Nineteen years after a passionate love affair created a rift
between her family, Carlisle must face the events of that fateful summer, in
this mesmerizing tale of betrayal, art and ambition set in the world of
professional ballet, NYC during the AIDS crisis and present day Los Angeles.
NonFiction
A gripping story of a family tragedy brought about by
witch-hunting in Puritan New England that combines history, anthropology,
sociology, politics, theology and psychology. Drawing on rich, previously
unexplored source material, Malcolm Gaskill vividly evokes a strange past, one
where lives were steeped in the divine and the diabolic, in omens, curses and
enchantments.
Gathers together responses from leading critics, authors and
academics who confirm how the classic graphic biography “Maus” has shaped the
fields of literature, history and art, and enlivened our collective sense of
possibilities for expression more than 40 years after its first publication.
Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his
extraordinary insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty
essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to
Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes
what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, and breaks down how the addition of a single
syllable can diminish a song. These essays are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often
laugh-out-loud funny.
