From one of our leading film historians and interpreters, a brilliantly researched,
irresistibly witty, delightfully illustrated examination of "the marriage movie": what
it is (or isn't) and what it has to tell us about the movies--and ourselves.
Here is "happily ever after"--except when things aren't happy, and when "ever after"
is abruptly terminated by divorce, tragedy...or even murder. With her large-hearted
understanding of how movies--and audiences--work, Basinger traces the many ways
Hollywood has tussled with the tricky subject of marriage, explicating the relationships of
countless marriages from Blondie and Dagwood to the heartrending couple in the
Iranian A Separation, from Coach and his wife in Friday Night Lights to Tracy and
Hepburn, and even to Laurel and Hardy (a marriage if ever there was one). A treasure
trove of insight and sympathy, illustrated with scores of wonderfully telling movie stills,
posters, and ads.
RAVE REVIEWS: The appealing subject of marriage in the movies coupled with Basinger's
expertise lead to the hardcover receiving excellent reviews, and Entertainment Weekly called it
"a riveting lesson in history and pop psychology, one that will appeal to film buffs of just about
every stripe, not only those interested in happily ever after."
MAJOR ACADEMIC POTENTIAL: Basinger has a large constituency in college film studies, and
as a result, books like Silent Stars and A Woman's View are constantly adopted into courses
year after year. I Do and I Don't will undoubtedly find similar interest with scholars.
"A witty look at how films portray marriage, and how these onscreen contradictions mirror the
institution itself." --O, The Oprah Magazine
"A breezy, fun excursion into Hollywood's presentation of matrimony...deeply personal." --Los
Angeles Times
"Fascinating.... The real fun comes from the splendidly crafted, creative, compelling critiques
that make you want to see many movies again or for the first time." --The Boston Globe
"Written by the esteemed Wesleyan University academic and cinematic soothsayer Jeanine
Basinger...an insightful account of how films have represented wedlock, both holy and unholy,
through the years.... Basinger has a gift for zeroing in on tantalizing details that bring a visual
medium to readable life." --USA Today
"Lively...knowing and illuminating.... Hollywood movies of the studio era were not, as Basinger
takes pains to point out, produced by naifs. Many of them convey sophisticated references to
sexual intercourse, prostitution, even homosexuality--if you know how to interpret them. That
some of us still do is often thanks to popular scholars like Basinger....Hilarious, spot-on." --Salon

A stunning debut novel--unexpected, tautly written, suspenseful--that touches on
some of the most profound questions we have about war as it tells us a haunting
story of a single mother, and her Navy SEAL son.
It begins in May 2011: Sara's son Jason has been missing for nine days in the
aftermath of a SEAL mission. Out of devotion to him, Sara--smart, modest,
tough-minded--has made herself knowledgeable about things military, and, as a
freelance editor, she frequently works for Washington policy makers and wonks. But she
knows nothing more about her son's disappearance than the press corps camped out in
her driveway. In a series of flashbacks we learn about Jason's absentee father: a man
who claimed to have been a writer but who died, according to "insiders," helping to make
the country safer. Through letters Jason wrote his mother while training, we see him
becoming a strong, compassionate leader. But his fate will be determined by events that
fall outside the sphere of his training, and far outside the strong embrace of his mother's
love.
HIGHLY PRAISED: The hardcover has received lovely reviews and blurbs, with the
incomparable Toni Morrison lauding it "a compelling story made memorable by the strength of its
elegant prose."
EXPANSIVE AUDIENCE: Eleven Days appeals to people in the military, veterans, war fiction
fans, fans of fiction about mother and son relationships, and anyone interested in the stealth and
heroism of SEAL operations, most of which we never hear about.
HEIGHTENED INTEREST IN NAVY SEALS: Fascination with Navy SEAL operations remains
high after the raid and killing of Osama bin Laden, and the popularity of films depicting SEAL
operations like Kathryn Bigelow's acclaimed Zero Dark Thirty and Mark Wahlberg's highly
anticipated Lone Survivor, in January 2014.
WELL-CONNECTED AUTHOR: From her time as Deputy Publisher of The Paris Review, and
her work as cochair of programming for the New York Public Library Council, she is known in
New York literary and media circles.
"A deeply affecting story about a mother and a son that attests to the debut of an extraordinarily
gifted writer.... Ms. Carpenter has written a novel that maps--much the way that Jayne Anne
Phillips's classic Machine Dreams and Bobbie Ann Mason's In Country did--the fallout that war
has not just on soldiers, who put their lives on the line, but also on their families, who wait
anxiously back home." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Assured debut...affecting portrayal of maternal love at a time of war." --Vogue
"Carpenter's incisive, graceful novel is certain to vault to the top of any list of high quality
literature about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan." --The Daily Beast
Author Residence: New York, New York
Lea Carpenter graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from Princeton and
earned an MBA from Harvard, where she was valedictorian. An editor of Zoetrope and a
former deputy publisher of The Paris Review, she launched Think, See, Feel, where she

Red Doc>
Anne Carson
A literary event: a follow-up to the internationally acclaimed poetry bestseller
Autobiography of Red that takes its mythic boy-hero into the twenty-first century
to tell a story all its own of love, loss, and the power of memory.
In a stunningly original mix of poetry, drama, and narrative, Anne Carson brings the
red-winged Geryon from Autobiography of Red, now called "G," into manhood, and
through the complex labyrinths of the modern age. We join him as he travels with his
friend and lover "Sad" (short for Sad But Great), a war veteran; and with Ida, an artist,
across a geography that ranges from plains of glacial ice to idyllic green pastures; from a
psychiatric clinic to the somber house where G's mother must face her death. Haunted
by Proust, juxtaposing the hunger for flight with the longing for family and home, this
deeply powerful verse picaresque invites readers on an extraordinary journey of
intellect, imagination, and soul.

Holy Terror
Andy Warhol Close Up
An Insider's Portrait by Bob Colacello
From the irrepressible Bob Colacello--former Interview editor, Warhol insider, and
perennial society fixture--comes a frank, lively account of his celebrity-studded
life with the seminal Pop artist during the 1970s.
In the 1960s, Andy Warhol's paintings redefined modern art. His films provoked
heated controversy, and his Factory was a hangout for the avant-garde. In the 1970s,
after Valerie Solanas's attempt on his life, Warhol become more entrepreneurial, aligning
himself with the rich and famous. Bob Colacello, the editor of Warhol's Interview
magazine, spent that decade by Andy's side as employee, collaborator, wingman, and
confidante. In these pages, Colacello takes us there with Andy: into the Factory office,
into Studio 54, into wild celebrity-studded parties, and into the early-morning phone calls
where the mysterious artist was at his most honest and vulnerable. Colacello gives us,
as no one else can, an intimate portrait of this extraordinary man: brilliant, controlling,
shy, and immeasurably influential. When Holy Terror was first published in 1990, it was
hailed as the best of the Warhol accounts. Now, some two decades later, this portrayal
retains its hold on readers--as does Andy's timeless power to fascinate, galvanize, and
move us.

CULTURAL ICON: No artist is more ubiquitous or well-known than Warhol. His works peek out
at us from handbags and album covers, and his name is recognized by people of all ages and
walks of life.
FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT: As a Warhol insider, Bob is uniquely qualified to write about Andy. The
New York Times calls Holy Terror "the best-written and the most killingly observed" of all the
Warhol accounts--including Andy's own diaries.
VETERAN BIOGRAPHER: In addition to his biographical profiles for Vanity Fair--on subjects
including Prince Charles, Ivana Trump, and King Constantine of Greece--Bob has also authored
the acclaimed 2004 Reagan biography, Ronnie and Nancy.
WARHOL MUSEUM: The Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, which attracts over 100,000 visitors
every year, would be an ideal venue to ensure a long life in backlist.
"Perceptive, intuitive, and amusing.... If you think you've read everything about Andy you better
at least add Bob Colacello's. It's personal, candid, and compelling." --New York Daily News
"Of the reminiscences that have appeared to date, Colacello's Holy Terror is certainly the
best-written and most killingly observed. Dissecting Warhol with an amiable but sharp wit, Mr.
Colacello also manages to give him more of a human dimension than anyone else has
succeeded in doing." --The New York Times
"By far the best of Andy Warhol's portraits, including his own. A must for anyone even vaguely
interested in Andy's life and times." --George Plimpton
Bob Colacello ran Interview magazine from 1971 to 1983. Since then, he has been a
contributing editor at Vanity Fair. The first volume of his Reagan biography, Ronnie and
Nancy: Their Path to the White House, 1911-1980, was published in 2004, and a
collection of his photographs of the Factory years, Bob Colacello's Out, was published in
2007. He lives on Long Island.

From a preeminent observer of the natural world, an inspirational portrait of Japan
after the 2011 tsunami--when hundreds of thousands of people found their world
transformed by destruction.
Witnessing the carnage the 2011 tsunami wrought on Japan from afar, author and
student of Japanese poetry and art Gretel Ehrlich found herself drawn to the devastated
Tohoku coast, to bear witness to what happened and to listen to the accounts of those
who survived. In this eloquent narrative, she brings together the stories of rice farmers,
monks, and wanderers; of fishermen who drove their boats up the steep wall of the
wave; and of an eighty-four-year-old geisha who survived the tsunami to hand down a
song that she alone remembered. Blending reportage, poetic observation, and deeply
felt reflection, Ehrlich sets these harrowing accounts against a landscape both broken
and beautiful--as the ghostly specter of the nearby Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
complex spews radiation into the fields and the fishing grounds--to craft a testament to
the resilience and humor of people who find strength in a suddenly shattered world.
GREAT REVIEWS: The book has received strong critical attention, with the San Francisco
Chronicle declaring it "unforgettable."
LA TIMES BESTSELLER: Appeared on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list at # 9.
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Ehrlich recently received the PEN Henry David Thoreau Award
for excellence in nature writing.
PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE: The author's lifelong familiarity and fascination with Japan makes
for a deeply personal and profoundly insightful look at life after the tsunami.
PUB DATE: No account of Japan's continued struggle to recover is as vivid and wise as
Ehrlich's, and the paperback will publish in time for the third anniversary of the disaster.
COVER QUOTE: "Unforgettable.... A heartrending and unexpected marvel." --San Francisco
Chronicle
"A riveting mosaic of reportage and reflection." --Elle
"Ehrlich's book adds flesh and soul and spirit to the bare bones of news reporting, filling the void
left by the media and reminding us that real people live behind the headlines." --New York
Journal of Books
"A poetic, heartbreaking look at the immediate aftermath of Japan's earthquake and
tsunami--and all that followed.... A masterpiece of narrative reportage that balances Ehrlich's
own reaction with the voices of the victims." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune

VINTAGE MOVIE CLASSICS LAUNCH: Cimarron was adapted into film twice (in 1931, which
won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and again in 1960). Along with Ferber's Show Boat,
Fannie Hurst's Back Street, and Booth Tarkington's Alice Adams, this will launch the new
Vintage Movie Classics series, in which our republishing efforts will introduce classic books that
were made into film to a fresh readership.
TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES TIE-IN: The four titles launching Vintage Movie Classics will be the
books of the month on TCM--both on air and online--for the month of March.
NEW INTRODUCTION: Julie Gilbert, Edna Ferber's great-niece, has written a new introduction
for our edition of Cimarron. Gilbert has written numerous biographies, novels, and plays. Her
biography of Edna Ferber, Ferber: Edna Ferber and Her Circle, was nominated for a National
Book Critics' Circle Award.
AUTHOR: Pulitzer Prize-winner Edna Ferber has been and will always be considered one of the
most prolific writers of American life. Her various works are still being adapted on the stage and
screen to this day.
FERBER MOMENT: Along with Cimarron and Show Boat, we will be publishing eBook editions
of Ferber's One Basket, American Beauty, A Peculiar Treasure, A Kind of Magic, Great Son, Ice
Palace, and Come and Get It.
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: Cimarron provides excellent discussion fodder about the
settling of the American West, and is ideal for reading groups looking to discuss classic
book-to-film adaptations.
VINTAGE EXCLUSIVE: This is the only available edition of this title.
"A ripping yarn...a gorgeous piece of work." --Saturday Review of Literature
"The exuberance and gusto, the robust romanticism of Miss Ferber's Cimarron are so
compelling.... Frankly glamourous, headlong in its story-telling fervor.... The scene of Cimarron
is Oklahoma, and the story is traced against one of the most spectacular backgrounds in
American life." --The New York Times Book Review
Edna Ferber was an American novelist, short story writer, and playwright. Her
bestselling novels were especially popular and included the Pulitzer Prize-winning So
Big, Show Boat, Giant, and Cimarron (made into the 1931 film that won the Academy
Award for Best Picture). She died in 1968.

Show Boat
Edna Ferber
Show Boat, the 1926 bestselling classic from Pulitzer Prize-winner Edna Ferber,
brings to life the adventurous world of Mississippi show boats, the grittiness of
turn-of-the-century Chicago, and the majesty of Broadway in 1920s New York
during an era of immense change.
Magnolia Hawks spends her childhood aboard the Cotton Blossom, growing up amid
simmering racial tension and struggling to survive life on the Mississippi. When she falls
in love with the dashing Gaylord Ravenal and moves with him to Chicago, the joy of
giving birth to their beautiful daughter, Kim, is offset by Gaylord's gambling addiction and
distrustful ways. Only when Kim sets off on her own to pursue success on the New York
stage does Magnolia return to the Cotton Blossom, reflecting on her own life and all who
once called the show boat their home.

VINTAGE MOVIE CLASSICS LAUNCH: Show Boat became a Broadway musical in 1927, and
three film adaptations followed (in 1929, 1936, and 1951). Along with Ferber's Cimarron, Fannie
Hurst's Back Street, and Booth Tarkington's Alice Adams, this will launch the new Vintage Movie
Classics series, in which our republishing efforts will introduce classic books that were made
into film to a fresh readership.
NEW INTRODUCTION: Foster Hirsch, the author of sixteen books on subjects related to movies
and theater, has written a wonderful new introduction for our edition of Show Boat.
AUTHOR: Pulitzer Prize-winner Edna Ferber has been and will always be considered one of the
most prolific writers of American life. Her various works are still being adapted on the stage and
screen to this day.
FERBER MOMENT: Along with Show Boat and Cimarron, we will be publishing eBook editions
of seven of Ferber's titles: One Basket, American Beauty, A Peculiar Treasure, A Kind of Magic,
Great Son, Ice Palace, and Come and Get It.
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: Show Boat provides excellent discussion fodder about our
nation's history, and is ideal for reading groups looking to discuss classic book-to-film
adaptations.
"Gorgeously romantic.... A spirited, full-breasted, tireless story.... A gorgeous thing to read for
the reading's sake alone.... With Show Boat Miss Ferber establishes herself...as one of those
who are reviving first-rate story-telling. This is little else but an irresistible story; but that, surely,
is enough." --The New York Times
Edna Ferberwas an American novelist, short story writer, and playwright. Her novels
were especially popular and included the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big, Show Boat,
Cimarron (made into the 1931 film that won the Academy Award for Best Picture), and
Giant. She died in 1968.

The First Four Notes
Beethoven's Fifth and the Human Imagination
Matthew Guerrieri
A unique work of musical history: the first book to examine what is perhaps the
most popular symphony ever written and its distinctive four-note opening, which
has fascinated musicians, historians, and philosophers for the last two hundred
years.
Music critic Matthew Guerrieri reaches back before Beethoven's time to examine
what might have influenced him in writing his Fifth Symphony, and forward into our own
time to describe the ways in which the Fifth has, in turn, asserted its influence. He
uncovers possible sources for the famous opening notes in the rhythms of ancient Greek
poetry and certain French Revolutionary songs and symphonies. Guerrieri confirms that,
contrary to popular belief, Beethoven was not deaf when he wrote the Fifth. He traces
the Fifth's influence in China, Russia, and the United States (Emerson and Thoreau
were passionate fans) and shows how the masterpiece was used by both the Allies and
the Nazis in World War II. Altogether, a fascinating piece of musical detective work--a
treat for music lovers of every stripe.

BOOK OF THE YEAR: The First Four Notes was named Los Angeles Magazine's #1 Music
Book of the Year, a Time Magazine Top 10 Nonfiction Book of 2012, and one of The New
Yorker's Best Books of the Year.
LARGE MUSIC AUDIENCE: Intelligent, lively, informative books about classical music have
proven to attract wide and long-standing readerships, and paperback fans of Stuart Isacoff and
William Berger will flock to Matthew Guerrieri.
UNIQUE APPROACH: No other book has examined the making of the Fifth Symphony in this
way, authoritatively looking behind the myths that have surrounded it for two centuries. It is
brimming with new, often surprising information about the music, the composer, and the long
reach of the symphony around the globe.
"How do four simple notes--da-da-da-DUM--inspire everyone from Ralph Waldo Emerson and
Mao Zedong to the Nazis and the Allies in WWII? Guerrieri uncovers everything you'd ever want
to know about Beethoven's most famous symphony, from its composition in 1808 to its
disastrous premiere through its more recent incarnation as a rallying cry for both discotheques
and cellphone ringtones." --Los Angeles Magazine, #1 Music Book of the Year
"Spectacular.... We can use more commentators and advocates, in other words, like Matthew
Guerrieri, who can restore a sense of beauty, wonderment and profundity to classical music.
The First Four Notes brings back into memory many unfairly forgotten musicians, writers and
scholars whose work would otherwise continue to drift into obscurity.... This book should serve
as an inspiration to look, listen and read further." --The Wall Street Journal
Author Residence: Framingham, MA
Matthew Guerrieri is the music critic for The Boston Globe, and his articles have also
appeared in Vanity Fair, NewMusicBox, Playbill, and Slate. He is responsible for the
popular classical music weblog Soho the Dog (http://sohothedog.blogspot.com).

Back Street
Fannie Hurst
From bestselling author Fannie Hurst, this 1931 novel tells the melodramatic and
heart-wrenching tale of Ray Schmidt, who went from being the most desired
companion in Cincinnati to living along the "back streets" of a married man's life.
When "fly girl" and gorgeous socialite Ray Schmidt first meets Walter Saxel in
Cincinnati, their attraction is instant and everlasting. As their bond deepens, Ray finds
herself envisioning a future with Walter, until one fateful day when the settling of her
family affairs interferes with their plans to meet, and his relationship with another woman
forms. Though years pass and Ray manages to carve out a life for herself in New York
City, Walter remains in her memory, and a chance run-in with him leads them both to fall
into their former ways. What unfolds is the fascinating tale of what life was for selfless,
devoted Ray, a prisoner to a cycle of neglect and her love for the one man who could
never value her for who she was.

Snapper
Brian Kimberling
A great, hilarious new voice in fiction: the poignant, all-too-human recollections of
an affable bird researcher in backwater Indiana as he goes through a disastrous
yet heartening love affair with the place and its people.
Nathan Lochmueller studies birds for just enough money to live and learn on. He
drives a glitter-festooned truck, the Gypsy Moth, and he is in love with Lola, a woman so
free-spirited and mysterious she can break a man's heart with a sigh or a shrug. Around
them swirls a remarkable cast of characters: the proprietor of Fast Eddie's Burgers, the
genius behind "Thong Thursdays," Uncle Dart, a Texan who brings his swagger to
Indiana with profound and nearly devastating results; a snapping turtle with a taste for
thumbs, a German Shepherd who howls backup vocals, and the very charismatic state
of Indiana itself. And at the centre of it all: Nathan, creeping through the forest to
observe the birds he loves, and coming to terms with the accidental turns his life has
taken.

PRESS: The harcover of Snapper was everywhere. It was an IndieNext pick; an NPR First
Reads; an O, the Oprah Magazine: 10 Titles to Pick Up Now; and ELLE magazine's Readers'
Prize Picks. Brian appeared on CBS Sunday Morning. On NPR's Morning Edition, Nancy Pearl
called it "A love letter to learning how to accept what happens in your life." Perhaps most oddly
Real Housewives of NYC star Carole Radziwill called Snapper a perfect vacation read in The
NY Post.
TIMING: Snapper is a perfect spring book. With its celebration of nature and birds, it will make a
great companion for any hike or outdoor excursion, and the paperback format is tailor made for
this kind of rustic reading
BIRDERS: Birders love Snapper (there are more members of birding watching clubs then book
clubs). Margaret Atwood, a noted birder, tweeted about Snapper calling it "funny and adroit"
fiction.
COMING-AGE-STORY: The coming-of-age tale ebbed within Brian's hilarious portrait of the
Midwest could offer some YA crossover potential for the paperback.
HOUSE AUTHOR: We have Brian signed up for another novel, so he is an author we are
looking to build.
"Fascinating. . . . Like Indiana's leaves, the colors of Kimberling's book are vivid, often
startling."--The Washington Post
"Poignant as well as thought-provoking -- a delightful departure from the ordinary . . . . It's quite
a feat, to keep readers reading on the strength of laughter. Kimberling . . . turns the trick
effortlessly."--The Seattle Times

Brian Kimberling grew up in Southern Indiana, and spent two years working as a

Class A
Baseball in the Middle of Everywhere
Lucas Mann
An unforgettable chronicle of a year of minor-league baseball in a small Iowa
factory town that follows not only the travails of the players of the Clinton
LumberKings but the lives of the dedicated fans and of the town itself.
Lucas Mann strikes gold as he tells the unforgettable story of the Clinton
LumberKings. Clinton, long ago a thriving lumber town, is now facing hard times. In a
Depression-era stadium, young ball players attempt to rise through the "farm" system to
make it to the Show, at the same time that players past their prime cling to the game
they love. Here is the former major league backup catcher turned minor league
manager. Here are the players coming from as far as Nicaragua to chase a shot at
stardom. Here also is the radio announcer, the general manager, the diehard fan, and
the author himself, who grows increasingly immersed in the world of the stadium. With
humor, curiosity, and compassion, Mann investigates the hope and meaning, both real
and imagined, that the game provides everyone involved. Part sports story, part
sociological inquiry, part memoir, Class A is a moving and unique study of why we play,
why we watch, and why we remember.

BASEBALL: The shelves are rich with cherished classic baseball tales. The stories in Class A
come at the game with fresh insights. Class A is a small gem which will appeal not only to all
those fans who follow minor-league or major-league ball, but to anyone who has ever played the
game, or rooted for their hometown team.
WRITER TO WATCH: Mann's writing is reminiscent of a combination of George Will's baseball
smarts, the literary journalism of Joseph Mitchell, Dave Eggers's self-deprecating, inventive
humor, and Studs Terkel's oral histories. Mann has a storyteller's gift, placing himself in the
middle of his richly detailed stories and bringing you along for the ride. He can be both funny
and serious, and has an impeccable sense of timing.
CATEGORY-DEFYING: This not just another sports story. Rather it uses baseball as a lens into
how we experience life. Class A is literary nonfiction of the highest caliber.

Our reissue of Paradise, which will include a new foreword by the author,
completes our Morrison backlist and gives us the epic story of Ruby, Oklahoma,
"the one all-black town worth the pain."
Paradise opens with one of Morrison's most raw and Faulknerian scenes: early one
morning in 1976, nine men from the town of Ruby, Oklahoma--population 360, all
black--unleash an assault upon a convent seventeen miles away. The misfortunes
suffered in Ruby, the men believe, come from the convent women, who are rumored to
engage in witchcraft and abortion. From this fateful moment of collision, Morrison takes
us back to the town's origins in 1890, when it was founded by former slaves. She then
guides us through Ruby's tumultuous journey through the twentieth century, as
generations are born and lost, as racial turmoil shakes the nation. As time wears on, the
residents of Ruby become ever more convinced that they must isolate themselves in
order to preserve their freedom and dignity. Richly imagined and elegantly composed,
Paradise is a deeply resonant allegory, one of Morrison's most ambitious works.
SALES: Morrison's novels have sold over 2 million copies at Vintage.
FOREWORD FROM AUTHOR: The reissue will include a new foreword by Morrison.
COMPLETE BACKLIST: Paradise, reverting to us from Plume, completes our Morrison backlist
at Vintage International. As the concluding volume to the trilogy that began with the bestselling
Beloved and continued with Jazz, Paradise holds an essential role in that list.
CANONICAL WRITER: Toni Morrison's work has left an indelible mark on American literature.
As the only living American Nobel Laureate, she is the face of our literary culture and a staple of
reading lists in schools across the country.
"Complex and impressive.... With Paradise, Morrison has brought it all together: the poetry, the
emotion, the broad symbolic plan." --The New York Times Book Review
"Stunning.... Morrison at her novelistic best." --The New Yorker
"A fascinating story, wonderfully detailed.... The town is the stage for a profound and provocative
debate--always personified and always searching--about black identity and destiny in America's
past and present." --Los Angeles Times
"Morrison dazzles.... With an ear as sharp as glass she has listened to the music of black talk
and uses it as a palette knife to create black lives and provide some of the best fictional dialogue
around today." --The Nation
Author Residence: New York
Toni Morrison is the author of ten novels, from The Bluest Eye (1970) to Home (2012).
She has received the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize. In 1993
she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

A riveting tale of the weather's most vicious monster--the super cell tornado--that
re-creates the origins of meteorology, and the quirky, pioneering,
weather-obsessed scientists who helped change America.
In Storm Kings, Lee Sandlin retraces America's fascination and unique relationship to
tornadoes and the weather. From Ben Franklin's early experiments, to "the great storm
debates" of the nineteenth century, to heartland life in the early twentieth century,
Sandlin shows how tornado chasing helped foster the birth of meteorology, recreating
with vivid descriptions some of the most devastating storms in America's history,
including the "Tri-State tornado" of 1925 and the Peshtigo "fire tornado," whose deadly
path of destruction was left encased in glass. Drawing on memoirs, letters, eyewitness
testimonies, and numerous archives, Sandlin brings to life the forgotten characters and
scientists--like James Espy, America's first meteorologist and Corporal John Park Finley,
who helped place a network of weather "spotters" across the country--that changed a
nation, detailing the almost invisible history of The National Weather Service, the settling
of the Midwest, and how successive generations came to understand and finally coexist
with the spiraling menace that could erase lives and whole towns in an instant.
EXPERT: Even before the tragic tornadoes that struck Moore, Oklahoma, Lee's expert
knowledge of all things tornado was being picked up on by reviewers. Afterwards he became a
sought after talking-head, appearing on The Weather Channel with Al Roker, CBS, MSNBC,
NPR, and writing an op-ed for USA Today.
TORNADO SEASON: We will publish the paperback into tornado season. With the anniversary
of the Oklahoma tornados looming, and any others that may occur, we have a chance to once
again pitch Lee to numerous media for commentary.
TORNADO CHASERS: Americans are obsessed with tornadoes. Storm chasing and the spread
of video cameras have resulted in hundreds of videos documenting close encounters with
violent tornadoes on YouTube and elsewhere.
HOUSE AUTHOR: We have two more books coming from Pantheon, with our paperbacks to

The New Digital Age
Reshaping the Future of People, Nations, and Business
Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen
In an unparalleled collaboration, two leading global thinkers in technology and
foreign affairs give us their widely anticipated, transformational vision of the
future: a world where everyone is connected.
Schmidt and Cohen have traveled the world, meeting with world leaders,
entrepreneurs, and activists to learn firsthand about the challenges they face. With their
combined knowledge and on-the-ground experiences, they are uniquely positioned to
take on some of the toughest questions about our future: Who will be more powerful in
the future, the citizen or the state? Will technology make terrorism easier or harder to
carry out? What is the relationship between privacy and security, and how much will we
have to give up to be part of the new digital age? How will war, diplomacy, and
revolution change when everyone is connected, and how can we tip the balance in a
beneficial way? When broken societies are rebuilt, what will they be able to do with
technology?

Alice Adams
Booth Tarkington
From bestselling author Booth Tarkington, this 1921 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel
tells the story of the resilient Alice Adams, whose aspirations and social
ambitions come to life amidst the post-WWI American Midwest.
In a small midwestern town in the wake of World War I, Alice Adams delightedly finds
herself being pursued by Arthur Russell, a gentleman of a higher social class in life.
Desperate to keep her family's lower-middle-class status a secret, she and her parents
concoct various schemes to keep their family afloat. Though ultimately the realities of
her situation reveal themselves to be too great to overcome, and her relationship with
Arthur fizzles, Alice's acceptance of this leads her to seek out work to support her family
with an admirable resiliency. An enchanting and authentic tale of a family's aspirations to
seek more out of life, Alice Adams reveals the strength of the human spirit and its
incredible ability to evolve.

VINTAGE MOVIE CLASSICS LAUNCH: Alice Adams was adapted into film twice. First, in 1923,
and again in 1935, which starred Katharine Hepburn and garnered Academy Award nominations
for Best Picture and Best Actress. Along with Edna Ferber's Show Boat and Cimarron, and
Fannie Hurst's Back Street, this will launch the new Vintage Movie Classics series, in which our
republishing efforts will introduce classic books that were made into film to a fresh readership.
NEW INTRODUCTION: Prolific film writer Anne Edwards is contributing the introduction for our
edition of Alice Adams, and as the biographer of the 1935 movie's star, Katharine Hepburn (A
Remarkable Woman), she is uniquely positioned to do so. Along with having written dozens of
film biographies, Edwards is also a novelist and former screenwriter, and past president of the
Authors Guild.
ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Booth Tarkington is one of only three novelists (alongside William
Faulkner and John Updike) to have won the Pulitzer Prize more than once, for Alice Adams and
The Magnificent Ambersons. Much of his fiction takes place in the Midwest, and he has been
widely praised for his depictions of American life.
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: Alice Adams provides excellent discussion fodder about what
life was like for women in the early 20th century after WWI, and is ideal for reading groups
looking to discuss classic book-to-film adaptations.
"The most significant contemporary American author." --booksellers, in a 1921 poll conducted by
Publishers Weekly
Author Hometown: Indianapolis, IN
Booth Tarkington (1869-1946) was a highly acclaimed and bestselling American novelist
and dramatist from Indiana. He attended both Purdue University and Princeton
University, and though he never completed his degree, he was voted "most popular" by
the Princeton class of 1893. He is best known for his two Pulitzer Prize-winning novels
The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams.

Feature on WeeklyLizard.com
The first in a new series from acclaimed hardboiled crime author Andrew Vachss,
his first new series since the Burke series, in which a husband and wife discover
the dark underbelly of their idyllic Pacific Northwest town.
Formerly a nurse with Medicins San Frontieres, Dolly has become a defender and
confidante to dozens of local teenagers. She refuses to accept that star softball pitcher
MaryLou McCoy's gunning down popular Cameron Taft in a high school hallway is a
typical school shooting. MaryLou's guilt is not in doubt, but she inexplicably insists on a
trial, yet refuses to cooperate with her defense. Dolly enlists all her resources--including
her legal contacts and her husband--to seek out the truth about whatever secret
MaryLou may be guarding. Dolly's husband, Dell, doesn't hesitate to sign on for her
quest. A former mercenary and ex-Legionnaire, Dell treats this job as he would any
other--no boundaries. He will use his entire arsenal--guile, extortion, tracking devices,
shadow networks, and, finally, an act of terrorism--to blow the cover off the soul-killing
rite of passage demanded of the town's most vulnerable girls.
NEW SERIES: Dell and Dolly are Andrew Vachss's first new series characters since his Burke
series concluded in 2008. For crime fiction readers who are looking for a new series to follow,
this could be it.
NEW READERS: Dell and Dolly's relationship is a key part of the novel; it may entice some new
readers to Vachss, and bring back other longtime fans who have been searching for a new
series. Vachss had a successful signing at San Diego Comic Con in 2013, where he connected
with new readers and old fans alike.
SEQUEL TO COME: The second book to feature Dell and Dolly, Shockwave, will be published
by Pantheon in June '14.
"Andrew Vachss impresses again with his new, dark and compelling thriller." --Largehearted Boy
"Razor-edged and compulsively readable, the pages fly by." --Library Journal
"As in all his works, Vachss explores the horrific intersection of victims and victimizers, evil and
avengers. The setting has moved from urban to small town, but the eternal conflict is as it ever
was. As always, Vachss is disquieting but engrossing." --Booklist
"[The] compelling first in a new thriller series.... The steadfast, relentless Dell...commands
attention." --Publishers Weekly

Review of Books
The powerful new novel from the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun--a
story of love and race centered around a young man and woman from Nigeria and
the choices and challenges they face in the countries they come to call home.
As teenagers at a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their
Nigeria is under a military dictatorship, and people are fleeing the country. Beautiful,
self-assured Ifemelu departs for America, where she suffers defeats and triumphs, finds
and loses relationships and friendships, and is forced to confront something she never
thought about back home: race. Obinze--the quiet, thoughtful son of a professor--had
hoped to join her, but post-9/11 America has closed its doors to him and he plunges into
a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, Obinze is a wealthy man
in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as the writer of an
eye-opening blog about race in America. But when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, and she
and Obinze reignite their shared passion--for their homeland and for each other--they
face the toughest decisions of their lives. Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and
tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story
set in today's hyper-globalized world.
STUNNING REVIEWS: Americanah has received glowing reviews from around the country, with
New York magazine dubbing it "a new kind of migration story: a Great Global Novel."
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: Hit the New York Times list at #24 and the Los Angeles Times list at
#19.
PERFECT FOR READING GROUPS & BOOK CLUBS: There is so much to discuss in this new
novel which, unlike Chimamanda's earlier books, is set in large part in the US. We have a
reader's guide already in place.
BACKLIST: Adichie's previous works, Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun, and The Thing
Around Your Neck are in print from Anchor. The latter two are also available as eBooks. Half of
a Yellow Sun, Adichie's best-selling epic, is considered a classic, with more than 100,000 in
print in all editions. It won the Orange Prize, was an NBCC Finalist and a New York Times
Notable, and has been adapted for film. It will premiere at this year's Toronto International Film
Festival. This eagerly anticipated novel is her first in seven years.
"Dazzling. . . . Funny and defiant, and simultaneously so wise. . . . A brilliant treatise on race,
class and globalization, and also a deep, clear-eyed story about love." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Superb . . . Americanah is that rare thing in contemporary literary fiction: a lush, bighearted love
story that also happens to be a piercingly funny social critique.... Love remains the last great
hope for solving America's complicated relationship with race." --Vogue
"Adichie is an extraordinarily self-aware thinker and writer.... Americanah [is] a deep-seated
discussion of race [that is] also a steady-handed dissection of the universal human experience.
Trenchant and hugely empathetic, both worldly and geographically precise, [it] holds the realities
of our times fearlessly before us, [and] never feels false." --The New York Times Book Review

The Lovebird
Natalie Brown
A spectacularly vibrant, original debut, The Lovebird takes us from California to
Montana, and introduces us to Margie Fitzgerald, a spirited and unforgettable
heroine.
Margie has always had a soft spot for helpless creatures. Her warm heart breaks, her
left ovary twinges, and she is smitten with sympathy. This is how she falls in love with
Simon Mellinkoff, her charismatic, obviously troubled Latin professor. As the two embark
on an unconventional romance, Simon introduces Margie to his small coterie of
animal-rights activists, and with this ragtag group she finds her apparent mission in life.
But Margie's increasingly reckless and dangerous actions force her to flee her California
college town, say goodbye to her fragile dad, and seek shelter in a place more different
than any she has ever known: a Crow Indian Reservation in Montana.

A comprehensive new biography which solves the enigma that was Robert
Oppenheimer and brilliantly illuminates his contributions to the world-changing
physics of the twentieth-century.
Acclaimed biographer Ray Monk delves into the rich and complex life of America's
most fascinating and elusive scientist: Robert Oppenheimer, "the father of the atomic
bomb." As a young professor at Berkeley, the wealthy, cultured Oppenheimer came into
his own as a physicist and also began a period of support for Communist activities--two
decisions that had a profound impact, on his life and on mankind. Chosen to lead the
Manhattan Project to develop the deadliest weapon on earth, Oppenheimer came to fear
he had brought mankind to the precipice of self-annihilation and refused to help create
more powerful devices. This brought down upon him the wrath of McCarthyite suspicion,
and over the course of numerous dramatic public hearings, he was stripped of his
security clearance and publicly shamed. Drawing on original research and interviews,
this biography traces the wide range of influences on Oppenheimer's development--his
Jewishness, his social isolation, his radical politics, and the science that made him
famous. This definitive portrait finally uncovers the extraordinary, charming, tortured man
whose mind fundamentally reshaped the world.
AUTHOR: Ray Monk's previous biographies have received significant critical acclaim. His
Ludwig Wittgenstein was awarded the Duff Cooper Prize for the best nonfiction work published
in English. (Past winners include Robert Skidelsky, John Keegan, and Adam Hochschild.)
A FRESH TAKE: Explains Oppenheimer's contributions to physics and his relationships with the
other legendary scientists of the twentieth century--Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg,
Max Born--and makes challenging concepts clear for all readers.
ARCHIVAL MATERIALS: Draws on letters and interviews to bring Oppenheimer the man vividly
to life.
REVIEWS: The Financial Times calls it "the definitive biography."
Praise for Robert Oppenheimer:
"[Monk] writes well and provides a convincing portrait of Oppie's success and his ambivalence
after the bombs were dropped on Japan. Monk gives equally detailed coverage of the postwar
years of Oppenheimer's national celebrity, followed by a gathering storm over his past and his
questioning of the H-bomb.... Monk's biography is judicious, comprehensive and reliable, and
bids fair to become one of the two most important lives of Oppenheimer. It certainly puts science
back squarely in the middle of that life."-- Washington Post
"An extraordinarily rich biography, superbly researched and written with impressive clarity."
--The Times (London)
"Monk's work stands apart for its attention to his work in physics.... This grand biography
illuminates the genius of a fascinating scientist as driven by his own research as he was driven
to lead and inspire others." --Publishers Weekly
"[A] deeply humanizing biography.... Monk delves deeper than any predecessor into
Oppenheimer's inner life.... Perceptive and detailed, this portrait illuminates a potent but
complex mind." --Booklist, starred review
"A highly detailed examination of the life and times of Robert Oppenheimer.... A top-notch
biography." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"[Monk's] 800 pages of deep research and lucid prose constitute a masterclass in how
biography, done well, gets us closer to the mindset of an age than any other kind of inquiry."
--The Guardian (London)

Bombay Stories
Saadat Hasan Manto; Translated by Matt Reeck and
Aftab Ahmad
Sometimes shocking, always revelatory classic short stories about life in
mid-twentieth-century Bombay, from acclaimed Pakistani author Saadat Hasan
Manto. A Vintage Original.
Freshly arrived in 1930s Bombay, Saadat Hasan Manto saw a city like no other--an
exhilarating hub of license and liberty, bursting with both creative energy and helpless
despondency. It was to be his muse, and he was among the first to capture its seedy
underbelly--the prostitutes, pimps, and gangsters that filled its streets--as well as the
aspiring writers and actors who arrived looking for fame. Manto's hard-edged, moving
tales remain, a hundred years after his birth, startling and provocative--in searching out
those forgotten by humanity, these stories get to the core of what it means to be human.

FOREIGN PUBLICATIONS: Bombay Stories was published by Random House India in 2012
(the centenary of Manto's birth) and the UK will publish simultaneously with us.
RE-ESTABLISHING A MAJOR AUTHOR: Manto is widely considered one of the greatest Urdu
(the language of Pakistan) writers of all time. His stories about Bombay are among his finest. A
fascinating profile, "The Seer of Pakistan" by Ali Seth, ran in the New Yorker last year and
discusses the deeply ironic, often visionary fiction of Manto.
LITERARY FANS: Salman Rushdie, Raj Parameswaran, Hari Kunzru, Daniyal Mueenudin,
Suketu Mehta, Kiran Desai, and Anita Desai all love Manto's work. We will approach them for
blurbs and a new introduction.
BOMBAY: Brings together in one volume Manto's writings about Bombay from throughout his
career.
Praise for Manto:
COVER QUOTE: "The undisputed master of the modern Indian short story." --Salman Rushdie
"I would travel anywhere with Manto. In every lane, he points out the errors of God. In every
bazaar, he kicks away the gold coins of men. He can hear color in betrayal and street argument,
and can smell disease in the bloodstream. As long as there is a Lahore, a Bombay, a Toba Tek
Singh, a Wagh--Manto will be alive. He is magnificently immortal." --Nadeem Aslam, author of
Maps for Lost Lovers
"There is still no literary rival to Manto ... [and] as communalism, religious intolerance and enmity
between India and Pakistan continue to grow, his stories are still highly relevant." --The
Independent (London)
"Manto's irony and humanity raise him on par with Gogol." --Anita Desai
"One of our greatest short-story writers." --Tariq Ali
"Manto's stories will endure as perhaps the best work of fiction on the Partition and its painful
impact on the Indo-Pak ethos." --Indian Express (Mumbai)
Saadat Hasan Manto was born in what is now Punjab in 1912. An acclaimed
Urdu-language short story writer, he also worked as a journalist and wrote extensively
for film and radio throughout Indian and Pakistan. He died in 1955.

The Folklore of Discworld
Legends, Myths, and Customs from the Discworld with
Helpful Hints from Planet Earth
Terry Pratchett & Jacqueline Simpson
Terry Pratchett, the creator of the bestselling series, teams up with a British
folklore scholar to produce this guide to the folklore of Discworld, and how it
connects to our own world. AN ANCHOR ORIGINAL PAPERBACK.
Legends, myths, fairy tales, and superstitions: Our world is made up of stories we tell
ourselves about why things happen and how they came to be. It is the same on
Discworld, except that beings and stories on Earth who are all imaginary--vampires,
trolls, giants, witches, and--possibly--gods, are utterly real and living their lives like
anyone else on the Disc. An invaluable reference resource for Discworld fans, and a
fascinating read for anyone interested in British folklore history. Through the lens of
Terry Pratchett's fictional universe, Jacqueline Simpson offers an illuminating
perspective on the purpose that traditions and stories serve in our lives.

TIMING: This is the first paperback of our 10-title Terry Pratchett program. Publication of The
Folklore of Discworld will be timed to coincide with Doubleday's publication of the new Discworld
novel, Raising Steam.
NEW MATERIAL FOR U.S. PUBLICATION: The Anchor edition of The Folklore of Discworld will
feature additional content for the U.S. market, about creatures from the four novels that have
come out since its UK publication in 2008.
SALES: Pratchett's books have been translated into 38 languages and have sold more than 80
million copies worldwide. His last four novels were all New York Times bestsellers, and three of
them were in the Top 5. He is huge in the UK, where his books are usually the #1 bestselling
hardcover of the year--except in years when a Dan Brown book is published. Then he's #2.
SERIES: The Discworld is a flat, disc-shaped world that is carried on the back of a space-turtle.
It is a world very much like ours (which exists, in Pratchett's universe, as Roundworld), but one
that is magical and populated by every fantastical character imaginable: wizards, witches,
dwarfs, fantastic creatures of all types from stone trolls and gargoyles to flying griffins, and even
Death himself.
ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Sir Terry Pratchett is one of the bestselling and most beloved British
authors of his generation. He brings to fantasy fiction the same irreverent humor and
society-skewering satire that Douglas Adams brought to science fiction. In the 31 years since
the first Discworld novel was published, the universe has expanded to include more than fifty
titles authored or coauthored by Pratchett. His 2011 novel Snuff won the Bollinger Everyman
Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction, and his 2012 YA novel Dodger was named an ALA Michael
L. Printz Honor Book and a Kirkus Best Teen Novel for 2012.
Praise for The Folklore of Discworld and Terry Pratchett:
"Beautiful analysis of the overlapping myth and legends in both Discworld and ours. You'll learn
a lot about each." --The Bookseller
"Terry Pratchett is more than a magician. He is the kindest, most fascinating teacher you ever
had." --Harlan Ellison
"Terry is that rarity, the kind of author who likes writing, not having written, or Being a Writer, but
the actual sitting there and making things up in front of a screen.... Satire is a word that is often
used to mean that there aren't any people in the fiction, and for that reason I'm uncomfortable
calling Terry a satirist. What he is, is A Writer, and there are few enough of those around." --Neil
Gaiman (Worldcon 2004)
"Like all great creators of imaginary worlds, Terry Pratchett writes like an enthralled and driven
reader. He creates a brilliant excess of delectable detail, he respects his own creation and his
readers." --A. S. Byatt
"It is [his] closeness to reality--within a fantasy context--that makes Pratchett's books so popular
with a wider readership than merely the goblin junkies and interplanetary nargs." --The Sunday

Stranded
A Maggie O'Dell Novel
Alex Kava
The next action-packed thriller in the New York Times bestselling Maggie O'Dell
series, in which Maggie must stop brutal serial killer who targets his victims at
truck stops along America's lonely highways.
When FBI special agent Maggie O'Dell and her partner, Tully, discover the remains of
a young woman in a highway ditch, the only clue is a map that suggests the madman's
next murder will be at another rest stop. As the body count rises, Maggie races against
the clock to unmask the monster who's terrorizing the nation's highways, finally asking
for help from a former foe who seems to know just what the killer's next move will be.
But as she gets closer to finding the killer, it becomes eerily clear that Maggie is the
ultimate target.

The Madonna on the Moon
Rolf Bauerdick
This award-winning fiction debut is set in 1957 in a tiny Carpathian village of
gypsy-philosophers and scholar-priests, where communism is slowly
encroaching.
November 1957: The Soviets have just launched the Sputnik. Communism rules in
Eastern Europe, but the village of Baia Luna, nestled in the Carpathian mountains, is a
world unto itself, populated with gypsies, philosophers, priests--and exiled dissidents.
Fifteen-year-old Pavel Botev's world begins to unravel when his teacher, Angela
Barbulescu, asks Pavel to hang a photo of the new party secretary, then whispers a
startling directive into his ear: "Send this man straight to hell. Exterminate him." By the
next morning, she has disappeared. When the police arrive, they are more interested in
rooting out opposition than in finding the teacher. Once the priest turns up murdered,
Pavel knows he has to find out what is happening to his village. By turns grippingly
realist and enchantingly surreal, The Madonna on the Moon announces the arrival of an
important new voice in fiction.

EUROPEAN BOOK AWARD: The Madonna and the Moon garnered this honor just last month,
chosen from a pool of nominees across that entire continent.
AUTHOR: Bauerdick's erudite eye for character and culture are evident on every page of this

tapestry of politics, religion, and myth.
STYLE: Bauerdick's prose is vivid and timeless--The Madonna on the Moon already has the feel
of a classic.
GLOBAL READERSHIP: the novel is a bestseller in Germany and has already been sold in
more than a dozen countries worldwide.
"Thrilling.... A hopeful and frequently hilarious story of using one's courage, patience, and wits to
stand up against oppression. Weaving folklore, political drama, a coming-of-age story, and a
morality tale together, Bauerdick has created an original." --The Daily Beast
"Smart readers will grab this European Book Prize winner, which details events in a Carpathian
village as communism descends and the young narrator enlists a gypsy friend to help solve a
mystery: a sacred statue is missing, and the priest has been murdered." --Library Journal
"Bauerdick's use of language, ably aided by an excellent translation, will bring to life the
absurdities of love, life, history, religion and politics in a colorful lingual brew." -- Washington

An original, passionate, and in-depth look at Hamlet, in which Simon Critchley and
Jamieson Webster discover a particularly modern drama that is as much about
ourselves as it is a product of Shakespeare's imagination.
The figure of Hamlet haunts our culture like the Ghost haunts him. Arguably, no
literary work, not even the Bible, is more familiar to us than Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Everyone knows at least six words from the play; often people know many more. Yet the
play--Shakespeare's longest--is more than "passing strange" and becomes deeply
unfamiliar when considered closely. Reading Hamlet alongside other writers,
philosophers, and psychoanalysts--Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Freud, Lacan,
Nietzsche, Melville, and Joyce--Simon Critchley and Jamieson Webster consider the
political context and stakes of Shakespeare's play, its relation to religion, the movement
of desire, and the incapacity to love.
SUBJECT: Hamlet is embedded in our psyches, in our culture--analyses, commentaries, and
reenactments only enlarge its impact and influence.
AUTHORS: Critchley's and Webster's different approaches make for an engagement that
encompasses different facets of the play, from the metaphysical to the analytical, the historical
to the feminist.
APPROACH: This book is, quite simply, sui generis.
AUDIENCE: Readers of Marjorie Garber's Shakespeare After All and Stephen Greenblatt's Will
in the World. This book will be of interest to all students and aficionados of Shakespeare.
"Intriguing...Critchley and Jamieson's take always feels fresh, in part because they address a
range of interpretations, many of which they are unafraid to challenge.... Erudite, witty and
probing, Stay, Illusion! offers new insights into a literary touchstone while deepening our
appreciation for its complexity and its enigmatic core." --Shelf Awareness
"This is both an in-depth analysis of the play Hamlet and a study of our lives today. A compelling
page turner, Stay, Illusion! digs deep into a character and play we all know, but perhaps haven't
considered from this point of view." --Largeheated Boy
"[A] thoughtful, elegant work of criticism." --NPR.org, Best Books Coming Out This Week
"A brilliant set of readings of a work that, like an insistent ghost, seems to have more to tell us
with each passing era." --Tom McCarthy, author of Remainder
"Impressive.... Critchley and Webster offer some intriguing and original thoughts on what Hamlet
has to say about shame and love, taking up a new tone that suddenly makes the play feel
intimately connected to both the authors themselves and the state of the world today...it's
refreshing to read such unorthodox and enthusiastic explorations of canonical literature."

A breakout stand-alone thriller from Michael Harvey about a cold case gone
supernova and the price of innocence.
At Northwestern's renowned journalism school, Ian Joyce has been invited to
participate in the innocence seminar, a prestigious class that investigates wrongful
convictions and cold cases. There with only two other classmates--beautiful,
strong-willed Sarah Gold and enigmatically brilliant Jake Havens--he begins to
investigate the long-ago murder of a young boy, ten-year-old Skylar Wingate, last seen
walking home from school, his body discovered three days later in a forest preserve a
mile away. His alleged killer was murdered decades ago in jail. But two chilling clues
delivered to Jake's house, a piece of bloodstained fabric and a blunt handwritten
confession, suggest that the killer is still very much alive, and, in fact, in their midst. As
the evidence mounts, the three classmates find themselves drawn into web of distrust,
deceit, and corruption that will lead into the grittiest corners of Chicago and culminate on
the shores of Lake Michigan.
STAND-ALONE: This is Michael Harvey's first stand-alone thriller and it is undeniably a very
different beast than the Michael Kelly P.I. series. The pace is furious, and it should appeal to a
wide audience.
HOUSE AUTHOR: We are committed to building Michael Harvey--we have a substantial backlist
as well as another novel under contract with Knopf/Vintage.
BIG FANS: Among his biggest champions is one and only Jon Grisham, who as said that
""Michael Harvey should be read by all."
"Ingenious . . . Engrossing . . . Michael Harvey is a writer with a bright future."--Illinois Times
"Harvey takes us into the dark underworld where guilt and innocence aren't just debated in the
courtroom--the losers lose big, and winners manage to simply survive . . . Complex, twisting
plot, loaded with well-staged surprises, great summer read."--Blue Heron Journal
"Wily and surprising . . . The appealing kids at the book's center . . . leave us wanting
more."--Kirkus Reviews
"Ambitious . . . The suspense remains high throughout."--Publishers Weekly

The Natural Order of Things
Kevin P. Keating
From a startling new voice in American fiction comes a dark, powerful debut novel
about a tragic Midwestern city and its inhabitants over the course of one
Halloween weekend.
Set in a decaying Midwestern urban landscape, with its goings-on and entire
atmosphere dominated and charged by one Jesuit prep school and its students, parents,
faculty, and alumni, The Natural Order of Things is a window into the human condition.
From the opening chapter and its story of the doomed quarterback, Frank McSweeney,
aka The Minotaur, for whom prayers prove not enough, to the end, wherein the school's
former headmaster is betrayed by his peers in the worst way possible, we see people
and their oddness and ambitions laid out bare before us.

Never Fuck Up
A Novel
Jens Lapidus
From Sweden's best-selling crime novelist and author of Easy Money comes the
riveting second installment of the Stockholm Noir Trilogy.
With the same raw energy and verve he displayed in Easy Money, Jens Lapidus now
gives us a new, electrifying tale of Stockholm's vicious underworld. Mahmud is fresh out
of jail and heavily in debt to a drug lord. And though his life is spared in a game of
Russian roulette, he's forced to work for a brutal mob boss in order to pay off his debts.
Niklas, a mercenary and weapons expert with an appetite for violence and vigilante
justice, is back in Sweden and plans to keep a low profile. But the discovery of a
murdered man in his mother's building severely threatens those plans. Thomas, the
volatile detective on the case, finding his efforts suspiciously stymied and the evidence
tampered with, goes off the grid in search of the truth. But as the paths of these three
men intertwine and the identity of the murdered man is revealed, crimes and secrets
bigger, deeper, and darker than a mere murder will come to light.
Translated from the Swedish by Astri von Arbin Ahlander.

Mardi Jo Link's poignant and funny chronicle of the year after her divorce, when
she and her three sons hold onto their northern Michigan farm through
determination and sheer hard work.
When Mardi Jo Link and her husband of nineteen years decide to divorce, she finds
herself with a serious cash-flow problem and a century-old farmhouse that is bleeding
money. Nonetheless, she is determined to continue raising her three boys on well-water,
chopping wood, and working in the dirt. Armed with an unflagging sense of humor and
her three resolute accomplices, Mardi confronts blizzards and foxes, learns about Zen
divorce and the best way to butcher a hog, dominates a zucchini-growing contest,
masters the art of bargain cooking (with help from her grandmother's Depression-era
cookbook), wrangles rampaging poultry, and withstands any blow to her pride in order to
preserve the life she wants for her family. With a boundless optimism that would put
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm to shame and a deep appreciation of the natural world,
Mardi tells the story of how, over the course of one long year, she holds onto her sons,
her farm, and her dream of living the simple life of richness and meaning on the land she
loves.
CHARMING AUTHOR: Mardi Jo Link's personality shines in this memoir, and her down-home
charm and sense of humor are as compelling in person as on the page. She has been actively
promoting the hardcover through appearances at libraries and bookstores, and on personal
finance sites and shows like NPR's Marketplace.
BOOKSELLER LOVE: An IndieNext pick and an ABA IndieBound bestseller. The indies have
embraced Bootstrapper, especially in the midwest. It is a natural counterpart to many of our
backlist titles, including Cheryl Strayed's Wild and Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Wood, plus it
complements the current trend of "new domesticity" and modern homesteading books like
Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.
READING GROUP APPEAL: Mardi's determination and her honesty about struggling through
tough times makes for compelling reading and lively discussion in book clubs. There is a
reading group guide available.
Praise for Bootstrapper
"A country song of a memoir, complete with a broken-down truck named Cookie. It's great fun to
listen to once, full blast." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Link's story possesses that rare, elusive, but much sought-after feeling of authenticity.... Glints
with Link's raw, willful energy." --The New York Times Book Review
"A story of determination in the face of overwhelming odds, of beating hopelessness with hard
work and dedication to her family, of living her dream and finding new love along the way....
Inspirational and funny in the I-might-as-well-laugh-or-I-think-I'll-cry sort of way." --Detroit Free
Press
"You'll fall in love with Mardi Jo Link's family in this irreverent and heartwarming memoir."
--Parade

The Sweet Girl
Annabel Lyon
From the award-winning author of The Golden Mean, a captivating new novel that
follows Aristotle's strong-willed daughter as she shapes her own destiny.
Aristotle has never been able to resist a keen mind, and Pythias is certainly her
father's daughter: besting his brightest students, refusing to content herself with a life
circumscribed by the kitchen, the loom, and, eventually, a husband. Into her teenage
years, she is protected by the reputation of her adored father, but with the death of
Alexander the Great, her fortunes suddenly change. Aristotle's family is forced to flee
Athens for a small town where the great philosopher soon dies, and orphaned Pythias
quickly discovers that the world is not a place of logic after all, but one of superstition. As
threats close in on her--a rebellious household, capricious gods and goddesses --she
will need every ounce of wit she possesses, and the courage to seek refuge where she
least expects it.

BESTSELLER IN CANADA: Published in 2012 in Canada, The Sweet Girl landed on the Globe
& Mail list at #9 its first week, and was long-listed for Canada's most important award: the
Scotiabank Giller Prize.
REVIEWS: Canadian and UK reviews were wonderful, with early US reviews equally promising,
including NPR and The Boston Globe (see below).
INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION: Lyon's previous novel about Aristotle, The Golden Mean, was
a major bestseller in Canada, winning the Writers' Trust Prize, shortlisted for the Giller and
Governor-General, published in sixteen countries, and acclaimed around the world.
HEROINE: Pythias transcends her time: plucky, sharp-witted, yet vulnerable, and bound to win
the hearts of readers.
UNIQUE STYLE OF HISTORICAL FICTION: Lyon's storytelling is stark, unadorned, and free of
clichés. She makes the ancient world immediate as no one else can.
"Brilliantly imagined.... How Pythias emerges with cunning and triumph into young womanhood...
in a rough and dangerous world, forms the triumphant second half of this beautifully made and
other-worldly, or I should say ancient-worldly, novel. A world of kings and gods and demons
that, at the same time, seems as familiar as our own." --Alan Cheuse, NPR/All Things
Considered
"Lyon has vividly brought Pythias's fourth-century BC world to life.... An entertaining work, full of
raw gusto.... Pythias is not the 'sweet girl' her father had called her, but resilient and
resourceful--a survivor." --The Boston Globe
Author Residence: Vancouver, Canada

Internationally best-selling author Javier Marías delivers a metaphysical murder
mystery where through one woman's spiraling imagination and infatuations we
learn the truth behind a fatal obsession, or do we?
María Dolz stops at the same café for breakfast each day before work. There she
finds herself drawn to a couple who is also there every morning. Observing their
seemingly perfect life helps her escape the listlessness of her own. But when the man is
brutally murdered and María approaches the widow to offer her condolences, what
began as mere observation turns into an increasingly complicated entanglement. Invited
into the widow's home, she meets--and falls in love with--a man who sheds disturbing
new light on the crime. As María recounts this story, we are given a murder mystery
brilliantly encased in a metaphysical enquiry, a novel that grapples with questions of
love and death, chance and coincidence, and above all, with the slippery essence of the
truth and how it is told.
BREAKOUT BOOK: All signs are pointing to this being Javier Marías's breakout novel in the
English-language market. The praise has been universal, with a glowing front cover review in
The New York Times Book Review.
STATUS: Marías is beloved and has been praised by some of the world's most prominent
writers. His fans include, J. M. Coetzee, Roberto Bolaño, and Salman Rushdie.
BACKLIST: We recently published five backlist titles: A Heart So White, Tomorrow in the Battle
Think on Me, All Souls, Dark Back of Time, and When I Was Mortal.
SALES AND AWARDS: Marías's books have sold more than 6 million copies across forty
languages, in fifty countries. He has received, among other honors, the IMPAC Dublin Literary
Award, the Prix Femina Étranger, the Premio Grinzane Cavour, the Premio de la Crítica, and the
Alberto Moravia Prize. His is contantly included in the short list of authors buzzed about to win
the Noble.
"Marías is a star writer in Europe, where his best-sellers collect prizes the way Kardashians
collect paparazzi. He's been hailed in America, too, yet he's never broken through like Haruki
Murakami or Roberto Bolaño. This should change with The Infatuations, which is the ideal
introduction to his work . . . The Infatuations is mysterious and seductive; it's got deception, it's
got love affairs, it's got murder--the book is the most sheerly addictive thing Marías has ever
written."--Fresh Air, NPR
"Sometimes startling, sometimes hilarious, and always intelligent . . . The masterly Spanish
novelist [has] a penetrating empathy."--New York Times Book Review
Author Residence: Madrid, Spain
Author Hometown: Madrid, Spain

A long-respected guide to the practical side of an acting career--now updated with
new information reflecting recent major changes in the industry.
For more than twenty years, Acting as a Business has earned a reputation as an
indispensable tool for working and aspiring actors. Avoiding the usual advice about
persistence and luck, Brian O'Neil provides clear-cut guidelines that will give actors a
solid knowledge of the business behind their art. It's packed with practical information on
everything from what to say in a cover letter to where to stand when performing in an
agent's office--including how to craft a winning résumé; how to join the unions; tactics for
getting an agent; strategies for finding work in the theater, on television, and in films; and
navigating the different customs and cultures of New York and Los Angeles. O'Neil has
updated Acting as a Business to keep up with the latest show-business trends, making
this new edition a book no actor should be without.
INDUSTRY BIBLE: Since its publication in 1993, Acting as a Business has been a touchstone
for actors looking to break into show business. Entertainment Weekly called it an essential
"showbiz industry bible."
UPDATES: Revised to reflect the recent consolidation of acting unions, major changes in
daytime TV, and creative ways to use the internet and social media.
THE AUTHOR: O'Neil knows the acting world inside and out. A former talent agent and
manager and currently a career coach, he regularly guest-lectures at Juilliard, the Yale School
of Drama, the New School, and others.
SALES: Acting as a Business sold nearly 30,000 copies for Heinemann in three editions and
twenty-five printings, and Vintage's 2009 Fourth Edition backlists steadily.
COMPARISONS: Vintage has a successful stable of acting guides with strong sales. This one
stands out for its focus on the practical, logistical side of becoming a successful actor.
"O'Neil shares his business savvy in this slim, practical-minded actor's guide that covers
everything from approaching agents to assembling resumes." --Entertainment Weekly
"This wonderful book not only helps demystify much of what is scary to the novice, it is also a
wonderful refresher for veterans.... Calming and wise." --Josh Radnor, star of How I Met Your
Mother

Roosevelt's interests stretched from addresses and presidential messages on public
policy and national ideals, including papers on immigration, colonial policies of the US,
internationalism and world peace, and the Panama Canal, to biography (Gouverneur
Morris and Thomas Hart Benton), to travel writing (South America and Central Asia), to
ecological concerns, to writings on bears, deer, and hunting (game trails in Africa and in
several studies of the American West), to international politics (in Asia, Africa, and
Europe), to history (such as his magisterial study of the Naval War of 1812), as well as
his meditation on history-writing as literature.
Roosevelt's legacy as one of the first progressive American politicians, his concerns
about environmentalism, his internationalism, and his unflinching belief in the American
character and destiny uncanningly speak to the issues of our own day.
USEFUL AND HANDY SELECTION: Here is a judicious and convenient selection of Roosevelt's
vast published writing, which does justice to representing his varied career and broad interests.
No similiar volume is currently available. The Library of America editions focus only on letters,
speeches, and two autobiographies in full and do not provide a comprehensive overview of
much of the material that appears in our edition.
CONTEXT: A critical introduction, headnotes, explanatory notes, and bibliography help guide
the reader's appreciation and understanding of the material.
ENDURING INTEREST IN TR: Teddy Roosevelt is one of the most colorful and beloved
American presidents for whom readers have an abiding fascination.

The Homecoming
Carsten Stroud
A captivating blend of crime fiction and gothic horror comes together in Niceville,
a small Southern town where evil lurks.
Two plane crashes set off a spellbinding chain reaction of kidnapping and murder.
Niceville detective Nick Kavanaugh sets out to investigate, but he and his wife Kate, a
family lawyer, have other things on their minds. They have just taken in Rainey Teague,
who was orphaned under brutal circumstances, and there's something about Rainey that
bothers Nick. If this weren't enough the woman in charge of attendance at Rainey's prep
school has disappeared. In fact, people have long been disappearing from seemingly
placid Niceville, including, most disturbingly, Kate's father. Using his files, Kate and Nick
start to unearth Niceville's blood-stained history, but someone--or something--is standing
in their way. Once again, Carsten Stroud's unique storytelling gifts bring us into a world
where protecting your family from the unknown becomes almost impossible but essential
for survival.

The latest offering in Martin Walker's internationally bestselling French mystery
series featuring Bruno, chief of police--lover of wine, the good life, and solving
crime.
It's spring in St. Denis. The village choir is preparing for its Easter concert, the
wildflowers are blooming, and among the lazy whorls of the river a dead woman is found
floating in a boat. This means another case for Bruno, the town's cherished chief of
police. With the discovery of sinister markings and black candles near the body, it
seems to him that the occult might be involved. And as questions mount--about a
troubling real estate proposal in the region, a suspicious, violent death made to look
accidental, and the sudden reappearance of an elderly countess--Bruno and his
colleagues and friends are drawn ever closer to a climactic showdown in the Gouffre de
Colombac: the place locals call the Devil's Cave.
INDIE BESTSELLER: The Devil's Cave appeared on the Politics & Prose bestseller list.
PRAISE: Walker is getting an impressive number of reviews for this outing, including one in the
Minneapolis Star Tribune that says, "Bruno Courreges may be France's ... answer to Sean
Connery's dapper James Bond."
VINTAGE LOOK: We'll be repackaging The Devil's Cave to fit in with our unique look for the
Bruno series.
CONTINUING SERIES: The next Bruno novel, The Resistance Man, is scheduled for February
of 2014.
SETTING: The Devil's Cave returns to the picaresque Dordogne region of France, and you
won't find a better tour guide than Martin Walker. Knopf has links to his "Perfect Weekend in
Perigord" available online, complete with mentions of Bruno series locales.
"The Devil's Cave brings to life a pastoral setting where the gourmet menu is as spicy as the
sex, and where readers can share in the timeless beauty of the French countryside, laced with a
little murder." --BookPage
"A sumptuous French mystery filled with wine, cheese, and a lush Dordogne countryside." --The
Christian Science Monitor
"If you're looking for an affordable way to have an adventure in the French countryside this
summer, try Martin Walker's latest novel, The Devil's Cave....This leisurely whodunit strikes a
captivating balance between suspense and delight." --The Washingtonian
"In Martin Walker's delightful series ... the charm of rural France is regularly disrupted--but not
too much." --The Seattle Times
Author Residence: Washington, D.C.; France
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 international affairs columnist at United Press International.

WE, ROBOTS: Robots are some of the most popular characters in science fiction. From the
humble Roomba to the sinister military drone, from self-driving cars to creepy animatronic dolls,
robotic technology is becoming more prevalent in our lives. The idea of a robot uprising is
horrifying because it is possible, and the success of films and movies like The Terminator series,
Star Wars, WALL*E, Blade Runner, and Battlestar Galactica testify to the enduring appeal of
robots in the popular imagination.
EDITORS: Daniel H. Wilson (bestselling author of Robopocalypse) and veteran sci-fi/fantasy
anthologist John Joseph Adams have assembled a talented group of authors to take on this
popular subject. Wilson, with a Ph.D. in robotics from Carnegie Melon, is a robot expert, and
Adams has edited more than a dozen science fiction/fantasy collections. There couldn't be a
better partnership for a collection of fresh stories about robots.

community. Adams, a former publicist at NightShade Press, publisher of Lightspeed magazine,
cohost of the popular podcast "The Geek's Guide to the Galaxy" (on io9.com) and anthologist of
over 10 collections, knows everyone in the business, and will aggressively promote the book to
reach the millions of sci-fi fans out there.
Praise for Robopocalypse:
"Terrific page-turning fun." --Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
"An ingenious, instantly visual story of war between humans and robots." --The New York Times
"Richly haunting.... Wilson has terrific timing in building a page-turner around the perils of
technology's advance into our lives." --Los Angeles Times
Author Residence: Portland, OR

Blue Plate Special
An Autobiography of My Appetites
Kate Christensen
Novelist Kate Christensen's affecting memoir tells her life story by way of her
most vivid food memories--what she's cooked, how it tasted, and why it mattered.
In the spirit of Ruth Reichl's Comfort Me with Apples and Gabrielle Hamilton's Blood,
Bones, and Butter, author Kate Christensen shares the story of her life, one meal at a
time. For years, she lived--in her own words--like "a hungry, lonely wild animal looking
for happiness and stability." Now that she's found them, food serves a different
purpose--one of pure pleasure--and in Blue Plate Special she explains how this
transformation inspired her reflective exploration into how eating becomes embedded in
memory. A compulsively readable account of a knockabout life, full of sorrows and
pleasures, this memoir is a delicious reading experience in every sense.

HOUSE AUTHOR: Kate is the author of several novels, including The Great Man, which won the
2008 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. She writes for various outlets, including The New York
Times Book Review, and has a column (on cocktails) in the Wall Street Journal. She is currently
co-writing chef Barbara Lynch's memoir.
REVIEWS: Great reviews from The Boston Globe, The Wall Street Journal, and more.
RECIPES: After hearing about some of the best dishes of Kate's life, readers will be salivating
and there are recipes to help re-create them at home.
POPULAR BLOG: As with Julie Powell's Julie & Julia, Blue Plate Special was born from a
high-traffic blog about the author's daily food life.
COVER QUOTE: "[A] gorgeously written, boldly honest memoir.... Full of disarming humor and a
rich appetite." --The Boston Globe
"Winning.... Christensen has deftly tucked food into every scenario, every relationship and every
crossroads. But it isn't her subject. Eating is what she was doing while she was growing up,
falling in love and becoming a writer. She recounts all of this very well, creating a homey and
vivid portrait of a woman who has dedicated herself to sitting in a room--sometimes of her
own--and writing good books, including this one." -- The Wall Street Journal
"Like having Kate Christensen sit down next to you in a bar and hearing her life story. In a bar,
you wouldn't get her recipes, however. They appear in the book and are built for comfort, from
the Bachelorette Puttanesca to the Dark Night of the Soul Soup." --Los Angeles Times
"[A] poignant, delicious first memoir.... A delightful book that leaves you hungering for more."
--People Magazine
"A down-home memoir.... Christensen summons to mind a young, sexy Julia Child" --Elle
"Honest....The book's brief chapters read like complete stories in themselves." --The Christian
Science Monitor
"An extraordinary woman who has overcome difficult obstacles, some of which were admittedly
self-imposed, Christensen has penned an inspiring and refreshing memoir that should whet the
reader's appetite to seek out the rest of her oeuvre.... [She] tells her own story in Blue Plate
Special with brio, humor and a lack of self-pity." --The Miami Herald

Celebrated acting teacher Bill Esper's step-by-step approach to the central
problem in acting: learning to play a character. AN ANCHOR ORIGINAL.
Bill Esper's successful first book, The Actor's Art and Craft, presented the basics
taught in his famous first-year acting class. This sequel--which can also stand
alone--follows a fictional class of students through his second-year course, which
focuses on character acting.
Esper builds on Sanford Meisner's legendary exercises as developed through his
own decades of experience training a host of distinguished actors. Co-author Damon
DiMarco spent a year observing Esper's class, and through his eyes we vividly
experience the progression of the exercises and see how they work in practice. The
technique Esper teaches is flexible enough to apply to any challenge, from soap operas
to Shakespeare, helping actors learn to create characters with truthful and compelling
inner lives.
TRACK RECORD: Esper's first book has sold 19,500 to date and backlists steadily. Esper is in
demand as a speaker around the world and promotes his book wherever he goes.
AUTHOR: Esper is a sought-after teacher who has trained such actors as Kim Basinger, Paul
Sorvino, Kathy Bates, Mary Steenburgen, Calista Flockhart, Jennifer Beals, Larry David, Jeff
Goldblum, William Hurt, John Malkovich, Gretchen Mol, and many others.
MEISNER TECHNIQUE: After 25 years, Sanford Meisner on Acting (Vintage) is still a best seller
on acting. Bill Esper is the acknowledged expert on the Meisner Technique, which has become
the preferred teaching method in acting schools around the world.
WHY THIS BOOK: Esper feels that the Meisner Technique has been diluted by those who copy
it without understanding it; he seeks to explain it and fill in gaps in Meisner's book with all he has
learned in decades of refining the method.
SALES OF ACTING CLASSICS: As Vintage's and Bantam's backlist titles show (Sanford
Meisner on Acting, 163,000; Practical Handbook for the Actor, 250,000; Michael Shurtleff's
Audition, 320,000), classic acting guides sell steadily for years.
Praise for Esper's previous book:
"Utterly inspirational.... The best book on the craft of acting that I have ever read." --Mary
Steenburgen
"A veritable magnum opus on acting from a Master Teacher." --Olympia Dukakis
"Every serious actor who dreams of becoming a first-rate artist must read this book!" --Calista
Flockhart
William Esper trained under Sanford Meisner and worked closely with him for seventeen
years, while serving as Associate Director of the Neighborhood Playhouse's Acting

A shocking, intensely frightening thriller, the exciting debut of a new UK talent.
Kiss Me First is the story of a woman drawn into a glamorous, desperate, deceitful
online community.
A sheltered young woman raised by her mother, Leila often struggled to connect with
the girls at school, but on Red Pill, a chat forum of ethical debate, she comes into her
own and feels she has finally found people who understand her. She is thrilled when the
site's brilliant, charismatic founder, Adrian, contacts her to arrange a meeting--and
flattered when he invites her to be part of Project Tess. Tess is a woman Leila might
never have met in her day-to-day life. She is beautiful, urbane, witty, and hiding a dark
side. As they e-mail, chat, and Skype, Leila becomes enveloped in Tess's world,
learning every single thing she can about this other woman--her mother's birthday, her
favorite songs, her best friends, her first kiss. Leila must memorize Tess's every detail,
because soon, Leila will have to become her. Terrifying and ingeniously plotted, Kiss Me
First is a brilliantly frightening story about the lies we tell--to ourselves and to others, for
good and for ill.
MAJOR BUZZ: With blurbs from the likes of Tana French and Scott Smith, and strong early
reviews including a starred Publishers Weekly review and raves from The Daily Beast,
Entertainment Weekly, and People, Kiss Me First will appeal to all the readers who are craving
more intense, psychological fiction after Gone Girl.
AUTHOR: Lottie Moggach's addictive writing is tightly plotted and nailbitingly suspenseful yet
with protagonists--and antagonists--who feel utterly real. Her mother is novelist Deborah
Moggach.
SUMMER READ TIMING: A perfect beach read, the April release for the paperback is ideally
timed to hit summer reading season.
"The first great internet novel. . . . More than just a book about an early 21st-century lifestyle. . . .
Lottie Moggach's mordantly well-observed debut, Kiss Me First . . . could be the first great novel
about the way the internet has become a part of our lives, what it means, and how it has
fundamentally altered the way we get along with each other. . . . A gripping psychological novel."
--The Daily Beast
"Smart, absorbing. . . . Kiss Me First will attract readers with its up-to-the-minute Internet plot,
but will keep them through its character-driven focus, psychological depth and fresh narrator.
Moggach burrows into these characters' heads so thoroughly that if anyone could pull off an
online impersonation, she could." --The Dallas Morning News
"It's the story's everyday believability that makes Kiss Me First so chilling. . . . Moggach sucks us
into the rabbit hole of [Leila's] dangerous obsession with deftly timed twists and memorable
characters." --Entertainment Weekly, Grade A"As Moggach's debut chillingly demonstrates, the virtual world is scant protection from messy,
utterly human emotions." --People
"[An] eerie psychological thriller." --Los Angeles Times
Author Residence: London, England
A London native from a family of acclaimed writers, Lottie Moggach attended Sussex
University before she began a career in journalism at The Times. There, she worked as
a feature writer, book reviewer, and columnist for several years. She currently publishes

Scatter, Adapt, and Remember
How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction
Annalee Newitz
Climate change. Pandemics. Catastrophic volcanoes. Should we just give up and
accept our doom? Absolutely not. This brilliantly speculative and hopeful work of
popular science focuses our attention on humanity's long history of dodging the
bullet of extinction--and suggests practical ways to keep doing it.
Newitz invites readers into an action-packed story that starts with the survivors of
mass extinctions that wracked the planet for billions of years before humans evolved,
then moves to humans' own experiences with near-extinction, and ultimately explores
the future of our species as we soldier on for the next billion years. From bacteria labs in
St. Louis to ancient underground cities in central Turkey, we discover the keys to
long-term survival. Readers of Scatter, Adapt, and Remember will be
equipped--scientifically, intellectually, and even emotionally--to face what promise to be
challenges far greater than contemporary humans have yet to meet.

BESTSELLING COMPARISONS: This is the perfect follow-up book for readers who flocked to
bestsellers like Alan Weisman's The World Without Us and Michio Kaku's Physics of the Future.
RECOMMENDED READING: This was named a Scientific American Recommended Book.
TALENTED AUTHOR WITH MAJOR PLATFORM: Newitz is editor of the heavily trafficked
science website io9.com. Part of the powerful Gawker media group, it reaches 3 million unique
visitors a month.
A SURPRISINGLY HOPEFUL AND REALISTIC TAKE: Scatter, Adapt, and Remember
addresses the realities of global warming and various manmade threats, but also makes a
powerful argument about human ingenuity and ability to survive. This is a rare viewpoint when
so many scientists and media commentators obsessively deliver the opposite message.
"[Newitz is] an excellent writer, with an effortless style.... It's all fascinating and presented in an
accessible, warm style.... Newitz has done all the mental heavy lifting, all the hard work and
research, and presented it so you get to enjoy it in a few days or weeks of fun reading. You will
be smarter for it." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Terrific.... It's a refreshingly grand sweep for a popular science book.... This is a delight of a
book, balanced on the knife-edge of disaster and delirious hope. It neither predicts our species'
apotheosis nor its doom, but suggests paths to reach the former while avoiding the latter."
--Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing
Author Residence: San Francisco, CA
Annalee Newitz is the founding editor of the science website io9.com and a journalist

A father's poignant diary of his journey to the hallowed golf courses of St.
Andrews, Scotland, to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional caddie for his
son, Jack, when he graduates college and attempts to qualify for the PGA Tour.
Don Snyder and his five-year-old son, Jack, had promised each other that someday
Jack would play on the pro golf tour . . . and Don would walk beside him as his caddie.
Years later, at fifty-seven, Don left the comfort of his Maine home to learn how to caddie
from the people who invented the game. In Scotland he studied the famed courses,
fought his way onto the rotation as a full-time caddie, and recorded the fascinating
stories of golfers from every station in life--living monk-like each day. Jack endured his
own arduous journey, perfecting his college game until the triumphant day he and Don
drove south to compete in one of the PGA's toughest qualifying tours. Walking with Jack
is a poignant, raw, and triumphant memoir.
ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Snyder's memoirs The Cliff Walk and Of Time and Memory received
major national media attention and coverage (from The Boston Globe to Oprah).
A RIVETING FATHER-SON MEMOIR: Get ready to call your dad . . . on every page is another
reminder of the euphoric highs and gut-wrenching challenges of fatherhood.
RARE INSIDE ACCESS TO ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND: Don was accepted to caddy in golf's
Holy Land, taking us behind the scenes at St. Andrews and Carnoustie--both hosts of the British
Open. He played with an incredible range of interesting people, and he'll make you smile, cry,
empathize, and cheer at their stories.
"It's a grand claim to make, but let's risk it: The literature of golf is unrivaled in American sports.
The fine-grained prose in the golf essays of John Updike, the polished golf reporting of Herbert
Warren Wind at the New Yorker in the 1950s and '60s and the current lucid work by Michael
Bamberger in Sports Illustrated are unmatched.... The excellence continues. If [Walking With
Jack]... were evaluated solely on the basis of effort expended--never mind the fascination of the
stories told--[it] would still be impressive." --Colman McCarthy, The Washington Post
"[Snyder] recounts some memorable tales." --GolfWeek
"Veteran golf writer Don Snyder and his son Jack make this intimate coming-of-age journey for
both father and son one to cherish. Go walking with Jack and his old man and you'll find your
own life, and love of the game, immeasurably enriched." --James Dodson, author of Final
Rounds
Author Residence: Scarborough, Maine
Don J. Snyder is the acclaimed author of many books, including the memoirs The Cliff

On the Come Up
A Novel, Based on a True Story
Hannah Weyer
A headstrong girl from Far Rockaway, Queens, tries to find her place in the world
in this impassioned, propulsive debut novel based on a true story.
Thirteen-year-old AnnMarie Walker dreams of a world beyond Far Rockaway, where
the sway of the neighborhood keeps her tied to old ideas about success. While attending
a school for pregnant teens, AnnMarie comes across a flyer advertising movie auditions
in Manhattan. Astonishingly, improbably, and four months before she's due to give birth,
she lands a lead role. For a time, AnnMarie soars--acting for the camera, flying to the
Sundance Film Festival, seeing her face on-screen. But when the film fades from view
and the realities of her life set back in, AnnMarie's grit and determination are the only
tools left to keep her moving forward. Based on the real-life story of Anna Simpson,
whom the author met filming the award-winning Our Song, Hannah Weyer's debut novel
powerfully illuminates the lives of the urban unseen, in an electrifying and intimate voice.

YA CROSSOVER: AnnMarie's singular voice is written in a slang-heavy vernacular that will

CAMPUS APPEAL: AnnMarie's story and background make the novel a strong candidate for

programs, thanks to the story of how Hannah Weyer transformed Anna Simpson's life
experiences into a work of fiction.
FILM CONNECTION: The real-life counterpart of the fictional film is the independent feature Our
Song, written and directed by Hannah Weyer's husband Jim McKay. Our Song was the feature
film debut of Kerry Washington (Scandal). Washington promoted the hardcover release to her

AUTHOR: Hannah Weyer brings to the page her fifteen years of experience working with teens
in underserved neighborhoods on media arts projects, as well as her friendship with Anna
Simpson, crafting a wonderfully genuine, emotional novel that's never saccharine.

father and leverage her experiences into a better life."--San Francisco Chronicle
"A vibrant debut novel. . . . Weyer's compassionate storytelling . . . lends her compelling novel
an inspiring pathos without losing its sharp, realistic edge." --Publishers Weekly
"I couldn't put this book down. This world, this voice, this young woman are all so vividly raw and
honest, that my heart was broken open, and I was hooked until the very last page." --Kerry
Washington, actress, Scandal and Django Unchained

The Light in the Ruins
Chris Bohjalian
The New York Times bestselling author of Midwives follows up The Sandcastle
Girls with a spellbinding novel of love, despair, and revenge in war-ravaged
Tuscany.
Tucked away in the idyllic hills south of Florence, the Rosatis, an Italian family of
noble lineage, believe that the walls of their ancient villa will keep them safe from the war
raging across Europe. But when two soldiers, a German and an Italian, arrive at the villa
asking to see an ancient Etruscan burial site, the Rosatis' bucolic tranquility is shattered.
And when, ten years later, a killer begins to target the remaining family members for
elusive reasons, it's up to investigator Serafina Bettini to figure out what really happened
that fateful summer. Set against an exquisitely rendered Italian countryside, The Light in
the Ruins unveils a breathtaking story of moral paradox, human frailty, and the
mysterious ways of the heart.

The beloved author of The House on Mango Street gives us a deeply moving tale
of loss, grief, and healing: a lyrically told, richly illustrated fable for grown-ups
about a woman's search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her mother's
death.
The word "orphan" might not seem to apply to a fifty-three-year-old woman. Yet this
is exactly how Sandra feels as she finds herself motherless, alone like "a glove left
behind at the bus station." What just might save her is her search for someone else
gone missing: Marie, the black-and-white cat of Sandra's visiting friend, Roz. As Sandra
and Roz scour the streets of San Antonio, posting flyers and asking everywhere, "Have
you seen Marie?" the pursuit of this one small creature takes on unexpected urgency
and meaning. With full-color illustrations that bring this transformative quest to vivid life,
Have You Seen Marie? showcases a beloved author's storytelling magic, in a tale that
reminds us how love, even when it goes astray, does not stay lost forever.
AUTHOR: Cisneros is one of Vintage's best-selling authors. Millions have cherished The House
on Mango Street, an enormous, devoted fan base who will welcome the book.
NEW BOOK: Cisneros has a new collection of essays due out in October 2013 that will surely
provide a good lead in to this paperback publication.
PERFECT GIFT: The beautiful, full-color artwork by Ester Hernández makes this fable-like story
a perfect gift.
WIDE AUDIENCE APPEAL: For both grown-ups and children, a story destined for classic
status, and a healing balm in times of heartbreak and grief.
SPANISH EDITION: Simultaneous publication by Vintage Español.
EVENTS: Cisneros is an extremely popular speaker and people flock to all of her events.
Praise for Have You Seen Marie?:
"A real-life bedtime story for grown-ups." --The Seattle Times
"Cisneros captures the experience of grief with moving and visceral clarity.... Have You Seen
Marie? is the size of a lunchbox sandwich, but it offers lasting nourishment.... Like the best
bedtime stories, it both honors the darkness around us and keeps the same darkness at bay....
An orphan adventure tale for grown-ups with the soothing cadence of a children's picture book."

From the bestselling author of Stuffed comes a richly illustrated memoir filled with
style, risk, and beauty: Volk juxtaposes her two childhood idols--her own mother
and the iconoclastic designer Elsa Schiaparelli--and, in so doing, explores how a
girl fashions herself into a woman.
Patricia Volk's mother, Audrey Morgen, was an upper-middle-class New Yorker, a
great beauty, a lover of fashion, and a polished hostess at her family's restaurant in the
garment district. Elsa Schiaparelli--"Schiap"--was a high-fashion designer whose
creations broke every rule, shocked the world, and blurred the line between fashion and
art. Patricia read Schiap's autobiography, Shocking Life, at a tender age, and was
transformed by it. These two women taught Patricia lessons about womanhood and
personal style that have stayed with her throughout her life. Moving seamlessly from the
Volks' Manhattan and Florida homes to Schiap's astonishing life in Paris and Rome
(among friends such as Dalí, Duchamp, and Picasso), Patricia weaves Audrey's notions
of domesticity with Schiaparelli's often outrageous creations, giving us a dazzling
meditation on being a daughter, sister, and mother. Shocked is funny, glamorous, and
wise.
BROAD AUDIENCE: Shocked has been embraced by reviewers of all stripes, from NPR to the
Wall Street Journal to women's magazines, including O, the Oprah Magazine, W, and More.
UNIVERSAL THEMES: Volk offers wise lessons on timeless topics--mothers and daughters,
girls and women, substance and style.
FASHION ICON: Though not a biography, this is the first book to introduce Schiaparelli's
extraordinary life and legacy to a wider audience.
FORMAT: With illustrations ranging from personal photographs and memorabilia to Modernist
masterpieces and Schiaparelli's designs, this is a readable, irresistibly gifty memoir.
AUTHOR: A connected author, beloved by critics.
"A time machine laden with long-lost physical objects (dance cards, darning eggs), a meditation
on the plastic possibilities of womankind and a very special treat." --The New York Times Book
Review
"A brilliant, boisterous memoir that breaks new ground in terms of the memoir form and also the
archetypal story of the mother-daughter bond.... I cannot tell you, apart from its other virtues,
how much fun this memoir is to read.... Shocked is a physically beautiful book, but like
Schiaparelli's designs, it commands deeper attention because of the wit and originality that
inspire its composition." --Maureen Corrigan, NPR Books

The Color Master
Aimee Bender
The bestselling author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake returns with a
wondrous collection of dreamy, strange, and magical stories.
In these fifteen deeply resonant stories--evocative, funny, beautiful, and
sad--Bender's unique talents sparkle as she holds a funhouse mirror up to reality. A
traumatic event unfolds when a girl with hair the color of golden wheat appears in an
apple orchard; a woman plays out a prostitution fantasy with her husband and finds she
cannot go back to her old sex life; an ugly woman marries an ogre and struggles to
decide if she should stay with him after he mistakenly eats their children; and two sisters
travel deep into Malaysia, where one learns the art of mending tigers who have been
ripped to shreds. Each proves Aimee Bender to be among the most imaginative,
exciting, and intelligent young writers.

THE PARTICULAR SADNESS OF LEMON CAKE: Aimee's last novel was a New York Times
bestseller, and took her to a new level of readership, especially in paperback. Our Anchor
edition of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake is in its tenth printing, with over 125,000
copies in print.
AUDIENCE: Aimee is extremely well respected in the world of short fiction, and her core fans

collections by authors like Karen Russell.
PRAISE: Reviews have been raves, across the board. The Los Angeles Times is the most
exclamatory, saying "At a time when realism reigns supreme over the literary landscape, one
can argue it is absolutely imperative that Aimee Bender be spotlighted for what she is: a vital
MVP of modern letters, period."
"Each work is a jewel.... The Color Master is a treat, full of tales that are satisfyingly complete
while over too soon, leaving the reader wanting more." --The Denver Post
"Vivid, fantastical..... Bender ... finds something that touches true magic." --Entertainment
Weekly
"All these stories made my mouth water." --Alan Cheuse, NPR

After two acclaimed historical novels, one of Canada's most celebrated new
writers goes contemporary with this vibrant story of a countryless man on the
cusp of divorce, who must now reconcile with his past.
Charlie Bellerose, a Canadian ex-pat, has built an enviable life in Madrid: a beautiful
wife, a precocious twelve-year-old daughter, a burgeoning empire of language
academies. But when his marriage threatens to fall apart, he finds himself uprooted, and
returns to Toronto. There he finds something unexpected: his wayward, frivolous older
brother--himself in the thick of a vicious divorce--wants to make amends with him.
Charlie finds a fresh start in Toronto, forging new bonds with his brother and nephews,
but aches to reunite with his daughter. After a chance encounter with a college girlfriend,
he works through a series of memories--including a particularly painful one they
share--as he reflects on how he ended up where he is. But two tragic events--one past,
one present--converge, forcing Charlie to reevaluate his relationships with everyone
around him. Masterfully rendered and deeply felt, Going Home Again is a beautiful
exploration of the unexpected contours of life.
SHORT-LISTED FOR THE GILLER PRIZE. "With a poet's precision, Dennis Bock limns the
inner landscape of a man in crisis, using elegant language to chart the lonely, least-articulated
corners of the human heart.... From the very first page, one feels the sure hand of a master at
work; this is a novel of secrets and lies, of betrayal and murder, a searing emotional portrait that
deepens and intensifies to the point of breaking. But Bock's patient confidence as a storyteller,
and his light touch, ensure that the novel resists melodrama, even as it refuses to look away.
Going Home Again is a graceful lament, an eloquent novel about what can be lost, and what
regained: a true testament to the enduring passions of being alive." --Jury Citation for the 2013
Scotiabank Giller Prize shortlist
ACCLAIMED, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Bock's debut, The Ash Garden, won the
Canada-Japan Literary Award and attracted major review attention: critics called the book
"elegant" (The New York Times), "exquisite" (The Washington Post Book World) and
"compelling" (The Christian Science Monitor).
SUBJECT: The central topic of this novel--the nature of memory--is a key subject among some
of the most fascinating and successful novels in recent years, from Barnes's The Sense of an
Ending to Knausgaard's My Struggle to Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad.
"Going Home Again by Toronto writer Dennis Bock is a page-turner, a book so hard to put down
I read it in two evenings.... The story is sad yet hopeful, brisk yet thoughtful, reflecting Bock's
generous talents as a storywriter." --Jennifer Hunter, The Toronto Star
"[A] beautiful and multi-layered novel.... The natural, understated elegance of Toronto-based
author Dennis Bock's prose quickly becomes quite addictive. His narrator's conversational style
contributes to a delicious feeling of intimacy, as though we're listening to a good friend."
--Winnipeg Free Press
Author Residence: Toronto
Dennis Bock was awarded the Canada-Japan Literary Award in 2002 for The Ash
Garden. He lives in Toronto with his two sons.

Paris Was the Place
Susan C. Conley
Susan Conley (The Foremost Good Fortune) returns with a alternately charming
and poignant novel about a young expat who finds her life upended when she
becomes involved in the lives of girls hoping to find new futures in France.
Willie Pears has fled to Paris to create a new family for herself. She reconnects with
her brother, Luke, and falls into a promising young romance with a French lawyer. But
when she begins teaching at a center for immigrant girls who are all hoping for French
asylum, she has no idea how connected she will feel to the ups and downs of ther lives.
And as she learns their stories, the lines between teaching and mothering quickly begin
to blur. Conley has given us a beautiful portrait of how much it matters to belong--to a
family, to a country, to any one place--and how this belonging can mean the difference in
our survival.

point in life when love and loss combine and ... you feel acutely what it means to be fully human
and alive." --Sarah Blake
"A suspenseful story, full of moral choices and deep feeling." --Margot Livesey
"A gorgeous love story and a wise, intimate journal of dislocation.... I couldn't put it down."

Eleven provocative stories about sex and death, violence and desire, love and
madness, from the acclaimed author of Daughters of the Revolution and The
Bostons.
Set against a vast American landscape that ranges from the largest private residence
in Manhattan to the lush rain forests and marijuana farms of Northern California, each
story dives into our darkest spaces, confronting the absurdity, poetry and brutality of
human existence. In "Francis Bacon," an aspiring writer learns essential lessons from an
aging pornographer, while "The Boundary" follows a muralist who falls in love with a
troubled boy from the rez. In the surreal "She Bites," a man builds an architecturally
distinguished doghouse as his wife slowly transforms. And in the transcendent,
three-part title story, two best friends face their strange fates, linked by a determination
to wrest meaning and coherence from lives spiraling out of control.
ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Carolyn Cooke's debut novel, Daughters of the Revolution, was
short-listed for the Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize, and was named among the top ten books
of 2011 by the San Francisco Chronicle and was singled out as a New York magazine's
"Reviewer's Favorite."
EARLY PRAISE: Pre-pub reviews have been phenomenal, with starred raves from both Kirkus
and Publishers Weekly. Kirkus calls these stories: "Erotic, whimsical, profound.... Cooke writes
with passion, empathy, and considerable humor."
"Cooke's stories twist and turn, playing games with language.... They leave you with something:
shards of phrases; a lifetime of attitudes conveyed in a word or an aside; or odd, perfect details
that stick in your mind." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An edgy collection of powerful, engaging, offbeat stories.... The product of a mature and
considerable talent." --Booklist
Author Residence: San Francisco, CA
Carolyn Cooke is the author of Daughters of the Revolution and the story collection The
Bostons, which won the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize, was a finalist for the
PEN/Hemingway Award, and whose stories appeared in AGNI, The Paris Review, The

In Arne Dahl's riveting follow-up to Misterioso, the Intercrime team is assigned the
task of tracking down an American serial killer on the loose in Sweden--quietly,
and as quickly as possible.
When a Swedish literary critic is found tortured to death in a janitor's closet at Newark
International Airport, the police realize that the murderer made off with the victim's ticket
and boarded a flight to Stockholm, where he slipped through customs. With no clear
motive in sight, Detectives Paul Hjelm and Kerstin Holm of Intercrime's A-Unit take over
the investigation. They learn that the method of torture used was not only a highly
specialized means of extracting information--secretly developed during the Vietnam
War--but also that it was the modus operandi of an allegedly deceased homicidal maniac
known only as the Kentucky Killer. As additional victims are discovered on the outskirts
of Stockholm, the team finds itself coming up empty-handed. Hjelm and Holm fly to New
York, hoping to discover both the killer's identity and the source of his interest in
Sweden. What they quickly learn, searching through the past, is that bad blood always
comes back around.
SERIES: Arne Dahl's Intercrime series has sold 2.5 million copies worldwide and has won some
of the most distinguished crime fiction awards in Sweden, Denmark, and Germany.
SCREEN ADAPTATION: The Intercrime series has been adapted for the screen by a Swedish
company. The Swedish films aired this summer on BBC4 in the UK under the title Arne Dahl.
COMP TITLES: Arne Dahl is frequently compared to Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo. The
relationships between Detectives Paul Hjelm and Kerstin Holm and the rest of their team will
also appeal to fans of Jussi Adler-Olsen's The Keeper of Lost Causes and Val McDermid's Tony
Hill and Carol Jordan series (The Wire in the Blood).
Advance Praise for Arne Dahl and Bad Blood
"The reader will find the characters even more distinctive and well defined than in the first
book.... The plot heats up in New York, races back to Stockholm and environs, and skids to a
fair conclusion." --Publishers Weekly
"A wild and grisly journey to a conclusion which is as astounding as it is unsettling.... Add Arne
Dahl to your list of must-haves in crime fiction." --Open Letters Monthly
"There is, certainly, more at play in Dahl's crime fiction: he grab[s] the socio-political possibilities
of the genre from the start." --Metro (UK)
Arne Dahl is an award-winning crime novelist and literary critic. He lives in Sweden.

From the acclaimed author of the Kurt Wallander series comes a powerful
historical novel, the deeply moving story of a woman who manages to wrench
wisdom, empathy, and grace from the most unforgiving circumstances in early
20th century Mozambique.
In 1904, nineteen-year-old Hanna Renstrom boards a ship bound for Australia in
hopes of escaping the cold and poverty that have dominated her life in Sweden. But
none of her hopes--or fears--prepares her for the life she will lead. After two brief
marriages both leave her widowed, she finds herself the owner of a bordello in
Portuguese East Africa, a world where colonialism and white colonists rule, where she is
isolated within white society by her profession and her gender, and, among the
bordello's black prostitutes, by her color. As Hanna makes her way through her new life
in this "treacherous paradise," she wrestles with a devastating loneliness and with the
racism she's meant to unthinkingly adopt. And as her life becomes increasingly
intertwined with the prostitutes', she moves inexorably toward the moment when she will
make a decision that defies all the expectations society has of her and, more important,
those she has of herself.
SALES: An ABA IndieBound bestseller, A Treacherous Paradise has net sales of more than
26,000 copies.
AUTHOR: Henning Mankell is the internationally acclaimed author of several historical novels
set in the Swedish colonial era, including Eye of the Leopard and Daniel, as well as the
award-winning, bestselling Kurt Wallander mystery series.
READING GROUP APPEAL: The historical setting, strong female characters and Hanna's
struggle to support herself in her widowhood make A Treacherous Paradise a prime candidate
for book club discussions.
Praise for A Treacherous Paradise
"[A] sensuous, beguiling tapestry.... Reminiscent of Latin American magic realism, transplanted
to Africa." --The New York Times Book Review
"Impressively deft... By the time it ends, readers might be surprised how far they have traveled
... both literally and psychologically. It's a testament to how powerfully moving and nuanced
Mankell's books can be, when he turns his attention away from corpses and world-weary
detectives." --Richmond Times-Dispatch
"[An] engrossing tale of a woman cast adrift in an alien world.... How she confronts the
loneliness and racism of her unique place spins out in Mankell's masterful prose. As always with
Mankell, the characters are brilliantly conceived." --The Globe and Mail (Canada)
Author Residence: Sweden; Mozambique
Author Hometown: Sweden

European prize for crime fiction) and has received the Glass Key and Golden Dagger
Awards. He is also the winner of the German Tolerance Prize and a three-time finalist for
the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. His Kurt Wallander mysteries have been adapted
into a PBS television series starring Sir Kenneth Branagh. Mankell divides his time

The Happy Atheist
PZ Myers
From the author of one of the Web's most popular science blogs, Pharyngula, this
book takes on religious fanaticism with all the gleeful disrespect it deserves. A
small, fearless book that takes aim at big, stupid targets--and nails them.
For the last several years, PZ Myers, writing the blog Pharyngula, has entertained
millions of readers every month with his infectious love of evolutionary science and his
equally infectious disdain for creationism, biblical literalism, "intelligent design" theory,
and other products of godly illogic. While PZ does not accept the common atheist
argument that religion necessarily makes people do evil, violent things, he does think
that, most of the time, it makes them believe in the truly ridiculous--which is exactly what
he skewers in this riotously funny book. In fact, The Happy Atheist is so outrageous, it's
the only book about religion anyone should take seriously.

PLATFORM: PZ Myers's blog, Pharyngula, has a tremendous following--three million visits
every month, one million of them unique--and is routinely recognized as one of the best science
blogs on the Web. This is a great platform for spreading the word about The Happy Atheist.
AUTHOR: Myers is a biology professor. When creationists start spinning their wheels over
fanciful objections to established science, PZ is exactly the right person to set the record
straight.
AUDIENCE: This book will find an ardent audience among the atheist community that reads the
bestselling books of Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris.
FORMAT: Other recent atheist books by the likes of Richard Dawkins and Daniel Dennett weigh
in at nearly 500 pages and are often as inaccessible as the pro-religion books they oppose. PZ
has written a fun book that is a riot to read.
"Punchy.... Written in accessible, informal style, [Myers] lashes out at the Catholic Church for its
sexual-abuse scandals, at the faulty science employed by anti-abortion activists, and at
proponents of intelligent design.... Myers is able to deftly present serious scientific and
philosophical counterarguments to belief in God, but he also acknowledges the necessity of
humor--of fighting fire with fire: after all, 'religions sure to promote some goofy stuff.' Effectively
kicking the legs out from beneath the wobbly logic that undergirds religious thought."
--Publishers Weekly
"Brilliantly designed and executed to entertain and enlighten.... This is a very entertaining and
thought-provoking book." -- Booklist
"Nothing--not Communion, not the Holy Spirit, not even death--is too sacred to dissect. And
that's what he does, dismantling religious clichés with ease, making you reconsider all those
ideas you grew up with (and may still hold). If you're still religious after reading this book, you
didn't read it carefully enough." --Hemant Mehta, author of The Young Atheist's Survival Guide
and blogger at FriendlyAtheist.com
Author Residence: Morris, MN
PZ Myers is a professor of biology at the University of Minnesota in Morris. He was
named Humanist of the Year in 2009 by the American Humanist Association, and was
granted the International Humanist Award in 2011 by the International Ethical Humanist
Union. He has traveled internationally to lecture on biology and evolution, atheism, and
skepticism. His blog, Pharyngula, has won many awards, including "Best Science Blog,"
"Best Expert Blog," and the esteemed science journal Nature has given it its highest
rating.

"The Redeemer rocks! Jo Nesbø is my new favorite thriller writer and Harry Hole my new hero.
This book had my pulse in the red zone from start to finish." --Michael Connelly
"Rarely does a mystery novel succeed on so many levels, as the intricate plotting explores
psychological and theological dimensons that go deeper than standard notions of good and
evil.... Those with an affinity for the darkest and most literary crime fiction will want to get here
as soon as they can." --Kirkus, starred review
"A hefty but swift novel, full of shocking chance and nuance, unforseen twists and ice-crystal
clear views of Oslo in winter."--Wall Street Journal
"Nesbø is no ordinary writer.... A complex story, impossible to second-guess, which proves that
greed, lust and a desire for revenge lurk within the saintliest of folk." --The Sunday Telegraph
Author Residence: Oslo, Norway
Jo Nesbø's books have sold more than twenty million copies worldwide, and have been
translated into forty-seven languages. His previous Harry Hole novels include The Bat,
The Redbreast, Nemesis, The Devil's Star, The Snowman, The Leopard, and Phantom,
and he is the author of Headhunters and several children's books. He has received the
Glass Key Award for best Nordic crime novel. He is also a musician, songwriter, and
economist and lives in Oslo.

From one of the UK's most gifted writers: a sweeping family drama where a
father's disappearance forces three adult siblings to come together and confront
what they really know about their past.
London, 1976. In the thick of a record-breaking heatwave, Gretta Riordan's
newly-retired husband has cleaned out his bank account and vanished. Now, for the first
time in years, the three Riordan children are converging on their childhood home:
Michael Francis, a history teacher whose marriage is failing; Monica, with two
stepdaughters who despise her and an ugly secret that has driven a wedge between her
and the little sister she once adored; and Aoife (pronounced EE-fah), the youngest,
whose new life in Manhattan is elaborately arranged to conceal her illiteracy. As the
siblings track down clues to their father's disappearance, they also navigate rocky pasts
and long-held secrets. Their search ultimately brings them to their ancestral village in
Ireland, where the truth of their family's past is revealed. Wise, lyrical, instantly
engrossing, Instructions for a Heatwave is a richly satisfying page-turner from a writer of
exceptional intelligence and grace.
REVIEWS: After a strong set of pre-pub reviews, critics from NPR, Entertainment Weekly, and
the Minneapolis Star Tribune have added their praise.
COMPS: O'Farrell's enormous gifts for character dynamics put her in the company of the very
best in women's fiction. Courtney Sullivan has enthusiastically blurbed Heatwave, along with
Maria Semple and Anita Shreve. Women's magazines are paying attention--Vogue and Real
Simple have added Heatwave to their summer reading lists.
AUTHOR: The Hand That First Held Mine won the Costa Book Award for best novel of the year;
The Distance Between Us won the Somerset Maugham Award. The Vanishing of Esme Lennox
netted over 40,000 copies at HMH, and received strong reviews from critics, including Ron
Charles at The Washington Post, who raved: "Radiates the kind of energy that marks a classic."
Instructions for a Heatwave is poised to be O'Farrell's breakout book.
READING GROUPS: O'Farrell's masterful depiction of family relationships makes this novel a
natural pick for book clubs.
PACKAGE: Evocative, summery cover art is planned.
"A beautiful book.... I nearly missed my subway stop while immersed in Instructions for a
Heatwave." --Heller McAlpin, NPR Books
"Warmhearted.... Smart and provocative." --The New York Times Book Review
"Perhaps a perfect book.... Instructions for a Heatwave is never dull, never unconvincing,
proceeding at a stately and crisp speed through a fully rendered world, grappling at all times and
in an original way with the fascinating problems of our time, rushing head-long--and yet
staggering almost drunkenly when necessary--towards a stirring and wondrous conclusion."
--The Los Angeles Review of Books

A richly nuanced portrait of a marriage reinvented in a small Northeast
town--Steve Yarbrough's most surprising and captivating novel yet.
When Kristin Stevens loses her job in academia, she and her husband, Cal, are
forced to relocate from California to Massachusetts. Kristin takes a position at a smaller,
less prestigious college outside Boston and promptly becomes entangled in its delicate,
overheated politics. Cal, meanwhile, spends his days alone, fixing up their new home.
Next door, their younger neighbor Matt Drinnan watches his ex-wife take up with another
man, with only himself to blame. Both couples seem to exist in separate spheres
entirely, and Matt and Kristin, both struggling with an acute sense of isolation, gravitate
toward each other--first as platonic confidants and then, inevitably, as something more.
The Realm of Last Chances is a subtle, moving exploration of relationships, loneliness,
and our convoluted attempts to reach out to one another.
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Yarbrough was a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award and has
received the Mississippi Authors Award, the California Book Award, and an award from the
Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.
READING GROUP/BOOK CLUB TITLE: A perfect book to discuss--the reinvention of a
marriage.
NEW DIRECTION: For the first time Yarbrough leaves the Deep South, the setting of all his
previous fiction, and heads to the Northeast. His fans will be thrilled to see him writing about a
less parochial locale.
RESPECTED WRITER: Yarbrough's fans include James Lee Burke, Ha Jin, David Guterson,
Beverly Lowry, Barry Hannah, Kent Haruf, and Tom Franklin.
COVER QUOTE: "What all novels strive to be--boldly provocative, reflective, witty, and wise,
and deeply insightful.... A page-turner that also turns pages within the reader." --Jeffrey Lent,
author of In the Fall
"What an exhilarating, intelligent, beautifully complicated novel. I love how richly peopled it is
and I love the exact New England landscapes.... But I think what made me read this book in a
single sitting was the voice and the way in which it allowed me both to know and to not know
Kristin, Matt and Cal. That combination makes The Realm of Last Chances wonderfully
suspenseful. Every character has a secret sorrow." --Margot Livesey
"Here's a riddle. What happens when you turn loose a world-class southern writer in an old New
England town and tell him to have at it? Answer: Steve Yarbrough's magnificent new novel is
what happens.... [The most] affirmative novel about love under great stress that I've read in
years." --Howard Frank Mosher
"Yarbrough has written a deeply intelligent and wildly moving story about the many permutations
of love, betrayal and redemption." --Kirkus (starred review)

The bestselling, thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and
consequential periods in twentieth-century history--the Arab Revolt, and the
secret game to control the Middle East.
The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War I was, in the words of T. E.
Lawrence, "a sideshow of a sideshow." As a result, the conflict was shaped to a
remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed
from the corridors of power. At the center of it all was Lawrence. In early 1914 he was an
archaeologist excavating ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding into legend at the head of
an Arab army as he fought a rearguard action against his own government and its
imperial ambitions. Based on four years of intensive primary document research,
Lawrence in Arabia definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle
East was formed.
IMMEDIATE BESTSELLER: The hardcover debuted at #6 on the New York Times bestseller list
after less than a full week of sales.
EXCELLENT REVIEWS: Already in (with more to come): New York Times, Wall Street Journal,
USA Today, Seattle Times and The Christian Science Monitor. See quotes below.
MINISERIES BUZZ: Lawrence of Arabia is being adapted into a 6-hour TV miniseries by director
Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, White House Down). More details to come.
FASCINATING SUBJECT: One of the most intriguing figures of the 20th century, T. E.
Lawrence's name conjures heroic deeds, and The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, his
autobiographical account of the Arab Revolt, continues to sell well year after year.
UNPARALLELED PRIMARY RESEARCH: Much of what was written about the time and place
has been propaganda from opposing points of view. Anderson lived in the archives, checked
original documents, unearthed many others that had been kept secret, and presents the true
story.
"[An] engrossing, thoughtful and intricate account...." -- New York Times
"Scott Anderson's newly released "Lawrence in Arabia" is a brilliant review of the shifting
alliances and cross currents in what most considered a secondary theater of conflict.
Based on years of intensive research, the volume provides an overview of the war and
how its resolution created the disastrously unstable modern Middle East. It is a dazzling
accomplishment that combines superb historical research with a compelling narrative
equal to any courtroom thriller." -- Seattle Times
Scott Anderson is a veteran war correspondent whose work frequently appears in The
New York Times Magazine and Vanity Fair.

The Rathbones
Janice Clark
An adventure-filled literary debut that chronicles 100 years of a whaling family's
dynasty, inspired by The Odyssey and infused with beautifully detailed
descriptions of ship life reminiscent of Moby Dick.
Mercy, fifteen years old, is the diminutive scion of the Rathbone clan. Her father, the
last in the dynasty of New England whalers, has been lost at sea for seven years--ever
since the last sperm whale was seen off the coast of Naiwayonk, Connecticut. Mercy's
memories of her father and of the time before he left grow dimmer each day, and she
spends most of her time in the attic hideaway of her reclusive Uncle Mordecai. But when
a strange visitor turns up one night, Mercy and Mordecai are forced to flee and set sail
on a journey that will bring them deep into the haunted history of the Rathbone family.
From the depths of the sea to the lonely heights of the widow's walk; from the wisdom of
the worn Rathbone wives to the mysterious origins of a sinking island, Mercy and
Mordecai's enchanting journey will bring them to places they never thought possible.

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT: An IndieNext August Pick and one of The Millions's Most
Anticipated Books of 2013, The Rathbones is the buzziest epic this year. Spanning a century,
this family history, high-seas adventure, and alluring coming-of-age story is bound to delight.
STARRED AND RAVE REVIEWS: The hardcover has received wonderful advance praise,
including a starred Publishers Weekly review and Erin Morgenstern lauding it "Beautifully
crafted and elegantly told. A siren song of a story."
GOTHIC FICTION AT ITS BEST: Garnering comparisons to The Odyssey and Moby-Dick,
Clark's debut is full of myth and fantastic characters as Mercy sails from island to island off the
coast of Connecticut, unraveling her family's history.
INSPIRED BY THE AUTHOR'S UPBRINGING: Janice Clark grew up in Mystic, Connecticut,
and the authenticity of place is evident on every page. Whether within a decaying mansion or on
an archipelago off the Connecticut shore, you can smell the salt air while reading.
"Take a deep breath before you start reading The Rathbones, and renew regularly. Her book is
vastly appealing in its primal reach back to the Odyssey and Moby-Dick. The Rathbones will
draw in men and women alike, and at its close, many of those readers may well be inclined to
take another deep breath--and start all over again." --Bookpage
"The Rathbones is the most sui generis debut you're likely to encounter this year. Think
Moby-Dick directed by David Lynch from a screenplay by Gabriel Garcia Marquez...with Charles
Addams doing the set design and the Decembrists supplying the chanteys. Clark writes a
beautiful prose line, and the story, like the ocean, gets deeper, richer, and stranger the farther
out you go." --The Millions; featured in "Most Anticipated: The Great Second Half for 2013"
"[A] beautifully written, playful and intricate debut novel. Clark creates evocative
descriptions...making her images and encounters between people especially vivid." -- Publishers

This fascinating life of Gabriele d'Annunzio--the charismatic poet, bon vivant, and
virulent nationalist who prefigured Mussolini--traces the early twentieth century's
trajectory from Romantic idealism to Fascist thuggery.
Gabriele d'Annunzio was Italy's premier poet at a time when poetry could trigger riots.
A brilliant self-publicist, he used his fame to sell his work, seduce women, and promote
his extreme nationalism. At once an aesthete and a militarist, he enjoyed risking death
no less than making love, and he wrote with equal enthusiasm about Fortuny gowns and
torpedoes. In 1915 his incendiary oratory helped drive Italy into the First World War, and
in 1919 he led a troop of mutineers into the Croatian port of Fiume, where he
established a delinquent utopia. Futurists, anarchists, communists and proto-fascists
descended on the place, along with literati and thrill-seekers, drug dealers and
prostitutes. Three years later, the fascists marched on Rome, belting out anthems they'd
learned in Fiume, while Mussolini consciously modeled himself on the great poet. This
compelling biography is a revelation both of d'Annunzio's flamboyant life and of the
dramatic times he helped to shape.
DRAMATIC HISTORICAL MOMENT: D'Annunzio was a great writer, but this is more than a
literary biography. It shows how the poet embodied and influenced Italian nationalism, the First
World War, and the rise of Fascism.
MUSSOLINI: Benito Mussolini cited d'Annunzio as a model for his cult of personality; he initially
craved his approval and later tried to sideline the poet for fear of being overshadowed.
MEDIA CELEBRITY: D'Annunzio was one of the first celebrities of the twentieth century--a man
who knew how to use the media to boost his fame and who led an extravagant life of material
excess and promiscuity.
RAVE REVIEWS IN THE UK: The UK publication (January 2013) drew a raft of critical praise,
and pre-pub reviews in the U.S. have been equally stellar.
TRIM SIZE: 6-1/8 x 9-1/4 trim size with over 50 in text illustrations.
"Dazzling ... a shrewd, challenging analysis that links [d'Annunzio's] sadomasochistic psyche to
his pitiless ideology. The result is a resonant study of the themes of power, masculinity,
violence, and desire that made D'Annunzio such a striking emblem of his age." --Publishers
Weekly, starred review
"A richly detailed portrait of an eminently civilized sociopath ... D'Annunzio is appalling but, as
Hughes-Hallett presents him, completely enthralling." --Booklist

Assholes
A Theory
Aaron James
What does it mean for someone to be an asshole? In this national bestseller,
philosopher Aaron James presents a theory of the asshole that is both
intellectually provocative and existentially necessary.
Asshole management begins with asshole understanding. Much as Machiavelli
illuminated political strategy for princes, this book finally gives us the concepts to think or
say why assholes disturb us so, and explains why such people seem part of the human
social condition, especially in an age of raging narcissism and unbridled capitalism.
These concepts are also practically useful, as understanding the asshole we are stuck
with helps us think constructively about how to handle problems he (and they are mostly
all men) presents. We get a better sense of when the asshole is best resisted, and when
he is best ignored--a better sense of what is, and what is not, worth fighting for.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER: The hardcover remained on The New York Times nonfiction

Angeles Times bestseller list for over three months.
PERFECT GIFT BOOK FOR GRADS: With the paperback going on sale right around graduation
time, this makes a perfect gift for college grads (either ironic or sincere), since "assholes" and
"real life" have such overlap.
WIDE APPEAL: From private life (you may be related to one) to work (you may have one for a
boss or co-worker) to politics (most of our leaders, alas) to culture (Charlie Sheen et al.) to
sports (LeBron James and Bret Favre) to history (Alexander the Great, really). Assholes. They're
everywhere.
"James neatly does what philosophers must do: he defines his terms, organizes and codifies,
declares his own loyalties; he locates himself on the spectrum of assholery and suggest origins
both psychological and sociological. The result is a delightful combination of the demotic and the
technical." --Harper's Magazine
"James' research is both thorough and imaginative; his impressive source list ranges from
obscure philosophy books to popular websites to Rudyard Kipling to Kanye West, hip-hop's
greatest asshole. The author's enthusiasm for the subject makes it possible to get through the
book quickly.... There are moments of great insight and outright hilarity." --Kirkus Reviews
"James's volume is equal parts philosophical meditation and historical survey, but its true value
lies in his attempt to precisely define the term."--New York Magazine
Author Residence: Irvine, CA
Aaron James holds a PhD from Harvard and is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the

Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. He's an
avid surfer (the experience of which has directly inspired his theory of the asshole)...and
he's not an asshole.

BISAC 2: Fiction - Biographical
Page Count: 224
Carton Count: 24
A insightful fictional look at one of America's greatest authors--a funny,
compassionate, and convincing portrayal of the creative life of Raymond Carver.
Based on the life of the famed short-story writer Raymond Carver, particularly his
final, postalcoholic decade, Scissors is the story of an author whose life is fraught with
personal and creative struggle. Raymond's first marriage is intense, passionate, and
deeply unhealthy, but his second, to a poet, is filled with love and support. Throughout
both, Raymond (and to some extent, his wives) is in an escalating conflict with his editor,
Douglas. As his success and confidence grow, Raymond strives harder and harder to
ensure that his stories, the most important part of his life, are published as written, but
Douglas, who considers the stories as much his as their author's, is determined to
publish them only in a heavily edited form. Raymond's former alcoholism and his past
and present relationships always lurk in the background; his wives offer their own
perspectives on both; and in the end, after Raymond's death, it is Joanne who finally
confronts Douglas in a way that Raymond never could.
SUBJECT: Carver's stories are very popular and he is taught in colleges and universities all over
the country.
COMPS: The story of Carver's final years, Scissors will appeal to readers of Jay Parini's The
Last Station and The Passages of H. M. and Colm Tobin's The Master.
TRANSLATOR: John Cullen is a prize-winning translator, awarded both the Independent
Foreign Fiction Prize and the French-American Foundation Translation Prize.
COVER QUOTE: "Michaka performs the prodigious feat of intertwining four biographies to
produce a powerful reflection on literature itself."-- Le Monde (Paris)
"The book's debts to its famous subjects are repaid. It is a measure of the book's success that
readers need no knowledge of its famous subjects to appreciate it. Daring and
impressive."--Kirkus
"Whether or not you know anything about Carver and his stories matters little. Stéphane
Michaka's talent and the attention he brings to each of his characters suffice to rivet the reader
to his words. He breathes life into the trio as they revolve around the central figure of the writer,
the man without certainties, whose work, although butchered by his editor, has been passed
down to posterity."--Le Figaro (Paris)
Author Residence: Paris, France
Stephane Michaka was born in Paris in 1974. He studied at Cambridge University and
taught French in South Africa before embarking on a writing career. He has written
theater pieces, children's books, television scripts, and radio plays. Scissors is his third
novel.

A visionary debut novel, an anthropological adventure story that combines the
visceral allure of a thriller with a profound and tragic vision of what happens when
cultures collide.
In 1950, Norton Perina, a young doctor, signs on for an expedition to a remote
Micronesian island in search of a rumored lost tribe. The trip is a success, and Norton
and his anthropologist companion find not only the tribe they're looking for but also a
group of forest dwellers they name "The dreamers," who have somehow attained
extraordinarily long life. Norton suspects the source of their longevity is an indigenous
turtle and, unable to resist the possibility of near immortality, he kills one and smuggles it
back to the States. He scientifically proves his thesis, earning worldwide fame and a
Nobel Prize, but soon discovers that this miracle comes at a terrible price. As things
quickly spiral out of his control, Norton's own demons take hold, with devastating
personal consequences.
SCIENTIFIC APPEAL: The book explores issues of pharmaceutical discovery, making it an
exciting read for anyone interested in the sciences.
BOOK CLUB/READING GROUP POTENTIAL: This is a great contender for reading groups who
enjoyed State of Wonder or The Poisonwood Bible. It is also based on a true story.
COMPS: Norman Rush's Mating, Ann Patchett's State of Wonder, Barbara Kingsolver's The
Poisonwood Bible, and Peter Matthiessen's At Play in the Fields of the Lord.
AUTHOR: Yanagihara is an editor-at-large at Conde Nast Traveler and is well-connected in the
publishing world. (She's also a Vintage alum!)
COVER QUOTE: "A big, soaring, old-school, super-absorbing vehicle into another world.... A
triumph of the imagination." --Anthony Doerr, author of Four Seasons in Rome and The Shell
Collector
"The People in the Trees is a Nabokovian phantasmagoria, bound to raise serious, interesting,
troubling questions. Hanya Yanagihara is a writer to watch." --Madison Smartt Bell, author of
The Color of Night and All Souls' Rising
"This is an engrossing, beautifully detailed, at times amazing (and shocking) novel, and right up
my alley: a far-off and beautiful place in the Pacific, islanders living to their own drumbeat,
earnest meddling outsiders, and a sticky outcome--the Fall, with a lot of science and passion
behind it, and an impressive debut for Hanya Yanagihara. I loved this book." --Paul Theroux,
author of The Lower River and The Great Railway Bazaar

A funny, juicy debut novel about the devious scheming that occurs when the heir
to one of the most massive fortunes in Asia brings his ABC (American-born
Chinese) girlfriend home to meet the family ... without telling her that they're
loaded.
When Rachel Chu agrees to spend the summer in Singapore with her boyfriend,
Nicholas Young, she envisions a humble family home and quality time with the man she
might one day marry. What she doesn't know is that Nick's family home happens to look
like a palace, that she'll ride in more private planes than cars, and that with one of Asia's
most eligible bachelors on her arm, Rachel might as well have a target on her back.
Uproarious, addictive, and filled with jaw-dropping opulence, Crazy Rich Asians is an
insider's look at the Asian jet set; a perfect depiction of the clash between old money
and new money; and a fabulous novel about what it means to be young, in love, and
gloriously, crazily rich.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: Crazy Rich Asians appeared on the bestseller lists of the Los
Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, and ABA Indiebound.
SUMMER'S BUZZ BOOK: Media for Kevin Kwan's debut has lived up to the "crazy rich" part of
its title. Janet Maslin announced in her NYT review, "Crazy Rich Asians is this summer's
'Bergdorf Blondes,' over-the-top funny and a novelty to boot," and it's gotten equal raves in
People, The Wall Street Journal, and Entertainment Weekly.
AUDIENCE: This smart, guilty pleasure was made for a paperback audience, and is going to
appeal to readers who snapped up The Devil Wears Prada, The Nanny Diaries, and Sophie
Kinsella's Shopaholic series in that format.
POTENTIAL FILM: Color Force has nabbed big-screen rights, citing the property's big
international appeal.
"There's rich, there's filthy rich, and then there's crazy rich.... A Pride and Prejudice-like
send-up." --People
"Kwan's rollicking, often-riotous debut novel, Crazy Rich Asians, reads like a behind-the-scenes
primer of the rising über-elite of the ever-powerful Asian world" --The Boston Globe
"A 48-karat beach read." --Entertainment Weekly
"High-quality first-time fiction.... [An] instant favorite." --O, The Oprah Magazine
"Crazy Rich Asians is an unputdownably funny, original, modern novel.... I actually couldn't put
this book down to eat or to watch Downton Abbey." --Plum Sykes, author of Bergdorf Blondes
Kevin Kwan was born and raised in Singapore. Crazy Rich Asians is his first novel.

Revolutionary Summer
The Birth of American Independence
Joseph J. Ellis
From the Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning, preeminent American
historian: a riveting portrait of a crescendo moment in American history.
Joseph J. Ellis's focus is the summer of 1776, the most dramatic few months in the
story of our country's founding. It was then that the thirteen colonies finally came
together and agreed to secede from the British Empire. At the same time, the British
dispatched the largest armada ever to cross the Atlantic; it anchored off the coast of
Staten Island in early July. Facing this massive threat, the Continental Congress and the
Continental Army were forced to improvise decisions on the run. In a brilliant and
seamless narrative, Ellis weaves the political and military experiences as two sides of a
single story, and shows how events on one front influenced outcomes on the other.
Revolutionary Summer enlivens familiar historical events with a freshness at once
revelatory and compelling.

gift book for history enthusiast dads, and a present-worthy perennial paperback for years to
come.
ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Joe Ellis has won both the Pulitzer Prize (Founding Brothers) and the
National Book Award (American Sphinx) in an age when books on the Founding Fathers
proliferate. His mastery of this period is widely acknowledged.
"First-rate history.... [Ellis's] books are chock full of penetrating analysis, from their
often-innovative structures to the provocative insights woven into their narratives. Revolutionary
Summer is no exception." --The Washington Post
"Joseph J. Ellis's tenth book does not disappoint.... Revolutionary Summer reads like a good
yarn by a kindly uncle who, the listener comes to feel, may well have been a participant in the
events he describes.... [Ellis] captures this critical moment in our history with clarity, as well as a
soft-spoken authority that is endearing." --The Christian Science Monitor
"Quite good...in a relatively few pages the author makes clear how very close the American
rebellion came to failing." --Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Throughout this volume we see the clear-eyed mastery of a historian with the acuity to distill a
historical moment into a clash for the ages.... But in describing the significance of these
momentous events he does not boil off the romance of them." --The Boston Globe

The New York Times bestselling author of Maine returns with an exhilarating
novel that springs from the fascinating story of Frances Gerety, the
woman-before-her-time who coined the famous ad line "a diamond is forever,"
and whose legacy will influence four wholly unique marriages.
Evelyn has been married to her husband for forty years--forty years since he slipped
off her first wedding ring and put his own in its place. Delphine has seen both sides of
love--the ecstatic, glorious highs of seduction, and the bitter, spiteful fury that descends
when it's over. James, a paramedic who works the night shift, knows his wife's family
thinks she could have done better; and Kate, partnered with Dan for a decade, has seen
every kind of wedding--beach weddings, backyard weddings, castle weddings--and has
vowed never, ever, to have one of her own. A rich and surprising novel, The
Engagements smartly intertwines each character's relationship with the story of
diamonds in America, and the way--for better or for worse--they've come to symbolize
our deepest hopes for everlasting love.
NATIONAL BESTSELLER: The Engagements was a New York Times extended bestseller, and
appeared on the Publishers Weekly and ABA IndieBound lists.
MAINE: J. Courtney Sullivan's debut novel Commencement made a splash, but it was her
follow-up Maine that rocketed her to a new level, especially in paperback. Our Vintage edition of
Maine is in its thirteenth printing, with almost 200,000 copies in print.
PRAISE: Reviews have been coming in fast and furious and are more glowing than ever before.
Ron Charles raved in The Washington Post:"The Engagements is a delightful marriage of
cultural research and literary entertainment."
TIMING: We're bringing the paperback out at the kick-off of the summer wedding season, a time
that has historically given a boost to wedding-themed fiction. We also expect to benefit from
summer reading.
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: The history of diamonds and diamond advertising in the US is
complicated, as are the feelings that each of the characters have toward diamonds and, in many
cases, marriage. All together it makes for great potential book-club discussion. A guide is
available online from Knopf.
"[Sullivan is] a born storyteller. Like its mineral muse, Engagements shines." --Entertainment
Weekly
"A rollicking, entertaining read and a thought-provoking one too." --The Huffington Post
"Brilliantly represent[s] different facets of marriage.... Captivating.... Clever." --Minneapolis
Star-Tribune
"Satisfying.... At each stage of the game, the engagement ring has a different meaning." --Janet
Maslin, The New York Times
J. Courtney Sullivan is the author of the New York Times bestselling novels
Commencement and Maine. Maine was named a Best Book of the Year by Time
magazine, as well as a Washington Post Notable Book for 2011. Her writing has also
appeared in The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Wall Street Journal,
Glamour, Allure, Real Simple, and New York magazine, among others.

Arabic Poems
Edited by Marlé Hammond
A bilingual anthology of classic and modern Arabic poems, from the sixth century
up to the present, in a beautifully jacketed hardcover. EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY
POCKET POETS.
Arabic Poetry is a dazzling, one-of-a-kind showcase of a fascinating literary tradition.
Given the enormous timespan covered, the editor has chosen to focus her selection on
three related themes: longing for the beloved, longing for the divine, and longing for
freedom. The poems range from the love poetry of the legendary pre-Islamic warrior
'Antara Ibn Shaddad and the medieval Andalusian poet Ibn Zaydun to the popular
modern Lebanese poet Nizar Qabbani and the Palestinian feminist Fadwa Tuqan, and
from medieval mystics to political poetry inspired by the recent Arab Spring.

London Stories
Edited by Jerry White
A one-of-a-kind, beautifully jacketed hardcover anthology of classic stories about
London by a wide range of writers. With full-cloth binding and a silk ribbon
marker. EVERYMAN'S POCKET CLASSICS.
A collection of classic tales from a city that has a major place in the literary
imagination. London is a global metropolis with a central role in the literature, culture,
and imagination of the English-speaking world. By 1800 London was the largest city on
earth, and it went on to become the political and cultural center of a vast empire that
circled the globe. For centuries it has been home to both the most magnificent and the
most squalid lives, vividly chronicled by writers from Defoe and Dickens to Martin Amis
and Zadie Smith. Jerry White's selection of stories from across the centuries provides a
dazzling mosaic of a fascinating place.

El ultimo tango de Salvador Allende
Roberto Ampuero
A former CIA agent involved in the coup d'état against Salvador Allende arrives in
Chile twenty years later to investigate his missing daughter's whereabouts. An
intriguing story about love and betrayal immersed in the complex landscape of
Latin America's quest for political identity (The Last Tango of Salvador
Allende--Spanish-language edition).
On the morning of September 11,1973, the commanders of the Chilean Armed
Forces are nowhere to be found. The coup d'état is well under way and Salvador
Allende heads for the Chilean Presidential Palace where he will give his final speech.
Rufino, personal assistant of the president, former comrade-in-arms in an anarchist
movement, and great lover of tango, a passion that he shares with the Chilean leader,
writes the soon-to-be tragic story of that fateful night on a school notebook. Years later, when the Cold War had long ended, the same notebook unexpectedly
arrives in the hands of David Kurtz, a former CIA agent who, throughout its pages, will
discover not only intimate details of Allende's life, but also unimaginable secrets about
his very own past. ON SALE 3/4/2014

With talent and poise, Roberto Ampuero gives us a passionate novel about loyalty
and betrayal, honesty and indecency, love and heartbreak, and good and evil that lie in
the souls of the characters we remember from history.
ESTABLISHED AUTHOR: With over twelve fiction titles published in several countries, Ampuero
is one of the most influential Chilean writers alive.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITION: He is the recipient of numerous awards, including El Mercurio's
Premio Revista de Libros, China's Best Spanish Novel, and recognition in Buchkultur
magazine's list of Ten Best Novels Published in Germany. LATIN AMERICAN HISTORY: Latin American dictators of the 20th century have, for a long time,
received major artistic, literary, and cultural attention. REPUTABLE AUTHOR: Ampuero was a member of the Communist Youth of Chile during the
coup d'état and was forced into exile in Eastern Germany and Cuba. His experiences during the
fall of Allende, as well as his involvement with Latin American politics (he was the Chilean
ambassador to Mexico and currently serves as the Director of the Ministry of Culture of Chile),
positions him as an authoritative figure to write on the subject.

An innovative scientific approach to sex and sexuality that will revolutionize the
minds of both experts and aficionados. The most rigorous, entertaining, and
complete book an author has ever written about the fascinating scientific study of
human sexuality (SE=X2--Spanish-language edition).
Pere Estupinyà delves into unprecedented scientific research about human sexuality.
He participates in a study about erectile dysfunction and the male orgasm at Rutgers
University, visits prestigious reference centers such as the Kinsey Institute, infiltrates
clinics for sexuality medicine, attends major international sexology conferences, and
interviews physiologists, psychologists, anthropologists, therapists, sociologists,
evolution biologists, and neuroscientists who are experts in sexuality. He also speaks
directly with asexuals and fetishists, multiorgasmic and anorgasmic women, and
intersexuals; he spends one night in a swingers club in New York City, participates in
S&M events, learns about Tantra techniques, talks with pornographic actors, and
attends workshops where a woman teaches how to reach an orgasm using only your
breath and mind. ON SALE 3/4/2014

Estupinyà combines his research with a thorough analysis of scientific studies in
which he finds valuable examples about the unconscious processes of attraction, the link
between mind and genitalia, online sex, disinhibition, the difference between sexual
orientation and sexual identity, polygamy against monogamy, the relationship between
pleasure and pain, the most frequent sexual dysfunctions, and an endless number of
historical anecdotes, practical tips, profound insights, and accurate answers to some of
the common questions regarding one of the activities we are most interested in but of
which, paradoxically, science is more hesitant to explore.
TABOO SUBJECT: Sex remains one of the greatest taboos of Western culture. Using a direct,
transparent, and relatable tone, Estupinyà explores controversial sexual practices and discusses
polemic topics about human sexuality.
ESTABLISHED AUTHOR: As a research chemist and biochemist, Estupinyà has knowledgable
background to write this book. He is also author of two science books for the general public and
a science journalist whose remarkable writings have appeared in influential Spanish-language

hosts an official website, and has over 5,000 likes in Facebook and close to 10,000 followers in
Twitter. MASSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE AND PROMOTION: Estupinyà's book has received a lot of
attention from the Spanish-language media. The author has appeared in relevant television,
print, digital, and radio outlets, including El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia, and Spanish

El vendedor de suenos
Ernesto Quinonez
A remarkable, irresistible story about Chino, a young man from Spanish Harlem
whose quest for love and identity leads him to a violent world of drugs, cruelty,
and betrayal. A dark, yet humorous portrait of the fascinating life in El Barrio.
(Bodega Dreams--Spanish-language edition).
Chino is a young man living in East Harlem. He's newly married, and with a baby on
the way, he struggles to pay rent and attend night school. He meets Willie Bodega, a
drug kingpin who, in exchange of loyalty and power, helps people in the neighborhood
pay for college, medical/law school, basically anything anyone needs. Bodega
introduces him to a criminal network where violence, appearances, and immorality
prevail. Chino is immediately immersed, with no way out. Ironic and humorous, El vendedor de sueños features memorable characters who
reproduce, in great detail, the language and idioms of East Harlem's streets. This highly
visual novel will strike and amuse the reader at the same time.

EXCELLENT RECEPTION: Originally published in English in 2000, Bodega Dreams was a
breakout success. It appeared in Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers list and the The
Village Voice named him one of 1999's Writers on the Verge. HISPANIC APPEAL: Featuring detailed descriptions of the setting, and interjecting them with
sentences in Spanglish and popular Hispanic songs, the book delivers the reader an accurate
portrait of life in Spanish Harlem. REVIEWS: Quiñónez's book has come to the attention of prominent Latino authors, like
Esmeralda Santiago and Oscar Hijuelos. PLAUSIBILITY: As a Latino who was raised in Spanish Harlem, Quiñónez knows the ins and
outs of his neighborhood, and how its residents interact with one other. As critics have pointed
out, the setting is exceptionally realistic and its characters seem highly believable. Praise for Bodega Dreams:
"A new and authentic voice of the urban Latino experience." --Esmeralda Santiago, author of When I Was Puerto Rican
"No simple morality tale, Bodega Dreams is a stark evocation of life in the projects of El Barrio,
the 'mammoth filing cabinets of human lives,' from the keen perspective of someone who has
one foot out the door yet who is homesick already ... the story he tells has energy and nerve."
--The New York Times Book Review
"Quiñónez knows this hood--readers may have to remind themselves that this is a work of fiction
and not a memoir. His prose, detailed and passionate, brings the tale to life." --Time
"In this remarkable debut, Ernesto Quiñónez creates a portrait of Spanish Harlem that's as
colorful and elegiac as the R.I.P.s that Chino, his straight-talking 20-something narrator, once
painted for fallen neighbors as a teenage graffiti artist." --The Los Angeles Times
"This galvanizing debut is the novel East Harlem has been waiting for since the days of the
Young Lords. Quiñónez has a poet's ear for the barrio's Spanglish rhythms and idioms, a brujo's
gift for describing its alma, and an intense, unrelenting streetwise energy." --Publishers Weekly
"Rich with eye-opening detail, [this is] a lively and entertaining work by a young writer whose
talents are deserving of a wide readership." --Oscar Hijuelos

Ernesto Quiñónez was born in Ecuador, but arrived to New York City with his Puerto
Rican mother, Ecuadorian father, and four brothers when he was eighteen months old.

Deepak Chopra's inspirational bestseller about God and our place in the universe,
now available from Vintage Español (God: A Story of Revelation,
Spanish-language edition).
In Deepak Chopra's powerful, groundbreaking, and imaginative new work, a unique
blend of storytelling and teaching, the New York Times bestselling author explores the
evolution of God. By capturing the lives of ten historical prophets, saints, mystics, and
martyrs who are touched by a divine power, Chopra reveals a riveting portrait of a
constantly changing God. Our belief--and therefore God itself--transforms with each
passing century. In this new novel, Chopra brings to life the defining moments of our
most influential sages, ultimately revealing universal lessons about the true nature of
God.
Praise for Deepak Chopra:
BELOVED AUTHOR: Deepak Chopra needs no introduction. He is the author of countless
international bestsellers and a household name in the U.S. He is also a very well-known author
among Spanish readers, who are passionate fans of self-help and inspirational books.
BESTSELLING CATEGORY: Self-help books in general, but especially those with a strong
focus on spirituality and healing, are extremely popular among Spanish readers. El camino
hacia el bienestar will join many popular titles in the Vintage Español roster, by authors such as
Dra. Isabel, Wayne Dyer, and Dr. Andrew Weil.
HOUSE AUTHOR: Chopra is a major part of our self-help catalog. Dios will add to our list of
Chopra titles already in print in Spanish, including El tercer Jesús; Reinventar el cuerpo,
resucitar el alma; and La receta de la felicidad.
"Deepak Chopra, the spiritual sage, has exhibited immense ambition...His attempt to
explain God makes my bones shiver. His success in defining that life-long mystery
brings tears to my eyes and humbles me in gratitude. He has probed through the ages in
order to write a book for the ages." --Maya Angelou
"Spiritual traditions manifest themselves most clearly in the living human beings who
embody them. In this highly readable volume Deepak Chopra has told the engaging
stories of a dozen of these exemplary figures. The result is both inspiring and richly
enjoyable." --Harvey Cox, author of The Future of Faith
"Through his compelling fictionalization, Deepak Chopra offers an intriguing exposition of
the evolution of human theological thought. He should have called the book 'A Brief
History of God'!" --Leonard Mlodinow, coauthor (with Stephen Hawking) of The Grand
Design and A Briefer History of Time About the Author/Illustrator
Deepak Chopra is the author of more than fifty books, including How to Know God; they
have been translated into over thirty-five languages--numerous are New York Times
bestsellers in both the fiction and nonfiction categories. He currently serves as director
for educational programs at The Chopra Center for Well Being in La Jolla, California.

This book should be used as a tool to help the reader reflect on what to do with his
life, especially when he feels off-kilter. Written in her effervescent style and voice, Escribiendo la nueva historia teaches how to retake control of your life through
teachings based on the intricacies and technique of writing movie scripts.
More often than not, things happen beyond our control, and we feel like we live in an
imposed reality, rather than one where we control all the factors. Esquivel believes that if
we want to see changes, we must form that catalyst of change that unhinges us from
our past. We must redefine our lives, rewrite our script, and edit our memories and use
them as a way to propel us into not only our transformation, but the transformation of our
surroundings.

Marte y Venus en el dormitorio
Amor y pasion duraderos en la vida de la pareja
John Gray
From the author of the #1 bestselling book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from
Venus, comes a compelling, honest, and practical guide for a couple's sexual
satisfaction and everlasting passion. (Mars and Venus in the
Bedroom--Spanish-language edition)
Is the loss of sexual desire inevitable in a couple's relationship? Even though
countless marriages seem to confirm this, there's nothing that determines it. Considering
that sexual passion is the basis of a couple's relationship, John Gray discovers that one
of the most insidious enemies of a relationship is the ignorance of the psychological
reactions and physical needs that men and women have. This book is not a conventional sex guide, given that it doesn't focus on the
mechanics of sex, but on the principles and methods that improve the communication
between a couple and, thus, keep the fires of passion burning.

La leccion de August
Wonder (Spanish-langugae Edition)
R. J. Palacio
A beautiful, heartwarming story about a boy's eagerness to blend in while
struggling with self-acceptance. A heartfelt book with a likable protagonist.
(Wonder--Spanish-language edition).
August was born with a facial deformity. He always walks with his head down trying
to hide his face, but is still subject of furtive glances, low whispers, and reactions of
amazement. He rarely goes out, and his life is limited to his house, his family, his dog
named Daisy, and the wonderful Star Wars stories. This year, everything will change
because, for the first time in his life, he will attend a mainstream school. There, he will
learn lessons about kindness, compassion, acceptance, and friendship, the ones that
aren't taught in a classroom or in a textbook. R. J. Palacio has written a spare, warm, uplifting story that will have readers laughing
one minute and wiping away tears the next. With wonderfully realistic family interactions,
lively school scenes, and short chapters, Wonder is accessible to readers of all levels.

ENGLISH EDITION: The English-language edition of the book, Wonder, received extraordinary
media attention and has been ranked as a #1 bestseller on several lists, including The New York
Times. The Spanish-language edition will certainly benefit from the success the title has had. EASY READ: Short chapters make this an excellent choice for reluctant readers. POWERFUL STYLE: Eloquently written, the novel's writing shines with spare, emotional power. RELATABLE TOPIC: Though the situation in this book is extreme, all kids can identify with the
universal theme of social acceptance. ACADEMIC POTENTIAL: School setting makes the novel perfect for classroom use. Praise for Wonder:
"Wonder is essentially...a wonder. It's well-written, engaging, and so much fun to read that the
pages almost turn themselves. More than that, Wonder touches the heart in the most
life-affirming, unexpected ways, delivering in August Pullman a character whom readers will
remember forever. Do yourself a favor and read this book--your life will be better for it."
--Nicholas Sparks, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Wonder is the best kids' book of the year." --Slate.com
"In a wonder of a debut, Palacio has written a crackling page-turner filled with characters you
can't help but root for." --Entertainment Weekly
"Rich and memorable. ...It's Auggie and the rest of the children who are the real heart of
'Wonder,' and Palacio captures the voices of girls and boys, fifth graders and teenagers, with
equal skill." --The New York Times
"What makes R. J. Palacio's debut novel so remarkable, and so lovely, is the uncommon
generosity with which she tells Auggie's story ... The result is a beautiful, funny and sometimes
sob-making story of quiet transformation." --The Wall Street Journal
"The breakout publishing sensation of 2012 will come courtesy of Palacio [and] is destined to go
the way of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and then some."
--The London Times
"Full of heart, full of truth, Wonder is a book about seeing the beauty that's all around us. I dare
you not to fall in love with Auggie Pullman." --Rebecca Stead, Newbery award-winning author of When You Reach Me
"It is the deceptive simplicity and honesty of the work that make Wonder so memorable. Every
single character seems real and well drawn and oh-so human ...This book is beautiful."
--Christopher Paul Curtis, Newbery award-winning author of Bud, Not Buddy

Esopo
A new illustrated translation of Aesop's unforgettable fables (Complete

mentiroso" (The Boy Who Cried Wolf), and "La zorra y la cigüeña" (The Fox and the

Bajo la misma estrella
(The Fault in Our Stars)
John Green
A genuine and moving story about a 16 year-old girl and her relationship with a
boy that, like her, is fighting terminal cancer. A tragic story showing our ability to
dream even in the most difficult circumstances (The Fault in Our
Stars--Spanish-language edition).
Hazel has just turned 16 and she has cancer. Despite treatments that have
miraculously shrunk her tumor, her disease is still terminal. Doctors can't tell her how
much time she has left, and she depends on an oxygen tank and permanent treatments
in order to survive. For several weeks now, Hazel has been part of a support group in
which other kids her age share their experiences, but she attends it reluctantly because
she believes it's pointless to speak to other people if her disease is irreversible. Her life
takes a sudden shift when she meets Augustus Waters, a boy also struggling with
terminal cancer who will completely change her way of seeing things.

PRAISE: The Fault in Our Stars has been on countless bestseller lists, including The New York
Times # 1 bestseller for 13 weeks. The Spanish-language edition will surely benefit from the
ongoing attention this title is receiving.
MOVIE ADAPTATION: Film production is scheduled to begin in August, which will attract major
media attention, driving Spanish-language sales. ELOQUENTLY WRITTEN: A YA title that reads well across all age groups. Green's writing style
is dynamic and fresh.
RELATABLE PROTAGONIST: Though the situation in this book is extreme, the familiarity in the
narrator's first-person voice allows young readers to easily identify with her. Praise for The Fault in Our Stars:
"Damn near genius...Simply devastating...Fearless in the face of powerful, uncomplicated,
unironized emotion." --Time
"[Green] delivers more than a collectible ... with keen observation and empathy ... producing a
story about two incandescent kids who will live a long time in the minds of the readers who come
to know them." -- People
"Funny...Poignant...Luminous." --Entertainment Weekly
"A pitch perfect, elegiac comedy." --USA Today
"[Green] shows us true love--two teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most
humiliating physical and emotional ordeals--and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the
beach." --The New York Times Book Review
"A smarter, edgier Love Story for the Next Generation." --Family Circle
"Green writes books for young adults, but his voice is so compulsively readable that it defies
categorization. He writes for youth, rather than to them, and the difference is palpable. ... You
will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book." --NPR.org
"What makes this novel compelling is not a thrill-a-minute plot but the authenticity of characters
deeply engaged in trying to live 'forever within the numbered days.' John Green deftly mixes the
profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit." --The
Washington Post
Author Hometown: Indianapolis, IN
John Green was born in Indianapolis in 1977. He graduated from Kenyon College with a
double major in English and Religious Studies. After working as an editor and book critic,
he published his first novel, Looking for Alaska (2005), which received a Printz Award
and was ranked in the American Library Association's Best Fiction for Young Adults list.

From Lauren Kate, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fallen books,
comes a riveting new series about love, betrayal, and epic consequences--a
world-altering tale told by a girl whose tears have the power to raise the lost
continent of Atlantis.
Never, ever cry. . . . Eureka Boudreaux's mother drilled that rule into her daughter
years ago. But now her mother is gone, and everywhere Eureka goes he is there:
Ander, the tall, pale blond boy who seems to know things he shouldn't, who tells Eureka
she is in grave danger, who comes closer to making her cry than anyone has before.
But Ander doesn't know Eureka's darkest secret: ever since her mother drowned in a
freak accident, Eureka wishes she were dead, too. She has little left that she cares
about, just her oldest friend, Brooks, and a strange inheritance--a locket, a letter, a
mysterious stone, and an ancient book no one understands. The book contains a
haunting tale about a girl who got her heart broken and cried an entire continent into the
sea. Eureka is about to discover that the ancient tale is more than a story, that Ander
might be telling the truth . . . and that her life has far darker undercurrents than she ever
imagined. From Lauren Kate comes an epic saga of heart-stopping romance,
devastating secrets, and dark magic . . . a world where everything you love can be
washed away.
Lauren Kate is a top-tier author with a massive fan base. Readers will be thrilled to have
a new book from her and to begin a new series franchise with this A-list author. Hot category: Readers love Lauren Kate and can't get enough of supernatural fiction. SPANISH YA: The Fallen series has become a key part of our growing Spanish YA
program. This title joins the three previous books already in print and selling very well in
Spanish. It will continue to help us expand our reach into the supernatural and YA
market in Spanish even further. Rights

Slim
El hombre mas rico del mundo
Diegio Osorno
A biography of Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world. (Carlos Slim: The
World's Wealthiest Man--Spanish-language edition).
PROMINENT FIGURE: Carlos Slim is currently considered the world's wealthiest man, with
holdings in a variety of Mexican firms through his conglomerate Grupo Caso (which among other
things, controls Sanborns, a Mexican site similar to Amazon), and a reach that spans various
fields, including technology, retail, communications, and finance. LATIN AMERICAN APPEAL: A native of Mexico, Carlos Slim's story is likely to attract
Spanish-language readers. NEW INSIGHTS INTO MEXICO: Mexico is constantly in the news. Given recent controversies, it
has been at the very forefront of public awareness in the US. But unlike books that focus on
subjects such as violence, drugs, and immigration, Carlos Slim's biography gives us insight into
the Mexican business world.
