Enough About Love
An enthralling, shrewdly funny novel about marriage and infidelity that shows how passion can upend our settled lives—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Anomaly. Any man—or woman—who wants to hear nothing—or no more—about love should put this book down.Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they don’t know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Anna’s analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their forties and long married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.

Triage - Truth, Art and Fiction
'Together, even in our differences, we ignited a third flame, in order to entomb all that normalized disorder'
Two friends meet in an art gallery after decades of silence. The idealism that once bound them together fissured and fractured under the weight of collective and personal griefs.

In her most personal and emotionally resonant writing yet, Claudia Rankine blends narrative, memory and criticism in a poignant exploration of the beautiful but complicated friendships that we rely on to unsettle us, to make us better - exposing the fiction in the facts of our lives and demanding action in our time of relentless loss.

Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis
Priscilla Presley's divorce from Elvis left his fans incredulous. How could she leave the man every woman wanted? From the outside, life in Elvis's mansion looked glamorous and enviable, and in many respects, it was. But inside the mansion, her husband was constantly surrounded by a male entourage while at the gates, lines of beautiful women waited hopefully for an audience with the King. From the time she was seventeen years old, that life was all Priscilla had known. During her ten years with Elvis, it became painfully apparent that she had no idea who she was outside Elvis's world. The only way to find herself was to leave that world and seek a new life of her own, because leaving was the only way to survive, for herself and for her daughter.Softly, As I Leave You, is the deeply personal story of what Priscilla lost and what she found when she walked away from the man she loved. Despite the legal separation, their love for one another transformed into a touching and tender dynamic that endured until Elvis's untimely death four years later. Shattered by Elvis's passing, she had to reinvent herself a second time as the single mother of a talented, often headstrong daughter who never really recovered from her father's death. Priscilla's dedication to motherhood was enriched by the birth of her second child, and she gradually found her footing as a businesswoman, actress, designer, and legislative advocate. She transformed Graceland into an international destination and helped guide the development of Elvis Presley Enterprises. But the unexpected, shattering loss of three immediate family members years later brought Priscilla to her knees. She shares her journey with a quiet dignity that will comfort and reassure anyone who has suffered - and survived - seemingly unbearable loss.A passionate, compassionate, and inspiring story of finding your place in the world, Softly, As I Leave You, is a sweet Southern melody that will take the reader with Priscilla on her long road home.

The College Handbook – How to Arrive, Survive, and Thrive on Campus
An invaluable guide for every step of the college experience, from deciding if and where to go to maximizing academic, social, personal, and professional opportunitiesThe College Handbook shows how college is a journey rather than simply a destination, guiding undergraduates and their families through each phase of student life using a proven approach that is clear, practical, and effective. Rachel Gable shares bite-sized tips for cultivating a mindset that empowers students to navigate the thicket of choices they will make before, during, outside of, and after college.

Gable provides questions and exercises that enable students to identify and capitalize on the critical activities, habits, and attitudes that make college a transformative experience. Along the way, she covers topics such as identifying the best college for you, preparing to matriculate, leaving home and arriving on campus, making friends, orienting oneself, mastering effective academic habits, maximizing social and personal opportunities, developing professional skills and habits, deciding when and how to leave college, and charting a path through today’s rapidly changing academic landscape. Blending the latest research with Gable’s invaluable personal insights as a mentor, teacher, scholar, and parent, The College Handbook is the ultimate guide to college success, putting the goals, strengths, needs, and interests of students at the center of their choices.
Class Dismissed
A revealing account of the entrenched inequities that harm our most vulnerable students and what colleges can do to help them excelWhen the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and racial unrest gripped the world, elite colleges scrambled to figure out what to do with the diversity they so fervently recruited—and disadvantaged students suffered. Class Dismissed exposes how woefully unprepared colleges were to support these students, who share their stories of how they were left to weather the storm alone and unprotected. Drawing on the firsthand experiences of students from all walks of life at elite colleges, Anthony Abraham Jack reveals the hidden and unequal worlds students navigated before and during the pandemic closures and upon their return to campus. He shows how COVID-19 exacerbated the very inequalities that universities ignored or failed to address long before campus closures. Jack examines how students dealt with the disruptions caused by the pandemic, how they navigated social unrest, and how they grappled with problems of race both on campus and off. A provocative and much-needed book, Class Dismissed paints an intimate and unflinchingly candid portrait of the challenges of undergraduate life for disadvantaged students even in elite schools that invest millions to diversify their student body. Moreover, Jack offers guidance on how to make students’ path to graduation less treacherous—guidance colleges would be wise to follow.
Kruguerský masakr
Kdesi na „konci světa“, v Krugueru, v malé patagonské vísce, zasazené do kouzelné horské scenerie, se začínají dít nepochopitelné věci… Dvacátého sedmého června roku 1987 vesnici zachvátí „duch hromadného šílenství“ a ze stovky zdejších obyvatel nakonec zůstává pouhá hrstka přeživších. Toho dne se čerstvě napadnutý sníh zbarví krví a celá vesnice lehne popelem. Všude kolem se ve sněhu válejí hlavy, vyhřezlá střeva i kusy lidských těl jako němé pozůstatky strašlivého masakru… Ze sousedního města přijíždí komisař Dut, aby celou věc vyšetřil. Vyptává se svědků i přímých účastníků a zjišťuje, že stojí tváří v tvář čemusi nevysvětlitelnému. Záhada se kupí na záhadu a všichni svorně tvrdí: „Zabíjeli všichni. Kdo nezabíjel, toho zabili.“
Příběh je vyprávěn z perspektivy více vypravěčů, je proložen krátkými ukázkami z populární telenovely Nezkrotná a úryvkem z eseje Civilizace nebo barbarství. Podaří se Dutovi vyřešit nejzapeklitější případ jeho vyšetřovatelské kariéry? A co se časem stane s vylidněnou osadou Kruguer, která se proměnila v prokleté „místo stínů“?
