Inspired by an eye-opening consultation at the Los Angeles Zoo, which revealed
that a monkey experienced the same symptoms of heart failure as her human
patients, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz embarked upon a project that would
reshape how she practiced medicine. Delving into evolution, anthropology, sociology,
biology, veterinary science, and zoology, Natterson-Horowitz and science writer
Kathryn Bowers present a revelatory understanding of what animals can teach us
about the human body and mind, a pan-species approach to health: Zoobiquity. Like
us, dinosaurs suffered from brain cancer, koalas can catch chlamydia, reindeer seek
narcotic escape in hallucinogenic mushrooms, stallions self-mutilate, and gorillas
experience clinical depression. This fascinating book redefines the boundaries of
medicine, exploring how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose,
treat, and heal patients of all species.
AUTHORS: Natterson-Horowitz and Bowers have been praised for their marketability and
skill at teaching and lecturing as well as writing. Natterson-Horowitz is a cardiologist at UCLA
and has helped found a new interdisciplinary approach to medicine.
AWARD CONTENDER: Zoobiquity is a finalist for the 2013 AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for
Excellence in Science Books.
BACKLIST LIFE: This subject matter combining our interest in medicine and in popular
science guarantees a rich backlist life for this title.
SUBJECT: Among the topics discussed are weight loss and mental health issues, including
addiction, eating disorders, and depression.
COMP TITLES: Readers who have loved Jerome Groopman's Your Medical Mind, Pauline
Chen's Final Exam, Abraham Verghese's My Own Country, and Atul Gawande's
Complications will appreciate how Natterson-Horowitz and Bowers share the same humane
approach to medicine, which focuses on doctor-patient communication. It will also appeal to
fans of writers about animals like David Quammen, Temple Grandin, and Richard Ellis.
"Full of fascinating stories.... I was beguiled." --Atul Gawande, M.D., author of Complications
"Illuminating... [and] difficult to put down.... Reading Zoobiquity gave this reader a totally new
perspective on his furred and feathered neighbors." --Dennis Rosen, The Boston Globe
"Provocative.... It's exciting to watch a doctor discovering just how much the animal kingdom
has to teach her." --The Daily Beast
Author Bio: Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz earned her degrees at Harvard and
UCSF. A cardiology professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, she
serves on the Medical Advisory Board of the L.A. Zoo as a cardiovascular consultant.

Zoobiquity
Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, M.D., and Kathryn Bowers
"[A] pacy, readable, and entertaining manifesto for a zoobiquitous approach to health and wellbeing, to be welcomed by vets and
other human animals." --The Observer (London)
"Not only has Barbara Natterson-Horowitz presented a very credible argument for collaboration between disciplines, but she has
done so in a most entertaining and beautifully written manner." --New York Journal of Books
"[The authors] make a convincing case.... You will find the argument hard to resist. Plus you will have some killer dinner party
gems." --New Scientist
"Profoundly illuminating.... As clarion and perception-altering as works by Oliver Sacks, Michael Pollan, and E. O. WIlson."
--Booklist (starred review)
"Tremendously interesting and beautifully written.... At once entertaining and respectful of the reader's intelligence." --Winnipeg
Free Press
"The book features countless intriguing anecdotes.... After finishing, you're guaranteed to never look at your dog, cat, or any
other animal the same way again." --Publishers Weekly
"The authors provide solid evidence that humans are not as far removed from the rest of the natural world as we might have
thought. Engaging [and] useful." --Kirkus Reviews
"This beautifully written book is loaded with fascinating material that makes a compelling case for viewing human health and
disease comparatively. We have more to learn from other species than I had ever suspected. Gripping and memorably
engaging, it belongs in the hands of anyone with an ounce of curiosity about the biological sources of the human condition."
--Stephen Stearns, PhD., Edward P. Bass Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University
"Fascinating reading about the similarities in both the physiology and behavior of people and animals." --Temple Grandin, Ph.D.,
author of Animals Make Us Human
"The connections we share with the rest of life on our planet are a source of beauty and, in Natterson-Horowitz and Bowers'
luminous new account, the inspiration for an emerging and powerful approach to human health." --Neil Shubin, paleontologist
and author of Your Inner Fish

The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln
Stephen L. Carter
TARGET CONSUMER: For fans of Stephen L. Carter's previous bestsellers like
New England White and The Emperor of Ocean Park. For Civil War buffs,
Abraham Lincoln fans, and readers of historical fiction.
In this electrifying, provocative new novel, the author of the bestsellers The
Emperor of Ocean Park and New England White asks the question: What would
have happened had Lincoln not been assassinated?
Stephen Carter's thrilling new novel imagines an alternate history in which
Abraham Lincoln survives the assassination attempt at Ford's Theatre on April 14,
1865--only to be impeached for overstepping his Constitutional authority during the
Civil War. At the novel's center is Abigail Canner, a young black woman recently
graduated from Oberlin, who is hired by a D.C. law firm to assist in Lincoln's defense.
When one of Lincoln's lead lawyers is found brutally murdered, Abigail finds herself
plunged into a web of intrigue, politics, and conspiracy. Here is a sweeping drama that
captures the emotional tenor of post-Civil War America, that explores the nature of
presidential authority (a particularly resonant subject for our own moment in history),
and that gives us a galvanizing story of political suspense.

The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln
Stephen L. Carter
Additional Praise for Stephen L. Carter's The Impeachment of Abraham Lincoln:
"With an encyclopedic command of period detail... Carter has created an entertaining story rooted in the legal, political and racial conflicts of
19th-century America.... Carter's delight in all this material is infectious. He's a fantastic legal dramatist, and there's the constant pleasure of
seeing his creation of Washington City in 1867, alive with sounds and smells.... History buffs can test their mettle by trying to unwind Carter's
entangling of fact and fiction, but anyone should enjoy this rich political thriller that dares to imagine how events might have ricocheted in a
different direction after the Civil War." --The Washington Post
"A fascinating hypothetical and an impressively imagined look at the legal, political and personal ramifications of a time in American history
when lofty principles and petty concerns battled for pride of place in the national consciousness." --The Oregonian
"Washington readers will get a kick out of comparing Carter's vivid portrait of late-19th-century DC with the city they know today.... But the
best thing about sitting down with this rich, often thrilling novel is watching its alternative history unfold." --The Washingtonian
"[T]he streets come alive in his vision of Washington... Carter's tale comes to a conclusion as thrilling and untidy as the actual events that
unfolded during the turbulent postwar years." --Bloomberg.com
"What elevates Impeachment above most alternative history is how Carter charts the cross currents of race, class and society in the raucous
capital consumed by 'breathless rumoresque' and intrigue." --The Miami Herald
"A smart and engaging what-if that has the virtue of being plausible... Abigail makes for a grandly entertaining sleuth." --Kirkus Reviews
"This novel has all the juicy stew of post-Civil War Washington, with the complexities of race, class, and sex mixed in. Carter draws on
historical documents and a vivid imagination to render a fascinating mix of murder mystery, political thriller, and courtroom drama...
Imaginatively conceived." --Booklist (starred)

It's July 4, 2005, and the Frankel family is descending upon their beloved summer
home in the Berkshires. But this is no ordinary holiday: the family has gathered to
memorialize Leo, the youngest of the four Frankel siblings, an intrepid journalist and
adventurer who was killed on that day in 2004, while on assignment in Iraq. His
parents, Marilyn and David, are adrift in grief, and it's tearing apart their forty-year
marriage. Clarissa, the eldest, is struggling at thirty-nine with infertility. Lily, a
fiery-tempered lawyer, is angry at everyone. Noelle, a born-again Orthodox Jew (and
the last person to see Leo alive), has come in from Israel with her husband and four
children and feels entirely out of place. And Thisbe--Leo's widow and mother of their
three-year-old son--has arrived from California bearing her own secret. Over the
course of three days, the Frankels will contend with sibling rivalries and marital feuds,
volatile women and silent men, and, ultimately, with the true meaning of family.
RAVE REVIEWS: Josh had fabulous review coverage -- glowing reviews in national
newspapers and magazine. Oprah.com recently chose The World Without You as "one of
seven books that will change your life."
PERFECT READING GROUP TITLE: This novel takes up so many issues that are perfect for
book clubs and reading groups: a grieving family, varying views on religion, sibling rivalries,
infertility. Josh has vast experience promoting to books clubs, especially synogogue reading
groups, and will be a tireless promoter for the paperback.
AUTHOR: Josh directs the MFA program at Brooklyn College and is very well-connected
within the literary world.
COVER QUOTE: "Insightful.... Poignant.... [Henkin] move[s] elegantly from one perspective
to another.... Although the cast is large, you get to know them deeply, like real people....
Henkin brings them to a moving resolution that feels authentically possible.... The World
Without You shows how loss forces people to reconceive of themselves, a painful but
necessary transformation." --The New York Times Book Review
"[Henkin] grounds his novel in both time and place, creating a living, breathing world....
Gorgeously written.... Compassionate, intelligent, and shining." --The Boston Globe
Author Bio: Joshua Henkin is the author of the novels Swimming Across the Hudson
(a Los Angeles Times Notable Book) and Matrimony (a New York Times Notable
Book). His stories have been published widely, cited for distinction in Best American

The World Without You
Joshua Henkin
Additional praise for The World Without You:
"Tenderness spills from these pages." --Entertainment Weekly, "A-"
In 2005, if a novelist had published a book that hinged on the murder of a Jewish American journalist by Islamic terrorists in Iraq, it would
have been read as a political novel, a war novel, a post-9/11 novel--and, of course, a roman a clef about Daniel Pearl, who died in 2002 in
Pakistan. Seven years later, Joshua Henkin has published just such a book in The World Without You.... Yet the passage of time has made it
possible for Henkin to turn this headline-news premise into a book that is quiet, inward-turning, and largely apolitical.... Henkin is a novelist of
distinguished gifts." --Tablet
"[A] moving novel." --Vanity Fair
"[A] densely detailed and touching portrait." --People Magazine
"Heart-searing, eye-tearing, and soul-touching." --The Huffington Post
"The World Without You gives us a welcome portrait of the repercussions of faraway wars on people who usually consider themselves to be
spectators... Powerful and unexpected ... compassionate and beguiling." --NPR Books
"Point this one out to contemporary fiction fans of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, or the works of Rick Moody, Richard Russo, Philip
Roth, and John Updike." --Library Journal
"[The book explores] with subtlety and feeling the meaning of family, both those we are born with and those we choose, those we leave
behind and those with whom we soldier on." --Newsday
"There's a lot of tender feeling here for the American family, on the ropes for sure, but well worth fighting for, Henkin's heartfelt novel insists."
--The Miami Herald
"Intimate and insightful." --San Francisco Chronicle
"[A] poignant and moving novel.... Henkin is a polished writer with an eye for detail." --The Times of Israel
"Henkin is a master at letting his characters emerge in subtle but captivating ways." --The Seattle Times
"Henkin's prose is as smooth and clear as a morning lake.... The narrative builds tiers of tension that break unexpectedly into dramatic action,
like blocks in a Jenga tower." --Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Moving." --Oprah Magazine
"A 21st-century novel that deals with contemporary politics in a sensitive and dignified way without being cynical, bombastic or
melodramatic.... Its backdrop is current, but its focus--the bonds and rifts that make family life meaningful--is timeless." --English-Language
Haaretz
"Few American novelists, living or dead, have ever been as good as Henkin at drawing people." --Commentary Magazine
"An immeasurably moving masterpiece." --Heidi Julavits, author of The Vanishers
"This book is a triumph and an important novel about America." --Yiyun Li, author of Gold Boy, Emerald Girl
"Henkin is a writer of voluminous heart, humanity, and talent." --Julia Glass, author of The Widower's Tale
"A more bittersweet version of Jonathan Tropper's This is Where I Leave You or a less chilly variation on Jonathan Franzen's The
Corrections, Henkin ... tenderly explores family dynamics in this novel about the ties that bind, and even lacerate." --Publishers Weekly

Review of Books
COMMERCIAL APPEAL: This lush retelling of a Chinese classic is refined, yet immensely
accessible: a sweeping historical page-turner set against the vivid canvas of
eighteenth-century Beijing, filled with palace intrigue from the royals to the servants, with a
haunting love story at its center.
BOOK CLUB CHOICE: With its rich history, upstairs/downstairs portrait of life within and
around the Imperial Palace, and provocative focus on the lives of three very different women,
The Red Chamber is a natural for reading groups.
AUTHOR: Chen has the credentials to undertake this ambitious reimagining--a B.A. in
classics from Harvard, a law degree from Yale, and a doctorate in East Asian studies from
Princeton--and will attract wide attention.
"Dazzles on every page. Heartbreaking, exhilarating, and impossible to put down." --Julie
Otsuka, author of The Buddha in the Attic
"Bold and memorable...Chen retells and re-creates in lush detail the daily life inside the
Rongguo Mansion, where scandalous secrets and lies are hidden behind a grand façade."
--Chicago Tribune
Author Bio: Pauline A. Chen earned her B.A. in classics from Harvard, her J.D. from
Yale Law, and her Ph.D. in East Asian Studies from Princeton. She has taught

The Red Chamber
Pauline A. Chen
More praise for The Red Chamber:
"The excesses of Imperial China frame this elegant story of shifting fortunes, power struggles, palace intrigue, betrayal, and
love...The Red Chamber takes a long hard look at the complex interconnected desires, ambitions, and conventions that can bind
a family together--or tear it apart." --The Daily Beast
"Moving, startling, and quite beautiful...a welcome, memorable introduction to characters vivid in the imaginations of generations
of Chinese readers." --Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Here is clearly a work of love and a pleasing introduction to a novel--and a world--that Americans deserve to get to know." --The
Columbus Dispatch
"The Red Chamber offers a window into a foreign world...Chen's framework provides a context for her characters' actions, as
often flawed as they are heroic, that makes things not just knowable but comprehensible." --The Denver Post
"Rarely does a cast of beloved literary figures from another culture and time come alive on the pages of a modern writer's work.
Pauline Chen has reimagined the characters from my very favorite novel to make a compelling new version of China's great
literary masterpiece." --Arthur Golden, author of Memoirs of a Geisha
"The Red Chamber draws a memorable portrait of the Qing dynasty era, revealing a dangerous world of intrigue and secrets
within the entrapping web of societal mores and manners. Written in a precise, cinematic style, Chen's novel brings this
fascinating historical period to vivid life." --Dan Chaon, author of Stay Awake
"Fans of historical fiction who appreciate resonant details, unexpected intrigue, and multigenerational plotting will find this work
irresistible.... just the right blend of the highbrow literary and guilty summer pulp." --Library Journal
"A vivid portrait...From the mighty heights to the depths of poverty and despair, the significance of female relationships,
friendships, and rivalries are at the forefront of this compelling glimpse into an exotic time and place." --Booklist

Performers and creative writers are Shakespeare's most direct inheritors
today--the ones who engage with his work as a living legacy to be performed,
adapted, responded to, or interacted with, and not only to be read or dissected by
scholars. Editor Susannah Carson has invited a wide range of people in these lines of
work (and a few notable scholars as well) to reflect on why Shakespeare is such a
vital part of our culture or more specifically on their own engagement with the Bard.
Essays include Julie Taymor on turning Prospero into Prospera, Camille Paglia on
teaching Shakespeare to actors, F. Murray Abraham on gaining an audience's
sympathy for Shylock, Germaine Greer on the Bard's home life, and Jane Smiley on
transposing King Lear to Iowa in A Thousand Acres.
UNIQUE APPROACH: Veering away from academic criticism, this book presents the
perspectives of contemporary actors, directors, and writers for whom his achievement is a
living legacy that directly influences their own creative work.
ORIGINAL MATERIAL: These are almost entirely newly commissioned pieces, plus a few
essays adapted by their authors for this book.
WIDE VARIETY OF CONTRIBUTORS: In addition to playwrights, novelists, actors, and
directors, we also hear from a voice coach, a philosopher, a poet, a naturalist, and even
creators of graphic novels.
PREFACE BY HAROLD BLOOM, Shakespearean extraordinaire.
EDITOR'S PREVIOUS BOOK: Carson's anthology on Jane Austen's undying appeal, A Truth

Brooklyn Zoo
The Education of a Psychotherapist
Darcy Lockman
TARGET CONSUMER: For psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists,
doctors, and nurses eager for another viewpoint, and academics looking for
anecdotal reporting from the inside. For readers interested in the practice of
psychiatric medicine and the daily happenings within a psychiatric ward.
In her eye-opening, ruthlessly honest account, Darcy Lockman shares the
stress, frustration, and exhilaration of her clinical training as a psychologist in
the midst of institutional dysfunction at Brooklyn's Kings County Hospital.
After leaving her career in magazine journalism to become a psychotherapist,
Darcy Lockman confronted a slew of challenges including numerous troubling cases,
struggles to provide the poor and chronically ill with adequate care, and the general
and sometimes humorous indignities of being a trainee in any field. This compelling
memoir will by turns deeply move, shock, and enrage you. Hope is not lost though,
and Brooklyn Zoo introduces us to the many smart people currently trying to fix the
mental health-care system, enhancing our understanding of what psychologists can
make possible through their work.

INVESTIGATIVE REPORTAGE: Like Susan Sheehan's classic, Is There No Place on Earth
for Me?, this is a moving and angering portrayal of how the poor and mentally troubled are
treated by our damaged public institutions. Brooklyn Zoo will become to psychotherapy what
Scott Turow's One L is to lawyering and Samuel Shem's House of God is to doctoring.
MUST-READ INSIDER'S LOOK: A fascinating portrait of the mental health profession at its
most colorful and least glamorous, and a necessary read for anyone who gives or receives
treatment.
COMING-OF-AGE APPEAL: Any reader who has made his/her obstacle-strewn way in any
profession will closely identify with Lockman's struggles with difficult colleagues, institutional
incompetence, and her own conflicted feelings.
CRITICISM: Brooklyn Zoo provides a detailed experiential critique of pill-prescribing
psychiatry, and a defense of the critical need for traditional patient-centered psychotherapy.
COVER QUOTE: "A rare gem.... An intelligently written, sobering look at what it takes to be a
psychotherapist." --Dan Berkowitz, Psych Central
"A sorrowful and fascinating portrait of the institutional underworld where criminality and
mental illness coexist." --Alex Beam, author of Gracefully Insane
Author Bio: Darcy Lockman, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist in private practice in
New York City. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Psychology Today,
and Rolling Stone, among others. She lives with her husband and baby daughter in
Queens.
Residence: Queens, NY Hometown: Detroit, MI
Brooklyn Zoo
Darcy Lockman
Additional praise for Brooklyn Zoo:
"Utterly fascinating.... Expertly written: The prose flows, the pacing is even, and the structure is well crafted.... It's the kind of book you don't
want to rush through; you want to dwell on each chapter, and meditate on Lockman's experiences to get a fuller sense of what she saw."
--Dan Berkowitz, Psych Central
"Lockman is no Nurse Ratched; she describes the cast of damaged characters who rotate through the building with the sympathetic touch of
a born caregiver, rather than as a voyeur, and the reader is brought to share her frustration with a system that, unfortunately, cannot always
afford to be more human." --The Daily Beast
"Provocative material. . . . A former journalist, Lockman delivers fascinating revelations about the ways diagnoses are made in Brooklyn Zoo."
--Entertainment Weekly
"Reading Brooklyn Zoo is like getting a nightly e-mail from your best friend as she explores the far side of the moon. I gasped at what she
saw and alternately winced and cheered at her responses. A smart, delightful surprise of a book." --Susan Baur, author of The Dinosaur Man:
Tales of Madness and Enchantment from the Back Ward
"Brooklyn Zoo takes us to places where very, very few of us would ever go.... This interesting memoir deals with situations which might be
considered hopeless with great compassion and clarity. For so many of these people, mental illness is the least of their worries but the most
of their handicaps.... Lockman cares about people in a way that few of us dare." --Joanne Greenberg, author of I Never Promised You a Rose
Garden
"[Lockman] can empathize with the human flotsam washed up on the outer edge of outer Brooklyn--the white folks get sent to Bellevue, in
Manhattan--but more to the point, she can write." --Alex Beam, author of Gracefully Insane: Life and Death Inside America's Premier Mental
Hospital
"Before returning to graduate school Lockman worked as a magazine journalist, a skill she puts to good use in this insider's look at the
practice of psychiatry in a poorly funded, understaffed public institution." --Kirkus Reviews

The Crowded Grave
A Mystery of the French Countryside
Martin Walker
TARGET CONSUMER: Lovers of international crime capers with unique lead
detectives. Fans of French culture and cuisine. Readers of Peter Mayle (fiction
and nonfiction)
Another delectable mystery starring Bruno, Chief of Police and the pleasures of
the Dordogne from our newest master of suspense: Martin Walker.
It's spring in the idyllic village of St. Denis, and for Chief of Police Bruno Courrèges
that means lamb stews, bottles of his beloved Pomerol, morning walks with his hound,
Gigi--and a new string of regional crimes and international capers. When a local
archaeological team looking for Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal remains turns up a
corpse with a watch on its wrist and a bullet in its head, it's up to Bruno to solve the
case. But the task will not be easy, not with a meddlesome new magistrate eager to
make a strong impression, an ongoing series of attacks by animal rights activists on
local foie gras producers, and a nearby summit between France and Spain
approaching--not to mention two beautiful, brilliant women vying for Bruno's affections.

BELOVED CHARACTER: Bruno, Chief of Police, is back and ready to win over even more
fans with his panache and joie de vivre in this fourth book in the series, which has been
praised as "sure to appeal to readers with a palate for mysteries with social nuance and
understated charm" (The Wall Street Journal).
AUTHOR: Martin Walker is an appealing guide to Dordogne and a Francophile's delight. He
posts regularly about the region, its food, and culture on his blog
(www.brunochiefofpolice.com).
PRAISE: Reviewers continue to be delighted with the series, especially The Seattle Times,
which says: "In Martin Walker's delightful series ... the charm of rural France is regularly
disrupted--but not too much.... Bruno is a casual, unfussy gourmand, the kind of guy who
hums the Marseillaise to time how long to sauté foie gras."
"A satisfyingly intriguing, wish-you-were-there read." --The Guardian (London)
"The small towns where Martin Walker sets his enchanting country mysteries embody the
sublime physical beauty ... of France." --The New York Times
Author Bio: Martin Walker is senior director of the Global Business Policy Council, a
private think tank for CEOs of major corporations, based in Washington, D.C. He is
also editor in chief emeritus and an international affairs columnist at United Press
International. His three previous novels in the Bruno series are Bruno, Chief of Police;
The Dark Vineyard; and Black Diamond.
Residence: Washington D.C.; Dordogne

Martin Walker
Praise for Martin Walker and his Bruno series:
"A gentle reminder to slow down and smell the grapes.... [Walker] beguiles the reader." --The New York Times Book Review
"Martin Walker plots with the same finesse with which Bruno can whip up a truffle omelette, and both have a clear appreciation
for a life tied to the land." --The Christian Science Monitor
"Bruno Courrèges may be a small-town cop, but he's anything but small-minded. Walker ... has created a character who's
endearingly human and worldly wise." --Booklist
"A charming French village, great food, eccentric characters and a mystery to nudge things along.... Savory indeed." --The
Seattle Times
"Everyone needs a friend in southern France to go spend some time with, and Walker has opened Bruno's door to anyone who
has a few hours to join him in the simple joys of la vie en rose." --The Washington Independent

Several Short Sentences About Writing
Verlyn Klinkenborg
TARGET CONSUMER: For not only authors, journalists, and aspiring writers,
but also for bloggers, emailers, texters, letter writers, and more. Klinkenborg's
writing advice is for anyone who has ever put pen to paper or finger to
keyboard.
An indispensable and distinctive book that will help anyone who wants to write,
write better, or have a clearer understanding of what it means for them to be
writing, from widely admired writer and teacher Verlyn Klinkenborg.
Klinkenborg believes that most of our received wisdom about how writing works is
not only wrong but an obstacle to our ability to write. In Several Short Sentences
About Writing, he sets out to help us unlearn that "wisdom"--about genius, about
creativity, about writer's block, topic sentences, and outline--and understand that
writing is just as much about thinking, noticing, and learning what it means to be
involved in the act of writing. There is no gospel, no orthodoxy, no dogma in this book.
Instead it is a gathering of starting points in a journey toward lively, lucid, satisfying
self-expression.

AUTHOR: Besides writing books and contributing to The New York Times, Klinkenborg has
always taught--at Fordham University, St. Olaf College, Bennington College, Pomona
College, and Harvard University--and this shares both what has helped him as a writer and
what has been most helpful to his writing students.
SUBJECT: This is not only a book for those who think of themselves as capital-"W" writers,
but rather a book for everyone: office FYI-ers, e-mailers, bloggers, tweeters, diary keepers,
the endangered letter writer, etc.
FRESH TAKE ON WRITING: This is new and engaging, unique in that it offers the reader a
way to think about writing that is not prescriptive or dogmatic but suggests how to think about
what you are doing when you write.
"To paraphrase Voltaire's statement concerning the Almighty, 'if Verlyn Klinkenborg did not
exist, it would be necessary to invent him.' Because having read Several Short Sentences
About Writing, I do not think that it would be possible to not have this book on hand...no other
book, old or new, is as well reasoned as this, as entertaining or as wise.... Indeed, no other
book is as filled with as much grounded, practical advice for putting words to the paper or
electronic page or gives better, more helpful exercises.... Best book on writing. Ever." --New
York Journal of Books
Author Bio: Verlyn Klinkenborg is a member of the editorial board of The New York
Times, to which he also contributes meditations about the rural farm, pieces that were
collected in The Rural Life. His other books include Making Hay, The Last Fine Time,
and Timothy; or, Notes of an Abject Reptile.
Residence: Austerlitz, NY
Several Short Sentences About Writing
Verlyn Klinkenborg
Additional praise for Several Short Sentences About Writing:
"Verlyn Klinkenborg has written an exceptionally interesting and useful book about writing. There have been good books on grammar and
style, some classics, but none to compare to this one for understanding where sentences come from in the first place, where their vitality is
found, and what distinguishes their energy, their authenticity, and their prospects for life after birth--that is, the art of revision. This book's long
future will be a testament to its author's principles." --Tom McGuane
"A fresh perspective on writing that goes against conventional classroom theory." --Shelf Awareness
"Klinkenborg does away with much of the traditional wisdom on writing and dissects the sentence--its structure, its intention, its semantic
craftsmanship--to deliver a new, useful, and direct guide to the art of storytelling." --Brain Pickings
"Expertise and zeal are required for an established writer to offer genuinely useful guidance to aspiring writers. It also helps if the writer
teaches writing, as Klinkenborg has for many years...The result is a unique anatomy of the sentence and the writing mind and a clarifying and
invigorating 'book of first steps.'" --Booklist
"This is a very interesting little book about writing. Modest. Learned. Good-natured. Direct and sympathetic to its readers. You don't even
have to read it front to back (probably you couldn't, anyway). You can just open it anywhere--as I did--and take away something useful."
--Richard Ford
"Verlyn Klinkenborg's Several Short Sentences About Writing is an invaluable book for anyone who wants to write well. The simple clarity and
logic that he brings to the page is mesmerizing and inspiring--the ultimate cleansing process that leaves you wanting a fresh piece of paper
and a brand new start. It is a book filled with great advice and wisdom. And it's fun, too!" --Jill McCorkle

The Juice
Vinous Veritas
Jay McInerney
TARGET CONSUMER: McInerney readers, wine connoisseurs, and fans of
outstanding food and wine writing will love this book.
A generous new collection by the acclaimed novelist who, according to Salon,
is also "the best wine writer in America."
For more than a decade, Jay McInerney's vinous essays have been praised by
restaurateurs ("educational and delicious at the same time" --Mario Batali), by
esteemed critics ("brilliant, witty, comical, and often shamelessly candid and
provocative" --Robert Parker), and by the media ("McInerney's wine judgments are
sound, his anecdotes witty, and his literary references impeccable" --The New York
Times). Here, in pieces originally published in House & Garden and The Wall Street
Journal, McInerney provides a master class in the almost infinite varieties of wine and
the people and places that produce it, with the trademark style and expertise that
prompted the James Beard Foundation to grant him the M.F.K. Fisher Award for
Distinguished Writing in 2006.

Praise for Jay McInerney:
COVER QUOTE: "[McInerney] is the best wine writer in the U.S., perhaps in the English
language." --The Austin Chronicle
"It is a pleasure to see the wine world through a novelist's playful eyes, and to feel the
infectious joy he finds in great wines, places and personalities from around the world." --Eric
Asimov, The New York Times
"As bracing as high-acid Riesling.... McInerney the novelist, with his eye for detail and smart
aleck wit, is never far from the page, [and] he's able to get inside each destination and suss
out what makes it interesting." --The Washington Post Book World
"[McInerney] provides some of the finest writing on the subject of wine.... Brilliant, witty,
comical, and often shamelessly provocative." --Robert M. Parker, Jr.
"McInerney has become the best wine writer in America." --Salon.com
"To the fruity, buttery world of wine writing, there's nothing else like it." --The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution
"We're fortunate that Jay McInerney has chosen to shower his immense gifts on a new
source of pleasure: the grape.... He's a wry companion who is clearly at home with and
enjoying the subject." --Danny Meyer
Author Bio: Jay McInerney is a regular contributor to New York, The New York
Times Book Review, The Independent, Corriere della Sera, and The Wall Street
Journal. His short fiction has appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, Playboy, Granta,
and The Paris Review. In 2006, Time cited Bright Lights, Big City as one of nine
generation-defining novels of the twentieth century.

The Juice
Jay McInerney
This new collection by the acclaimed novelist--and, according to Salon, "the best wine writer in America"--is generous and
far-reaching, deeply knowledgeable and often hilarious.
For more than a decade, Jay McInerney's vinous essays, now featured in The Wall Street Journal, have been praised by
restaurateurs ("Filled with small courses and surprising and exotic flavors, educational and delicious at the same time" --Mario
Batali), by esteemed critics ("Brilliant, witty, comical, and often shamelessly candid and provocative" --Robert M. Parker Jr.), and
by the media ("His wine judgments are sound, his anecdotes witty, and his literary references impeccable" --The New York
Times).
Here McInerney provides a master class in the almost infinite varieties of wine and the people and places that produce it all the
world over, from the historic past to the often confusing present. From such legendary châteaus as Margaux and Latour and
Palmer to Australia and New Zealand and South Africa, to new contenders in Santa Rita Hills and Paso Robles, we learn about
terroir and biodynamic viticulture, what Champagnes are affordable (or decidedly not), even what to drink over thirty-seven
courses at Ferran Adrià's El Bulli--in all, an array of grapes and wine styles that is comprehensive and thirst inducing. And
conspicuous throughout is McInerney's trademark flair and expertise, which in 2006 prompted the James Beard Foundation to
grant him the MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award.
Praise for The Hedonist in the Cellar:
"Good wines leave you wanting more; so, too, good wine writing, [and] from start to finish, first sip to last, A Hedonist in the Cellar is crisp,
stylish, and very funny." --Michael Steinberger, The New York Times Book Review
"Splendid vino vignettes [that] pique both curiosity and thirst." --Entertainment Weekly
"[McInerney's] research is impeccable. . . . Wine writer or novelist, the man is a story teller and a good one, [and] he is a hard-working
professional who brings solid reporting and exceptional narrative skills to a subgenre woefully in need of them." --The New York Times
"McInerney combines his extensive and perpetually growing knowledge of wine with a penchant for telling a good cocktail hour story to create
a collection that is thoroughly pleasurable to read and digest. As all essay anthologies should, Hedonist begins with an informative
introduction, written in McInerney's comfortable, laid-back style--much like an evening's first glass of wine." --Bookreporter.com
Praise for Bacchus and Me:
"McInerney's wine judgments are sound, his anecdotes witty and his literary references impeccable. Not many wine books are good reads;
this one is." --The New York Times
"McInerney has become the best wine writer in America." --Salon

The Sandcastle Girls
Chris Bohjalian
TARGET CONSUMER: Readers of moving women's fiction set at dramatic
turning points in history. Those who fell in love with Cutting For Stone and Kite
Runner in paperback. People wanting to know more about Armenian history.
A sweeping historical love story inspired by the bestselling author's Armenian
heritage--a subject his legions of fans have been asking him to write about for
years.
When Elizabeth Endicott arrives in Aleppo, Syria, she has a diploma from Mount
Holyoke, a crash course in nursing, and only the most basic grasp of the Armenian
language. It's 1915, and Elizabeth has volunteered to help deliver food and medical
aid to refugees of the Armenian genocide. She meets Armen, a young Armenian
engineer who has already lost his wife and infant daughter. After leaving Aleppo and
traveling into Egypt to join the British Army, he begins to write Elizabeth letters, and
he realizes that he has fallen in love with the wealthy American woman. Several
generations later, their granddaughter Laura embarks on a journey back through her
family's history, uncovering love, loss, and a wrenching secret that Elizabeth kept
buried for generations.

The Sandcastle Girls
Chris Bohjalian
"Cool and lucid.... With Armen and Elizabeth, Bohjalian has fulfilled the duty of anyone seeking to document a genocide--he
ensures that we don't look away." --The Boston Globe
"Bohjalian--the grandson of Armenian survivors--pours passion, pride, and sadness into his tale of ethnic destruction and
endurance." --Entertainment Weekly
"[A] great read." --People
"Chris Bohjalian is at his very finest in this searing story of love and war. I was mesmerized from page one. Bravo!" ---Paula
McLain, author of The Paris Wife
"It takes a talented novelist to combine fully ripened characters, an engrossing storyline, exquisite prose and set it against a
horrific historical backdrop--in this case, the Armenian Genocide--and completely enchant readers. The prolific and captivating
Chris Bohjalian has done it all--again--with The Sandcastle Girls.... Seamless.... A fascinating journey through time and history."
--The Associated Press
"A sweeping love story . . . Toggling between two eras, Bohjalian paints a vivid portrayal of love and pain and the strength to
survive each. At once heartbreaking and hopeful, The Sandcastle Girls is a mesmerizing work of historical fiction influenced by
the author's heritage and driven by a romance so beautiful and believable it hurts." --The Free Lance-Star (Fredericksburg, VA)
"Bohjalian is a literary novelist unafraid to reference Proust's madeleine and expect readers to get it. But his books are also filled
with artfully drawn characters and great, passionate storytelling. The Sandcastle Girls is all that, but different, more powerful....
Handled with such skill that it seems perfect." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Bohjalian deftly weaves the many threads of this story back and forth from past to present, from abuse to humanity, from
devastation to redemption. His ability to add irony and wit makes the contrasting horrors even more intense. . . . Staggering [and]
utterly riveting . . . [A] valuable and powerful piece of evidence pointing to the undeniable." --The Washington Post

Phantom
A Harry Hole Novel
Jo Nesbo
TARGET CONSUMER: Fans of Scandinavian thrillers by Stieg Larsson and
Henning Mankell. Fans of riveting police procedurals and gripping thrillers
including those of Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, and James Lee Burke.
The latest installment in Jo Nesbø's internationally bestselling series plunges
the gifted and damaged detective into his most dangerous and intensely
personal investigation.
When Harry Hole left for Hong Kong he thought he was leaving Oslo and his
career as a detective for good. But now he's back and, although unwelcome on the
police force, he still has some investigating to do. Oleg, the boy he helped raise and
had left behind, has been arrested for the murder of a fellow drug addict. Harry is
determined to prove that Oleg is not a killer. So begins a case that will send the
detective into the depths of the city's drug culture--where a shockingly deadly new
street drug is gaining popularity--and make him confront his past in order to save Oleg
and himself.

BEST OF 2012: A Kirkus and Barnes & Noble Best Book of the Year
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: Phantom hit the New York Times bestseller list at #9 and has also
landed on the Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, and ABA IndieBound bestseller lists.
BESTSELLING INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON: In the U.S., across all formats, Random
House Inc has netted 650,000 copies of his books. KDPG has sold more than 260,000 copies
of The Snowman (hardcover, paperback, and eBook), and more than 140,000 copies of The
Leopard. Both titles were New York Times bestsellers. Abroad, Phantom went straight to #1
in hardcover in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The pbk is a #1 bestseller in Germany and
Nesbø is now the U.K.'s second-best selling author: one of his books is sold there every
twenty-three seconds.
AUTHOR PROFILE: Knopf has dramatically increased Jo Nesbø's profile and sales, helped
by his charming, funny appearance at BEA 2012 and his U.S. visit in Fall 2012. We are
committed to further building his brand.
MOVIES: The Norwegian-language film version of Headhunters (Magnolia Pictures, April
2012) did very well in the U.S. market. Forthcoming English-language versions of The
Snowman (Working Title Films, expected 2013), directed by Martin Scorcese, and
Headhunters (Summit Entertainment, expected 2014), starring Mark Wahlberg, will raise
Nesbø's public profile even more.
MORE HARRY HOLE TO COME: The Redeemer is due from Knopf in June 2013.
"Intricate, breakneck plotting makes for an addictive page-turner in Phantom... Brings to mind
Michael Connelly's tortured LAPD detective Harry Bosch." --Los Angeles Times
"Whether you are already a fan of Harry Hole, or just getting to know him, the gripping
suspense and fast-paced action that fills Phantom will keep you reading until dawn."
--Oprah.com
"The most realistic novel in this series... Nesbø's true subject is the deterioration of the social
fabric that has made Oslo such a civilized place." --The New York Times Book Review
"One of this great crime writer's best.... Not to be missed." --The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Author Bio: Jo Nesbø is a musician, songwriter, economist, and author. He has won
the Glass Key Award for best Nordic crime novel. His other Harry Hole novels include
The Redbreast, Nemesis, The Devil's Star, The Snowman, and The Leopard. He lives
in Oslo. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett.
Residence: Oslo, Norway Author Site: jonesbo.com Social: facebook.com/JoNesboAuthor
Phantom
Jo Nesbo
"This book lays down important new tracks in the trajectory of a character trying to survive his tortured personality... Suggests
more than a few parallels to the great television series The Wire; perhaps it is one master's nod to another... While Hole is
indisputably the dominant force, Phantom features a second character that adds a surprising depth to the novel--and that is Oslo
itself."
--The Boston Globe
"Easily the most troubling and heartfelt of this excellent series, Phantom is one of the finest suspense novels to come out of
Scandinavia to date."
--BookPage
"Far more than a procedural... Personal and topical and hip, as usual... Nesbø, who knows his hometown of Oslo from the
inside, also knows how to build tension both in his fiction and in our expectations... In Phantom, Nesbø sets an emotionally
wrenching story about family within a twisty tale of designer drugs, Norwegian police corruption, and a teenage underworld."
--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Nesbø has written a cunningly constructed thriller with a lot of moving parts, and once he sets the machinery in motion, the pace
accelerates. A lot.... Nesbø has got it running at Hollywood summer blockbuster speed."
--Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Chilling.... Nesbø's most realistic and most affecting [novel]."
--The Columbus Dispatch
"[An] impeccably crafted story.... Nesbø is among the most sizzling novelists in Europe."
--Sacramento Bee
"Nesbø begins with an emotionally gripping family drama but surrounds it with an elaborate, beautifully constructed plot.... The
subplots, plot twists (especially the last one), and the fully fleshed supporting characters--many of whom could drive their own
novels--are all testament to Nesbø's remarkable talent.... Superb on every level."
--Booklist (starred)
"Deeply moving.... This is Harry's most personal case, and yet Nesbø never allows Harry's paternal feelings for Oleg cloud his
need for truth, however costly that pursuit may be."
--Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Nesbø is one of the best.... Oslo's gritty and violent drug world is brought to life through the characters. The fast-paced plots are
twisted and riveting, and the two stories collide to reveal a shocking climax. Nesbø is on par with the original Scandinavian duo
Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, authors of the Martin Beck series."
--Library Journal
"He banishes cliche in this overworked genre--his recovering-alcoholic, shambolic, rule-breaking detective is somehow always
surprising us.... Phantom will maintain Jo Nesbø's unstoppable momentum."
--The Independent (London)
"Nesbø's portrait of venality and corruption is bleakly angry, his peek beneath Oslo's gleaming façade disturbing; a fascination
with addiction adds to his writing's unsettling intensity. But he doesn't let this overwhelm a tightly coiled plot.... [Phantom] is
another excellent example of why Nesbø has such a firm grasp on the Nordic crime crown."
--Metro (UK)
"Harry's most lethally gripping and personal journey to date."
--The Mirror (London)

Review of Books
From Pasadena to Cambridge to New York, Washington, D.C., India, Ceylon,
Paris, Marseilles, Santa Barbara, and Maine, Bob Spitz re-creates an extraordinary
life. He takes us beyond the image of Julia as the tall, eccentric woman with a funny
voice who taught America how to cook, to establish her as a genuine rebel and
beloved icon, a woman who redefined herself in middle age, helped to change the
role of women in America, set the standard for how to create a public personality in
the modern media world, and altered the way America eats and thinks of food. There
might not be a Food Network or even a PBS if Julia had not blazed the trail. Spitz
chronicles Julia's friendships, her struggles, her heartwarming romance with Paul,
and, of course, the story of the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and
her triumphant TV career. A thorough, surprising, affectionate, and extraordinarily
entertaining account of a truly remarkable life.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: America still loves Julia Child! DEARIE spent six weeks on the
New York Times bestseller list, debuting at #6; several weeks in the top ten of the LA Times,
SF Chronicle and numerous Indie lists throughout the country.
JC100: We saw great press for Julia Child's legacy on the occasion of her centennial in
August. Her books have sold nearly 4 million copies for Knopf, and the film version of Julie &
Julia brought Julia Child to a huge new audience. Readers turned to this book to learn more;
and will continue to do so in paperback.
OUT OF THE KITCHEN: The book goes way beyond her contributions to the world of food
and establishes her as one of the most important cultural and feminist icons of the twentieth
century. Julia Child followed her passion and, in doing so, inspired and changed our country.
AUTHOR: Bob Spitz is an extremely well-regarded biographer with a very visible profile.
Named a "Best Non-Fiction of 2012" book by Kirkus, a "50 Notable Works of Nonfiction" book
by The Washington Post, a "Best Book of 2012" by NPR, and one of Time's "10 Best Books
of the Year"
COVER QUOTE: "By far the most substantial new book on Child.... A lively, affectionately
detailed portrait." --Wall Street Journal
"A consideration not only of her life but of her place in 20th century American history, the
book makes a strong case for Child as a 'cultural guerrilla' on par with Andy Warhol, Bob
Dylan and Helen Gurley Brown." --Newsday
"A rollicking biography that captures the vision, pluck and contagious exuberance that were
the essence of Julia Child" --People Magazine
"It's a revelation." --Lev Grossman, Time
Author Bio: Bob Spitz is the award-winning author of The Beatles, a New York Times
bestseller, as well as seven other nonfiction books and a screenplay. He has
represented the careers of Bruce Springsteen and Elton John in several capacities.
His articles appear regularly in magazines and newspapers, including The New York
Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and O, The Oprah Magazine,
among others.

Bob Spitz
Additional praise for Dearie:
"The most engaging celebrity biography we've read in years.... Spitz manages to convey the vigor, curiosity, confidence and booming voice of
a truly remarkable woman as if she is sitting at the kitchen table with you.... Spitz is a fantastic writer." -- LA Weekly
"A much-appreciated, well timed gift to us all.... Julia has never been more alive in the hearts and minds of those who grew up with her and
drank her dreams." --The Huffington Post
"Spitz captures another side of [Julia's] complex personality: her fierce diligence in mastering the science as well as the art of cooking through
detailed experimentation and her concern to translate the preparation of complex French recipes for readers in America ... An engrossing
biography of a woman worthy of iconic status." -- Kirkus Review (starred)
"A biography perfectly suited to its subject -- as lively, fascinating, and singular as Julia Child herself." --Daniel Okrent, author of Last Call:
The Rise and Fall of Prohibition
"In this affectionate and entertaining tribute to the witty, down-to-earth, bumptious, and passionate host of The French Chef, Spitz (The
Beatles) exhaustively chronicles Child's life and career from her childhood in California through her social butterfly flitting at Smith and her
work for a Pasadena department store to her stint in government service, her marriage to Paul Child, and her rise to become America's food
darling with the publication of Mastering the Art of French Cooking and her many television shows... Released to coincide with Child's
centenary, Spitz's delightful biography succeeds in being as big as its subject." --Publishers Weekly (starred)

These fascinating, never-before-published early diaries of Count Harry Kessler
present a sweeping panorama of the arts and politics of Belle Époque Europe, a
glittering world poised to be changed irrevocably by the Great War. Kessler's
immersion in the new art and literature of Paris, London, and Berlin unfolds in the first
part of the diaries. This refined world gives way to vivid descriptions of the horrific
fighting on the eastern and western fronts of World War I, the intriguing private
discussions among the German political and military elite about the progress of the
war, as well as Kessler's account of his role as a diplomat with a secret mission in
Switzerland.
Remarkably insightful, poignant, and cinematic in their scope, Kessler's diaries are an
invaluable record of one of the most volatile and seminal moments in modern Western
history.
KESSLER: Passionate, thoughtful, and incisive, Harry Kessler, Zelig-like, is present at all the
major turn-of-the-century events in European art and politics. In Germany, bloggers have
called Kessler "Count Cool."
CAPTURING A MOMENT IN TIME: These diaries cover a seminal moment in cultural and
political history: the beginning of modern dance, music, art, and design--the Ballets Russes;
Impressionism, Art Nouveau; the obsession with Wagner and Nietzsche; the rise and fall of
Bismarck and World War I.
MORE THAN PROUST: Some of the same world, but in Germany: society, love,
homosexuality, art, theater, and music, but much more accessible. Kessler is more
intellectual and also covers politics, diplomacy, and war.
Author Bio: Editor, Laird M. Easton is Chair of the Department of History at California
State University, Chico. His book The Red Count: The Life & Times of Harry Kessler
was named one of the best biographies of 2002 by The Economist and has been
translated into German. He has received numerous awards including a fellowship
from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2007-2008.

Journey to the Abyss
Harry Kessler edited by Laird M. Easton
"Count Harry Kessler became, through his experiences and through the anguished searching of his spirit, something close to a
representative man. He seeks out great artists and gives us memorable portraits of Verlaine in old age, of Degas and Renoir, of
Rodin and Maillol, of Rilke and Hofmannsthal, of Cosima Wagner, of Richard Strauss, of Diaghilev and Nijinsky, and of other
great dancers and theatrical figures of the age. He tells us of the intrigues of the German Imperial Court. The cast list alone
makes this an amazing diary. This is such an important book. It is a great act of historical witness, and a great source of
scandalous insight and gossip." --James Fenton, The Atlantic
"Kessler was a sophisticated aristocrat who knew everyone and understood everything. He rode with Nijinsky in a Paris cab the
night that The Rite of Spring changed artistic history. He could size up a German princess with level-eyed candor. He was
passionate about the arts and politics--and is one of the best observers of his epoch. --Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own
Story and Genet: A Biography
"Take a grand tour through the Belle Époque without leaving your chair . . . Kessler illuminates the innocent world he inhabited in
the years before the horrors of World War I destroy the last vestiges of intelligent 'civilization.' This is a classic book for the ages
to keep and reread." --Kirkus (starred review)
"I have been a huge fan of Harry Kessler since my early youth because of my mother. Even the way I dress is in a way inspired
by him. The eight volumes of his diaries are always near my bedside in my houses. Kessler represents for me Germany at its
best, a Germany now gone forever." --Karl Lagerfeld
"Harry Graf Kessler was a central figure in German cultural life in the early twentieth century and during the Weimar Republic. A
man of many parts, highly educated, a very gifted amateur, a democrat when this was not at all fashionable--he knew everyone,
and everyone knew him. His massive diaries are of absorbing interest, essential reading for all those interested in European
cultural history of the period." --Walter Laqueur, author of The Last Days of Europe: Epitaph for an Old Continent

Ferdinand Ward, the son of a Protestant missionary and small-town pastor, moved
to New York at twenty-one and, in less than a decade, made himself the business
partner of a former president and established himself as the "Young Napoleon of
Finance." In truth, he was running a massive pyramid scheme. Drawing from
thousands of family documents never before examined, Geoffrey C. Ward traces his
great-grandfather's rapid rise to riches and fame, and his even more dizzying fall from
grace, in a narrative populated with mistresses, crooked bankers, corrupt New York
officials, and a desperate kidnapping scheme. Here is a great story about a classic
American con artist.
AWARDS AND RAVE REVIEWS: A Disposition to Be Rich has been named a New York
Times Notable Book of 2012. It received widespread and overwhelmingly positive review
coverage, with many critics noting the uncanny similarities between its subject, Ferdinand
Ward, and Bernie Madoff; the exception being that Ward never accepted blame for a single
one of his many crimes.
ULYSSES S. GRANT AND MORE: An array of famous names populate this story, from Mark
Twain to Charles Dow of Dow Jones fame, to 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown.' Grant's
involvement, in particular, is what gives the story resonance today.
"A vivid account.... Sometimes painful, often amusing, and strikingly well written." --The New
York Review of Books
"An engrossing and entertaining, up-close-and-personal portrait of a compulsive swindler and
sociopath, the Bernard Madoff of the Gilded Age." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Before Bernard Madoff, before Charles Ponzi, there was Ferdinand Ward.... A beguiling
reminder that human nature doesn't change much from one Gilded Age to another, although
each new con merchant brings fresh wrinkles to the racket." --The Wall Street Journal
Author Bio: Geoffrey C. Ward is the coauthor of The Civil War (with Ken Burns and
Ric Burns), and the author of A First-Class Temperament: The Emergence of Franklin
Roosevelt, which won the 1989 National Book Critics Circle Award for biography and
the 1990 Francis Parkman Prize.
Residence: New York, NY
A Disposition to Be Rich
Geoffrey C. Ward
Additional praise for A Disposition to Be Rich:
"A special accomplishment....It took a great-grandson of Ferdinand's, the prizewinning historian Geoffrey C. Ward, to write the scandal-filled
but eminently fair book that airs this dirty laundry....A most peculiar labor of love." --The New York Times
"Thrilling....With a story like this one, no invention was necessary." --Christian Science Monitor
"[Ward's] exhaustive research fills in a portrait of a time and culture that made someone like Ferdinand Ward possible. For some, the
matter-of-fact corruption of the age--and of a Wall Street that played by its own rules--might have a familiar ring." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Compelling....[A] full-speed-ahead tale of Ward's wheeling, dealing and defrauding." --The Seattle Times
"The strength of the book lies in how cleanly Ward meshes the personal with the historical." --Los Angeles Times
"So fast-paced and mesmerizing you might be tempted to call it a rollicking financial thriller, if it didn't end with real suffering." --Richmond
Times-Dispatch
"A remarkably vivid and focused portrait of the age, its biases and follies....No dramatization could match the richness of detail and command
of sources that Ward provides here." --The Dallas Morning News
"Imagine that Bernie Madoff was in business with former President Dwight Eisenhower and that after stealing millions from Warren Buffett,
Madoff left Ike with only $80 to his name. That's what Ferd Ward did to Ulysses S. Grant, but it only begins to describe the perfidy of the
greatest swindler of the 19th Century. Now Ward's great grandson, one of America's finest historians, has redeemed the Ward family name
with this wry and engrossing tale of Gilded Age greed that resonates powerfully in our own time." --Jonathan Alter, author of The Promise:
President Obama, Year One
"Before Charles Ponzi, before Bernie Madoff, there was Ferdinand Ward, the greatest and most audacious schemer of them all. Geoffrey
Ward, his great grandson, had rare access to private papers, accounts, court documents, and the letters of this evil, self-justifying,
mesmerizing sociopath, who went from a poor minister's son to the swindling partner of President Ulysses S. Grant. This is a superb, exciting,
beautifully written book. I couldn't put it down. You won't either." --Barbara Goldsmith, author of Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie
Curie
"Geoffrey Ward has written an astonishing book. Readers will not want to put down his fast-paced account of how his great grandfather, "The
Best-Hated Man in the United States," brought U.S. Grant to ruin. He leaves no doubt that Ferdinand Ward of Grant and Ward was a
scoundrel, but, in this riveting biography, he also raises the fascinating question of why so many Americans in the Gilded Age were so eager
to become dupes." --William E. Leuchtenburg, winner of the Bancroft Prize and the Francis Parkman Prize of the Society of American
Historians
"A gripping story of chicanery in the stock market which drives home the ancient adage, 'Buyer, beware!'" --The Washington Times
"[An] elegant new biography." --T.J. Stiles, The New York Times Book Review
"A Disposition to be Rich is a unique family history that is also a unique literary collaboration." --Louisville Courier-Journal

Author essay and Op-eds
With verve and keen intelligence, Carlin Romano--Pulitzer Prize finalist,
award-winning book critic, and professor of philosophy--takes on the widely held belief
that the United States is an anti-intellectual country. Instead he provides a richly
reported overview of American thought, arguing that ordinary Americans see through
phony philosophical justifications faster than anyone else, and that the best of our
thinkers ditch artificial academic debates for fresh intellectual enterprises. Along the
way, Romano seeks to topple philosophy's most fiercely admired hero, Socrates,
asserting that it is Isocrates, the nearly forgotten Greek philosopher who rejected
certainty, whom Americans should honor as their intellectual ancestor. America the
Philosophical is a rebellious tour de force that both celebrates our country's
unparalleled intellectual energy and promises to bury some of our most hidebound
cultural clichés.
BELOVED AUTHOR, WELL RECEIVED: Romano is a philosophy professor, longtime book
critic, former president of NBCC, Pulitzer Prize finalist in criticism, and wonderful on-air
presence for promotion.
CONTROVERSIAL THESIS: This argues that the wild and woolly American debate on radio
and TV, in books, on college campuses, and everywhere else leads citizens to a very
pragmatic philosophy useful for everyday life; an argument diametrically opposed to books
such as Idiot America and The Age of American Unreason.
RICH CULTURAL TERRAIN MAKES FOR LIVELY READING: From Socrates to Emerson to
Richard Hofstadter to Richard Rorty to Camille Paglia, Romano's argument is both highly
intelligent and wildly entertaining, for both academics and the general reader.
"A high-speed tour of America's big thinkers...Romano is a cheerful and exuberant guide."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Stimulating...Graceful...This exuberant book succeeds in filling one's mind with the
excitement of ideas duking it out." --The Seattle Times
Author Bio: Carlin Romano, Critic-at-Large of The Chronicle of Higher Education and
literary critic of The Philadelphia Inquirer for twenty-five years (1984-2009), is
Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Ursinus College. His criticism has
appeared in The Nation, The New Yorker, The Village Voice, Harper's, The American
Scholar, Salon, The Times Literary Supplement, and many other publications. A
former president of the National Book Critics Circle, he was a finalist for the 2006
Pulitzer Prize in Criticism, cited for "bringing new vitality to the classic essay across a
formidable array of topics."
Residence: Philadelphia, PA

Carlin Romano
Additional praise for America the Philosophical:
"Ambitious...Romano is enlightening when he analyzes American intellectual life and illustrates its liveliness." --The New York Times Book
Review (cover)
"Fascinating portraits of unjustly obscure intellectual figures, curated by a writer with a talent for the telling example." --The Cleveland Plain
Dealer
"In an age when many debates are high-pitched screeds, how counterintuitive it is to argue that American philosophical thought is booming.
But that's trademark Romano...Romano turns this subject into a narrative of people brought together through their love of ideas." --The
Chicago Tribune
"Both scholarly and entertaining--learned and stimulating--to an equal and extraordinary degree....One of the best books of the year....A
hugely enlightening compendium of intellectual heresy." --The Buffalo News
"Admirable...Romano writes with the snap of a journalist." --The Wall Street Journal
"Carlin Romano's review of the American contribution to real philosophical thinking is genuinely exciting and provocative. If Romano wanted
to discombobulate the traditional landscape of American philosophy, he managed to achieve his goal." --Umberto Eco
"Comprehensive and certain to be controversial...Romano's grip on his subject is fierce....A tour de force--encyclopedic, entertaining and
enlightening." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Engaging...With illuminating anecdotes and an addictive prose style, Romano renders complex ideas lucid without sacrificing depth of
understanding or his splendid sense of humor. His breathtaking intellectual range and passion will make every reader want to be a
philosopher." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This wide-ranging survey is likely to be of interest to all readers interested in philosophy and American thought in the 20th and 21st
centuries." --Library Journal

Dewey Defeats Truman
Thomas Mallon
TARGET CONSUMER: For readers of historical fiction about American history,
politics, elections, and the presidency. For fans of Thomas Mallon's previous
novels, including Watergate and Fellow Travelers.
A masterful retelling of a legend and famous headline of modern American
history--Harry Truman's upset victory over Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948
presidential election.
Set in Dewey's hometown of Owosso, Michigan, this is the captivating story of a
local love triangle that mirrors the national election contest. As the voters must decide
between the candidates, so must Anne Macmurray choose between two suitors: an
ardent United Auto Workers organizer and his polar opposite, a wealthy young
Republican lawyer who's running for the state senate. Weaving a tapestry of
small-town secrets, the people of Owosso ready themselves for the fame that is
bound to shower down upon them after Dewey's "sure thing" victory. But as the
novel--and history--move toward election night, we watch the townspeople, along with
Anne and her suitors, have their fates rearranged in a climax filled with suspense,
chagrin and unexpected joy.

Dewey Defeats Truman
Thomas Mallon
Additional Praise for Thomas Mallon's Dewey Defeats Truman:
"A fine novel, one that snared me in its blithe madness.... I like to relax with a good read, in the Trollopian sense: a novel that bristles with
local politics, that pulls me deeply into a finely textured web of human relations and won't let me go. I can recommend Thomas Mallon's latest
book, Dewey Defeats Truman, as a suitably Trollopian piece of fiction." --Jay Parini, The New York Times Book Review
"It's fueled by a sense of period detail so strong that reading it seems at times like paging through an old high school yearbook...I enjoyed the
wit and precision with which Mallon presents this world." --Michael Gorra, Boston Sunday Globe
"Charming...what makes Mallon's novel especially appealing is its atmosphere and authenticity." --Chicago Tribune
"Mallon's prose is always rich and economical.... Dewey Defeats Truman is the kind of novel that restores meaning to the present by
recovering the past." --San Francisco Chronicle
"[A] beautifully controlled novel.... Mallon has so meticulously re-created a time and place that even trivial data has the force of nothing less
than truth.... Mallon's complicated meditation on the trials of private and public identity is beautifully fashioned. Its tale of yesteryear tells
America a little bit about what it is today." --Publishers Weekly

Henry and Clara
Thomas Mallon
TARGET CONSUMER: For readers of historical fiction about America. For
anyone interested in Lincoln's assassination, the Civil War and the 19th
century. For fans of Thomas Mallon's previous novels, including Watergate and
Fellow Travelers.
On the evening of Good Friday, 1865, Henry Rathbone and Clara Harris joined
the Lincolns in the Presidential box at Ford's Theater, becoming eyewitnesses
to one of the great tragedies of American history.
In this riveting novel, Thomas Mallon re-creates the unusual love story of this
young engaged couple whose fateful encounter with history profoundly affects the
remainder of their lives. Lincoln's assassination is only one part of the remarkable life
they share, a dramatic tale of passion, scandal, heroism, murder, and madness, all
based on Mallon's deep research into the fascinating history of the Rathbone and
Harris families. Henry and Clara not only tells the astonishing story of its title figures; it
also illuminates the culture of nineteenth-century Victorian America: a rigid society
barely concealing the suppressed impulses and undercurrents that only grew stronger
as the century progressed.

With a spectacular career in the Senate and a reputation as one of the most gifted
politicians of his time, Johnson's maneuver for the presidency seemed like the natural
next step. But the nomination would instead go to the young senator from
Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy. With deep insight and taut storytelling, Caro
reveals the machinations behind the nomination, and the decision to make Johnson
the running mate. Johnson's vice presidency was filled with humiliations, power
struggles, and thwarted efforts--until an assassin's bullet propelled him to the highest
office in the land. With the masterful Caro as our guide, we watch as Johnson creates
history: pushing through landmark legislation on civil rights, launching the War on
Poverty, and making the presidency wholly his own.

Robert A. Caro
More praise for Passage of Power:
"Riveting.... elevates Caro's tale to Shakespearean drama, as the coldhearted, Machiavellian maneuvering and hot-blooded rivalries of
supremely ambitious men play out with the fate of the free world at stake." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
"One of the most ambitious single-handed literary enterprises in our time.... Written with a reporter's eye for story and personal
testimony...demonstrates again that journalism is at its best in retrospect. It has won the highest praise on all sides, and deserves every word
of it." --The Times Literary Supplement (London)
"Majestic.... This slice of American history is well known. But with Caro's narration, it burns anew. In his writing, Caro does not merely
recount. He beckons. Single sentences turn into winding, brimming paragraphs, clauses upon clauses tugging at the reader, layering the
scenery with character intrigue and the plot with historical import. The result is irresistible." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Caro has once again shown that he might well be the greatest presidential historian we've ever had.... Although the amount of research Caro
has done for these books is staggering, it's his immense talent as a writer that has made his biography of Johnson one of America's most
amazing literary achievements." --NPR Books
"Caro's strength as a biographer is his ability to probe Johnson's mind and motivations.... Riveting." --The Economist
"Caro's Churchill-like prose elevates the life of a fairly influential president to stuff worthy of Shakespeare.... Robert Caro stands alone as the
unquestioned master of the contemporary American political biography." --The Boston Globe
"An addictive read, written in glorious prose that suggests the world's most diligent beat reporter channeling William Faulkner. Passage is an
essential document of a turning point in American history. It's also an incisive portrait of one great, terrible, fascinating man suddenly given
the chance to reinvent the country in his image." --Entertainment Weekly
"The Years of Lyndon Johnson, when completed, will rank as America's most ambitiously conceived, assiduously researched and
compulsively readable political biography.... When Caro's fifth volume arrives, readers' gratitude will be exceeded only by their regret that
there will not be a sixth." --George F. Will
"A searing account of ambition derailed by personal demons.... Caro combines the skills of a historian, an investigative reporter and a novelist
in this searching study of the transformative effect of power.... 'The Passage of Power' quite possibly will stand as Robert Caro's finest
moment." --Los Angeles Times
"A great work of history.... A great biography.... Caro has summoned Lyndon Johnson to vivid, intimate life." --Newsweek
"One of the greatest biographies in the history of American letters." --Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Riveting.... Masterful.... An insightful account of what it means and what it takes to occupy the Oval Office." --Kansas City Star
"Brilliant biography, gripping history, searing political drama and an incomparable study of power.... After thousands of pages spent with
Lyndon Johnson, one of Caro's singular achievements is that you want more." -- Newsday
"As riveting as a thriller....The next book will crown an achievement in presidential biography unmatched among presidential histories."
--Houston Chronicle

Seating Arrangements
Reading Line: A novel
Maggie Shipstead
TARGET CONSUMER: Fans of smart literary fiction with a satiric bite. Readers
who are looking for the next great summer book. New Englanders. Anyone who
has ever gotten married or been in a wedding.
Maggie Shipstead's Seating Arrangements is a stunning debut, the story of a
summer New England wedding weekend that goes awry.
Winn Van Meter is heading for his family's retreat on the pristine island of
Waskeke. Normally a haven of calm, the sanctuary will be overrun for the next three
days by tipsy revelers as Winn prepares for the marriage of his daughter Daphne to
the affable young scion Greyson Duff. Winn's wife, Biddy, has planned the wedding
with military precision, but arrangements are sideswept by a storm of unforseen
developments: Daphne's sister, Livia, who has recently had her heart broken by the
son of her father's oldest rival, is an eager target for the seductive wiles of Greyson's
best man; Winn, instead of reveling in his patriarchal duties, is tormented by his
long-standing crush on Daphne's beguiling bridesmaid Agatha; and the bride and
groom find themselves presiding over a spectacle of misplaced desire, marital
infidelity, and monumental loss of faith in the rituals of American life.

Seating Arrangements
Maggie Shipstead
"Smart and frothy . . . Beneath the surface of this summery romp lie animosities, well-paced sexual suspense and a clash
between appearances and authenticity . . . . Waltzlike." --New York Times Book Review
"Whipsmart and engaging...the best kind of smart beach read." --O, The Oprah Magazine
"Dead-on delightful...a champagne-fueled, saltwater-scented comedy of upper-crust New England manners and mores."
--National Geographic Traveler
"Elegant, delightful... Shipstead's sentences simmer and crackle on the page." --San Francisco Chronicle
"This is one of those rare debut novels that neither forsakes plot for language nor language for plot. It is gratifying on every
scale...The novel is teeming with the sort of casual philosophizing that encourages passage-underlining and earnest
recommendation." --The Boston Globe
"Funny and dark and poignant--sometimes all at once. Shisptead is a gifted storyteller whose richly realized characters and
sweetly flowing prose coalesce into a tale that is by parts sweet and sharp, humorous and heartbreaking. It's an auspicious
debut by an undeniably talented writer." --The Maine Edge
"Zestful yet acerbic...for all its madcap quirkiness, Shipstead's adroit escapade artfully delivers a poignant reflection on the
enduring if frustrating nature of love, hope, and family." --Booklist
"A pitch-perfect debut from a master storyteller, Seating Arrangements is a rich and deep work: a smart, consuming novel that
manages also to be delightfully funny. A romp of a book, with whales and weddings and wealth, it is, at its heart, a warning
against the empty seductions of status and exclusivity." --Justin Torres, author of We the Animals

The Dog Stars
Peter Heller
TARGET CONSUMER: A post-apocalyptic novel for male and female readers of
literary fiction. Fans of novels with distinctive narrators and survival stories.
Dog lovers and airplane buffs.
The riveting debut novel from acclaimed adventure writer Peter Heller, in which
a pilot survives a ruined world only to risk everything to rediscover, against all
odds, the capacity for love and hope.
Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are
dead, and he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog. His only
neighbor, Bangley, is a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the
perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and pretend that things
are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams
through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists
beyond the airport. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows
the trail of the static-broken voice. But what he encounters and what he must face is
both better and worse than anything he could have hoped for.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER: The Dog Stars appeared on the New York Times bestseller list,
climbing as high as #13. It also appeared on the lists of ABA IndieBound, the Los Angeles
Times, Publishers Weekly, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
BEST OF THE YEAR: The Dog Stars was an Atlantic Monthly and San Francisco Chronicle
best book of the year
ONE-OF-A-KIND: The Dog Stars has all of the hallmarks of an exciting post-apocalyptic
novel, but there's a warmth and compassion to the writing that makes it stand out from the
crowd even as it has readers on the edge of their seats.
PRAISE: The critics have embraced Peter Heller's debut novel, calling it, among other things,
"a ravishing doomsday novel" (San Francisco Chronicle), "a post-apocalyptic adventure novel
with the soul of haiku" (The Columbus Dispatch), and "an insightful account of physical,
mental, and spiritual survival unfolded in dramatic and often lyrical prose" (The Boston
Globe).
"For all those who thought Cormac McCarthy's The Road the last word on the
post-apocalyptic world-- think again.... Make time and space for this savage, tender, brilliant
book." --Glen Duncan, author of The Last Werewolf
Author Bio: Peter Heller holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in both
fiction and poetry. He is a longtime contributor to NPR, Outside magazine, Men's
Journal, and National Geographic Adventure. His previous books include Kook; The
Whale Warriors; and Hell or High Water: Surviving Tibet's Tsangpo Gorge.

The Dog Stars
Peter Heller
"With its soulful hero, macabre villains, tender love story and action scenes staggered at perfectly spaced intervals, [The Dog
Stars] unfolds with the vigor of the film it will undoubtedly become. But it also succeeds as a dark, poetic and funny novel in its
own right." --Jennifer Reese, NPR
Though it is punctuated by intensely violent outbursts, once these recede into the background, Heller's novel can approach
moments of quiet, poetic beauty." --Dallas News
"A book that rests easily on shelves with Dean Koontz, Jack London or Hemingway. The prose in this novel is anything but
conventional. It often is painfully beautiful as the story lapses into arching poetic verse when Hig is pushed to the very depths of
despair, yet still he retains hope. The Dog Stars illustrates the strength of bonds that can be formed between men, the fierce
companionship between man and dog, and the inner-struggle of a survivor's guilt with gut-wrenching clarity. . . . It's a tale of
humanity after Doomsday, from an author who's not afraid to step out of his comfort zone." --The Missourian
"Heller is a masterful storyteller and The Dog Stars is a beautiful tribute to the resilience of nature and the relentless human drive
to find meaning and deep connections with life and the living. In this chillingly realistic post-apocalyptic setting, readers will root
for Heller's characters and be moved by their toughness as well as their tenderness." --Julianna Baggott, author of Pure
"Take the sensibility of Hemingway. Or James Dickey. Place it in a world where a flu mutation has wiped out ninety-nine percent
of the population. Add in a heartbroken man with a fishing rod, some guns, a small plane. Don't forget the dog. Now imagine this
man retains more hope than might be wise in such a battered and brutal time. More trust. More hunger for love--more capacity
for it, too. That's what Peter Heller has given us in his beautifully written first novel. The Dog Stars is a gripping tale of one man's
fight for survival against impossibly long odds. A man who has lost nearly everything but his soul. And what's so moving about
Heller's book is that he shows us how sometimes a big soul is the only thing a man needs: the keystone, the center pillar, the
hunk of masonry upon which all else will rise or fall." --Scott Smith, author of A Simple Plan and The Ruins
"Fresh . . . quiet, meditative . . . . It's the people [Hig] meets when he least expects to who change everything, proving a truth we
know from our everyday nonfictional lives: Even when it seems like all the humans in the world are only out for themselves, there
are always those few who prove you absolutely wrong--in the most surprising of ways." --Oprah.com

Lionel Asbo
State of England
Martin Amis
TARGET CONSUMER: Fans of Martin Amis, of contemporary British literature,
of wickedly entertaining social commentary, of provocative literary fiction.
From the acclaimed author of Money and London Fields, an exuberant
Dickensian satire of crime, celebrity, and modern culture.
Des Pepperdine is a boy out of place. He lives on the thirty-third floor of a London
housing project; while his peers pick fights, Des retreats to the public library. What's
more, Des's uncle and guardian, Lionel Asbo, is one of the most notorious petty
criminals in the city. Yet Lionel, full of inept devotion to his nephew, dutifully teaches
Des the essentials of becoming a man (always carry a knife; pornography is easier
than dating; pit bulls should be fed Tabasco sauce). To survive these lessons, Des
seeks solace in a covert romantic affair that would fill Lionel with rage. But just as Des
begins to lead a healthier life, Lionel wins £140 million in the lottery. The money
ushers in a public-relations firm for Lionel, along with a cannily ambitious topless
model-poet. Through it all, Lionel remains his vicious, oddly loyal self, and his
problems, as well as Des's, only seem to multiply.

AMIS IN TOP FORM: On everybody's list of England's greatest living writers, Martin Amis has
written what is arguably his finest novel yet. Compulsively readable, constantly hilarious,
often frightening, and strangely touching, it is as grand an achievement as Money and
London Fields.
SALES: Nineteen of Amis's books have been published here, and they have sold hundreds of
thousands of copies in Vintage paperback.
AUTHOR: Amis is endlessly promotable. Now that he is living in New York, he is far more
available for events. His enormous reputation, as well as his controversial nature, has
brought plentiful opportunities for the hardcover, and requests will continue to pour in for the
paperback.
Praise for Lionel Asbo:
"One of Amis's funniest novels--in a league with 'Money' and 'London Fields.' Amis, like his
heroes Nabokov and Bellow, writes exuberant, ecstatic prose. His ear is precisely tuned, and
his sentences--in narration and dialogue--are lethal.... (Reader alert: Asbo delivers the most
hilarious wedding speech in the history of English literature.)" --The New Yorker
"Amis's language is electric, his wit as sharp and precise than it has been in a decade."
--USA Today
"Full of heart and warmth...an unexpected reward for readers." --People
Author Bio: Martin Amis is the author of twelve previous novels, the memoir
Experience, two collections of stories, and six nonfiction books.

"At heart an old-fashioned novel.... Amis is, like Dickens, an insistently moral writer, satire being an edifying genre with a noble cause: the
improvement of society." --The New York Times Book Review
"Breathtaking.... A great big confidence trick of a novel--an attack that turns into an embrace--a book that looks at us, laughs at us, looks at us
harder, closer, and laughs at us harder and still more savagely. It is every inch the novel that we all deserve. So let's give thanks that Martin
Amis was bad enough and brave enough to write it." --The Guardian (London)
"Shockingly, savagely funny.... Martin Amis represents the best of contemporary British literature--serious, hilarious, unsettling and
provocative." --Huffington Post
"Lionel Asbo bears a strong resemblance to the trio of novels...that made Amis' reputation.... But Lionel Asbo may be even better than these
ambitious works of fiction, more disciplined, funnier and more inventive.... To say that it is a return to form is an understatement--it might be
his finest work." --The Denver Post
"Full of Amis' trademark virtuoso prose and wit.... Technically brilliant, dazzling in style, manic in energy and driven by a narrative momentum
impossible to resist." --The Toronto Star
"Little in fiction is more entertaining than Martin Amis at his pithy best." --The Plain Dealer
"Amis' portrait of someone who feeds Tabasco-splashed meat to his pit bulls in order to enrage them and toughen them up is surprisingly
tender.... Fond, too, is Amis' approach to Asbo's mixed-race nephew, who serves as the vehicle for the moral conclusion of what in form is in
fact not satire but a fairytale...Amis' plea...would seem to be that nobody is beyond redemption." --The Daily Beast
"An Amis sentence is mordant and coruscating, unpredictable and unruly, its own singular music. No surprise, these creations gather into
paragraphs of propulsive insights, mini-essays in satiric spin and compression. There may be no better paragraph writer in the language,
either.... The novel mingles in genuine characters with the usual comedic grotesques, and is tender, almost earnest, in its emotions." --The
Globe and Mail (Toronto)
"Crackles with brilliant prose and scathing satire.... He riffs like a jazz master, in and out of vernacular, with brief gusts of description, all
driven by a tight bass line of suspense." -- Publishers Weekly
"In his 13th novel--one of his most compulsively readable--wily, dead-on satirist and consummate artist Martin Amis is grandly acerbic, funny
and unnerving.... With crisp insights, rollicking storytelling and acrobatic wit, Amis has created a peppery, topsy-turvy Pygmalion fable and
hilarious dismantlement of our cherished rags-to-riches fantasy." --Kansas City Star

Charles Yu
TARGET CONSUMER: For fan of George Saunders. Readers of classic sci-fi as
filtered through David Foster Wallace. Kurt Vonnegut disciples. Jonathan
Lethem lovers. And browsers of io9 and Wired Magazine.
The author of the widely praised debut novel How to Live Safely in a Science
Fictional Universe returns with a hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly original
collection of short stories.
A big-box store employee is confronted by a zombie during the graveyard shift, a
problem that pales in comparison to his inability to ask a coworker out on a date. . . .
A fighter leads his band of virtual warriors, thieves, and wizards across a deadly
computer-generated landscape. . . . A company outsources grief for profit, their
tagline: "Don't feel like having a bad day? Let someone else have it for you." Drawing
from both pop culture and science, Charles Yu is a brilliant observer of contemporary
society, filling his stories with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and piercing insight
into the human condition. He has already garnered comparisons to such masters as
Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams, and in Sorry Please Thank You, we have
resounding proof of a major new voice in American fiction.

Sorry Please Thank You
Charles Yu
More Praise for SORRY PLEASE THANK YOU:
"There's some of the cerebral gamesmanship of Jonathan Lethem, the resigned sadness of Kurt Vonnegut, the Phil Dickian paranoiac
distrust of consumer culture. But Yu's voice, sensibility and approach are unique, especially in the ways he wrings humor and pathos out of
stripped-down syntax and seemingly passive protagonists . . . . The stories deliver more than their fair share of bitter laughs, philosophical
conundrums and existential gut punches."--San Francisco Chronicle
"Yu's workman-like sentences are unexpectedly emotive, while also being almost always very funny. . . . Imaginary lands become possible
worlds; cunning tricks grow into game theory; playing pretend morphs into explorations of false consciousness. Each story is staggeringly
smart, and none feel like anything but entertainment. Cultish fans of the NBC comedy "Community,'' this book is for you."--The Boston Globe
"Lovely and heartfelt . . . . A brilliantly manic ride. . . . Yu has an undeniable gift for describing, in clean, economical prose, the mechanics of
things that don't exist or are impossible."--The Wall Street Journal
"Stand back. The lead story in Sorry Please Thank You, this spritely new collection by L.A. writer Charles Yu, has the title 'Standard
Loneliness Package' and it announces that a sly, nimble fantasist with a speculative edge is at work here. [An] adroit piece of work . . . .
Experiment plus emotion, we don't often find these two elements together, but when it happens, as it does in most of these stories . . . it
makes for terrific reading for the heart as well as the head." --Alan Cheuse for NPR's All Things Considered
"[These] stories are psychological studies of neurotic nerds, struggling to stay alive as they fight liches and loneliness. They're beautiful,
strange, and funny."--io9.com
"Charles Yu's new collection of stories mixes humor and clever conceits with a perfect deadpan delivery . . . . Sharp, crisp insights that will
have you chuckling and shaking your head."--Los Angeles Times
"Looking for the next great voice in fiction? Young author Charles Yu's short stories beg comparisons to Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams,
but he's funnier than both." --Men's Health
"Entertaining. . . . Like a friend who stops by unexpectedly with a bunch of mind-bending tales to share. . . . had me laughing. . . . Go order a
copy." --Geekdad, Wired.com
"The author behind three of the most unusual books of fiction published in the past five years. . . . Untraditional but weirdly glorious narratives
that, for all their experimental form, end up carrying as much or even more emotional force as your original, more conventional vessel would
have."--Poets and Writers
"Laugh-out-loud moments of strangeness artfully exist in a contemporary fictional structure. . . . With this collection, steeped in originality, we
get echoes of David Foster Wallace's early collection, Girl with the Curious Hair. Like Wallace, Yu abandons the more self-serving, insular
metafiction of the past 40 years for a fresher form. . . . Yu mixes the beauty of human emotion with the science fiction to invent highly original,
highly entertaining scenes and stories. . . . These stories, through their science fiction and futuristic themes twinned with a humorous yet
moving style, strive to reinvent what we know as metafiction. . . . Yu follows Vonnegut and Wallace in this style of metafictional, literary
pilgrimage"--Paste Magazine
"Grade A-. . . . Pick it up and kiss your weekend good-bye."--Boston Phoenix

Global Weirdness summarizes everything we know about the science of climate
change, explains what is likely to happen to the climate in the future, and lays out, in
practical terms, what we can do to avoid further shifts. In fifty easy-to-read entries,
Climate Central, Inc. tackles basic questions such as: Is climate ever "normal"? Why
and how do fossil-fuel burning and other human practices produce greenhouse
gases? What natural forces have caused climate change in the past? What risks does
climate change pose for human health? What accounts for the diminishment of
mountain glaciers and small ice caps around the world since 1850? What are the
economic costs and benefits of reducing carbon emissions? Illustrated throughout
with clarifying graphics, Global Weirdness enlarges our understanding of how climate
change affects our daily lives, and arms us with the incontrovertible facts we need to
make informed decisions about the future of the planet, and of humankind.
CLARITY ON A CONFUSING SUBJECT: Polls show that there are low levels of public
understanding and concern vis-à-vis climate change, arguably because debates and
controversies about its existence and the science have been at once contentious and
confusing. Written with unimpeachable authority, this book offers clarity itself.
AUTHORITATIVE: The science explained in Global Weirdness has been vetted by scientists
at, among other institutions, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Duke, the University of Pennsylvania,
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Climatic Data Center, and
the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
MEDIA: Snowstorms in October. Devastating hurricanes. Tornadoes in New York City.
Severe drought in Texas--our increasingly unpredictible weather will provide ample media
opportunities.
"Slim and elegant...written in the kind of plain English of which Strunk and White would
approve, that lays out what we know about climate change while hewing to the facts and
taking great care to avoid bias and hysteria." --The New York Times
Author Bio: This book was produced collectively by scientists and journalists at
Climate Central, a nonprofit, nonpartisan science and journalism organization. The
book was written by Emily Elert and Michael D. Lemonick; prior to external scientific
peer review, it was reviewed by staff scientists Philip Duffy, Ph.D. (Chief Scientist),
Nicole Heller, Ph.D. (ecosystems and adaptation), Alyson Kenward, Ph.D.
(chemistry), Eric Larson, Ph.D. (energy systems), and Claudia Tebaldi, Ph.D. (climate
statistics).

Additional Praise for Global Weirdness:
"Without talking down to readers, the authors do a masterful job of clarifying all aspects of a complicated and alarming topic, making it that
much more difficult for global-warming denialists to keep their heads in the sand." --Booklist (starred review)
"With quippy titles, helpful summaries, and a jargon-free writing style, Climate Central integrates scientific, historical, and sociological facts in
an appealing and informative manner.... A great starter text on climate-change issues--fans of Bill McKibben will enjoy this work and then
pass it along to skeptical friends." --Library Journal
"An ideal introduction to the facts about global warming...Lucidly written and thoughtful." --Kirkus Reviews
"An easily digestible read, with most chapters less than three pages long. Divided into four sections ('What the Science Says,' 'What's
Actually Happening,' 'What's Likely to Happen in the Future,' and 'Can We Avoid the Risks of Climate Change?'), the book covers all the
basics, including descriptions of Earth's previous climates and how hard it is for different cultures to adjust to changes; the difference between
weather and climate; the greenhouse effect; and how climate scientists' predictions are coming true." --Publishers Weekly
"Written in straightforward prose and fact-checked by the world's eminent climate scholars, Global Weirdness reads like the 9/11 Commission
Report: all of the facts, none of the hyperbole. In four succinct sections, its authors detail the truth about climate change." --CBS Smart Planet
"A breath of fresh air: just the facts, efficient and easy to understand. It'll be within arm's reach of my own desk." --Scientific American
"Global Weirdness is probably the weirdest book about global warming you're going to read...because it's nonpartisan, making absolutely
zero attempts to agitate for legislation." --Time Out Chicago
"So welcome...explains climate change in simple, easy-to-understand language and ultrashort chapters." --Mark Bittman, The New York

The Divine Comedy
Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso
Dante Alighieri
TARGET CONSUMER: Dante readers looking for an elegant, affordable,
single-volume edition. Dan Brown fans who want to immerse themselves in the
classic work that inspired his latest novel.
A newly reissued Vintage Classics edition of the Medieval epic poem in a
perennially popular, accessible English translation -- the unabridged
Carlyle-Okey-Wicksteed version, with full notes.
Dante's Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso) relates the allegorical tale
of the poet's journey through the three realms of the dead. Accompanied through the
Inferno and Purgatorio by Virgil--author of the Roman epic the Aeniad--Dante
encounters mythical, historical, and contemporaneous figures in their respective
afterlives. Relying on classical (pagan) mythology and Christian imagery and
theology, Dante imagines diverse vivid and inventive punishments for the various
sinners he encounters, which have become part of the Western imagination.

Upon their approach to Paradiso, which as a pagan, no matter how worthy, the
Latin poet cannot enter, Virgil relinquishes his role as guide to Beatrice. Dante's
chaste beloved accompanies him along the ascent, as they encounter the blessed
and the holy, and Dante arrives at a vision of the heavenly paradise.
TIMELY: The inspiration for Dan Brown's latest opus, Inferno (DD hardcover, May 14, 2013,
ISBN: 978-0-385-53785-8), THE DIVINE COMEDY will undoubtedly be of interest to his
many readers, seeking a "key" to the mysteries he illuminates.
FRESH NEW PACKAGE: Continuing in our successsful Vintage Classics repackaging
program, this new edition of THE DIVINE COMEDY will feature a fresh, contemporary cover.
This edition will replace the previous rack-size edition.
CLASSIC: Almost since its inception Dante's DIVINE COMEDY has been recognized as a
permanent fixture in world literature. This is the classic unabridged translation by John Aitken
Carlyle, Thomas Okey, and Philip Henry Wicksteed, with full notes.
ACCESSIBLE: Our classic English version has been a mainstay of the Vintage backlist since
the beginning (1955). Careful, clear, and above all readable, this version does not attempt to
emulate the form of the original, but rather to accurately reflect the meaning of the original
Italian. At the same time, though not strictly "poetic," the translation remains mellifluous and a
pleasure to read. Synopses of each section and details about the medieval world view
reflected in the poem contribnute to the modern reader's fuller enjoyment of the work.
"The English Dante of choice." -Hugh Kenner
"Exactly what we have waited for these years, a Dante with clarity, eloquence, terror,
and profoundly moving depths." -Robert Fagles, Princeton University
"A marvel of fidelity to the original, of sobriety, and truly, of inspired poetry." -Henri
Peyre, Yale University
Author Bio: Dante Alighieri, born in Florence, Italy, c. 1265, is considered one of the
world's greatest poets. His use of the Florentine dialect established it as the basis for
modern Italian. Above all, his late medieval epic, The Divine Comedy was inspired, as
was all his poetry, by his unrequited love for Beatrice, a woman he may have seen
only from afar. He died in 1321, having completed his great work, yet an exile from his
native city.

For Waldemar Leverkuhn, a retiree living with his wife in an unassuming block of
apartments, the day couldn't begin more auspiciously. He and three friends have won
the lottery. It's a modest but healthy sum of money and the old men toast to their good
luck with a celebratory dinner. The day ends, however, with Leverkuhn drunk,
stumbling, belligerent, and eventually dead in his bed, stabbed twenty-eight times in
the chest with a carving knife. After a cursory investigation that only leads to more
questions than answers, Leverkuhn's quiet, weary wife confesses to her husband's
murder. The case seems to have solved itself, but when the Leverkuhns' formidable
neighbor Else Van Eck goes missing and is later discovered murdered in gruesome
fashion, Detective Münster and his team find themselves back in the fog and chasing
after wisps of clues that indicate that the murders are inextricably linked.
GROWING FAN BASE: Paperback sales on Nesser's previous Inspector Van Veeteren
novels have been steadily climbing as we've built the series.
MEDIA ATTENTION: Nesser's U.S. audience also continues to grow as his name is
increasingly mentioned in the same breath as Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, and Jo Nesbø.
A NEW DETECTIVE TO LOVE: As Van Veeteren has officially retired from the force,
Intendent Münster now comes to the fore. Like Van Veeteren he's a deeply likeable,
well-rounded character who will doubtlessly inspire readers' loyalty.
"Håkan Nesser returns to the Scandinavian dark and gloom, with a new lead investigator in a
murder case where the unexpected trumps the ordinary." --Shelf Awareness
"Sterling.... Gallows humor punctuates the solid plot as Münster's introspective musings lead
to a surprise ending." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Author Bio: Håkan Nesser has been awarded numerous prizes including the
Swedish Crime Writers' Academy Prize and the Crime Writers of Scandinavia's Glass
Key Award for best crime novel of the year.

A few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, spook-turned-novelist Edwin
Lemaster reveals to up-and-coming journalist Bill Cage that he'd once considered
spying for the enemy. For Cage, a fan who grew up as a Foreign Service brat in the
very cities where Lemaster set his plots, the story creates a brief but embarrassing
sensation. More than two decades later, Cage, by then a lonely, disillusioned PR
man, receives an anonymous note hinting that he should have dug deeper. Spiked
with cryptic references to some of his and his father's favorite old spy novels, the note
is the first piece of a puzzle that will lead him back to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest
in search of the truth, even as the events of Lemaster's past eerily--and
dangerously--begin intersecting with those of his own. Why is beautiful Litzi Strauss
back in his life after thirty years? How much of his father's job involved the CIA? Did
Bill, as a child, become a pawn? As the suspense steadily increases, a long chain of
secrets may finally be broken.
ACCLAIM: An NPR Best Book of the Year, a Seattle Times Best Mystery of the Year, and a
Times of London Best Crime/Thriller Book of the Year
THRILLER TIE-INS: The narrative is peppered with references to classics of the genre by
Eric Ambler, Len Deighton, John le Carré, and more.
AUTHOR: Fesperman is known for crafting smart thrillers with character and place as well
developed as his nail-biting plots.
THE RETURN OF THE COLD WAR SPY THRILLER: This book is best compared to the Cold
War-era works of John le Carré and Len Deighton, a genre that is experiencing a revival in
the popular consciousness.
"Thrilling.... A spy novel about spy novels, calculated to deliver a maximum dose of fun for the
genre fan.... Breezing through The Double Game is like encountering 30 spy classics." --The
Daily Beast
"I haven't read as fiendishly clever a spy story as The Double Game in a long, long time."
--Adam Woog, The Seattle Times
"The Double Game is not just a spy novel--it's a love letter to the genre, renditioning the
unwary reader and dropping him into a dizzying pastiche of classic espionage, cleverly
woven into a thrilling story. Brilliantly executed and a joy from start to finish." --Olen
Steinhauer, author of An American Spy
Author Bio: Dan Fesperman's travels as a writer have taken him to thirty countries
and three war zones. Lie in the Dark won the Crime Writers' Association of Britain's
John Creasey Memorial Dagger Award for best first crime novel, The Small Boat of
Great Sorrows won their Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for best thriller, and The

Three Strong Women
A novel
Marie NDiaye
TARGET CONSUMER: For readers drawn to powerful, dynamic female
characters and family sagas dealing with subjects like immigration, cultural
differences, and strength in the face of extreme adversity. For fans of
international award-winning literary fiction.
From Marie NDiaye, the first black woman to win the Prix Goncourt, a harrowing
and beautiful novel of the travails of West African immigrants in France.
The story of three women who say no: Norah, a French-born lawyer who finds
herself in Senegal, summoned by her estranged father to save another victim of his
paternity; Fanta, who leaves a contented life as a teacher in Dakar to follow her
boyfriend back to France, where his depression and dislocation poison everything;
and Khady, a penniless widow put out by her husband's family with nothing but the
name of a distant cousin in France. As these three lives intertwine, each woman
manages an astonishing feat of self-preservation against those who have made
themselves the fastest-growing and most-reviled people in Europe. In Marie NDiaye's
stunning narration we see the progress by which ordinary women discover
unimagined reserves of strength.

Marie NDiaye
Additional Praise for Three Strong Women:
"Gorgeous, fearless prose...NDiaye's storytelling approaches something of the power and simplicity of folklore. There is good and evil here,
and as in the world they are blended confusingly and only slowly revealed. In the interplay between Europe and Africa, between men and
women, NDiaye finds both beauty and beast." --The Boston Globe
"Hypnotic...Powerful...Compelling...[NDiaye] is an impressive stylist with a strong voice.... A novel that examines bravely and from both sides
the collision of Europe and Africa." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Rich, sensuous.... A rare novel, capturing the grand scope of migration, from Africa to Europe and back, and the inner lives of very different
people caught between pride and despair." --NPR
"A tenuously linked tripartite novel that is more than the sum of its parts is a hard act to pull off. Marie NDiaye, one of France's most exciting
prose stylists and playwrights, succeeds with elegance, grit and some painful comedy in Three Strong Women.... Its three heroines have an
unassailable sense of their own self-worth, while their psychological battles have an almost mythic resonance.... The prose compels with
astonishing range and precision." --The Guardian (UK)
"NDiaye's quiet intelligence is made apparent by the complexity of her characters and her intuitive prose in this subtly beautiful novel."
--Publishers Weekly
"Compelling...NDiaye dissects her characters with impressive forensic detail, the subtlest speech inflection or gesture put under the
microscope.... The language has an hypnotic emotional intensity...the novel has a passion, daring and individuality." --The Independent (UK)
"Sinewy and sardonic, combining realism and fable in a way that mixes Kafka and Cinderella...Three Strong Women is full of NDiaye's
narrative gusto, stylistic virtuosity and command of tone.... The power the stories reveal is that of self-knowledge, self-belief and endurance."
--Times Literary Supplement (UK)
"A beautiful novel...NDiaye's writing is extraordinarily powerful, and she is very well served by John Fletcher's elegant, economical
translation." --The Times (UK)
"The beauty of her language, the strange force of her inspiration, her mastery of narrative have established her as one of the important
figures in French literature...[she] opens up the mysterious world of the most secret thoughts." --Le Monde
"Between Africa and France, her enchanted heroines, cursed by history, cast their nets, and glowing with their hard-won freedom--strong
women even taking off towards death." --Le Figaro
"Sinuous long phrases, at times brutal, at times sweet, underline and follow the emerging consciousness of these African women in their
quest for identity...Riveting, hypnotizing prose." --Marie Claire (France)

French historian and diplomat Alain Peyrefitte describes in fascinating detail the
story of the failed attempt by the British during the 1790s to open the Chinese Empire
to Western trade. Led by Lord George Macartney, whose previous diplomatic career
had involved successful stints in India and the Caribbean, the enormous British
expedition of nearly seven hundred men included diplomats, doctors, scholars,
painters, musicians, soldiers, and young members of the British aristocracy. But
Macartney's refusal to perform the traditional kowtow before the Chinese Emperor
was the first signal that the two empires would fail to see eye to eye. The British,
fueled by the ideas of Adam Smith, had built an empire on the principle of mutually
advantageous trade among nations. The British wanted tea, porcelain, and silk, but
had little to offer the Chinese in return, except one shameful commodity--Indian
opium. Making use of extraordinary source materials--including, on the British side,
the wonderfully candid diary of twelve-year-old Thomas Staunton, son of Macartney's
aide, and the only person in the entire English fleet who had taught himself Chinese,
and, on the Chinese side, the newly discovered secret reports of the Emperor's
officials, all personally annotated by the Emperor himself--Peyrefitte is able to tell this
remarkable story from both sides, and from multiple perspectives on each side.
Superbly translated by Jon Rothschild, The Immobile Empire is history at its most
gripping and entertaining.
BACK IN PRINT: With a brand-new package, this once-controversial classic account of the
first collision between East and West will return to readers eager for a look into this moment
of history.
"Elegant, illuminating and delightful." --South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"A fascinating study of cross-cultural misunderstanding." --Chicago Tribune
"The best account of Lord Macartney's expedition to China." --The Guardian
Author Bio: Alain Peyrefitte was a French scholar, politician, and author. He had a
long career in public service, serving as a diplomat in Germany and Poland and as
minister of information and minister of justice. He became a member of the Académie
française in 1977. He is the author of several books including The Immobile Empire
and The Trouble with France.

Summer Lies
Stories
Bernhard Schlink
TARGET CONSUMER: For fans of Bernhard Schlink's international bestselling
novel The Reader.
In seven masterfully controlled, emotionally voracious stories, Bernhard
Schlink--best selling author of The Reader--brings his trademark light touch to
the emergence of truth, love, and lies.
The truth is, as a character in Bernhard Schlink's provocative new collection puts it,
"passionate, beautiful, and hideous, it can make you happy and it can torture you, and
it's always liberating." So, too, is the act of telling a lie--to others and to ourselves. In
"After the Season," a man of humble means falls quickly in love with a woman with to
much-elevated financial status and wrestles with his feelings and his beliefs about the
rich. A son takes his distant father to a Bach festival in "Johann Sebastian Bach on
Ruegen" only to learn that perhaps he was the one who was never really present in
their relationship. And in "The Night in Baden-Baden" a man who's caught in a lie
changes his ways--by sleeping with another woman only after being accused of it.
With Summer Lies, Bernhard Schlink brings his subtle skill to the emergence of truth
and deception.

The World of the Shining Prince
Court Life in Ancient Japan
Reading Line: The Classic Study of the World of The
Tale of Genji
Ivan Morris; Introduction by Barbara Ruch
TARGET CONSUMER: Readers interested in learning about the history of
ancient Japanese court culture.
The classic study of the world of the The Tale of Genji that takes readers inside
the courts of ancient Japan.
The World of the Shining Prince, Ivan Morris's widely acclaimed portrait of the
ceremonious, inbred, melancholy world of ancient Japan, has been a standard in
cultural studies for nearly forty years. Using as a frame of reference The Tale of Genji
and other major literary works from Japan's Heian period, Morris re-creates an era
when women set the cultural tone. Focusing on the world of the emperor's court--the
world so admired by Virginia Woolf and others--he describes the politics, society,
religious life, and superstitions of the times, providing detailed portrayals of the daily
life of courtiers, the cult of beauty they espoused, and the intricate relations between
the men and women of this milieu.

COVER QUOTE: "A thoughtful scholar's reconstruction ... a book which should delight
anyone interested in Japan." --The New York Times Book Review
"The people of the Heian period in Japan...evolved a civilization ... pervaded by a sense of
the transitoriness of things, combined with an awareness of beauty so sharp that it was
poignant ... Ivan Morris's book is as elegant as its theme." --The Observer
"I cannot think of another work, born in academia, that can so justifiably be described as
'enthralling.'" --from the introduction by Barbard Ruch

Ulysses Grant emerges in this masterful biography as a genius in battle and a
driven president to a divided country, who remained fearlessly on the side of right. He
was a beloved commander in the field who made the sacrifices necessary to win the
war, even in the face of criticism. He worked valiantly to protect the rights of freed
men in the South. He allowed the American Indians to shape their own fate even as
the realities of Manifest Destiny meant the end of their way of life. In this sweeping
and majestic narrative, bestselling author H.W. Brands now reconsiders Grant's
legacy and provides an intimate portrait of a heroic man who saved the Union on the
battlefield and consolidated that victory as a resolute and principled political leader.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: This was a national bestseller in hardcover and Brands is a New
York Times bestselling author with nearly half a million copies of his Anchor paperbacks in
print. The Man Who Saved the Union was also named a Best Biography of 2012 in The Wall
Street Journal and our paperback cover will feature a seal stating that.
ACCLAIMED BIOGRAPHER: The Man Who Saved the Union is a nominee for the Los
Angeles Times Book Prize. Brands' incredibly readable, popular biographies have been
praised by Doris Kearns Goodwin and Jon Meacham. His Benjamin Franklin biography (The
First American) and his FDR biography (Traitor to His Class) were both finalists for the
Pulitzer Prize.
ANNIVERSARY AND GRANT REVIVAL: This is the first full biography of Grant in a decade,
and timed to the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. In the academic world, a serious
reevaluation of Grant is happening, and Brands's new biography is an important contribution.
"H. W. Brands has crafted a wonderful portrait of a great leader who endured and prevailed in
hours of stress and strain. Brands's U. S. Grant is a compelling figure, a man too often
overlooked by history. This book rectifies that with grace and insight." --Jon Meacham, author
of American Lion, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography
Author Bio: H. W. Brands is the Dickson Allen Anderson Professor of History at the
University of Texas at Austin. A New York Times bestselling author, he was the
finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in biography for The First American and again for Traitor
to His Class.

The Man Who Saved the Union
H. W. Brands
More Praise for The Man Who Saved the Union:
"Through Grant, Mr. Brands paints a vivid landscape of mid-19th-century America filling his canvas with fascinating characters...Mr. Brands's
prose is engaging, almost conversational, and the narrative moves briskly." --The Wall Street Journal
"A treat for history buffs and anyone else who enjoys a life story well-told.... Richly detailed and deeply moving, The Man Who Saved the
Union has a you-are-there quality thanks to its carefully drawn sketches of people and places." --Christian Science Monitor
"Comprehensive, dramatic, and highly readable...H.W. Brands has written an authoritative, action-packed, and well-rounded biography of a
very human Ulysses S. Grant." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"Thorough, balanced, and a good read...Brands deserves great praise for once more attempting to put Ulysses S. Grant where he belongs, in
the pantheon of American heroes." --The Daily Beast
"H. W. Brands celebrates Grant the warrior and Grant the president, too long maligned by an unholy alliance of snobs, racists, and partisan
historians. A great American gets his full due." --Richard Brookhiser, author of James Madison
"The author offers exciting prose and fresh perspective on Grant that will make readers want to learn more." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Brands is essentially a storyteller, and a good one. His prose is lucid and colorful. He evokes the atmosphere of Grant's era by filling the
book with lengthy excerpts from primary sources--letters, first-person observations and recollections.... Brands presents vivid and compelling
accounts of the complex battles of the Civil War." --The Washington Post
"Too frequently overshadowed or overlooked, Ulysses S. Grant finally gets his due in H. W. Brands' splendid new biography. With verve and
his trademark scholarship, Brands vividly brings Grant to life. Here, rendered in all his humanity, is the soldier, statesman, president. Here,
too, is a man as much for our time as for his." --Jay Winik, author of April 1865 and The Great Upheaval
"A skilled American storyteller reminds us of Grant's bravery and devotion on the bloody battlefields of the Civil War and as the president who
rescued the martyred Lincoln's dream in the ugly seasons after the assassination. From the assault on Chapultepec to the carnage at Shiloh,
from the Appomattox Court House to Grant's showdown as president with the Ku Klux Klan, the inestimable H. W. Brands tells the tale of this
very human hero with the verve and insight we expect from a great biographer." --John A. Farrell, author of Clarence Darrow: Attorney for the
Damned
"The author describes numerous battles and campaigns in chilling and heartbreaking detail. His management of source material is
impeccable as he mixes letters from soldiers with orders, memoranda and official communiqués from Washington." --Bookreporter
"This authoritative biography of an obscure failure and occasional drunkard who became a Civil War generalissimo and the 18th U.S.
president is a study in two kinds of moral courage.... [Brands's] narrative of Grant's military campaigns in particular is lucid, colorful, and
focused on telling moments of decision. His Grant emerges as an immensely appealing figure...with a keen mind, stout character, and
unpretentious manner. The result is a fine portrait of the quintessential American hero." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Will Schwalbe
"Schwalbe provides an account of growing up in a bookish, artistic family, and a touching portrait of his energetic mother.... The
[reading] choices that emerge are not a bucket list but an engagingly eclectic mixture of current and vintage, literary and
commercial." --The New Yorker
"Schwalbe's enthusiasm turns out to be contagious. As I was reading I found myself scribbling titles on a piece of paper so that I
could order the volumes he and his mother cared about. Schwalbe is not just an avid reader, he is also an advocate, a
cheerleader, a disciple." --Rachel Shteir, The New York Times
"Uplifting.... So much life is lived, and such powerful lessons are shared on this family's journey that the reader can't help but be
moved and motivated." --Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"A warm reminder why we read and what our reading says about us and the ways we connect with others." --The Columbus
Dispatch
"Touching and rigorously honest, this memoir is wise about the role reading plays in our lives and deaths." --Slate
"The most moving memoir of the year." --Sacramento Bee
"A tribute to a remarkable woman and an examplary reader." --Salon
"With a refreshing forthrightness, and an excellent list of books included, this is an astonishing, pertinent, and wonderfully
welcome book." --Publishers Weekly (starred)
"A gentle, searingly moving memoir, at once a love letter and a generous, incisive set of instructions not about how to die but
about how to live." --More magazine
"A wonderful book about wonderful books and mothers and sons and the enduring braid between them. Like the printed volumes
it celebrates, this story will stay with you long after the last page." --Mitch Albom, author of The Time Keeper and Tuesdays with
Morrie
"Will Schwalbe's lyrical tribute to a life well-lived and a death graced with love and literature is a precious gift bestowed on all of
us. What a unique and beautiful book this is, and how privileged we are to have it." --Sherwin B. Nuland, author of The Art of
Aging and How We Die
"Completely engaging and difficult to put down. Hearing Schwalbe recount the effects that one selfless and loving person can
have on the world is sad without being depressing, and deeply inspirational on a personal level to every imaginable reader."
--The Independent
"In a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Schwalbe illustrates the power of the written word to expand our knowledge of ourselves and
others." --Kirkus Reviews
"This touching and insightful memoir [will] appeal to readers of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Last Lecture, but also to people
who love delving into books and book discussions . . . While it is a story about death, it is mostly a celebration of life and of the
way books can enrich it." --Booklist (starred)
"I was so moved by this marvelous book. Schwalbe has done something extraordinary: made a personal journey public in the
most engaging, funny and revealing way possible. It is a true meditation on what books can do." --Edmund de Waal, author of
The Hare with the Amber Eyes

In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a
struggling businessman named Alan Clay pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off
foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and finally do something great. In A
Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man
fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global
economy's gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful
evocation of our contemporary moment--and a moving story of how we got here.

A Hologram for the King
Dave Eggers
"Solidly constructed and elegantly told. There is nothing inaccessible about it... Clay may not be like each of us, but he is an
everyman whose irrelevancy is parallel to America's own." --Los Angeles Times
"[A] clear, supremely readable parable of America in the global economy that is haunting, beautifully shaped, and sad.... Eggers
has developed an exceptional gift for opening up the lives of others so as to offer the story of globalism as it develops and,
simultaneously, to unfold a much more archetypal tale of struggle and loneliness and drift.... Groundbreaking." --Pico Iyer, The
New York Times Book Review
"Eggers understands the pressures of American downward-mobility, and in the protagonist of his novel, Alan Clay, has created
an Everyman, a post-modern Willy Loman.... The novel operates on a grand and global scale, but it also is intimate." --The
Chicago Tribune
"Alan feels like Eggers's most fully-realized character to date... A sad and beautiful story." --The Boston Globe
"Fascinating... A Hologram for the King, as far from home as it might seem, is an acute slice of American life."--Tampa Bay Times
"Dave Eggers is a prince among men when it comes to writing deeply felt, socially conscious books that meld reportage with
fiction. While A Hologram for the King is fiction... it's a strike against the current state of global economic injustice." --Elissa
Schappell, Vanity Fair
"Deft and darkly comic... Beautifully enlivened by oddball encounters and oddball characters, by stranger-in-a-strange-land
episodes." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Eggers's spare prose is a pleasure, and A Hologram for the King proves to be a deft blend of surreal adventure, absurd comedy
and pointed observations." --San Jose Mercury News
"[Hologram] has at its center a sort of moral vision quest . . . Alan's plight is endearing in its universality, even while being
singularly his." --Time Out Chicago

editors/author and fans
Combining Bret Easton Ellis's reckless characters with Siddhartha's continually
unsuccessful, earnest attempts at some kind of transcendence, Taipei by Tao Lin is
an ode--or lament--to the way we live now. Following Paul from New York, where he
carefully navigates Manhattan's art and literary scenes, to Taipei, where he confronts
his family's roots, we see one relationship fail, while another is born on the internet
and blooms into a wedding in Las Vegas. Along the way, movies are made with
laptops cameras, massive amounts of drugs are injested, and two young lovers come
to learn what it means to share yourself completely. The result is a meditation on
memory, love, death, and what it means to be young, ambitious, and on the fringe in
America, or anywhere else for that matter.
TAO LIN: Tao is contemporary fiction's answer to Andy Warhol and Andy Kaufman. He is
loved. He is hated. But both of these factions will buy this book. Among the literati, it is one of
the most eagerly awaited titles of the year. Tao is also the founder/editor of Muumuu House
Books and the co-founder of MDMAfilms. He is now teaching a grad writing class at Sarah
Lawrence.
FIRST BOOK WITH MAJOR HOUSE: This is Tao's first novel with a major house. It fits our
list like a glove.
PRESENCE: Tao gets more coverage than most major authors, and is consistently
publishing essays in major outlets. The Atlantic has described Lin as having a "fairly
staggering" knack for self-promotion. News of Tao coming to Vintage spread rapidly. The
deal was covered by The Wall Street Journal, The Observer, Gawker, and numerous others.
Every step of this publication will be followed closely. Eeeee Eee Eeee was featured in the hit
HBO show Girls. The Wall Street Journal just profiled Tao as publisher and champion of
cutting edge authors.

"A master of understatement--or, rather, of statement."--Vice Magazine
"Lin captures certain qualities of contemporary life better than many writers in part because
he dispenses with so much that is expected of current fiction."--The London Review of Books
Author Bio: Tao Lin is the author of the novels Richard Yates and Eeeee Eee Eeee,
the novella Shoplifting from American Apparel, the story collection Bed, and the
poetry collections Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and you are a little bit happier than i
am. His work has been translated into numerous languages. He lives in Manhattan.

Praise for Tao Lin's Richard Yates:
"Tao Lin shows us the way we live now."--The Stranger
"[G]enuinely funny...accurate, often filthy dispatches on what it is to be young and pushing against the world."--The New York Times
"A focused, moving, and rather upsetting portrait of two oddballs in love."--The Boston Globe
"[A] batty and precisely penned novel....[Tao Lin] has, in methodically stacked increments, become a legitimate writing presence."--The
Boston Phoenix
Praise for Tao Lin's Shoplifting From American Apparel:
"A humorous reflection on the instantaneity of Internet-era life and relationships. . . . The writing stays fresh, thanks to occasional oddball
dialogue about everything from Oscar Wilde to what exactly constitutes a fight with a girlfriend. . . . Purposefully raw."--Time Out New York
"In a way, it makes more sense to think of Tao Lin as a painter or performance artist; his work attempts to evoke through persistent,
dull-edged provocation."--Time Out Chicago
"Prodigal, unpredictable." --Paste Magazine
"Trancelike and often hilarious... Lin's writing is reminiscent of early Douglas Coupland, or early Bret Easton Ellis, but there is also something
going on here that is more profoundly peculiar, even Beckettian...deliciously odd."--The Guardian
"You don't think, 'I like this guy,' or 'I really dislike this guy.' You think, 'huh.' [...] Camus' The Stranger or 'sociopath?'"-- Los Angeles Times
"Tao Lin's sly, forlorn, deadpan humor jumps off the page. [...] will delight fans of everyone from Mark Twain to Michelle Tea."--San Francisco
Chronicle
"Somehow both the funniest and the saddest book I've read in a long time."--Michael Schaub, Bookslut
"The purest example so far of the minimalist aesthetic as it used to be enunciated."--Michael Silverblatt, KCRW's Bookworm
"A fragile, elusive little book."--Village Voice
"Very funny."--USA Today

On Saudi Arabia
Its People, Past, Religion, Fault Lines--and Future
Karen Elliott House
TARGET CONSUMER: Readers looking for penetrating insights into Saudi
Arabia today and its future.
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, former foreign editor, correspondent,
and publisher of The Wall Street Journal--a uniquely informed, authoritative,
and illuminating look at Saudi Arabia today.
No other journalist brings the knowledge and insight to the subject of Saudi Arabia
that Karen House brings: she has spent the last thirty years deeply immersed in its
society. Now, through analysis, anecdote, observation, and extensive interviews, she
breaks through the vagueness and confusion that surround the world's largest
exporter of oil (which underpins our own way of life). She sheds light on Saudi
Arabia's leaders, the inner and outer lives of its people (among them: university
students who look and act much like their U.S. counterparts--but only inside the walls
of the universities; educated women struggling for increased opportunity and freedom;
Western-educated businessmen frustrated with the pace of change), and the inherent
complexities of its regional setting. And she explores in depth what all of this portends
for Saudi Arabia's future--and for ours.

VAST KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT: Karen House has spent more time in Saudi Arabia
than any other American journalist, first as reporter, then as foreign editor of The Wall Street
Journal, and finally as its publisher. During the past thirty years she has interviewed an
extensive cross-section of Saudis from every level of society and every part of the country.
ACCESS TO THE RULING FAMILY: House has interviewed most of the key members of the
present Al Saud family (which has ruled Arabia on and off since 1744), among them, the
current King, Crown Prince, Foreign Minister, Defense Minister (who died recently, and was
first in line to succeed King Abdullah), Interior Minister, Director of Intelligence, and other
senior princes who hold important governors' posts.
ACCESS TO THE SAUDI PEOPLE: Everyone from the country's key religious leaders to
those living at the lowest levels of society.
SAUDI ARABIA AND THE U.S.: The author explores America's future relationship to Saudi
Arabia and the reality of a new global oil market. Saudi Arabia is America's second largest
supplier of oil; any major disruptions in the kingdom's exports worldwide would wreak havoc
on the U.S. economy.
NAMED A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2012, a Washington Post "50 Notable
Works of nonfiction," and one of Newsweek's "Our Favorite Books of 2012."
COVER QUOTE: "A profoundly important work.... A well-written expose.... An unblemished
and objective assessment of the Saudi worldview." --The Huffington Post
"In her definitive book On Saudi Arabia, Karen House demonstrates an unparalleled
understanding of the dynamics of Saudi society." --Senator Susan Collins (Maine), Ranking
Member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Author Bio: Karen House is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. She
studied and taught at Harvard University's Institute of Politics and holds honorary
degrees from Boston University (2003) and Lafayette College (1992). She was also a
senior fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.

On Saudi Arabia
Karen Elliott House
More praise for On Saudi Arabia:
"Entertaining and lucidly drawn ... unique in that it mostly avoids the shallow analysis of instant experts, while also forgoing the jargon and
sometimes incomprehensible theorizing of academic texts ... a vivid and rarely seen picture of this closed state ... eloquent and timely ...
Presenting these issues in a readable yet serious book is a rare feat indeed, and [House] should be commended for it." --The New Republic
"The internal contradictions of a medieval theocracy in thrall to modern-day petrocapitalism give Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist House ample
material ... Illuminating ... cogently written." --Publishers Weekly
"An incisive analysis of divisive dynamics inside the world's most important supplier of oil. House asks hard questions about the future of
Saudi Arabia." --Graham Allison, Director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University
"A new and different view of Saudi Arabia from the ground up that offers a valuable assessment of where the kingdom is and where it might
go. A stimulating and worthwhile read." --George P. Shultz
"Karen House's On Saudi Arabia is a book that future Saudi leaders should read carefully. It exposes incisively and dispassionately the social
contradictions and the potential political vulnerabilities of contemporary Saudi Arabia. A timely and truly important book." --Zbigniew Brzezinski
Karen House was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in international reporting for a series of interviews with Jordan's King Hussein for
The Wall Street Journal. House is the recipient of the Overseas Press Club's Bob Considine Award for best daily newspaper
interpretation of foreign affairs (1984 and 1988); the University of Southern California's Distinguished Achievement in Journalism
Award (1983); Georgetown University's Edward Weintal Award for distinguished coverage of American foreign policy (1980); and
the National Press Club's Edwin M. Hood Award for Excellence in Diplomatic Reporting (1982).
House joined the Journal as a reporter in 1974; was named assistant foreign editor in 1983; foreign editor in 1984; vice-president
of the Dow Jones International Group; and president of the International Group in 1995. In 2002 she was appointed publisher by
the board of Dow Jones. As publisher she was the architect of the Journal's Weekend Edition. At the Journal, House worked
under her husband, Peter R. Kann, Dow Jones CEO and chairman of the board from 1992 until 2006.
In February 2007, House wrote a series of articles for the WSJ following a month-long tour of Saudi Arabia.
House is a member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and Boston University. She is serving as the Vice Chairman on the
board of trustees for RAND Corporation.

The Life of Objects
Susanna Moore
TARGET CONSUMER: Readers who have been waiting for Moore to write
another historical novel. People interested in WWII history, particularly life on
the home front. Downton Abbey fans.
An elegant, haunting novel from the award-winning author of In the Cut and The
Whiteness of Bones.
Beatrice, a young Irish Protestant lace maker, feels like she is living a fairy tale
when she is whisked away from her humdrum life by a mysterious countess to join the
Berlin household of the Metzenburgs, an enchanting, aristocratic couple whose vast
holdings of art include a priceless collection of lace. But as Beatrice is introduced to
the highly rarefied world of affluence and art collecting, the greater drama of
Germany's aggression begins to overshadow it. Retreating with Beatrice to their
country estate, the Metzenburgs do their best to ignore the encroaching war, until the
realities of hunger and illness, as well as the even graver threats of Nazi terror, begin
to threaten their very existence.

HISTORICAL: Susanna Moore is returning to the mode of historical fiction, which she's
handled with such poise and dexterity in books such as One Last Look.
VOICE: World War II Germany is a frequent setting for fiction, but Moore's narrator provides
an original and unexpected point of view of Berlin and the Brandenburg countryside from a
seemingly protected position in an aristocratic household.
REVIEWS: The praise has been stellar. We have blurbs from J.M. Coetzee, Kurt Andersen,
and even Joan Didion, who says: "I find this book exhilarating--truly exciting, new, everything
good--the people, the clothes, the food: every word."
TV PRESENCE: Moore's previous novel, The Big Girls, is currently in development by HBO
for a series.
"Imagine Downton Abbey crossed with In the Garden of Beasts as fashioned by a literary
master at the peak of her powers." --Kurt Andersen
Author Bio: SUSANNA MOORE is the author of the novels The Big Girls, One Last
Look, In the Cut, Sleeping Beauties, The Whiteness of Bones, and My Old
Sweetheart, and two books of nonfiction, Light Years: A Girlhood in Hawai'i and I
Myself Have Seen It. She lives in New York City.

The Life of Objects
Susanna Moore
"I hadn't realized that the lives led by people in the camps had a shadow existence outside the fences, that people were
constantly faced with the chance to step one way or the other so that the person next to them would be chosen instead, and that
forever after they had to bear their choice....The writing in places is close to a standard that is nearly flawless. So much can
happen in a sentence, by such slight (to the reader) but rigorous and elegant means. I nearly gasped at some parts. And there is
something gravely and humanly funny about others." --Alec Wilkinson
"A marvelous book, devastating in its simplicity. It's a beautifully controlled examination of a life stripped, like a body in wartime,
of inessentials. I love the fact that kindness--though not sentimentality--turns out to be an essential. But for me the heart of the
matter is Moore's language: as strong as plainchant, and as beautiful." --Nicola Griffith, author of The Blue Place and Ammonite
"A frightening and wholly convincing evocation of life in Germany during the twilight of the Third Reich." --J. M. Coetzee
"In The Life of Objects, Susanna Moore tells the story of a young woman's initiation into the worlds of beauty, suffering, cynicism,
and grace. What astounds me about this work is its ability to attend with equal fidelity to the quiet nuances of self-discovery and
the deceptions and depravities of World War II. This is a lyrical and courageous book." --Tracy K. Smith, winner of the Pulitzer
Prize for poetry
"The Life of Objects isn't long but it gives the full sweep of the Nazi reign and the Soviet occupation. Its details are so convincing,
it reads like a memoir not a novel--a magnificent achievement." --Edmund White

In Between Days
Reading Line: A novel
Andrew Porter
TARGET CONSUMER: For fans of family drama. Southern writing and Texas.
An exceptionally engaging first novel from a commanding new voice in fiction,
author of the award-winning and widely acclaimed story collection The Theory
of Light and Matter.
The Harding family is teetering on the brink. Elson--once one of Houston's most
promising architects--is recently divorced from his wife of thirty years, Cadence. Their
grown son, Richard, is still living at home: driving his mother's minivan, working at a
local coffeeshop, resisting the career as a writer that beckons him. But when Chloe
Harding gets kicked out of her East Coast college, for reasons she can't explain to
either her parents or her older brother, and returns to Houston, the Hardings' lives
begin to unravel. Told with piercing insight, taut psychological suspense, and the
deftness of a true master of character, this is a novel about the vagaries of love and
family, about betrayal and forgiveness, about the possibility and impossibility of going
home.

In Between Days
Andrew Porter
Praise for In Between Days:
"Porter writes with intuitiveness about the complexities of family life and creates indelible characters in the novel . . . [Told in]
stately prose . . . What makes In Between Days so compelling is the characters. Each is holding something back from the others,
carrying a secret, telling only half the truth most of the time. By withholding vital information, Porter is able to develop a sense of
unease as thick as Houston smog . . . As Chloe's frantic parents' distress mounts, the psychological suspense builds."--San
Antonio Express-News
"An exquisitely told dysfunctional family drama . . . One of the year's stellar debut novels."--Largehearted Boy
"A striking assemblage of generational disintegration and distress that will remind some readers of [the] Ingmar
Bergman-inspired Woody Allen art house flick Interiors by way of Jeffrey Eugenides's The Virgin Suicides . . . Porter has
effortlessly and enviably, it seems, made the tough transition from best-kept literary secret to bestseller material."--San Antonio
"I was shaken by this cautionary tale of what can happen when a family's secrets become larger than the love they share."--Real
Simple
"Astonishing and provocative . . . Porter's prose is gorgeous, fluid, and precise."--Barnes & Noble Discover blog
"A stirring page-turner, part Chekhov and part Hitchcock . . . A deftly paced social psychodrama . . . Porter's descriptions of
[Houston] society and geography are spot on--whether imagining the lives of Montrose rent boys or detailing architectural
one-upmanship at Harding's fictional firm."--Houston magazine
"A powerful portrait of family dysfunction, a worthy successor to Porter's award-winning short story collection, The Theory of
Light and Matter . . . It succeeds as a universal comment about love, loyalty, and loss."--Texas Monthly
"The story is told with great emotional and psychological insight. All of the four Hardings get to tell their pieces of the story in their
distinct voices, creating a multilayered and suspenseful tale of love in all its varieties and family defined in different
ways."--Booklist

God Believes in Love
Straight Talk About Gay Marriage
Gene Robinson
TARGET CONSUMER: Social and religious advocates for same-sex marriage,
especially in the gay and Episcopal communities.
From the Ninth Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal
Church, the first openly gay person elected to the episcopate and the world's
leading religious spokesperson for gay rights and gay marriage--a
groundbreaking book that persuasively makes the case for same-sex marriage
using a commonsense, reasoned, religious argument.
Robinson holds the religious text of the Bible to be holy and sacred and the
ensuing two millennia of church history to be relevant to the discussion. He is equally
familiar with the secular and political debate about gay marriage going on in America
today, and is someone for whom same-sex marriage is a personal issue; Robinson
was married to a woman for two decades and is a father of two children and has been
married to a man for the last four years of a twenty-three-year relationship.

GROUNDBREAKING: The first book to make the case for same-sex marriage from a
religious perspective. The first to take complex, controversal religious issues and write about
them in a plain reasoned text without polemics or ideology.
LIGHTNING ROD: The author is the first openly gay priest elected to the episcopate. His
election caused a worldwide discussion of homosexuality and he became the recipient of
criticism, hatred, and death threats. Robinson has played a major public role in the struggle
for marriage equality in America, speaking to religious organizations and standing between
two worlds--as an interpreter to the gay community of the mostly heterosexual religious world,
and as interpreter of the gay community to the religious world.
HOT BUTTON ISSUE: A significant contribution to the debate around marriage equality as it
presses forward in the workplace and in statehouses around the country. Strong likelihood
that the Supreme Court will address this issue in the current term.
Author Bio: Gene Robinson was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, and
graduated from the University of the South with a B.A. in American studies and
history. He completed the M.Div. degree in 1973 at the General Theological Seminary
in New York, and was ordained deacon and then priest, serving as curate at Christ
Church, Ridgewood, NJ. Robinson is a Senior Fellow at American Progress. He was
elected bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire in 2003, having served as
Canon to the Ordinary (assistant to the bishop) for nearly eighteen years.

God Believes in Love
Gene Robinson
"[A] mix of reasoned logic, personal experiences, church teachings, and social science . . . The underlying tone is one of
compassion and genuine hope for meaningful shift toward acceptance of same-sex unions . . . gentle with moments of humor . . .
a solid entrance into the LGBT-affirming worldview."
--Publishers Weekly
"Reasoned . . . Robinson's strength is his willingness to see these questions from another perspective . . . Sober and
well-structured."
--Kirkus
"Couldn't be more timely, nor more authoritative . . . Robinson does yeoman's work at arguing [the gay-marriage debate]
concisely."
--Booklist
About Gene Robinson
"My friend, Bishop Gene Robinson, has long been a voice for equality--not with anger or vitriol, but with compassion and faith.
He has been guided by the simple precept that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us."
--President Barack Obama
"For someone in the eye of the storm buffeting our beloved Anglican Communion, Gene Robinson is so serene; he is not a
wild-eyed belligerent campaigner. I was so surprised at his generosity towards those who have denigrated him and worse. Gene
Robinson is a wonderful human being, and I am proud to belong to the same church as he."
--Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate
"Gene Robinson is no revolutionary: he upholds marriage as a sacred covenant, but knows the same covenant theology can
include same-sex partnerships too. For living this truth he has been scapegoated--not for being the first gay bishop, but the first
honest one. By God's grace he had stayed strong, still trying to love his enemies into friends. One day the Church will
understand what it owes him."
--The Very Rev. Jeffrey John, Dean, St. Alban's Cathedral, England

Scott Reynolds Nelson

Pundits will argue that the 2008 financial crisis was the first crash in American
history driven by consumer debt. But in this spirited, highly engaging account, Scott
Reynolds Nelson demonstrates that consumer debt has underpinned almost every
major financial panic in the nation's history. From William Duer's attempts to profit off
the country's post-Revolutionary War debt to an 1815 plan to sell English coats to
Americans on credit, to the debt-fueled railroad expansion that precipitated the 1857
crash: in each case, the chain of banks, brokers, moneylenders, and insurance
companies that separated borrowers and lenders made it impossible to distinguish
good loans from bad. Bound up in this history are stories of national banks funded by
smugglers, fistfights in Congress over the gold standard, America's early dependence
on British bankers, and how presidential campaigns were forged in controversies over
private debt. An irreverent, wholly accessible, eye-opening book.
REVISIONIST: Nelson takes on many accepted ideas about what caused these crises, and
makes clear that they unfolded at both the highest levels of finance and in the everyday lives
of citizens.
AUTHOR: Nelson has won major academic prizes for his previous books, but this time has
set out to accomplish something much bigger: he's written a book distinctly intended to reach
a much larger, non-academic audience.
"Exceptionally readable....[Nelson] has painstakingly extracted the sensational details from
the mucky ore of the history of financial crises in the U.S....Well worth reading...larded with
entertaining characters and powerful citations." --New York Journal of Books
"Nelson presents a good case that the U.S. was founded by bankers who used their insider
knowledge and political connections to make lots of money. And their influence hasn't
diminished all that much despite having caused dozens of financial crises since.... fun to
read; it gleans interesting tidbits from the past and puts today's troubles in better
perspective." --Bloomberg
Author Bio: Scott Reynolds Nelson is the author of Steel Drivin' Man, which won the
National Award for Arts Writing, the Anisfield-Wolf Literary Prize, the Merle Curti Prize
for best book in U.S. history, and the Virginia Literary Award for Nonfiction. His young
adult book, Ain't Nothing But a Man (written with Marc Aronson) won seven national
awards, including the Jane Addams Prize for best book on social justice.

A Nation of Deadbeats
Scott Reynolds Nelson
Additional Praise for A Nation of Deadbeats:
"Debt was the original worldwide web. A Nation of Deadbeats is Copernican history, restoring America to its global context and
revealing the surprising positive consequences of our frequent panics as well as their crushing costs....A sad story of stymied
transparency and a hopeful one of resilience, A Nation of Deadbeats is a brilliantly original reconsideration not just of economic
upheavals but of the American civilization they did so much to shape." --Edward Tenner
"History focusing on the losers instead of the winners is especially effective. This might not qualify as 100% pure revisionist
history, but it is certainly unconventional history, and hooray for that. A Nation of Deadbeats is especially timely, coming as it
does during a nationwide and worldwide economic slowdown of at least four years duration and counting....Even if those debtors
are sometimes the victims of circumstances beyond their total control, they nonetheless can start ripples in the economy that
become tidal waves." --USA Today
"A fascinating historical narrative....This revisionist account is eminently readable, in large part because Nelson offers
flesh-and-blood examples rather than relying on abstractions." --Kirkus Reviews
"This astute account of economic disruption and disaster through the Great Depression is a useful and engaging perspective on
our propensity for repeating our financial mistakes." --Publishers Weekly

Features and Profiles on 50th
anniversary of "Cleopatra"
Advertising
Academic Advertising in Film Quarterly
Cleopatra faced innumerable problems during its production: passionate casting
disputes, broken contracts, a costly re-location from London to Rome, an emergency
tracheotomy for its star, Elizabeth Taylor, scandal-ridden gossip surrounding
relationships on set, and a budget of $2 million that ballooned to final costs of $44
million (the equivalent of over $320 million in present day). Walter Wanger recalls the
drama that occurred both on and off the set, including the incredible obstacles he had
to overcome and the exhilaration of producing a triumph of cinema. A revealing story
about Taylor's and Burton's tempestuous romance and an insightful filmmaker's
journal, My Life with Cleopatra shares the true story of the relationship and film that
enthralled the world.
50TH ANNIVERSARY: 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Cleopatra, and
viewer interest in the film remains high after all these years.
INTRODUCTION: American film critic Kenneth Turan has contributed a lovely introduction to
our edition.
BACK IN PRINT: My Life with Cleopatra has been out of print for several years, and we have
the opportunity to reintroduce it to film buffs, fans of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and
filmmakers interested in the process of making the most expensive film in history.
TAYLOR'S ALLURE: Taylor's death in 2011 lead legions of fans to revisit her work, and
interest in her life both on and off screen remains high. Liz and Dick, the highly anticipated
television movie starring Lindsay Lohan focuses on Taylor's affair with Richard Burton during
the filming of Cleopatra and their subsequent marriages (Burton was Taylor's fifth and sixth
husband, due to a brief divorce and reconciliation).
Excerpt: "I have been told by responsible journalists that there was more world interest in
Cleopatra, which I produced, and in its stars--Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Rex
Harrison--than in any event of 1962." --Walter Wanger
Author Bio: Walter Wanger, the producer of Cleopatra, was the president of the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for six years. He was the producer of
the first outdoor color film ever made. His numerous motion picture productions
include Stagecoach, The Long Voyage Home, and I Want to Live. He died in 1968.
Joe Hyams, Mr. Wanger's collaborator, was a Hollywood columnist and author of
bestselling biographies of Hollywood stars. He died in 2008.
My Life with Cleopatra
Walter Wanger and Joe Hyams Afterword by Kenneth Turan
Excerpts from My Life with Cleopatra:
From 1962 entries on Taylor and Burton's growing attraction
January 18: Liz and Burton played their first scene together.... You could almost feel the electricity...
February 1: Eddie Fisher is in terrible shape. He has heard the rumors. But he finds it impossible to believe them...
March 15: Liz and Eddie were in bed reading. They seemed as happy as two birds in a nest...
March 29: Eddie Fisher is in a hospital. Divorce proceedings are to be instituted... Burton is the talk of Europe and America...
April 13: I believe Elizabeth loves two men. And who is to say that a woman can't love two men at the same time any more than a man can't
love two women at the same time.
From Walter Wanger's prologue
"'Cleopatra' is not only the most written-about motion picture in history, but it was also the most talked-about. As you will discover, never have
so many people known so little about a subject which so obviously intrigued them. What I have to say in this book may shock some
hypocrites and offend some moralists. This is not to imply that my book is a deliberate attempt to provoke controversy. The controversy was
already there..."
Praise for "Cleopatra":
"'Cleopatra' is not only a supercolossal eye-filler (the unprecedented budget shows in the physical opulence throughout), but it is also a
remarkably literate cinematic recreation of an historic epoch." --Variety
"It is a surpassing entertainment, one of the great epic films of our day." --The New York Times
"A giant of a movie that is sometimes lumbering, but ever watchable thanks to its uninhibited ambition, size and glamour." --Film4
"Taylor, Burton, and Harrison are sublime in this sweeping epic of love and nations." --Austin Chronicle

We Have the War Upon Us
The Onset of the Civil War, November 1860-April
1861
William J. Cooper
TARGET CONSUMER: For everyone interested in the Civil War and Abraham
Lincoln.
From a highly regarded historian, a new perspective on the period between
Lincoln's election in November 1860 and the firing on Fort Sumter in April 1861,
when all efforts to avoid or impede secession and prevent civil war failed.
In rapid succession a series of events led to the greatest cataclysm in American
history, the Civil War. From the time that Lincoln won the presidential election until
five months later when the Upper South seceded and Lincoln moved to suppress the
rebellion and civil war ensued, William J. Cooper captures the sense of contingency,
showing Americans in these months as not knowing where decisions would lead, how
events would unfold. He helps us understand what the major actors said and did. And
he highlights Lincoln's unbending posture on slavery and attributes it to a basic
ignorance of the South, resulting in a tone deafness to how Southerners would react
as events unfolded.

DISTINGUISHED HISTORIAN: Cooper is professor of Southern history during the Civil War
period and is the author and coauthor of six books on the Civil War-era South.
INTEREST: While all areas of Civil War history are popular, there has been a renewed
interest in revisiting the causation of the war and the South's motivation for succession.
Cooper deftly illuminates the actions and inactions that brought the nation to the precipice
and finally over it. The radical, polarizing elements on both sides of the debate and the failure
to even contemplate compromise parallels today's sense of gridlock in government.
NARRATIVE: Cooper's history dramatically builds the sense of crisis in pre-Civil War
America, and powerfully captures the escalation to war.
NEW PERSPECTIVE ON LINCOLN: Cooper argues that Lincoln's inability to comprehend
and placate the South played a significant role in the deterioration of relations between North
and South.
Author Bio: William J. Cooper, Jr., is Boyd Professor of History at Louisiana State
University and a past president of the Southern Historical Association. He was born in
Kingstree, South Carolina, and received his B.A. from Princeton and his Ph.D. from
the Johns Hopkins University. He has been a member of the LSU faculty since 1980
and is the author of The Conservative Regime: South Carolina, 1877-1890; The South
and the Politics of Slavery, 1816-1856; Liberty and Slavery: Southern Politics to 1860;
Jefferson Davis, American; and coauthor of The American South: A History. He lives
in Baton Rouge.

We Have the War Upon Us
William J. Cooper
"This meticulous study of the secession crisis of 1860-61 . . . explores the failure of compromise to prevail on the question of
slavery. . . . Politically detailed, astutely argued, Cooper's work signally contributes to the history of the start of the Civil War."
--Booklist
"Cooper leaves no stone unturned as he explores the hard decisions and compromises leading up to the war [and his] research
is thorough and unbiased, assigning credit and blame on all sides. . . . Civil War buffs will appreciate the expert examination of
the period." --Publishers Weekly
"Drawing on his wide knowledge of the time period, Cooper clearly enumerates the many ways the Civil War could have been
avoided and how many people were clueless as to the real threat, especially Lincoln. [An] illuminating Civil War history from an
expert in the field." --Kirkus Reviews
"We Have the War Upon Us is the best survey of the secession crisis published in a generation. There is no more important
question than how the Union fell apart in the wake of Abraham Lincoln's election in November, 1860. Cooper answers it with a
clarity that comes only after years of research and thought. This is a book for scholars to ponder, but for all interested readers to
enjoy." --James Oakes, author of Freedom National: The Destruction of Slavery in the United States
"William J. Cooper's superb new book reminds us that whatever the influence of vast political, social, and economic forces,
history is ultimately the story of human beings making decisions based on flawed perceptions and imperfect knowledge. This
powerful narrative will keep readers enthralled even though they know the outcome. . . . Rejecting an irrepressible conflict
interpretation, Cooper shows how the partisan, ideological, and sectional interests of political leaders gradually drove the nation
toward the abyss. This sobering work recaptures the anguish of the nation's greatest crisis and surely holds lessons for our own
time." --George C. Rable, author of God's Almost Chosen Peoples: A Religious History of the American Civil War
"In this compelling blend of crisp narrative and shrewd analysis, William J. Cooper examines the most profound crisis of the
antebellum American Union through the eyes of the contesting political camps. The result is a triumph of balanced, wise and
genuinely fresh historical writing: a book that brilliantly captures the uncertainty, the search for compromise, and the role of
contingency during these fraught months." --Richard Carwardine, author of Lincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power
"Written from the perspectives of Americans who experienced the efforts to forestall disunion and war during the five months
between November 1860 and April 1861 and could not know the full consequences of their actions, this book captures the
drama and tensions of those perilous times. Especially noteworthy is Cooper's treatment of William H. Seward, whose struggles
to patch together a compromise form the main thread running through this important book." --James M. McPherson, author of
Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief

Gettysburg: The Final Fury
Bruce Catton
TARGET CONSUMER: For fans of Pulitzer Prize-winner Bruce Catton's previous
works, including A Stillness At Appomattox, The Army of the Potomac, and This
Hallowed Ground. For readers of Civil War history and those interested in the
battle of Gettysburg.
This classic work by Pulitzer Prize winner Bruce Catton, one of the great
historians of the Civil War, takes an incisive look at the turning point of the war,
when the great armies of the North and South came to Gettysburg in July 1863.
Engaging and authoritative, Catton analyzes the course of events at Gettysburg,
clarifying its causes and bringing to life the most famous battle ever fought on
American soil. Paying full heed to the human tragedies that occurred, Gettysburg: The
Final Fury gives an hour-by-hour account of the three-day battle, from the skirmish
that began the engagement, to Pickett's ill-fated charge. Catton provides context for
the fateful decisions made by each army's commanders, and examines the battle's
military and political consequences, placing it within the larger narrative of the Civil
War and American history.

"Nothing in our time makes the Civil War as alive as the writings of Bruce Catton." --The
Baltimore Sun
"No one ever wrote American history with more easy grace, beauty and emotional power, or
greater understanding of its meaning, than Bruce Catton. There is a near-magic power of
imagination in Catton's work that seemed to project him physically into the battlefields, along
the dusty roads and to the campfires of another age." --Oliver Jensen, former editor of
American Heritage
"[Catton combines] a scholar's appreciation of the Grand Design with a newsman's keenness
for meaningful vignette.... Catton created an 'enlisted man's-eye view' of the war that treated
humanely the errors on both sides." --Newsweek
Author Bio: Bruce Catton was born in Petoskey, Michigan, in 1899. A United States
journalist and writer, Catton was one of America's most popular Civil War historians.
He worked as a newspaperman in Boston, Cleveland, and Washington, and also held
a position at the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1948. Catton's best-selling book, A
Stillness at Appomattox, earned him a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award in
1954. Before his death in 1978, Catton wrote a total of ten books detailing the Civil
War, including his last, Grant Takes Command.
Gettysburg: The Final Fury
Bruce Catton
Additional Praise for Bruce Catton:
"No one around can write of the 'terrible beauty of an army' the way Bruce Catton can." --The Washington Post Book World
"All [of Catton's Civil War books] are remarkably good books, distinguised by a vivid, fast-moving style." --The New York Times Book Review
"One of the most skillful old pros that the craft [of historical narrative] has ever known." --Saturday Review of Books
"[A] rare gift." --The New York Times
"Military history...at its best." --Chicago Tribune
"A rare combination of talent as a writer and historian." --The Kansas City Star

The Assignment
Reading Line: A Novel of Assassination
Per Wahloo
TARGET CONSUMER: For fans of Steig Larsson and his Scandinavian
forebears and contemporaries--Henning Mankell, Jo Nesbø, Håkan Nesser.
After a political assassination in South America, an unassuming diplomat is
chosen to take his place in a novel of political intrigue, by the co-author of the
acclaimed Martin Beck books.
The Provincial Resident of a desolate province in a South America has been
assassinated. When Manuel Ortega, a minor diplomat, accepts the appointment as
the dead man's successor, it seems a foolhardy decision. From the day he assumes
his post he is plunged into a violent, corrupt world, where two extremist political
factions are at odds. Ortega is caught in the middle, surrounded by people he's not
sure he can trust--his alluring secretary, the cynical chief of police, and the sullen
bodyguards who try to keep the Resident alive. As the tension rises, Ortega's actions
surprise everyone.

"The straightforwardness of an Ernest Hemingway and the color of Leon Uris." --Minnesota Daily

The Generals
Reading Line: A Political Thriller
Per Whaloo
From the coauthor of the acclaimed Martin Beck mysteries, comes a political
satire--told as a court transcript--about the court-martial of a general gone
rogue.
Corporal Edwin Velder is on trial for his life--accused of acts against the military,
government, and society. The trial is of great political importance to the brutal regime
of this unnamed country. As the proceedings unfold, we learn of the country's descent
into political tyranny--a civil war erupted in the face of a secret armed force bringing
the current generals to power. The military tribunal forces Velder to reconstruct the
events, battles, and final defeat of the island rebellion. As the inevitable verdict is
pronounced, Velder's testimony just might bring to bear yet another political revolution.

From the coauthor of the acclaimed Martin Beck mysteries, comes a supsense
novel about a former German soldier wanted for questioning in Spain about a
murder.
Willi Mohr--former German soldier, starving artist, enigmatic drifter--is arrested by
the police and subjected to a lengthy and perplexing interrogation. Unwillingly, he is
drawn back to the previous year he spent in Spain, the mysterious death of a
Norwegian couple he shared a house with and his tireless attempts to discover how
they died. As the interrogation intensifies, Mohr realizes that his own secret activities
have implicated him in a dangerous political situation. Exhausted, at the end of his
money, worn down by the police, he takes decisive action that leads to a profound
personal release.

Heartbroken
Lisa Unger
TARGET CONSUMER: Fans of Unger's previous books. Readers who like
locked-room and country-house mysteries. Female readers who like thrillers
featuring strong female leads.
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger returns with a heartpounding
standalone thriller about three women who find themselves on Heart
Island--and on a collision course none of them could have seen coming.
Kate and Emily's lives couldn't be more different. Kate is riding high on success,
having surprised her naysayers and written a popular novel based on a family love
story that ended in tragedy, while Emily is in a dead-end job and is involved with the
wrong man. Still, without knowing each other, they head to the same point on the
map: Heart Island, an idyllic place in the middle of a lake in the Adirondacks, currently
owned by the indomitable Birdie Burke. But the island has a terrifying history, one that
that the three women will have to face before their time there runs out.

REAL LIFE DRAMA
The Group Theatre and America 1931-1940
Wendy Smith
Newly reissued, the classic history of the revolutionary group that revitalized
American theater in the 1930s by engaging urgent social and moral issues that
still resonate today.
Born in the turbulent decade of the Depression, the Group Theatre revolutionized
American arts. Wendy Smith's dramatic narrative brings the incomparable, influential
troupe and its founders to life once again, capturing their joys and pains, their
triumphs and defeats. Filled with fresh insights into the towering personalities of
Harold Clurman, Lee Strasberg, Cheryl Crawford, Elia Kazan, Clifford Odets, Stella
and Luther Adler, Karl Malden, and Lee J. Cobb, among many others, Real Life
Drama chronicles a passionate community of idealists as they opened a new frontier
in theater.

CLASSIC: "This is the coolest, most objective, most valuable book on the Group Theatre we
will ever get." --Alfred Kazin
NEWLY RELEVANT: As Smith's new preface points out, our current economic woes mirror
the conditions in the 1930s that prompted Clurman, Strasberg, and Crawford to found the
Group Theatre. They dreamed of a theater that offered more than frivolous entertainment,
that grappled seriously with the problems of modern life.
REVIVAL: Since this book was first published, a new generation has claimed the Group's
legacy, founding the ReGroup Theatre in 2010, reviving many of the original Group Theatre
productions.
"The Group Theatre was unique.... For a while it was literally the voice of Depression
America. Anyone interested in the Group has to know what is in this fine book." --Arthur Miller
"Required reading on the development of modern American theatre." --Library Journal
Author Bio: Wendy Smith is a contributing editor of The American Scholar. Her book
reviews and author profiles appear frequently in The Washington Post, The Daily
Beast, Newsday, Publishers Weekly, and other publications. She has contributed
articles to American Theatre magazine and is a member of the League of
Professional Theatre Women and the Board of Advisers of the ReGroup Theatre.

Poppy is thrilled: she is marrying the man of her dreams--Magnus Tavish. Never
mind that his family of footnote-obsessed academics looks down their noses at the
fact that she is a physical therapist with no real academic credentials. Still, Magnus
has bestowed upon her the huge family emerald engagement ring. But when an alarm
goes off at the hotel where Poppy's girlfriends are all passing the ring around during a
celebratory tea, the ring vanishes in the ensuing melee. Then Poppy's cell phone gets
swiped by a bicyclist and her only means of immediate communication disappears.
She is distraught--until she sees another phone, tossed away in the hotel trash can.
Relieved, she e-mails the new number to all her friends, but then the phone rings, and
a strange man's voice demands, "Excuse me, who is this? Why are you answering
this number?" Thus ensues the best, warmest, and funniest Kinsella yet, as Poppy,
tied to a stranger by cell, text, and e-mail upends his life and her own in ways neither
could have ever imagined.
FANTASTIC ENGLISH SALES: Sophie Kinsella status as a blockbuster author only
continues to grow. Confessions of a Shopaholic has sold over one million copies in trade
paperback alone and was a major motion picture. I've Got Your Number, a New York Times
bestseller, has already sold over 275k (combined digital and print) since its publication in
February 2012.
FEMALE READERS: Women account for a large majority of our U.S. Spanish readers.
Tengo tu número will find a happy home in the U.S. Spanish market and will help us further
expand our reach into contemporary women's fiction.
TIMING: Our Spanish edition will be timed to the release of the Dell English paperback in
Spring 2013 and will feature the same cover.
TIMELY SUBJECT: Tengo tu número features a heroine whose lifeline is her cell and text,
who simply can't resist leaping to conclusions about the man whose e-mail she suddenly has
access to. Poppy's charming take on the technological nuances of modern romance will
resonate with anyone who has ever been tempted to stalk a Facebook profile or two.
Author Bio: Sophie Kinsella is the author of the bestselling Shopaholic series, as well
as the stand-alone novels Can You Keep A Secret?, The Undomestic Goddess,
Remember Me?, Twenties Girl, and I've Got Your Number. She lives in England.

After the tumultuous events of last winter, Kate, Michael, and
Emma long to continue the hunt for their missing parents. But they
themselves are now in great danger, and so the wizard Stanislaus
Pym hides the children at the Edgar Allan Poe Home for Hopeless and
Incorrigible Orphans. There, he says, they will be safe. Oh how wrong
he is. The children are soon discovered by their enemies, and a frantic
chase sends Kate a hundred years into the past, to a perilous,
enchanted New York City. Searching for a way back to her brother and
sister, she meets a mysterious boy whose fate is intricately--and
dangerously--tied to her own. Meanwhile, Michael and Emma have set
off to find the second of the Books of Beginning. A series of clues
leads them into a hidden world where they must brave harsh polar
storms, track down an ancient order of warriors, and confront terrible
monsters. Will Michael and Emma find the legendary book of fire--and
master its powers--before Kate is lost to them forever?
AN EXCITING NEW SERIES KIDS WILL LOVE: The Books of Beginning
series is a masterpiece of middle-grade fantasy, with all the strengths of
classics like The Chronicles of Narnia, seamlessly weaving action, humor,
suspense, and pathos throughout a story that unfolds in surprising and fun
ways. Its focus on children living apart from their parents could resonate with
kids whose family dynamics have changed due to death, divorce,
or--especially relevant for Spanish-speaking kids in the U.S.--immigration.
A FUN WAY TO PRACTICE SPANISH: Spanish parents in the US are
always looking for ways to help their kids maintain their Spanish. La crónica
de fuego offers an enjoyable way to do so that kids won't think of as a chore.
VINTAGE ESPAÑOL YA PROGRAM: Along with Rick Riordan's The Kane
Chronicles, Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl, Alyson Noel's Immortals series, and
Lauren Kate's Fallen, La crónica de fuego is part of an ongoing effort by
Vintage Español to bring the best of children's and YA fiction to young
Spanish readers. Vintage Español will also soon appeal to these readers
through social media specifically geared to a younger audience.
Author Bio: John Stephens is also the author of The Emerald Atlas,
the first installment in the Books of Beginning trilogy. He spent ten
years working in television and was executive producer of Gossip Girl
and a writer for Gilmore Girls and The O.C.

La vida, las ideas, las palabras del Papa que
cambiara la Iglesia
Andrea Tornielli
TARGET CONSUMER: Spanish-language readers who have enjoyed the books
about Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI and by Pope John Paul II. (Jorge
Bergoglio Francisco: The Life, Thoughts, and Words of the Pope Who Will
Change the Church)

undoubtedly change the way the Roman Cathlolic Church is viewed, written by
a leading Vatican expert.
From the onset of his papal election, the Roman bishop, as he prefers to be called,
Jorge Bergolio Francisco, gave the world clear signs of the changes his papacy will
bring. For starters, by choosing the name Francisco, he indicates his intention to

Andrea Tornielli, a leading Vatican expert, has written of the Argentine Jesuit who
will govern a divided church, and who is hoping to be the catalyst of change that will
undoubtedly impact the world in the 21st century.
FIRST EVER LATINO POPE: After more than 1,000 years of European popes, Jorge Mario
Bergoglio of Argentina (now Pope Francis I) is the first pope from Latin America.
MANY SPANISH-LANGUAGE READERS FIND POPE RELATABLE: The Catholic Church
has grown exponentially in Latin America. Hispanic Catholics comprise nearly half the
church's global membership of 1.2 billion, and almost half of the Catholic Church in the US is
Latino. The pope hails from humble beginnings; the son of immigrant parents, he was raised
with few luxuries, mirroring the plight and struggles of many US immigrants. GREAT TRACK RECORD FOR BOOKS BY POPES: Books by John Paul II and Benedict
XVI have sold millions of copies worldwide.
"Tornielli...has the goods." --Washington Post Author Bio: Andrea Tornielli is La Stampa's Vatican expert and one of the most
important and well connected journalists in Italy. He has had unparalleled access to
the process and the people included in choosing Bergoglio as the new Pope.

Junot Diaz
TARGET CONSUMER: Junot Díaz's huge, existing fanbase among Spanish
readers in the US. Fans of Oscar Wao.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Junot Díaz's newest book--a tender and inventive
collection of stories on the haunting power of love (This Is How You Lose
Her--Spanish-language edition).
On a beach in the Dominican Republic, a doomed relationship flounders. In the
heat of a hospital laundry room in New Jersey, a woman does her lover's washing
and thinks about his wife. In Boston, a man buys his love child, his only son, a first
baseball bat and glove. At the heart of these stories is the irrepressible, irresistible
Yunior, a young hardhead whose longing for love is equaled only by his
recklessness--and by the extraordinary women he loves and loses: the artistic Alma;
the aging Miss Lora; Magdalena, who thinks all Dominican men are cheaters; and the
love of his life, whose heartbreak ultimately becomes his own. In prose that is
endlessly energetic and funny, the stories in Así es como la pierdes lay bare the
infinite longing and inevitable weakness of the human heart.

Throughout his tumultuous life, Kvothe has been known by many names. But
regardless of what he is called, the simple fact remains: Kvothe is legendary. From a
childhood spent in a troupe of traveling players to his years living as a near-feral
orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a
difficult and dangerous school of magic, one thing is for certain--now a notorious
magician, an accomplished thief, a masterful musician, Kvothe has earned each and
every one of those names. As thrilling, dark, and dazzling as its central character, El
nombre del viento is a heartstopping glimpse into the mind of a dangerous soul.
AUTHOR: Author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Kingkiller Chronicles, Patrick
Rothfuss has emerged as one of the biggest new talents in the world of fantasy writing,
counting genre heavy-weights like Ursula K. Le Guin and George R. R. Martin among his
biggest fans. Said Martin of the series: "The Wise Man's Fear was worth the wait. I gulped it
down in a day, staying up almost to dawn reading, and I am already itching for the next one.
He's bloody good, this Rothfuss guy."
SERIES: This is book one of an addictive two book series, with more Rothfuss books sure to
come. Already a bestseller in Spain, US Spanish readers will surely come to love Rothfuss's
humorous, exciting, and inventive storytelling.
GENRE: Rothfuss is an exciting new addition to our Spanish fantasy program that began in
2012 with Martin's Song of Ice and Fire and has been a great success thus far.
Praise for Patrick Rothfuss
"The fantasy world has a new star." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Elegantly told and layered with images of tales to come, this richly detailed 'autobiography' of
a hero is highly recommended for libraries of any sizes." --Library Journal (starred review)
"No ordinary fantasy full of pointless quests and overblown drama. Rather, it is a finely tuned
coming-of-age story, full of humor, action, and the occasional dose of magic." --San
Francisco Chronicle
"The Name of the Wind is quite simply the best fantasy novel of the past ten years, although
attaching a genre qualification threatens to damn it with faint praise." --The Onion A.V. Club
Author Bio: Patrick Rothfuss is the New York Times bestselling author of The Name
of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear, books one and two of the fantasy series
Kingkiller Chronicles. He lives in Central Wisconsin.

Brian Castner served three tours of duty in the Middle East, two of them in Iraq as
the head of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team. Whenever IEDs were discovered,
he and his men--his brothers--would lead the way in either searching through rubble
and remains for clues to the bomb-makers' identities, or disarming the deadly devices.
And when robots and other remote means failed, one technician would suit up and
take the Long Walk to disarm the bomb by hand. This lethal game of cat and mouse
was, and continues to be, the real war within America's wars in the Middle East.
When Brian returned stateside to his wife and family, he entered an equally inexorable
struggle against the enemy within, which he comes to call the "Crazy." This thrilling,
heartbreaking, stunningly honest book alternates between two harrowing realities: the
terror, excitement, and camaraderie of combat, and the lonely battle against the
unshakeable fear, anxiety, and survivor guilt that he--like so many veterans--carries
inside.
TIMELY SUBJECT: As more veterans return to civilian life, many of them suffering from
psychological wounds like Castner's, their friends, family and community can gain a new
understanding of their experiences through memoir.
AUTHOR: An important addition to the ranks of war memoirists, Castner has one of the most
compelling and original voices to come along in decades. He has made moving, strong
appearances on Fresh Air and other programs.
ACCLAIM: The Long Walk has been well received by critics and major authors (Jon
Krakauer, Anthony Swofford).
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: A terrific pick for book clubs, The Long Walk is as much a
story of how Castner's wife helped him through his mental health struggles as one of
battlefield action, which will resonate with male and female readers alike.
"The enduring treachery of memory...remains the real, unfinished story of The Long Walk. It
takes as much courage for Castner to confront that memory as it does to face an active fuse."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Brutally honest [and] sharply observed.... Both harrowing and poignant--an intensely
personal story of what it takes not just to survive war, but also to fully leave behind the
nightmare of combat and readapt to ordinary life." --The Daily Beast
"A powerful book about the long cost of combat and the brotherhood of men at arms....
[Castner's] honesty is refreshing and the book is written with such candor and openness that
one can't help but root for him." --Anthony Swofford, author of Jarhead
Author Bio: Brian Castner, a graduate of Marquette University with an electrical
engineering degree, served three tours in the Middle East as an officer of the US Air
Force--two as the head of an EOD team in Iraq. In 2006, he received a Bronze Star
for his service. Upon returning to the United States following his service, he consulted
as an independent civilian contractor, training military EOD units on tactical
bomb-disposal procedures prior to their deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. He lives
near Buffalo, New York, with his wife and children.

The Long Walk
Brian Castner
"What makes Castner's astonishing memoir so unique is his forthright, unflinching look at postwar life." --Dallas Morning News
"Castner succeeds in taking readers into the mind of a man who is hopelessly scarred by war." --USA Today
"Castner's book maps out this new and sorrowful territory with the skill and focus of someone who has had to defuse a bomb
inside his own body." --Minneapolis Star Tribune
"So viscerally engaging that it's hard to read it without shaking. Castner writes with a keen mind, sharp intellect and literary flair. .
. . He writes with the desperate immediacy of a man whose skin has been burned away." --Austin American-Statesman
"[The Long Walk] demands to be read now. These stories remind us that we are at war, and that the effects of war will be with us
long after the final soldier returns home. They begin to make audible the too-silent struggles of the people who wage it, over
there and over here." --The Nation
"Vivid.... Castner's book intersperses stateside scenes of intense military training, off-hours hijinks and marital strife with vivid,
often grisly accounts from Iraq's war-ravaged landscape, where his EOD teams disarmed improvised explosive devices, hunted
for the bomb makers or cleaned up after their horrific handiwork while dodging gunfire and angry locals... [He writes] bluntly in
describing how he has been changed by the war."--Associated Press
"A raw, wrenching, blood-soaked chronicle of the human cost of war. Castner's memoir brings to mind Erich Maria Remarque's
masterpiece All Quiet on the Western Front." --Jon Krakauer, author of Where Men Win Glory
"Do you want to know a little something about our war in Iraq? Begin with The Long Walk, Brian Castner's elegant, superbly
written story about the bomb disposal guys. . . . Here is the reality of the exhausted mind, and of profound thought wandering all
Creation: this is what I saw, this is what I did, this is what I have become." --Larry Heinemann, author of the National Book
Award-winning Paco's Story and Close Quarters
"Damn, this is a very human book. If you have come back from Iraq or Afghanistan, or know someone who has, you need to read
The Long Walk." --Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco and The Gamble

Snow-Storm in August
The Struggle for American Freedom and
Washington's Race Riot of 1835
Jefferson Morley
TARGET CONSUMER: For readers interested in the history of our nation's
capital, the American Civil War and slavery, and a rarely explored, but
immensely important, portion of American history.
The riveting story of how the epic struggle over slavery first violently erupted in
the seat of American government.

Setting: Washington, D.C.
On an August night in 1835, the city of Washington was simmering with racial
tension, and eighteen-year-old slave Arthur Bowen drunkenly threatened his owner,
Anna Thornton, with an axe. Word of Bowen's deed spread quickly throughout the
city, and Washington's first race riot exploded. In the wake of this uprising came two
sensational criminal trials that gripped a nation. Prosecuting both cases was none
other than Francis Scott Key, the famous lyricist of the national anthem and the city's
district attorney, who aggressively defended slavery and pandered to racial fears by
seeking the maximum sentence for Bowen. But in a surprise twist his attempts were
thwarted by Arthur's ostensible victim, Anna Thornton, a respected socialite who
charmed President Andrew Jackson into considering her unlikely appeal. Snow-Storm
in August is the incredible account of the racial contradictions that once coursed
beneath the capital of a rising world power.
NOVELISTIC NONFICTION: Morley uses his experience as an investigative reporter to
reconstruct the events of 1835 and 1836 that have been oddly omitted from municipal
memory. Vividly rendered, yet academically defensible and historically credible.
ANOTHER SIDE OF FRANCIS SCOTT KEY: Most historians have not registered the patriotic
icon's career as a crusading district attorney who was zealously pro-slavery.
ANDREW JACKSON'S WASHINGTON BROUGHT TO LIFE: A broad and diverse tapestry of
capital life that takes the reader outside of the White House. The streets of Washington
pulsed with conflict, enterprise, and racial complexity.
"History so fresh it feels alive....After reading Jefferson Morley's vibrant account, one can
never hear 'The Star-Spangled Banner' the same way again." --David Maraniss, author of
Barack Obama: The Story
"Snow-Storm in August deepens our appreciation of how slavery made a mockery of the
founding and made the Civil War as close to inevitable as any event in our history." --The
Washington Post
Author Bio: Jefferson Morley is the D.C. editor of Salon. He has worked as an editor
and reporter at The Washington Post, The Nation, The New Republic, and Harper's.
Residence: Washington, D.C. Social: facebook.com/Jefferson.Morley, twitter.com/JeffersonMorley
Snow-Storm in August
Jefferson Morley
Additional Praise for Snow-Storm in August:
"[Morley's] plunge beneath the surface of history exposes realities more true to daily experience than executive proclamations or speeches in
Congress. The book's central motif is race, and the theme reverberates through a range of fascinating vignettes." --The Washington Post
"Morley skillfully weaves his several narrative threads into a vibrant and illuminating picture of the antebellum capital at a time when national
stability depended on placating the owners of slaves.... [He] reveals a tangle of back stories that eventually lead deep into a tension-filled
landscape of class resentments, provocative abolitionism and proslavery passions. It is a world peopled with vivid characters both black and
white, among them, most intriguingly, the city's district attorney, Francis Scott Key, the author of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'" --The Wall
Street Journal
"An elegant, readable narrative...Snow-Storm in August touches on themes still relevant today: unresolved racial tensions, simmering
resentment over economic disparity, influence peddling among the powerful, and the red-blue divide between conservatives and progressives
over whether human property--and their descendants--deserve the full benefits of the new nation's famously stated ideals." --The Minneapolis
Star Tribune
"Jefferson Morley boldly and elegantly recreates a moment in time when free black businessmen mingled with their white counterparts while
proponents of slavery and abolitionists struggled to co-exist in the nation's bustling capital.... A crackling good tale of the deep impact of race
and politics on a young nation struggling to create its identity." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Jefferson Morley has vividly and factually recreated a largely lost but pivotal time in Jacksonian Washington, an emerging, still somewhat
primitive capital city where racial tensions among its complex mix of white, free black, and enslaved residents inevitably lead to violence and
push the debate over abolition into the houses of Congress and the President. The historical characters, famous and forgotten, come to life in
affecting and surprising ways without fictional artifice, a tribute to Morley's meticulous research and empathetic narrative style." --Leonard
Downie Jr., former executive editor of The Washington Post
"A suspenseful tale, culminating in the court of law where Francis Scott Key upheld the country's oppression of African-Americans and
thereby helped shape the rancorous debate over slavery....Elegant and nimble history of a series of events likely unknown to many readers."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Gripping, fast-paced narrative.... Morley has given readers a noteworthy, insightful look into an often overlooked chapter in American
history." --Booklist

It seems the universe itself is conspiring against the residents of Corduory
Mansions, as they all find themselves struggling with their nearest and dearest.
Oedipus Snark's mother, Berthea, is still at work on a scathing biography of her son,
the only loathsome Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament; literary agents Rupert
Porter and Barbara Ragg are in a showdown for first crack at the manuscript of
Autobiography of a Yeti; fine arts graduate Caroline Jarvis is busy exploring the blurry
line between friendship and romance; and William French is worrying that his son,
Eddie, may never leave home, even though he's got a new, wealthy girlfriend. But
foremost in everyone's mind is William's faithful terrier, Freddie de la Hay, who has
disappeared while on a mystery tour around the Suffolk countryside. Will Freddie find
his way back to Pimlico? Is Corduroy Mansions starting to crumble?
SALES: There are more than 65,000 copies in print, across all formats, of Corduroy
Mansions, the first book in the series, and 41,000 copies of the second, The Dog Who Came
in from the Cold (published June 2011). Altogether, Pantheon and Anchor have shipped
almost 12 million copies of Sandy's titles.
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: With its diverse cast of characters, the Corduroy Mansions
series is a perfect pick for discussion groups.
AUDIENCE: Research shows Sandy's books poll very well with Anglophiles. This series--the
only one set in England--should continue to expand his already sizeable audience.
WEB: Sandy continues to add new fans through his ever-expanding web presence, including
Facebook (33,000+ fans) and Twitter (8,500+ followers) where he can interact with readers.
"Teeming with charm, this confection takes its cue from Armistead Maupin's Tales of the
City.... There are as many plots in this genial, satisfying narrative as there are characters,
and it's a testament to McCall Smith's gifts as a storyteller that he's able to bind the whole
together with such a slender narrative thread. His ample humor and grace helps."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Author Bio: Alexander McCall Smith is also the author of the international
phenomenon The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series and of the Isabel Dalhousie
series, the Portuguese Irregular Verbs series, and the 44 Scotland Street series. He is
professor emeritus of medical law at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and has
served with many national and international organizations concerned with bioethics.
He was born in what is now known as Zimbabwe and was a law professor at the
University of Botswana.

detectives. Readers of the popular series by Patricia Cornwell and Kathy
Reichs.
New York Times bestselling author Alex Kava returns in a blaze of glory with a
gripping, action-packed thriller. Can special agent Maggie O'Dell stop a
dangerous serial arsonist from terrorizing Washington D.C.?
When Maggie O'Dell is called to the capitol city to investigate a string of fires that

team suspect it's a young man who has an uncontrollable need to act out his anger,
everything she sees leads her to believe that this is the work of a calculating and
controlled criminal. Already at odds with the police, her search is soon complicated by
Jeffery Cole, an overzealous reporter looking for his big break, who decides to make
Maggie's checkered past part of his news piece, and her brother Patrick, who is
working for a private firefighting company caught in the crosshairs. And as the acts of
arson increase, and as Maggie's professional and personal worlds begin to collide,

Goodbye for Now
Laurie Frankel
TARGET CONSUMER: For fans of David Nicholls's One Day and readers
interested in the ways in which technology changes interaction with one
another. For fans of fiction dealing with grief, family relationships, and dating.
For anyone who has ever Skyped, texted, video chatted, or tried online dating.
A warmhearted, bittersweet twenty-first-century love story and an exploration of
the nature of love and life, Goodbye For Now questions whether some
relationships were meant to last forever.
After creating a computer algorithm to match people with their soul mates online,
Sam Elling meets the love of his life, Meredith. When Meredith's grandmother, Livvie,
dies unexpectedly, Sam uses his newfound free time to cull through old
correspondence--email, Facebook, Skype, texts--in order to create a computer
simulation of Livvie for Meredith to speak with one last time. Meredith loves it, and
together they adapt the program and open a company to help others through their
grief, RePose. Business takes off, but for every person who just wants to say
good-bye, there is another who can't let go. When Sam is unexpectedly hit with grief
of his own, everyone is left to consider the ultimate limit of love and relationships.

Laurie Frankel
Additional Praise for Goodbye for Now:
"Fantastic, fresh and original.... Goodbye For Now is my new One Day.... This book is beautiful.... Laurie Frankel has written these characters
with such flair--their love is obvious without being over-egged.... A pleasure to read. . . . If you are a fan of One Day you will adore this book."
--Novelicious.com
"Frankel presents a fascinating concept as she keenly and sensitively explores themes of love and loss in this tearjerker centered on
technology that pushes the boundaries of artificial intelligence. A compelling novel that tugs at the heartstrings; keep tissues handy."
"Frankel tells a touching story of how this young couple deals with a new love in a world full of loss and sadness. Her first novel, The Atlas of
Love, was a wonderful, heartfelt read, and while this book has a completely different story line, it retains that emotional core. Frankel is an
author to watch and definitely to keep in stock." --Library Journal (starred review)
"If you like your love stories modern, clever, and a little weepy (think One Day), you will adore this." --Redbook
"Computer science flirts with sci-fi when a programmer creates software that (almost) lets the living talk with the departed." --Sacramento Bee
"Somewhere in the middle of Goodbye For Now, I found myself getting angry at Laurie Frankel for moving so seamlessly between hilarious
and devastating, and for making me feel so deeply for her characters. I offer this as both recommendation and warning: this book will engross
you and affect you, and you should know that you won't be putting it down unchanged." --Carolyn Parkhurst, New York Times bestselling
author of The Dogs of Babel and The Nobodies Album
"An ingenious emotional riptide of a story that leaves your heart drifting in the gulf between losing a loved one and actually letting them go."
--Jamie Ford, Author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
"Clever, funny, moving, intelligent, Goodbye For Now is about love and loss, real live emotions and human relationships in a cyber world
taken to its extreme. Will Laurie Frankel's wonderful book capture your heart and imagination? Absolutely. You will laugh; you will cry. And
you will probably start video chatting with your loved ones daily, just in case an inspired computer genius jumps on Frankel's idea." --Garth
Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
"Goodbye for Now is a fabulous, original read--very funny, yet so sad and thought-provoking too. I couldn't put it down." --Liane Moriarty,
bestselling author of What Alice Forgot

The Pigeon Pie Mystery
Julia Stuart
TARGET CONSUMER: Fans of Stuart's previous novel, Anglophiles, and
readers who love mysteries with a good dose of charm. Will also appeal to
readers of Jane Austen, Alexander McCall Smith, and Alan Bradley.
Julia Stuart follows up her bestselling novel The Tower, the Zoo, and the
Tortoise with a clever murder mystery set in Victorian England and brimming
with her signature charm, warmhearted romances, and fabulous characters.
When Indian Princess Alexandrina is left penniless by the sudden death of her
father, Queen Victoria grants her a grace-and-favor home in Hampton Court Palace.
Though it's rumored to be haunted, Alexandrina and her lady's maid, Pooki, have no
choice but to take the Queen up on her offer, and the princess is soon befriended by
three eccentric widows who invite her to a picnic with all the palace's inhabitants. But
when General-Major Bagshot dies after eating a pie Pooki made--and the coroner
finds traces of arsenic in his body--Pooki becomes the number one suspect in a
murder investigation. Not about to let her faithful servant hang, Princess Alexandrina
begins an investigation of her own, only to discover that Hampton Court isn't such a
safe place to live after all...

times to have stepped out of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, but they too are deftly sketched."
--The Washington Post

From the moment Chief Justice John Roberts botched Barack Obama's Oath of
Office, the relationship between the Supreme Court and the White House has been
bracing. The shifting alliances and oppositions between the Roberts Court and the
Obama administration--over issues as diverse as political spending and Constitutional
law--showcase the essential and often unexpected role that the Supreme Court plays
in steering the course of the nation. No one is better positioned to guide us than
Jeffrey Toobin, whose landmark bestseller The Nine laid bare the inner workings of
the Court. In The Oath, Toobin brilliantly portrays the key personalities and cases of
the Roberts Court--and shows how Obama himself was slow to realize the importance
of the Court to his agenda. With incisive legal analysis and illuminating insider
narrative, The Oath is an essential guide to understanding the Supreme Court of our
interesting times.
PROMINENT PUBLIC FIGURE: With his frequent appearances on CNN and in The New
Yorker, Toobin is a presence in some of the most powerful and prestigious journalistic
institutions in the country. His many viewers and readers are a ready audience for the
paperback edition of his newest book.
NATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Toobin is the author of five New York Times
Bestsellers. His previous book on the Supreme Court, The Nine, was a New York Times Best
Book of the Year, winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize, and has netted over 500,000
copies in hardcover and trade paperback.
HARDCOVER BESTSELLER: The Doubleday edition of The Oath hit the New York Times,
Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and ABA IndieBound bestseller lists. It was also named a
Slate Best Book of 2012 and a Washington Post Notable Book of 2012.
"Dramatic and absorbing. . . . [Toobin] puts today's conservative judicial activism in
perspective." --The New York Times
"Deeply versed in Supreme Court lore and legal subtlety, [Toobin] draws upon first-hand
interviews with the justices and their clerks in crafting an anxious tale of the Roberts court,
casting its major rulings as looming symbols of judicial philosophy. . . . A polished and
thoughtful dissection." --USA Today

Jeffrey Toobin
More praise for The Oath:
"An artfully constructed chronicle.... For civilian readers, Toobin blends the equivalent of Con Law 101 with terrific political reportage."
--Bookforum
"A gem.... Entertains us and reminds us that it is the interplay between different personalities and agendas that more than any scholarly
argument or historical text is often at the heart of the laws we live with." --The Boston Globe
"Anyone fascinated by the inner workings of the highest court in the land will be delighted." --The Huffington Post
"[A] polished and thoughtful dissection of the current Court--led by Chief Justice John Roberts--and its high-stakes relationship to the Obama
administration.... After reading this wise book, one can fairly wonder whether the court, at its conservative core, embodies a brave corrective
for the overreach of federal policy, or amounts to a partisan plot against America." --USA Today
"Jeffrey Toobin is perhaps the most astute reporter writing about the U.S. Supreme Court." --The Seattle Times
"A worthy successor to The Nine, The Oath is a work of probity, intelligence and exceptional reporting." --Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Toobin, a rare authority who knows how to write, frames President Obama and Chief Justice John Roberts as engaged in a kind of
slow-motion showdown, like two men standing on a frontier main street, which ought to get our attention...This is, in short, a book suitable for
reading in the study or while sprawled at the beach." --Sun Times
"A lucid, lively and astute analysis of the Supreme Court during Roberts' seven-year reign as chief justice. Toobin has the chops (and the
contacts) to take readers inside the court, capture the personalities of the justices, and parse the principles at stake in cases involving the
right to bear arms, employment discrimination and campaign finance reform." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Toobin's exceptionally readable book is more than just an inside look at the largely secretive way the justices operate. He blends strong
reporting with a sure historical grasp of the court to present a persuasive argument that the five conservatives who control the court have
embarked on a deliberate course to demolish well-accepted precedents on campaign finance, gun control and abortion rights." --Columbus
Dispatch
"The Oath is the sequel to The Nine, Toobin's bestselling account of the Rehnquist Court [and Toobin] is a reliable and astute guide." --Miami
Herald
Praise for The Nine:
"Compelling. . . . Driven by the author's assured narrative voice, The Nine is as informative as it is fascinating, as insightful as it is readable."
--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"The Nine is engaging, erudite, candid, and accessible, often hard to put down. Toobin is a natural storyteller, and the stories he tells are
gripping." --The New York Times Book Review

Setting: Historical Italy
When Pope Alexander orders the courtesan Damiata to the remote fortress city of
Imola to learn the truth behind the murder of his most beloved son Juan, she knows
that the mission comes with a high risk--if she fails, the scheming pope will keep her
own son hostage. She arrives to find that a string of gruesome murders have left the
city's residents gripped by fear and uneager to help a lone woman discover the
connection between the two. Enlisting the help of an obscure Florentine diplomat,
Niccolò Machiavelli, and the eccentric military engineer Leonardo da Vinci, she sets
off to decipher the killer's taunting riddles: Damiata with her street smarts, Leonardo
aided by his groundbreaking "science of observation," and Machiavelli practicing his
new "science of men."
BESTSELLER: The Malice of Fortune was a New York Times extended bestseller as well as
an ABA IndieBound bestseller.
INCREDIBLE HOOK: In addition to setting two fan-favorite historical figures to sleuthing, The
Malice of Fortune is set against the dangerous captivating world of the Borgias, which have
been rising in popularity ever since the popular Showtime drama hit television screens. Here
we have the scheming Cesar, Pope Alexander, and Lucretia Borgia, all with a fresh spin.
TIMING: 2013 is the 500th anniversary of Machiavelli's The Prince.
LARGE POTENTIAL AUDIENCE: Ennis's historical eye will please fans of Wolf Hall, but his
knack for smart pacing, incomparable atmosphere, and creepy thrills are perfect for the
devoted readers of Deborah Harkness (The Discovery of Witches) and Elizabeth Kostova
(The Historian).
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: The Malice of Fortune reaches a shocking conclusion, and
one that's ripe for discussion. A guide is available online.
"A thrilling whodunit." --Entertainment Weekly

The Malice of Fortune
Michael Ennis
"A true masterpiece... Michael Ennis has poured the knowledge and wisdom of many lifetimes into the exquisite form of a
mystery so dark, so labyrinthine. The Malice of Fortune is stunning, terrifying, and utterly mesmerizing. I can honestly say I never
fully appreciated the genius of Machiavelli, or the savagery of the Borgias, until now." --Ann Fortier, author of Juliet
"Michael Ennis bring the Renaissance alive in this tour-de-force: The Malice of Fortune dishes out a simmering stew, thick with
chicanery, bloodshed, dastardly deeds, code-breaking, puzzle-solving, and a cast of characters that includes Leonardo da Vinci,
Niccolò Machiavelli, Francesco Guicciardini, Cesare Borgia--and Damiata, the real-life courtesan whose brassiness, brains, and
beauty dazzle even her employer and nemesis: the Pope." --Katherine Neville, author of The Eight and The Fire
"For readers who've been waiting all these years for the next The Name of the Rose--here it is. Michael Ennis brings a scholar's
mind and a writer's heart to this beautifully crafted work of Renaissance intrigue that has a rare quality of feeling ancient and
modern at the same time. A powerful thinking-man's thriller." --Glenn Cooper, author of Library of the Dead and Book of Souls
"This is a fascinating novel, filled with extraordinary, well-realized historical characters and a plot that is engrossing and wickedly
clever. The Malice of Fortune is an excellent, beautifully researched, and well-written novel that has a fine, fine sense of place. It
captured my attention up front and kept me turning the pages to the very end." --Douglas Preston, co-author of The Monster of
Florence
"With its vivid, well-defined array of characters, The Malice of Fortune captures the glorious and gritty details of Renaissance
Italy in a propulsive story. Ennis has achieved a great accomplishment, historical fiction that places us right into the characters'
present." --Matthew Pearl, author of The Monster of Florence and The Technologists

Review of Books
No woman in the Gilded Age made as much money as Hetty Green. At the time of
her death in 1916, she was worth at least 100 million dollars, equal to about 2.5 billion
dollars today. Abandoned at birth by her neurotic mother, scorned by her misogynist
father, Hetty set out as a child to prove her value. Following the simple rules of her
wealthy Quaker father, she successfully invested her money and, along the way,
proved to herself that she was wealthy and therefore worthy. Men mocked her and
women scoffed at her frugal ways, but she turned her back and piled up her earnings,
amassing a fortune that supported businesses, churches, municipalities, and even the
city of New York itself. Janet Wallach's engrossing exploration of this complex woman
reveals striking parallels between repeated past financial crises and today's recession
woes, and speaks to history buffs, women readers, and today's business tycoons,
who just might learn a thing or two from Hetty Green.
ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Janet Wallach is known as a first-rate biographer. Desert Queen has
sold more than 150,000 copies in all editions.
FILM IN DEVELOPMENT.
FOR CEOs AS WELL AS THE MAN (OR WOMAN) IN THE STREET: Hetty was the Warren
Buffett of her day, brilliant at making money and frugal in spending it. Her investment
strategies are understandable to lay readers, courtesy of Wallach's expert writing ability, but
there are fascinating lessons here for today's occupants of corner offices.
COMPARISONS: This is "forgotten history" at its finest, in the tradition of Candice Millard's
bestsellers Destiny of the Republic and The River of Doubt.
"An enthusiastic portrait of an investment pioneer who matched her male counterparts in
ambition and guile, and one who never backed down from a fight.... Filled with colorful
historical details of an economic time that eerily parallels our own." --San Francisco Chronicle
Author Bio: JANET WALLACH is the author of eight books, including Desert Queen:
The Extraordinary Life of Gertrude Bell, which has been translated into twelve
languages and was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
Residence: New York, NY, and Long Island
The Richest Woman in America
Janet Wallach
"Aspiring investors might want to memorize Hetty Green's words as they do Warren Buffett's. . . . In telling Green's story,
Wallach also tells the story of America's repeated busts and booms in a way that seems very relevant right now." --The
Washington Post
"A lively book that whisks readers through five decades of Green's wheeling and dealing. . . Wallach brings a warm empathy to
her account of Green's life and times."--The Daily Beast
"Well-researched and well-written. . . . Hetty Green was a talented investor who had the bad luck to be born in an era when a
guild, the guild of Victorian men, shut out a whole class of minds--women's." --The Wall Street Journal
"It's always fun to return to the story of Green, who died in 1916 with a fortune of $100 million. . . . Incredibly, it was money she
earned through savvy and aggressive investing. Green, who was notoriously frugal and never shied away from a fight, earned a
reputation as the mean, crazy lady of Wall Street. But Wallach presents Green's charitable self, a woman who could be wise and
witty." --New York Daily News
"An enjoyable account. . . . Wallach successfully portrays a compelling woman who kept her eyes on the glittering financial prize,
using a commonsense philosophy regarding real estate and investment throughout the nineteenth century's Wall Street
roller-coaster." --Publishers Weekly
"Dubbed 'the Witch of Wall Street,' this nineteenth-century capitalist parlayed her initial inheritance into a substantial fortune. . .
Despite her shrewd investment acumen, her remarkable achievements were often overshadowed by her well-publicized
eccentricities. . . . While she was a popular-culture icon for many of the wrong reasons, most journalists failed to acknowledge
her blistering business savvy and the tremendous power she wielded in a male-dominated arena. Wallach does Green
long-overdue service by providing an evenhanded account of her professional accomplishments and her personal peculiarities."

In this lively, wonderfully anecdotal history of fame, Ty Burr takes us on a thrilling
tour through the entertainment industry, providing us along the way with an eclectic
and original take on the true nature of celebrity. Why do we obsess over the
individuals we come to call stars? How has both the image of stardom and our stars'
images changed over the past hundred years? What does celebrity mean if people
can now become famous simply for being famous? With brilliant insight and
entertaining examples, Burr reveals the blessings and the curses of celebrity for the
star and the stargazer alike. From Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin, to Archie Leach
(a.k.a. Cary Grant), Tom Cruise, and Julia Roberts, to such no-cal stars of today as
the Kardashians and the new online celebrity (i.e., you and me), Gods Like Us is a
journey through the fame game at its flashiest, most indulgent, occasionally most
tragic, and ultimately it's most culturally revealing.
AUTHOR: As a career film critic, Ty Burr's encyclopedic knowledge of and pure relish for
movies is rivaled only by the likes of David Thomson. In short, Burr is an ideal guide for a
study like this.
HISTORY COMES ALIVE: The Best Old Movies for Families, a Vintage original, has 15,000
copies in print. What readers responded to most strongly in that book was Burr's ability to
draw parallels between the past and the present (if your teenagers like Scream, give 'em
Psycho).
MODERN AND UNIQUE: Gods Like Us is filled with anecdotes about stars of the past, but
also includes rich and detailed commentary of reality and Internet stars, making for a
wide-ranging and insightful book like none other.
"[A] lively and provocative chronicle of the genesis of movie stars and the metamorphosis of
movie stardom. [Burr] offers original thinking about the audience factor." --The New York
Times
Author Bio: Ty Burr is the film critic for The Boston Globe. For more than a decade
he wrote about movies for Entertainment Weekly, and he has also served in the film
acquisitions department of HBO. He estimates that after thirty years of serious
movie-watching, he has seen on the order of 10,680 films. On a good day, he
remembers 7,000 of them.

Gods Like Us
Ty Burr
Additional Praise for Gods Like Us:
"Wide-ranging.... Superb.... Capacious and thought-provoking.... Burr presents a fresh take on the medium's history, eschewing the standard
roll call of moguls and filmmakers, preferring to understand the triumph of Hollywood as a carefully orchestrated harnessing of the ferocious
power of celebrity." --The Boston Globe
"David Thomson, watch out! In the pithy new book Gods Like Us, Boston Globe film critic Ty Burr delivers thoughtfully epigrammatic
descriptions of movie stars, actors, and celebrities.... Gods Like Us soars when it meditates on individual stars and their personae.... The
whole book is worth guzzling for the golden nuggets on movie stars and celebrity sprinkled throughout." --IndieWire
"Any Hollywood history can describe a star's X factor. But not many film historians can see the whole equation as Ty Burr does in Gods Like
Us." --The New York Times
"A brilliant and even profound history of stardom for an era that doesn't begin to know how very badly it both wants and needs it." --The
Buffalo News
"Gods Like Us is a standout, as enjoyable as it is informative, when it comes to the astrology of public entertainment." --The Wall Street
Journal
"A lively anecdotal history of stardom, with all its blessings and curses for star and stargazer alike. From Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin to
Archie Leach (a.k.a. Cary Grant) and Marion Morrison (a.k.a. John Wayne), from Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts to today's instant celebs
famous for being famous, Burr takes us on an insightful and entertaining journey through the modern fame game at its flashiest, most
indulgent, most revealing and, occasionally, most tragic." --The Huffington Post
"Burr is an ever-witty presence on the page. A terrific writer, then, yes, but also an astute reader of history, as in his near-breathless analysis
of three midcentury seismic shifts--the emergence of Marlon Brando, television, and rock & roll. Burr gives each subject a good chew."
--Austin Chronicle
"Burr's Gods Like Us is a constantly interpretive history of and idiosyncratic meditation on stardom. . . . It is an important work, precisely
because it is such a difficult task that is all too rarely undertaken." --The Daily Beast
"Burr has both a fan's and scholar's grasp of the history of film, and he travels along a celluloid highway that extends from the early days of
Thomas Edison to Zac Efron. Of greatest interest to the author is our evolving notion of celebrity--of what celebrities mean.... A focused
history of films." --Kirkus Reviews
"Gods Like Us is an entertaining, wide-ranging account of the way movies created a new kind of fame, and changed the world in the process.
Ty Burr's encyclopedic history of movie stardom is gossipy (in the best of sense of the word) and insightful, and his cultural analysis is as
provocative as it persuasive." --Tom Perrotta, author of Little Children and The Leftovers
"The sharp, illuminating Gods Like Us is as enjoyable and addictive as the greatest bucket of movie popcorn you've ever had. For anyone
who loves cinema, this is a 'must own' book." --Dennis Lehane, author of Live by Night and Mystic River
"[A] solid analysis of celebrity.... In this fascinating cultural study, film critic Burr explores the rise of stars in the early film industry."

In-House Editor: Catherine Tung
The Investigator, a humble and ordinary man, has been ordered to conduct an
Investigation into a series of suicides that have taken place at the Enterprise--a huge,
sprawling complex in an unnamed Town. But the Investigator's train is delayed. When
he finally arrives, no one is there to meet him at the station. When he reaches the
Enterprise, he is denied entrance. The harder the Investigator tries to fulfill his task,
the more senseless obstacles he encounters: regulations hamstring him, street
layouts befuddle him, and--perhaps most unnervingly--he senses someone watching
and recording his every movement. In this highly original and absorbing work, Claudel
turns his masterful storytelling toward a sweeping critique of the contemporary world.
Like Kafka, Beckett, and Huxley, Claudel's dark fable shows that the most looming
questions of our time can only be countered with piercing intelligence and
considerable humor.
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Philippe Claudel is a bestselling author in his native France,
and his books have been translated across the world. He is the recipient of numerous literary
prizes, including the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens (for Brodeck) and the Elle Readers Literary
Prize (for By a Slow River). An award-winning screenwriter, he wrote and directed the 2008
film I've Loved You So Long, starring Kristin Scott Thomas.
A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST OF FICTION 2012 BOOK.
TRANSLATOR: John Cullen is a prize-winning translator of Claudel's work. He is the
recipient of both the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize and the French-American Foundation
Translation Prize for his rendering of Brodeck.
INSTANTLY GRIPPING: The Investigation commands our attention from the very first page.
It is filled with dark humor and laugh-out-loud funny scenes.
"A world that is by turns farcical, absurdist, allegorical.... Skillfully evokes the insidious,
modern fear that we, like the Investigator, are playing bit parts in some vast,
incomprehensible system." --The Wall Street Journal
"Impressive...a self-aware book about self-awareness, about the process of becoming a
person, the search for self.... [Claudel] has managed a rare trick." --The Daily Telegraph
(London)
"Darkly comic, pleasingly strange." --The Daily Beast
Author Bio: Philippe Claudel is the author of many novels, including Brodeck, which
won the Prix Goncourt des Lycéens in 2007 and the Independent Foreign Fiction
Prize in 2010. His novel By a Slow River has been translated into thirty languages
and was awarded the Prix Renaudot in 2003 and the Elle Readers' Literary Prize in
2004. Claudel also wrote and directed the 2008 film I've Loved You So Long, starring
Kristin Scott Thomas, which won a BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English
Language.

Praise for Brodeck:
"Arrives like a fresh, why-haven't-we-known-him discovery, revealing Philippe Claudel to be as dazzling on the page as he is on
the screen." --The New York Times Book Review
"A haunting, intensely claustrophic allegory about intolerance, trauma and guilt." --San Francisco Chronicle
"A layered recollection of wartime crimes, atrocities, cowardice, and betrayal." --The Boston Globe
"Extraordinary.... [A] modern masterpiece." --The Independent (London)
"Claudel's writing is lucid and passionate. . . . [An] excellent novel." --The Guardian (London)
"Original, brilliant, and disturbing...Claudel is a novelist of ideas, in the French tradition." --The Times (London)
"Extraordinary.... Deeply wise and classically beautiful." --The Daily Telegraph (London)
Praise for By a Slow River:
"[A] grave, achingly beautiful novel... [with the] air of universal fable.... He endows the people he writes about with a jagged
humanity that can at any moment sprout horns or wings." --The New York Times
"Filled with a gloomy beauty.... Many scenes are so evocatively rendered as to rise to the level of poetry." --San Francisco
Chronicle
"Evokes, with Poe-like mastery, the fog of apprehension that seeps into a small town after the murder of a young girl." --Vogue
"A haunted, grief-shadowed tale.... Claudel has a talent for swift, sure characterization." --The New York Times Book Review
