In a war-torn village in Eastern Europe, an American photographer captures a heart-stopping image: a young girl fleeing a fiery explosion that has engulfed her home and family.

With the flash of a camera, one girl's life is shattered and another's is altered forever. A fiercely provocative novel, exploring the treacherous borders between war and sex, love and art, from the author of The Book of Joan and The Chronology of Water.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Mary Mandeville's gorgeous, raw truth-telling will crack your heart and stitch it up again. WHAT LASTS is a beautiful collection of essays that build on each other, that climb higher-much like her son Brandon climbed trees-to kiss the sky, to remind us what makes us human, to remind us devastating loss squashes us and can also open us to beauty. In these nine essays we learn Mandeville's son died by suicide. We learn how she navigated grief, how she came to fully embrace she's still alive and living out loud to honor her son, to honor herself. For anyone who's had a loss (and isn't that everyone?) WHAT LASTS is essential heart reading." - Anne Gudger, author of THE FIFTH CHAMBER / "Between love and loss over the span of a life there are small moments of epic emotion. Mary Mandeville scoops up these tiny pieces of life force, love force, and arranges them like a profound poem you might find washed up on the sand, or reaching into the sky like mighty tree branches. This book is a love song and a heart prayer. I will carry the pieces in my body forever, with deep gratitude." - Lidia Yuknavitch, author of THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER / "In WHAT LASTS, A Narrative Reliquary, Mary Mandeville offers readers a delicate, exquisitely rendered glimpse of her heart, where memory, tenderness, and motherhood swirl in gorgeous, aching combinations. Mandeville writes with a poet's precision, navigating the intimate terrain of loving, healing, losing, letting go, and witnessing. Line after line, Mandeville exhibits her singular blend of wisdom, warmth, and humanity. WHAT LASTS touched the deepest parts of me-both healed and unhealed-and I'm grateful Mandeville offers her light to all of us through these beautiful pages." - Christie Tate, author of NYT bestseller GROUP: HOW ONE THERAPIST AND A CIRCLE OF STRANGERS SAVED MY LIFE Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tuck reminded me more of what matters about the human condition than I learn from most of the humans I know. "Lidia Yuknavitch, author of Thrust and The Chronology of Water Tuck is a charismatic robot grappling with a very human conundrum, the meaning of life and death. He is the last bot in the universe after surviving the Bot Riots on Earth by escaping into space. He is grieving the loss of his family and forced to wander between planets looking for parts of himself that need replacement in order to stay functional, risking exposure even as collectors are hunting him. He alleviates his loneliness by adopting an abandoned AI integrated into a spaceship and naming it David after the boy he took care of on Earth. The two meet Maze, a genetically modified, escaped lab experiment who, like Tuck, has super-human speed and strength. Maze serves as first mate on a ship owned by a billionaire, who offers Tuck the parts he needs in exchange for assistance with her corporate raid against her main rival. Tuck finds renewed purpose in his life through Maze and quickly becomes devoted to her. Together they must survive in a world where they are at once misfits and precious commodities. The Inevitable examines the value of life in a technologically advanced society, the definition of humanity, and the complex relationships that arise in the gray area between AIs and humans.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Southbound'There's a line that runs alongside our ordinary lives, just beyond the grind of things. Jason Beem's novel Southbound derails your ordinary life and shoots you into the thrill, rush, and dark brutal truths of gambling and racing. And he doesn't flinch. A glorious and visceral book. I sweat reading it.'-Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Chronology of Water and Dora: A Headcase. Based on Amazon Best Selling author Jason Beem's own painful journey with a gambling addiction, Southbound follows Ryan McGuire, a horse racing announcer who faces his gambling demons on a daily basis. Just one bet could cost him everything?his job, his friends, his fans, his girlfriend, and even his own life. Despite knowing that all he loves is on the line, he succumbs to his vices and his life quickly spirals out of control. He's on a straight path southbound to rock bottom and only he has the power to stop it. 'A gritty fearless portrayal of a man in the midst of a gambling breakdown. A relapse to end all relapses. It's as horrifying as it is intense and written with a lean sharp eye.'--Willy Vlautin, author of The Free and The Motel Life 'Jason Beem's Southbound begins with the drama of a close horse race - and it never lets up from there. Beem has written a smart, perceptive novel - one that is about the difficulties of addiction and recovery - but also about the yearning for love, and the ways people fill the vacancies in their lives. It's saturated with the sensory joys of the race track, and a pleasure to read.' -Pauls Toutonghi, Pushcart Prize winning author of Evel Knievel Days and Red Weather.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Memory lives on the cusp between life and dream, seeing and saying, falling to pieces and finding form. Sleam's Hidden is a brilliant constellation of fragments, flashes, and waves that collect emotion, memory, desire, love, animals, land, and identities. This work is nothing short of breathtaking to me. Defiant in form, tender of heart, I took it into my body without hesitation. A heart triumph.'Lidia Yuknavitch, (Verge, Misfit Manifesto, Chronology of Water)'Humorous, sensual, and vulnerable. Sleam's narrative poems whisper the intricacies of relationship, appealing to the voyeur in all of us.'Jasminum McMullen, (By the Hour)'Tess Gallagher once said that 'The best love poems confirm something we secretly felt but never said'. I think this is true about Sarah Leamy's Hidden though the poems in this collection go even further: not just confirming something we never said but giving that secret thing a language that can hold it. In this beautifully narrative collection we are blessed by a poet whose central power is love. What a gift. Especially in a world that seems less and less interested in something so radically powerful. Hidden should not be hidden at all. It should be shared with everyone.'Matthew Dickman (Wonderland, 2018).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book split my heart open and reminded me how much immigrants matter, how much we all carry the traces of other worlds. LIDIA YUKNAVITCH, The Chronology of Water California Calling is a lyrical self-interrogation of obsession, emigration, and identity. Natalie Singer's story opens in a courtroom on a witness stand, where she's forced to testify in a family breakup that changes the course of her life. At sixteen Natalie emigrates from Montreal and the secrets it holds to the golden promise of the California Bay Area, just as her Jewish ancestors fled Russia and went west for a new life. Through uneasy rituals of high school pep rallies and college sex in boats and the backs of pickups, to a summer tracing a serial killer through the heart of Gold Country, to an eventual journalism career in San Francisco and the deserts of Palm Springs, Natalie aches to forge an American identity. At once an intimately unflinching memoir and a probing examination of the family and cultural myths that shape us, California Calling calls upon history, reportage, witness interrogation tactics, music and pop culture, and the iconography of the West to explore whether we can cure loneliness through landscape. Ultimately, California Calling is a search for a state of belonging. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
