, and even perfect strangers in escape. By thetime the last U.S. helicopter left Vietnam on April 30, 1975, these righteousAmericans had helped to spirit 130,000 South Vietnamese to U.S. bases inGuam and the Philippines. From there, the evacuees were resettled in the U.S.and became American citizens, the leading edge of one of America's mostsuccessful immigrant groups. Into this tale of heroism on the ground Clarke weaves the politicalmachinations of Henry Kissinger advising President Ford in the White Housewhile reinforcing the delusions of the U.S. Ambassador in Saigon, who, at thelast minute, refused to depart. Groundbreaking, page-turning, andauthoritative, Honorable Exit is a deeply moving history of Americans at alittle-known finest hour.

A STORY OF AMERICAN HEROISM AT A MOMENT WE DESPERATELY NEED IT:Clarke honors the scores of individual Americans who went to extraordinarylengths--defying orders, conducting secret meetings, even flying back to Vietnam fromdistant postings--to help save Vietnamese lives.DRAMA ON THE GROUND AND AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS: Clarke's Kissinger is anunforgettable character who provides the book another layer of insight from his perchin Washington.THE DUNKIRK OF THE VIETNAM WAR: This was the greatest evacuation underwartime conditions since WWII.

K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches Tyler Kepner

From the New York Times baseball columnist, an enchanting, enthralling history ofthe national pastime as told through the craft of pitching, based on years of archivalresearch and interviews with more than three hundred people from Hall of Famers tothe stars of today The baseball is an amazing plaything. We can grip it and hold it so manydifferent ways, and even the slightest calibration can turn an ordinary pitch intoa weapon to thwart the greatest hitters in the world. Each pitch has its ownhistory, evolving through the decades as the masters pass it down to the nextgeneration. From the earliest days of the game, when Candy Cummingsdreamed up the curveball while flinging clamshells on a Brooklyn beach,pitchers have never stopped innovating.

In K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches, Tyler Kepner traces the colorfulstories and fascinating folklore behind the ten major pitches. Each chapterhighlights a different pitch, from the blazing fastball to the fluttering knuckleballto the slippery spitball. Infusing every page with infectious passion for thegame, Kepner brings readers inside the minds of combatants sixty feet, sixinches apart.

Filled with priceless insights from many of the best pitchers in baseballhistory--from Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, and Nolan Ryan to Greg Maddux,Mariano Rivera, and Clayton Kershaw--K will be the definitive book on pitchingand join such works as The Glory of Their Times and Moneyball as a classic ofthe genre.

NOT JUST AN ALL-STAR LINE-UP, A HALL OF FAME LINE-UP OF INTERVIEWEES: In addition to doing years of archival research, Kepner interviewed more than 300players, coaches and managers for the book, including thirty Hall of Famers (GregMaddux, Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson, among others) and many current All-Stars, such asClayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner.MAJOR AUTHOR PLATFORM: As the baseball columnist for The New York Times,Kepner has the premier perch in the country for a sportswriter. He knows (and is liked)by everyone in the sport and in the media.GREAT STORIES FOR FANS OF EVERY TEAM: Unlike most baseball books, thescope is national, not regional, and we can highlight different anecdotes and playersfor every fan base in the country.FOR MONEYBALL FANS, TOO: The baseball readership is divided betweentraditionalists who like great yarns and analytics freaks who love strategy. K is equallysatisfying for both groups.WILL STAND--AND BACKLIST--AS THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ABOUTPITCHING: Aspiring pitchers, and coaches, will learn everything about the art ofpitching from the greatest practitioners who ever played.

Little Boy A Novel Lawrence Ferl inghett iFrom the famed publisher and poet, author of the million-copy-selling collection AConey Island of the Mind, his literary last will and testament -- part autobiography,part summing up, part Beat-inflected torrent of language and feeling, and all magical. In this unapologetically unclassifiable work Lawrence Ferlinghetti lets loosean exhilarating rush of language to craft what might be termed a closingstatement about his highly significant and productive 99 years on this planet.The "Little Boy" of the title is Ferlinghetti himself as a child, shuffled from hisoverburdened mother to his French aunt to foster childhood with a richBronxville family. Service in World War Two (including the D-Day landing),graduate work, and a scholar gypsy's vagabond life in Paris followed. Thesebiographical reminiscences are interweaved with Allen Ginsberg-esque highenergy bursts of raw emotion, rumination, reflection, reminiscence andprognostication on what we may face as a species on Planet Earth in the future. Little Boy is a magical font of literary lore with allusions galore, a final repositoryof hard-earned and durable wisdom, a compositional high wire act without a net(or all that much punctuation) and just a gas and an inspiration to read.

An exhilarating thri l l r ide made of words: A high-velocity trip through the life andmind and, especially, soul of a wise and by now totally free man.

Happy hundredth birthday, Mr. Ferl inghett i ! : He turns one hundred on March 24,2019, one week after our pub date. The agent for the book, by the way, is 9 7.

The occasion to celebrate the l ife and achievements of one of the mostsignificant f igures in postwar American l iterature: Ferlinghetti published, atgreat risk, Allen Ginsberg's Howl; he founded the iconic shrine-like City Lights Books; hewrote perhaps the bestselling poetry collection in our history. Dude did it all.

Any reader from 18 to 88 (and older) can savor the extraordinary wisdomand inextinguishable joie de vivre in the pages of Little Boy.

An item about our acquisition and Ferlinghetti 's long relationship with his97-year-old (!) agent Sterl ing Lord by Alexandra Alter just ran in the N e wYork Times.

About the Author/ I l lustratorIllustrator Residence: San Francisco, California Illustrator Hometown: Bronxville, New YorkLAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI was born in Bronxville, New York in 1919. Founder of CityLights Books and the author of numerous works of poetry, his A Coney Island of the Mind(New Directions, 1958), is one of the bestselling poetry books of all time. He lives in SanFrancisco.

Look How Happy I'm Making You Stories Polly RosenwaikeA candid, ultimately buoyant debut story collection about the realities of the "babyyears," whether you're having one or not. The women in Polly Rosenwaike's Look How Happy I'm Making You want tobe mothers, or aren't sure they want to be mothers, or--having recently givenbirth--are overwhelmed by what they've wrought. Sharp and unsettling, wry andmoving in its portrayal of love, friendship, and family, this collection expandsthe conversation about some of women's most intimate experiences.

One woman struggling with infertility deals with the news that her sister ispregnant. Another woman nervous about her biological clock "forgets" to takeher birth control and confronts the reality of becoming a single parent. A newmother with postpartum depression finds comfort with a much younger man. Apsychologist who studies infant laughter faces her best friend's tragedy.

Together, these twelve empathetic stories reveal pregnancy and newmotherhood in all its anxiety and absurdity, darkness and wonder.

GIRLS IN WHITE DRESSES + 5 YEARS: This is Jenny Offill meets Jennifer Close. It'sfor the women who read Girls in White Dresses five years ago when all their friendswere getting married and are now in the "baby phase," whether they like it or not.REAL WRITING ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOTHERHOOD: Real writing aboutmotherhood is not as common as it would seem. These are poignant, relatable stories,across the spectrum of motherly possibilities, not nightmares or sugar-coated fairytales. MULTIPLE AUDIENCES: This is about women and babies in every iteration. Youngwomen who want a realistic portrayal of what it will be like, women struggling withreproductive health, mothers looking to see a narrative of their actual experiences, andolder women looking back on the baby days. If you've had a baby or even thoughtabout it, there's something here for you. We'll capitalize on this with a publication intime for Mother's Day.THEMATICALLY LINKED: Short-story collections can be tough, but the thematiclinkage is an advantage that we've done well with before (i.e. American Housewife and Girls in White Dresses). TIMELY: Explores pertinent issues around women's lives and reproductive choices thatare in the news today and (hopefully) becoming less taboo by the minute--miscarriage,infertility, abortion, and postpartum depression.

"With incisive pluck, Rosenwaike's stories turn an empathetic and humorous eye on thetime in women's lives when the question of motherhood---whether gained or lost ordesired at all--is central. Rosenwaike fearlessly plumbs the depths of women's interiorlives, giving due space to their complexity, gravity, and lightness."--Danielle Lazarin, author of Back Talk

"The world wants one story: pregnant glow, new mother tired but ever-grateful,ever-in-love. Without shying away from any of the transcendent and true beauty, LookHow Happy I'm Making You shows us the many shadowed layers of pregnancy,miscarriage, birth and motherhood with an insistent bravery and searing honesty."-Ramona Ausubel, author of Awayland and Sons and Daughters of Ease andPlenty

Never Enough The Neuroscience and Experience of Addiction Judith GriselFrom a renowned behavioral neuroscientist and recovered drug addict, this is theauthoritative and accessible guide to understanding drug addiction that we've beenwaiting for: clearly explained brain science and vivid personal stories combine toreveal how addiction happens and what can be done about it. Addiction is epidemic and catastrophic. With more than one in every fivepeople over the age of fourteen addicted, drug abuse has been called t he mostformidable health problem worldwide. If we are not victims ourselves, we allknow someone struggling with the merciless compulsion to alter theirexperience by changing how their brain functions. Drawing on years of research--as well as personal experience as a recoveredaddict--researcher and professor Judy Grisel has reached a fundamentalconclusion: for the addict, there will never be enough drugs. The brain'scapacity to learn and adapt is seemingly infinite, allowing it to counteract anyregular disruption, including that caused by drugs. What begins as a normalstate punctuated by periods of being high transforms over time into a state ofdesperate craving that is only temporarily subdued by a fix, explaining whyaddicts are unable to live either with or without their drug. One by one, Griselshows how different drugs act on the brain, the kind of experiential effects theygenerate, and the specific reasons why each is so hard to kick. Grisel's insights lead to a better understanding of the brain's criticalcontributions to addictive behavior, and will help inform a more rational,coherent, and compassionate response to the epidemic in our homes andcommunities.

NATIONAL EPIDEMIC: Not a day goes by without a story of America's growing opioidaddiction crisis. This book will help explain the biochemistry that makes this problemso pernicious.AUTHOR'S PERSONAL STORY SETS THIS APART: By the time she wastwenty-three, Grisel had a daily drug habit, had been kicked out of three schools, andwas intermittently homeless. After getting clean and learning about the disease modelof addiction, she pursued a career in neuroscience with the underlying goal ofdiscovering how she could use without killing herself. (She learned she couldn't. So shehas been sober ever since.) She is incredibly well qualified to explain the science whilekeeping the human face of addiction in clear focus.FASCINATING INSIGHTS, DRUG BY DRUG: Grisel explains the different highsdifferent drugs provide by explaining their action on the brain--and tells engagingpersonal stories of her experiences with each.

About the Author/ I l lustratorAuthor Residence: Lewisburg, PAJUDITH GRISEL, Ph.D., is a behavioral neuroscientist and a professor of psychology atBucknell University. She has been awarded more than a million dollars in federal fundingto pursue research on the causes of drug abuse. Her work focuses on what in the brainpredisposes people to addiction, and her most recent paper revealed a genetic risk foralcoholism in women.

Reseng is an assassin. Raised by a cantankerous killer named Old Raccoon inthe crime headquarters "The Library," Reseng never questioned anything:where to go, who to kill, or why his home was filled with books that no one everread. But one day, Reseng steps out of line on a job, toppling a set of carefullycalibrated plans. And when he uncovers an extraordinary scheme set intomotion by an eccentric trio of young women--a convenience store clerk, herwheelchair-bound sister, and a cross-eyed librarian--Reseng will have to decideif he will remain a pawn or finally take control of the plot.

Pounding the Rock Basketball Dreams and Real Life in a Bronx High School Marc SkeltonWelcome to Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School, in a working-class corner ofthe Bronx, where a driven coach inspires his teams to win games andchampionships--and learn Russian history and graduate and go on to college. In 2006, the Fannie Lou Hamer Panthers basketball team was 0-18. Since2007, the year Marc Skelton, a New Hampshire native, took over as head coach,the Panthers' record has been 228-68, and they've won three Public SchoolAthletic League championships and one statewide championship. This tiny400-student school has become a powerhouse on the basketball court, as wellas a public education success story and a symbol of the regeneration of itsonce blighted neighborhood. In Pounding the Rock, Marc Skelton tells the thrilling story of the 2016-2017season, as the Panthers seek to redeem an early exit from the playoffs the yearbefore. But this is far more than a basketball story. It's a profile of a school that,against the odds, educates kids from the poorest congressional district in thecountry and sends the majority of them to college; of an unusual coach whostudies the game with Talmudic intensity, demands as much of himself as hedoes of his players (a lot), and finds inspiration as much from Melville, Gogol,and Jacob Riis as from John Wooden; and of a squad of young men who battleagainst difficulties in life every day, and who don't know how to quit. In a world of all too many downers, Pounding the Rock is one big up, on thecourt and off. All fans of basketball and of life will rise up and applaud.

IN THE BESTSELLING TRADITION OF FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS AND THE MIRACLEOF ST. ANTHONY, A SPORTS BOOK THAT IS AS MUCH ABOUT LIFE OFF THEFIELD AS ON IT.

LIKE THE MEGA-SELLING DANGEROUS MINDS, FREEDOM WRITERS, AND AMONG SCHOOLCHILDREN, A PUBLIC EDUCATION SUCCESS STORY--AND ONEWE REALLY NEED NOW. Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School wins regular awardsfor its educational innovation and its success in educating boys and girls fromchallenged backgrounds. It's a truly, truly wonderful school. You'd send your kid there.

AN UNUSUALLY WELL WRITTEN, AND OFTEN APPEALINGLY ECCENTRIC,SPORTS BOOK WRITTEN BY COACH SKELTON HIMSELF, WITHOUT ANY GHOSTWRITER. As such, the tale he tells, about the school, the team, and himself, is entirelyunfiltered, sometimes startlingly candid, and with the widest range of literary andhistorical references (Federalist Papers, anyone?) since A. J. Liebling stopped writing.

FANNIE LOU AND MARC SKELTON HAVE ALREADY BEEN PROFILED BY MICHAELPOWELL IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. The book realizes all the promise you can gleanin this piece.

About the Author/ I l lustratorAuthor Residence: New York, New York Author Hometown: Derry, New HampshireMARC SKELTON is a former all-state basketball guard from Derry, New Hampshire.

Say Nothing A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland Patrick Radden Keefe"Meticulously reported, exquisitely written, and grippingly told, Say Nothing is awork of revelation."--David Grann, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon

From award-winning New Yorker staff writer Patrick Radden Keefe, a stunning,intricate narrative about a notorious killing in Northern Ireland and its devastatingrepercussions In December 1972, Jean McConville, a thirty-eight-year-old mother of ten,was dragged from her Belfast home by masked intruders, her children clingingto her legs. They never saw her again. Her abduction was one of the mostnotorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. Everyone inthe neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear andparanoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord broughtan uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on abeach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told ablue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids, she had alwayskept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes.

Patrick Radden Keefe's mesmerizing book on the bitter conflict in NorthernIreland and its aftermath uses the McConville case as a starting point for thetale of a society wracked by a violent guerrilla war, a war whose consequenceshave never been reckoned with. The brutal violence seared not only people likethe McConville children, but also I.R.A. members embittered by a peace that fellfar short of the goal of a united Ireland, and left them wondering whether thekillings they committed were not justified acts of war, but simple murders.From radical and impetuous I.R.A. terrorists such as Dolours Price, who, whenshe was barely out of her teens, was already planting bombs in London andtargeting informers for execution, to the ferocious I.R.A. mastermind known asThe Dark, to the spy games and dirty schemes of the British Army, to GerryAdams, who negotiated the peace but betrayed his hardcore comrades bydenying his I.R.A. past--Say Nothing conjures a world of passion, betrayal,vengeance, and anguish.

A NEW YORKER STAR: Keefe has built a major reputation from his award-winningwork for the magazine. He's a master of the investigative journalism form, writinglargely about legal issues, crime, national security, and foreign policy. He is also afrequent commentator on NPR, the BBC, and CNN.RICHLY ATMOSPHERIC, TECHNICOLOR CHARACTERS: Keefe's portrait of Belfast,then and now, and the players on all sides of the conflict is masterful--from secretgraves in fog-cloaked bogs to maze-like housing projects turned into war zones, toschoolgirls with machine guns hidden in their bookbags, to ninety-one-year-old rebelsstill burning with revolutionary fervor. GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH: Revelations abound. This book will make news."WE HAVEN'T GONE AWAY": As one of Gerry Adams's own deputies said of the I.R.A.at a recent conference, "We haven't gone away." A major theme of the book is the factthat the underlying issues of The Troubles have never been addressed, and thetensions remain as well as the bomb barriers, the partition of Belfast, and the hatred ofthe other.

Southern Lady Code Essays Helen EllisThe bestselling author of American Housewife ("Dark, deadpan and truly inventive."--The New York Times Book Review) is back with a fiercely funny collection ofessays on marriage and manners, thank-you notes and three-ways, ghosts,gunshots, gynecology, and the Calgon-scented, onion-dipped, monogrammed art ofliving as a Southern Lady. Helen Ellis has a mantra: "If you don't have something nice to say, saysomething not-so-nice in a nice way." Say "weathered" instead of "she lookslike a cake left out in the rain." Say "early-developed" instead of "brace faceand B cups." And for the love of Coke Salad, always say "Sorry you sawsomething that offended you" instead of "Get that stick out of your butt, MissPrissy Pants." In these twenty-three raucous essays Ellis transforms herself intoa dominatrix Donna Reed to save her marriage, inadvertently steals a $795Burberry trench coat, witnesses a man fake his own death at a party, avoids aneck lift, and finds a black-tie gown that gives her the confidence of a dragqueen. While she may have left her home in Alabama, married a New Yorker,forgotten how to drive, and abandoned the puffy headbands of her youth, HelenEllis is clinging to her Southern accent like mayonnaise to white bread, andoffering readers a hilarious, completely singular view on womanhood for bothsides of the Mason-Dixon.

#1 MOST EMAILED: Helen's Modern Love essay, "Making a Marriage Magically Tidy,"was the #1 most emailed essay on The New York Times for four straight days--toppingall things Trump.

THE NEW YORKER AND GARDEN AND GUN: That rare essayist who can writeacross the fois gras and red meat divide, Helen's essays have appeared in The NewYorker, Garden & Gun, EatingWell, Lenny Letter, The Washington Post, Financial Times,and more.

BESTSELLING AUTHOR: American Housewife debuted on the New York Timesextended bestseller list and was an ABA Indiebound bestseller.

HELEN ELLIS: Have you been to one of her events? Do you follow this woman onTwitter? Have you seen her Christmas tree? Helen Ellis is lightning in a bottle, she's abeast in pearl earrings, she is the human equivalent of a jalapeño margarita and herfans love her hard. She is an asset in a twinset and will promote her heart out.

"Ellis is a master of the unhinged." --Heller McAlpin, NPR

Together A Memoir of a Marriage and a Medical Mishap Judy GoldmanA routine procedure left novelist, memoirist, and poet Judy Goldman's husbandparalyzed. Together is her unforgettable account of the struggle to regain their"normal" life and a nuanced portrait of a marriage tested. When Judy Goldman's husband of almost four decades reads a newspaperad for an injection to alleviate back pain, the outpatient procedure sounds likethe answer to his longtime backaches. But rather than restoring his tennisgame, the procedure leaves him paralyzed from the waist down--a phenomenonnone of the doctors the family consults can explain. Overnight, Goldman'sworld is turned upside down. Though she has always thought of herself as thepolite, demure wife opposite her strong, brave husband, Goldman finds herselfthrown into a new role as his advocate, navigating byzantine hospital policies,demanding and refusing treatments, seeking solutions to help him win back hisindependence. Along the way, Goldman flashes back to her memories of their life together.As she tries envision her family's future, she discovers a new, more resilientversion of herself. Together is a story of the life we imagine versus the life welead--an elegant and empathetic meditation on partnership, aging, and, ofcourse, love.

GREAT BLURBS: Goldman is well-connected in the Southern literary community--seebelow. And even more quotes are expected from the likes of Sara Gruen and FrancineProse.ALL-TOO-FAMILIAR MEDICAL HORROR STORY: The complexities and challenges ofAmerica's health care system continue to make headline news. Goldman manages toturn her family's nightmare into a relatable, self-aware narrative that any reader willrecognize. We all know someone who's gone through something similar.TIMELESS LOVE STORY: Goldman's marriage has spanned fifty-one years, andthough her relationship has weathered changes across decades, her partnershipremains a classic romance.

When the Irish Invaded Canada The Incredible True Story of the Civil War Veterans Who Fought forIreland's Freedom Christopher KleinThe outlandish, untold story of the Irish American revolutionaries who tried to freeIreland by invading Canada Just over a year after Robert E. Lee relinquished his sword, a band of Unionand Confederate veterans dusted off their guns. But these former foes had nointention of reigniting the Civil War. Instead, they were bound by a commongoal: to seize the British province of Canada and to hold it hostage until theindependence of Ireland was secured.

By the time that these invasions--known together as the FenianRaids--began in 1866, Ireland had been Britain's unwilling colony for sevenhundred years. Thousands of Civil War veterans considered themselvesIrishmen before they were Americans. They were those who fled rather thanperish in the wake of the Great Hunger, and now they took their cue from aprevious generation of successful American revolutionaries. With the tacitsupport of the U.S. government, the Fenian Brotherhood established a state inexile, planned prison breaks, weathered infighting, stockpiled weapons, andassassinated enemies. Defiantly, this motley group, including a one-armed warhero, an English spy infiltrating rebel forces, and a radical who staged his ownfuneral, managed to seize a piece of Canada--if only for three days.

When the Irish Invaded Canada is the untold tale of a band of fiercelypatriotic Irish Americans and their chapter in Ireland's centuries-long fight forindependence. Inspiring, lively, and often undeniably comic, this is a story offighting for what's right in the face of impossible odds.

AN UNTOLD FACET OF IRISH AMERICAN HISTORY: While a handful of Canadianauthors have told the story of the Fenian Raids from their perspective, this book will bethe first to shed light on this meaningful chapter in Ireland's seemingly endless fightfor independence from Britain.UNLIKELY HEROES: Like the three hundred Spartans at Thermopylae, thispreposterous venture was doomed to fail from the start. Yet despite the missteps andadversity, one cannot help but admire the bravery and determination of these men toregain what had been stolen and to liberate their people.ACCESSIBLE HISTORY: The desperate measures taken by this colorful cast ofcharacters are by turns inspiring and foolhardy. Klein gives the men their due withoutfailing to acknowledge the absurd, undeniably farcical elements of this lively adventurestory.OF INTEREST TO READERS ACROSS THE BOARD: Full of espionage, humor, andunforgettable characters, this book is bound to find a natural audience in readers ofIrish and American history.

Women's Work A Reckoning with Home and Help Megan StackA National Book Award finalist's devastating account of raising her children abroadwith the help of Chinese and Indian women who are also working mothers, acompromise that leads her to examine the underbelly of cheap domestic labor--andto realize that the work of the household is where gender inequality begins When Megan Stack left her prestigious job as a foreign correspondent tohave a baby and work from her home in Beijing writing a book, she quicklyrealized that childcare and housework would consume the time she needed towrite. This dilemma was resolved in the manner of many upper class familiesand large corporations: she availed herself of cheap Chinese labor. Thehousekeeper Stack hired was a migrant from the countryside, a mother whohad left her daughter in a precarious situation to earn desperately needed cashin the capital. As Stack's family grew, a series of Chinese and Indian womencooked, cleaned and babysat in her home and she grew increasingly aware ofthe brutal realities of their lives: domestic abuse, alcoholism, unplannedpregnancies, medical and family crises. Hiring poor women had given Stack theability to work while raising her children--but what ethical compromise had shemade? Determined to confront the truth, Stack traveled to her employees' homes,met their parents and children, and turned a journalistic eye on the tradeoffsthey'd been forced to make as working mothers seeking upward mobility--andon the cost to the children who were left behind. Women's Work is a stunning memoir of four women and an electrifyingmeditation on the evasions of marriage, motherhood, feminism, and privilege.

A BOOK ABOUT PRIVILEGE AT A WOKE MOMENT: Stack dramatizes the way onewoman's privilege may depend on another woman's exploitation, and considers whatcan be done about it. GORGEOUSLY WRITTEN: Stack is a beautiful writer whose last book was praised forits "shimmering sentences" (Joe Klein).DRAWING ON MANY BESTSELLING NONFICTION TRADITIONS: Stack's book hasthe sharp, dark wit of Roxane Gay, the rich characterization of marginalized figuresfound in Katherine Boo's work, and, like Barbara Ehrenreich, she conducts a journalist'sinvestigation into the grim realities of the working poor.

She reported on war for the Los Angeles Times from twenty-twocountries and was most recently Moscow bureau chief. She was a finalist for the 2007Pulitzer Prize in international reporting.
