City on Fire
Garth Risk Hallberg
A sprawling, landmark debut novel from a major new talent: set in gritty 1970s New
York, City on Fire illuminates an intricate network of punks, writers, musicians,
teachers, lovers, heirs--all connected by a central mystery.
New York City, 1976. Meet Regan and William Hamilton-Sweeney, estranged
heirs to one of the city's great fortunes; Keith and Mercer, the men who, for better
or worse, love them; Charlie and Samantha, two suburban teenagers seduced by
downtown's punk scene; an obsessive magazine reporter and his idealistic
neighbor--and the detective trying to figure out what any of them have to do with
a shooting in Central Park on New Year's Eve. The mystery, as it reverberates
through families, friendships, and corridors of power, will open up even the
loneliest-seeming corners of the crowded city. And when the blackout of July 13,
1977, plunges this world into darkness, each of these lives will be changed
forever. City on Fire is an unforgettable novel about love and betrayal and
forgiveness, about art and truth and rock 'n' roll: about what people need from
each other in order to live--and what makes the living worth doing in the first
place.

Dictator
A Novel
Robert Harris
Following Imperium and Conspirata, the extraordinary final volume of the
bestselling Ancient Rome trilogy traces the collapse of the Roman Republic through
the tumultuous last years of the ancient world's greatest orator.
At the age of forty-eight, Cicero is in exile, his great power sacrificed on the
altar of his principles. And yet, in the words of one of his most famous aphorisms,
"While there is life, there is hope." By promising to support Caesar--his political
enemy--he is granted return to Rome. There, he fights his way back to
prominence: first in the law courts, then in the Senate, and finally by the power of
his pen, until he is again the preeminent statesman in the city. Even so, no public
figure, however brilliant and cunning, is completely safeguarded against the
unscrupulous motives of others. Riveting and unforgettable, Dictator encompasses
some of the most epic events in ancient history--the dissolution of the Roman
Republic, the murder of Pompey, the assassination of Julius Caesar. But the central
problem it presents is a timeless one: how to keep political freedom unsullied by
personal ambition, vested interests, and the erosive effects of ceaseless foreign
wars. In Robert Harris's indelible portrait, Cicero attempts to answer this question
with his thoughts and his deeds, becoming a hero--brilliant, flawed, fearful yet
brave--for his own time and for ours.

BEST OF THE YEAR: The Knopf hardcover edition was released in January 2016. The
Hutchinson UK edition went on sale in October 2015, and has accumulated a mountain of
accolades, having been named a best book of 2015 in The Guardian, The Spectator, BBC
History Magazine, The Sunday Times (London), The Mail on Sunday (London), Metro
(London), and The Herald (Scotland).
BROAD APPEAL: In addition to being the last volume of the acclaimed Ancient Rome
trilogy, Dictator is highly enjoyable as a stand-alone novel. The book covers one of the
most decisive periods in ancient history--the fall of the Republic--and iconic events that
have fascinated readers for centuries, including the assassination of Caesar, in an
accessible, illuminating, and entirely fresh way.
SALES TRACK: Harris's nine previous novels have all been worldwide bestsellers, including
the two previous titles in the Ancient Rome trilogy, Imperium (2006) and Conspirata
(2009), published by Simon & Schuster in the U.S., as well as the author's most recent
titles with Knopf/Vintage, An Officer and a Spy (2014) and The Fear Index (2012).
Praise for Dictator:
"A remarkable literary achievement. . . . A trilogy that is likely to stand alongside the
works of Robert Graves and Mary Renault as an enduring imaginative vision of the ancient
w o r l d . " - - The Guardian
"Thrilling. . . . Harris remains impressively faithful to the ancient sources, embellishing the
gaps with terse dialogue, exhilarating exchanges, and witty observations. . . . Feels like the
best kind of narrative history, at once frenetic but measured in its assessment of the
characters who brought the Republic to an end." --New Statesman
"Harris has written smart, gripping thrillers . . . but his Cicero novels are more akin to
Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall in their subjects--men of towering intellect and humanity--and
in their visceral evocation of history. . . . [Dictator] is charming as well as engrossing."

The Snowden Files (Movie Tie In Edition)
The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man
Luke Harding
The official movie tie-in to the Oliver Stone directed major motion picture Snowden,
releasing May 13, 2016. The book offers a definitive account of Edward Snowden,
the extraordinary NSA whistleblower behind the biggest intelligence leak in history
and the forces that tried to stop him; written by reporter Luke Harding, member of
the Guardian's Snowden coverage team. Previously published as The Snowden
Files.
In a tour-de-force of investigative journalism, award-winning Guardian
reporter Luke Harding describes the whistleblower journey of Edward Snowden,
the young NSA contractor determined to reveal the electronic mass surveillance
programs of the U. S. government, along with Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras,
and the unprecedented international uproar their collaboration provoked. Harding
clarifies in clear and shocking terms the astonishing capabilities and activities of
American and British electronic spooks, explaining the fevered public debates
about privacy and security that have shaken the world. From Hong Kong to
Moscow, from secluded Brazilian mansions to fortified London newspaper offices,
the book follows the journalists, diplomats and spies drawn into the vortex of
Snowden's revelations, which have altered the fabric of our internet age.

"Reads like a le Carré novel crossed with something by Kafka. . . . A fast-paced, almost
novelistic narrative. . . . Leave[s] readers with an acute understanding of the serious issues
involved." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"[Snowden's] story is one of the most compelling in the history of American espionage. . . .
The book captures the drama of Snowden's operation in often-cinematic detail. . . . Harding
has delivered a clearly written and captivating account of the Snowden leaks and their
aftermath." --The Washington Post
"Engaging and lucid. . . . A gripping read. . . . Harding is a gifted writer. . . . The strength of
Harding's book is its ability to bring Snowden's story to life while elucidating the contours of
a much larger set of issues. . . . In rendering the complicated comprehensible in an
entertaining way, Harding's book provides an important public service." -- San Francisco

The Madmen of Benghazi
Gérard de Villiers
A gripping, ripped from the headlines espionage thriller set in volatile post-Qaddafi
Libya. Featuring Malko Linge, an Austrian aristocrat who freelances for the CIA, this
is the first in a series of novels by Gérard de Villiers, the bestselling French author
whose sales exceed 120 million copies, and who has been hailed as France's
answer to Ian Fleming. NOW IN PREMIUM MASS MARKET.
To counter the Islamists ready to seize control of post-Qaddafi Libya, the
Americans try to establish a constitutional monarchy with Ibrahim al-Senussi on
the throne. When a missile narrowly misses al-Senussi's plane during his descent
into Egypt, it becomes clear that someone wants him dead. The CIA sends Malko
Linge to Cairo to learn more about al-Senussi's plans--by seducing his
companion, a ravishing British model. This mission, although enormously
appealing to Malko, becomes very dangerous, as the same conspirators who are
trying to kill al-Senussi also take aim at Malko. Malko follows al-Senussi to
Benghazi, where they both find themselves facing Abu Bukatalla, the Madman of
God, a fundamentalist who sees control of Libya as his for the taking.

Linge novels.
SERIES CHARACTERS: The Austrian aristocratic Malko Linge is one of the most popular and
enduring characters in all of spy fiction.
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERS: De Villier's Malko Linge novels--the longest running series
in the history of espionage fiction--have long been bestsellers in France, Germany, Japan,
and many other countries.
AUTHOR: Regarded as the Ian Fleming of France, Gerard de Villiers was renowned for his
ability to weave real characters and geopolitical events into his bestselling spy novels.
DE VILLIERS PUBLISHING PROGRAM: De Villiers published his 200th novel before he died in
November 2013. Since July 2014, Vintage has translated 4 of his novels into English
(including Chaos in Kabul, Revenge of the Kremlin, and Lord of the Swallows)--selling over
70,000 copies. A fifth, Surface to Air, will be published in September 2016.
Praise for the Malko Linge novels:
"[De Villiers] writes as a hard-headed political realist.... His books tell unvarnished truths
that many prefer to ignore." --The Wall Street Journal
"Will win fans among those who crave thrilling espionage escapism, especially those who
relish Ian Fleming and Clive Cussler." --Booklist
"Blazingly fast.... Entertaining.... Readers may wonder why American publishers waited so
long to bring the series to this country." --Publishers Weeky
"De Villiers's books are ahead of the news and sometimes even ahead of events
themselves." --The New York Times Magazine
Gérard de Villiers was the author of the SAS series of spy novels, one of the longest running
fiction series ever written by a single author. In a New York Times Magazine article on
January 30, 2013, Robert F. Worth wrote that de Villiers' "mastery of political intrigue has
made him France's most widely read author." De Villiers' connections in the world of
espionage allowed him to anticipate real life assassinations before they occurred and unravel
complex controversies. Gérard de Villiers died in November 2013.

A House of My Own
Stories from My Life
Sandra Cisneros
A richly illustrated jigsaw autobiography and an intimate album of a literary legend's
life and career--from the beloved author of A House on Mango Street.
From the Chicago neighborhoods where she grew up--and which inspired her
groundbreaking novel, The House on Mango Street--to the region of Mexico
where her "ancestors lived for centuries," the places Sandra Cisneros has resided
have provided inspiration for her now-classic works of fiction and poetry. But a
house of her own, somewhere she could truly take root, has eluded her. With this
collection--spanning three decades, and including never-before-published
work--Cisneros has come home at last. Ranging from the private (her parents'
loving and tempestuous marriage) to the political (a rallying cry for one woman's
liberty in Sarajevo) to the literary (a tribute to Marguerite Duras), and written with
her trademark lyricism, in these signature pieces Cisneros recalls transformative
memories and reveals her artistic and intellectual influences. Poignant, honest, and
deeply moving, A House of My Own is an exuberant celebration of a life lived to
the fullest, from one of our most beloved writers.

"These essays provide a multiplicity of perspectives on Cisneros, a place where each of
these writings can talk with the others, where a conversation can take place while the
reader eavesdrops. A complex, nuanced picture of the writer emerges." --Chicago Tribune
"Brilliant, lovely, spirited." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Classic Cisneros. Her prose reads like poetry, rhythmic and energetic; her poetry is as
natural and effortless as plainspoken prose. In fact, this is what makes Cisneros who she

down to earth.... This memoir has the transcendent sweep of a full life.... It is for anyone
looking for inspiration to travel far, live large and write." --H ouston Chronicle

world. Read this book and laugh, cry and rejoice!" --Edwidge Danticat
"Cisneros is kind and warm and honest: everything you hope your literary hero will be."

The Household Spirit
A Novel
Tod Wodicka
A powerful, poignant, and bighearted novel, from the acclaimed author of All Shall
Be Well; and All Shall Be Well; and All Manner of Things Shall Be Well--the story of
an unlikely friendship between a middle-aged loner and a grieving college student.
Howie Jeffries--avid fisherman, longtime GE Waste Water Treatment Plant
worker, social recluse--lives in isolation out on rural Route 29 in Queens Falls,
New York. Well, not alone exactly--there's one other house adjacent to his own.
But although Howie and Emily Phane have been neighbors since the day she was
born twenty-odd years earlier, they've never actually spoken. Both have their
reasons--Howie is debilitatingly shy and Emily tries to hide the fact that she
suffers from a nighttime affliction that makes her terrified to go to sleep. When
tragedy strikes, however, Howie and Emily are forced into a friendship that neither
of them could have ever imagined but that will change their lives profoundly and
forever. With The Household Spirit, Tod Wodicka has crafted a luminous story of
friendship between two misfits--and of the unexpected capabilities of the human
heart.

PREVIOUS BOOK: Tod's first novel, All Shall Be Well; and All Shall Be Well; and All Manner
of Things Shall Be Well, for which he received amazing reviews ("Heartbreaking, hilarious."
- -The New Yorker), is also available as a Vintage paperback and eBook. It was nominated
for a Believer Book Award.
AUTHOR: An American author residing in Berlin, Wodicka is a truly unique personality. In
addition to his novels, he has written for The Guardian, Granta, and other publications,
and he's a great media personality, having recently appeared on the BBC and elsewhere.
REVIEWS: The book has received great reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. The
Minneapolis Star Tribune calls it "wry and touching" and "perfectly formed," and the
Financial Times says it's "a heartwarming story." The Household Spirit was also named to
Esquire's "Summer Reading List."
SUBJECT: Sleep paralysis--the condition explored in the novel--has been much in the
news of late, following the release of a documentary on the subject, The Nightmare. Tod
has suffered from sleep paralysis for years, and he depicts the experience with a kind of
accuracy and sensitivity that could come only from firsthand experience.
"Wry and touching.... Perfectly formed.... The author ensures that we are affected by [his
characters'] separate plights and cheered by their shared camaraderie. Wodicka keeps the
proceedings light." --M inneapolis Star Tribune
"Wodicka's troubled characters are sympathetic, and his sentences are funny and
surprising." --T he New Yorker
"Presented through Wodicka's irreverently funny writing, the relationship between [his]
two oddball characters is amusing and touching.... The Household Spirit is a
heartwarming story of loneliness and connection." --Financial Times
"An affecting portrait of lonely misfits." --The New York Times Book Review
"Wodicka gives the story a genuinely characterful allure ... painting a tender and intimate
portrait of [his characters'] inner lives that affectingly burrows under the skin.... Its
generosity of spirit is undeniable." --The Sunday Times
"Comic, poignant and wholly convincing.... Both unsentimental and strangely moving....
[ The Household Spirit] come[s] full circle, attaining perfect integration between start and
finish--it connects." --The Independent
"Wodicka is known to be LOL funny. But when he does sad, it's the best fiction around by
miles, full of tender ache and tenderer beauty." --Artforum
"[A] bittersweet, deeply sympathetic sophomore effort.... Wodicka's fluid, expressive
prose--dotted with quotable observations often as odd as his players--serves well his
weaving of such a convincing, unexpected story from eccentricity, pain, and need....
Strange and rich and precisely pitched." --Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"An achingly beautiful and unexpectedly hilarious portrait of two deeply sad, deeply
sensitive people reaching the breaking point and pulling each other back." --BookPage
"Touching.... A novel well worth reading." --Publishers Weekly

The Patriarch
A Mystery of the French Countryside
Martin Walker
A beloved village, a renowned family, a suspicious death .... It's just the latest
adventure in the Dordogne for police chief Bruno!
It's the fulfillment of a boyhood dream when Bruno is invited to the lavish
birthday celebration of World War II flying ace Marco "the Patriarch" Desaix. But
when the party ends in the death of Gilbert, Marco's longtime friend, it's another
day on the job for the chef de police. All signs point to a tragic accident, but Bruno
isn't so sure. There is more to the Desaix family's lives and loyalties than meets
the eye. There is Victor, the Patriarch's son, Gilbert's old comrade-in-arms and
sometime rival; Victor's seductive wife, Madeleine, whose roving eye intrigues
Bruno even more than her fierce political ambitions; Yevgeny, another son, an artist
whose paintings seem to hold keys to the past; and the Patriarch himself, whose
postwar Soviet ties may have intersected all too closely with Gilbert's career in Cold
War intelligence.

Skinny Dip
Carl Hiaasen
From the gloriously wicked pen of bestselling author Carl Hiaasen, a riotous,
madcap skewering of the corporate and political mercenaries who might be
destroying the Everglades, but can't seem to accomplish much else--not even
murder. First time in Vintage Crime/Black Lizard.
Chaz Perrone might be the only marine scientist in the world who doesn't know
which way the Gulf Stream runs. He might also be the only one who went into
biology to make a killing, and now he's found a way--doctoring water samples so
that a ruthless tycoon can continue dumping fertilizer into the Everglades. When
Chaz suspects that his wife, Joey, has figured out his scam, he pushes her
overboard a cruise liner into the night-dark Atlantic.

Unfortunately for Chaz, Joey Perrone, clinging blindly to a bale of Jamaican pot,
is plucked from the ocean by former cop and current loner Mick Stranahan. Instead
of rushing to the police, Joey decides to stay dead and (with Mick's help) screw
with Chaz until he screws himself. As Joey haunts her homicidal husband, as
Chaz's cohorts in pollution grow uneasy about his increasingly erratic behavior,
and as Mick Stranahan discovers that six failed marriages haven't killed the
reckless romantic in him, we're taken on a hilarious, full-throttle, pure Hiaasen
ride through the warped politics and mayhem of the human environment, and the
human heart.
VINTAGE BACKLIST: Vintage is now Hiaasen's frontlist paperback publisher, and is also
reissuing new paperback editions of Hiaasen's backlist as rights become available. Skinny

Praise for Skinny Dip:
"A screwball delight so full of bright, deft, beautifully honed humor that it places Mr.
Hiaasen in the company of Preston Sturges, Woody Allen, and S. J. Perelman. . . . The book
abounds in nonchalantly perfect lines. . . . Nobody winds up happier than the reader,
unless it's Mr. Hiaasen for having hit his stride so unmistakably. . . . You'd follow him
anywhere." --T he New York Times
"It doesn't do Carl Hiaasen justice to call him Florida's funniest state product. . . . Hiaasen
is something bigger: a superb national satirist . . . and a great American writer about the
great American subjects of ambition, greed, vanity, and disappointment." -- Entertainment
Weekly

In a thrilling dramatic narrative, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Joby Warrick traces
how the strain of militant Islam behind ISIS first arose in a remote Jordanian prison
and spread with the unwitting aid of two American presidents. Trade paperback will
have a new afterword.
When the government of Jordan granted amnesty to a group of political
prisoners in 1999, it little realized that among them was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a
terrorist mastermind and soon the architect of an Islamist movement bent on
dominating the Middle East. In Black Flags, an unprecedented character-driven
account of the rise of ISIS, Joby Warrick shows how the zeal of this one man and
the strategic mistakes of Presidents Bush and Obama led to the banner of ISIS
being raised over huge swaths of Syria and Iraq.
The wave of brutal beheadings and suicide bombings initiated by Zarqawi and
his followers persisted until the lethal airstrike on his hideout that killed him in
2006. His movement, however, endured. First calling themselves al-Qaeda in Iraq,
then Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, his followers sought refuge in unstable,
ungoverned pockets on the Iraq-Syria border. When the Syrian civil war broke out
in 2011, and as the U.S. largely stood by, ISIS seized its chance to pursue
Zarqawi's dream of an ultra-conservative Islamic caliphate.
Drawing on unique high-level access to CIA and Jordanian sources, Warrick
weaves gripping, moment-by-moment operational details with the perspectives of
diplomats and spies, generals and heads of state, many of whom foresaw in ISIS a
menace worse than al-Qaeda and tried desperately to stop it. Black Flags is a
brilliant and definitive history that reveals the long arc of today's most dangerous
extremist threat.
AUTHORITATIVE HISTORY OF ISIS: This is the authoritative, full history of the rise of the
Islamic State, a riveting and deeply dramatic account. This is not a simple current events
book--Warrick explores the longstanding historical pressures that led to ISIS, as well as
the group's phoenix-like rebirths.
CHARACTER-DRIVEN ACCOUNT: Warrick is masterful at investigating the terrifyingly real
and complicated leaders behind the horrible slaughter of ISIS, and the entrenched
opposition facing them--Zarqawi and Baghdadi but also the embattled young king of
Jordan, Abdullah II, and the razor-sharp CIA analyst Nada Bakos, relentless in her pursuit
of the terrorist organization's head.
BACKLIST POTENTIAL TO RIVAL: Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower, Dexter Filkins's
The Forever War, Rajiv Chandrasekaran's Imperial Life in the Emerald City, Mark Bowden's
Black Hawk Down.
BEST OF YEAR: Picked as one of the Best Books of the year by The Washington Post;
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times; Men's Journal; San Francisco Chronicle; and People
Magazine.
Praise for Black Flags
"Mr. Warrick . . . has a gift for constructing narratives with novelistic energy and detail,
and in this volume, he creates the most revealing portrait yet laid out of Abu Musab
Al-Zarqawi. . . . For readers interested in the roots of the Islamic State . . . there is no
better book to begin with than Black Flags." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Joby Warrick's Black Flags is invaluable for anyone struggling to understand the gruesome
excesses and inexplicable appeal of ISIS . . . [a] seminal book." --Los Angeles Times
"Warrick's book might be the most thorough and nuanced account of the birth and growth
of ISIS published so far. Black Flags is full of personalities, but it keeps its gaze carefully
focused on the wider arc of history." --The Boston Globe

Dynasty
The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar
Tom Holland
A follow-up to Rubicon, his masterful history of early Rome, here Tom Holland
presents a vivid, fascinating account of the reign of the first five Roman emperors.
Picking up where he left off with Rubicon--the murder of Julius Caesar--here
historian Tom Holland weaves a masterful history of the first five Roman emperors:
Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. Holland gives us a dazzling
portrait of Rome's first imperial dynasty, tracing the astonishing story of its rule of
the world: both the brilliance of its allure and the blood-steeped shadows cast by
its crimes. Ranging from the great capital rebuilt in marble by Augustus to the
dank and barbarian haunted forests of Germany, Dynasty is populated by a
spectacular cast: murderers and metrosexuals, adulterers and Druids, scheming
grandmothers and reluctant gladiators. A tale of rule and ruination, Dynasty is the
portrait of a family that transformed and stupefied Rome and that continues to
cast a mesmerizing spell across the millennia.

AUTHOR: Tom Holland is an acclaimed scholar and, in addition to being the author of
numerous works of popular nonfiction, has also written a number of novels.
BACKLIST: In addition to Rubicon, the rest of Holland's nonfiction titles--Persian Fire, The
Forge of Christendom, and In the Shadow of the Sword--are available in paperback and

PRAISE: Dynasty has received positive reviews in both the U.S. and the UK. The Wall Street
Journal raves that the book "surely secures [Holland's] place among the foremost writers
of popular history practicing today," and The Guardian calls it "brilliant, terrifying and
compelling."
RUBICON: Dynasty is a sequel of sorts to Rubicon, Holland's acclaimed history of the age of
Caesar and the rise and fall of the Roman Republic ("narrative history at its best." --Ian
McEwan, The Guardian), which has sold 88k copies in paperback to date.
"Holland has crafted a history of early Rome that has all the gripping detail and narrative
momentum of a novel. Mr. Holland does not gloss over the holes or uncertainties in his
story, but instead uses his knowledge of the period ... to place early and sometimes
disputed accounts in context, and to give the reader a startlingly visceral sense of the
violence and brutality and wretched excess of ancient Rome." --Michiko Kakutani, The
New York Times
"Fascinating.... [Dynasty] has Holland's usual novelistic ability to bring a narrative alive,
together with his extraordinary command of ancient sources." --Matt Ridley, The New
York Times Book Review
"Dynasty surely secures [Holland's] place among the foremost writers of popular history
practicing today.... His ability to operate at small- and large-scale simultaneously--both
domi and fores, in Rome and abroad, as Tacitus put it--is one of his great talents." --The
Wall Street Journal
"Terrific.... An unforgettable story." --The New York Times Book Review
"Brilliant, terrifying and compelling." --Alex Preston, The Guardian
"[A] rollicking account.... Holland skillfully captures both the opportunities and pitfalls that
Augustus's legacy presented his heirs." --Financial Times
"Both a formidable effort to compile what we can know about the ancient world and a
sensational story.... [Holland] knits the history of ancient Rome into his narrative--its
founding myths, the fall of the Republic, the religious superstitions--with a skill so
dexterous you don't notice the stitching." --The Observer
"[A] masterly account.... It is down to [Holland's] skill as a storyteller that there's no
difficulty in imagining that it might all happen again tomorrow." --The Sunday Times

Nine Essential Things I've Learned About Life
Harold S. Kushner
Practical, illuminating reflections on what it means to live a good life, from the
beloved bestselling author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People.
A congregational rabbi for half a century and the bestselling author of more
than a dozen books on faith, ethics, and how to apply the lessons of religious
thought to everyday challenges, Rabbi Harold S. Kushner has demonstrated time
and again his understanding of the human spirit. Now, in Nine Essential Things
I've Learned About Life, he distills the wisdom of an extraordinary career into nine
essential takeaways, offering readers a lifetime's worth of spiritual food for
thought, pragmatic advice, and strength for trying times. In this compassionate
and deeply personal work, Kushner relates how his time as a twenty-first-century
rabbi has shaped his senses of religion and morality, offering fresh, vital insight
into belief ("there is no commandment in Judaism to believe in God"), conscience
(the Garden of Eden story as you've never heard it), mercy (forgiveness is "a favor
you do yourself, not an undeserved gesture to the person who hurt you"), and
more. Grounded in Kushner's brilliant readings of scripture, history, and popular
culture, Nine Essential Things I've Learned About Life is compulsory reading from
one of our foremost sages.

AUTHOR: Since 1978, when he first published When Bad Things Happen to Good People
(over 4 million copies sold), Kushner has been lauded for his ability to translate erudite
engagement with scripture and religious thought into accessible readings relevant for
today's world.
PRAISE: Nine Essential Things has received a starred review in Publishers Weekly, which
calls it "a thoughtful living guide for doubters and the faithful alike," and more glowing
praise is sure to follow.
BACKLIST: Kushner's impressive backlist, including When Bad Things Happen to Good
People (over 380k copies in paperback) and Living a Life That Matters (134k copies in
paperback) is available in paperback and eBook from Anchor.
HOW-TO ADVICE: Kushner's vast appeal has been grounded in the way he turns questions
of faith into inspiring, applicable life advice, and Nine Essential Things is no exception.
AN ECUMENICAL VOICE: With the relentless stridency of religious dialogue in today's
public sphere--the evangelical right on the one hand, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris on
the other--Kushner's steadfast commitment to understanding, tolerance, and the
necessary complexity of belief occupies a fresh and all-too-singular niche.
"In sharply intelligent yet friendly prose, Kushner provides a thoughtful living guide for
doubters and the faithful alike.... A provocation and a balm for the skeptical and the
religious, offering persuasive evidence that belief, forgiveness, hope, altruism, and joy are
all possible." --Publishers Weekly (starred)
"Life-affirming." --The Jewish Week
"A lifetime of wisdom from someone who has studied, suffered, celebrated, and, through
it all, taught an entire generation. Written for everyone, it could have been written by no
one but Rabbi Harold Kushner." --Rabbi David Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters
"Kushner both wrestles with and celebrates the capacity of faith and community to reaffirm
life's purpose and generate joy and meaning in the twenty-first century." --Dr. Erica
Brown, author of Happier Endings: A Meditation on Life and Death
"The empathy and understanding of Rabbi Harold Kushner shine forth on every page. He
draws upon his vast storehouse of knowledge and speaks clearly from his compassionate
heart to provide insight and comfort to his readers. This is a profoundly wise and spiritual
book." --Rabbi David Ellenson, chancellor emeritus of Hebrew Union College, Jewish
Institute of Religion
"I remember how, when I was in school, Harold Kushner's words opened up Judaism to me
in new ways.... Now, decades later, Rabbi Kushner's wisdom and his understanding of faith
have grown even richer. His book offers inspiring guidance from a man who has embraced
life." --Rabbi Mychal B. Springer, director, Center for Pastoral Education at the Jewish
Theological Seminary

Poems About Sculpture
Edited by Murray Dewart; Foreword by Robert
Pinsky
A unique collaboration between a sculptor and a poet: an anthology of poems from
around the world and across the ages about our most enduring art form. AN
EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET.
Sculpture has the longest memory of the arts: from the Paleolithic era, we find
stone carvings and clay figures embedded with human longing. And poets have
long been fascinated by the idea of eternity embodied in the monumental temples
and fragmented statues of ancient civilizations. From Keats's Grecian urn and
Shelley's "Ozymandias" to contemporary verse about Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial
and Janet Echelman's wind-borne hovering nets, the pieces in this collection
convert the materials of the plastic arts--clay, wood, glass, marble, granite,
bronze, and more--into lapidary lines of poetry. Whether the sculptures
celebrated here commemorate love or war, objects or apparitions, forms human or
divine, they have called forth evocative responses from a wide range of poets,
including Homer, Ovid, Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Rilke, Dickinson, Auden, Lowell,
and Plath.

Shaken and Stirred
Intoxicating Stories
Edited by Diana Secker Tesdell
An irresistible literary cocktail of stories about drinking and making merry by great
writers from across the past two centuries. EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET
CLASSICS.
In this lively collection, wine snobs receive their comeuppances at the hands of
Roald Dahl and Edgar Allan Poe; innocents overimbibe in tales by Jack London and
Alice Munro; riotous partying exacts a comic price in P. G. Wodehouse and
Kingsley Amis; Charles Jackson and Jean Rhys chronicle liquor-soaked epiphanies;
while John Cheever, Vladimir Nabokov, and Robert Coover set their characters
afloat on surreal, soul-revealing adventures. Here too are well-lubricated tales by
Dickens, Twain, Dorothy Parker, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Colette, Dawn Powell, and
many more. The settings include hotels and restaurants, a wine cellar in Italy, a
café in Paris, a bar in Dublin, a New York nightclub, Jazz Age speakeasies,
suburban lawn parties, and the occasional jail cell, and are peopled by lovers and
loners, bartenders and chorus girls, youths taking their first sips and experienced
tipplers waking with hangovers. Whether living it up or drowning their sorrows,
the vividly drawn characters in these sparkling pages will leave you shaken and
stirred.

Mexico 86
Así ganamos la copa
Diego Armando Maradona
This revealing and candid autobiography by international soccer legend Diego
Armando Maradona will capitivate readers with its insights into his controversial life.
[Spanish-language original; title translates to: Mexico '86: This is How We Won the
World Cup. My World Cup, My Truth]
His childhood growing up in the slums of Buenos Aires; his emergence as a
soccer phenomenon at the tender age of 12; his goals against England (including
the infamous "Hand of God" goal); his rocky relationship with FIFA; his issues with
drugs; the list goes on and on. Maradona has never avoided controversy and in
this book he talks about it all. Thirty years after the World Cup (Mexico '86), Diego
Armando Maradona revisits the most brilliant moment of his career: his winning
goal that gave Argentina the World Cup. His retrospective narrative is honest,
candid, witty, and smart.

SUBJECT: Maradona is an exciting and established talent; he played in four FIFA World
Cups, becoming world renowned for his successes on and off the soccer field. His
controversial past has followed him (for better or worse) through the years, providing
much rich material that he discusses in this candid book.
TIMING: With the Summer Olympics in Brazil this year, Latin American sports figures are
sure to take center stage providing a strong platform for this title.
THE BEAUTIFUL GAME: Soccer is by far the most passionately followed sport throughout
Latin America (and much of the world), and Maradona is one of it's most well-known
figures.
MORE FROM VINTAGE ESPANOL ON SPANISH SPORTS: Along with titles on our list like
Messi and Chicharito, Vintage Español continues its efforts to expand our reach into the
Spanish-language sports market, bringing profiles of beloved Hispanic sports stars to
Spanish readers in the US.
Diego Armando Maradona is a retired Argentine professional soccer player. He has served as
a manager and coach of the national team of Argentina as well as managing other clubs.
Many in the sport, including soccer writers, former players, current players and fans, regard
Maradona as the greatest player of all time. He was joint FIFA Player of the 20th Century with
Pelé. Maradona was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1960. Growing up he forged a unique
style, on and off the field. Talented but hugely controversial, charming but challenging to
work with, he faced powerhouses both on and off the field. He struggled with an addiction to
cocaine for several years, tarnishing his reputation as an athlete. A rising star with
Argentina's Boca Juniors, he later played for Barcelona and, at the peak of his career, for
Napoli (Naples), where he helped win two championships titles and the UEFA Cup. With
Argentina's national team, he participated in four World Cups: Spain 1982, Mexico 1986,
Italy 1990, and the United States 1994. In 2010, he coached Argentina's national team in the
World Cup in South Africa.

Una casa propia
Historias de mi vida
Sandra Cisneros
From the author of The House on Mango Street, a richly illustrated compilation of
true stories and nonfiction pieces that, taken together, form a jigsaw
autobiography--an intimate album of a beloved literary legend.
From the Chicago neighborhoods where she grew up and set her
groundbreaking The House on Mango Street to her abode in Mexico in a region
where "my ancestors lived for centuries," the places Sandra Cisneros has lived have
provided inspiration for her now-classic works of fiction and poetry. But a house
of her own, where she could truly take root, has eluded her. With this
collection--spanning three decades, and including never-before-published
work--Cisneros has come home at last.
Ranging from the private (her parents' loving and tempestuous marriage) to
the political (a rallying cry for one woman's liberty in Sarajevo) to the literary (a
tribute to Marguerite Duras), and written with her trademark lyricism, these
signature pieces recall transformative memories as well as reveal her defining
artistic and intellectual influences. Poignant, honest, deeply moving, this is an
exuberant celebration of a life in writing lived to the fullest.

"These essays provide a multiplicity of perspectives on Cisneros, a place where each ofthese
writings can talk with the others, where a conversation can take place while the reader
eavesdrops. A complex, nuanced picture of the writer emerges." --Chicago Tribune
"Brilliant, lovely, spirited." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Classic Cisneros. Her prose reads like poetry, rhythmic and energetic; her poetry is as
natural and effortless as plainspoken prose. In fact, this is what makes Cisneros who she is
as a writer: simple, melodious language that explores emotions and brings big ideas down
to earth ... This memoir has the transcendent sweep of a full life.... It is for anyone
looking for inspiration to travel far, live large and write." --Houston Chronicle
"Dazzling.... Revealing, impressive.... Refreshingly candid." --Los Angeles Times
"An extraordinary and magical journey. Sandra Cisneros makes me so happy that I am a
reader, so joyful that she is a writer, and even more exhilarated that she is part of our world.
Read this book and laugh, cry and rejoice!"
--Edwidge Danticat
"Cisneros is kind and warm and honest: everything you hope your literary hero will be."

Eyes
Novellas and Stories
William Gass
From the acclaimed author of Middle C and The Tunnel--and one of the finest prose
stylists of our time: a dazzling new collection of novellas and short stories that
impress, astonish, and prompt us to look at the world anew.
"The point where an underground spring suddenly bursts to the surface is
known as an eye. It is a place of mystery, where dry ground becomes soaked with
life-giving water, and nature gives us a glimpse of all that happens out of the
realm of human vision." So begins William Gass's latest collection, with these
evocative lines from Jan DeBlieu. What follows are six extraordinary works of
fiction--stories and novellas that capture these moments of mystery and explore
the hidden philosophical depths of everyday life as only Gass can. "Charity"
examines the roles of asking, giving, and receiving through the prism of a young
lawyer who offers a simple gift. "In Camera" takes us into an aesthete photography
shop owner's incomparable collection of images. "Don't Even Try, Sam" gives us
the voice of the prop piano from Casablanca, and "Soliloquy for a Chair" is
narrated by a folding chair in a barbershop that is ultimately bombed. Incisive,
imaginative, and darkly funny, Eyes is a tour de force from a master of modern
fiction.

A Strangeness in My Mind
A novel
Orhan Pamuk
From the Nobel Prize-winning, bestselling author of Snow and My Name Is Red: an
expansive new novel about life in modern Istanbul.
A panoramic look at life in Istanbul over the past half-century, A Strangeness in
My Mind is the story of Mevlut Karataş--who arrives in the city as a boy and
immediately falls in love with it. He spends three years writing love letters to a girl
he has seen just once, only to elope with her sister by mistake. Although he grows
to cherish his wife and the family they have together, Mevlut stumbles toward
middle age as a lowly street vendor, even though everyone around him seems to
be reaping the rewards of a rapidly modernizing Turkey. Told through the eyes of
a diverse cast of characters--many of them members of Melvut's extended
f a m i l y - -A Strangeness in My Mind paints a brilliant tableau of life among the
newcomers who have changed the face of Istanbul over the past fifty years.

AUTHOR: Orhan Pamuk is the Nobel Prize-winning author of My Name Is Red, Snow, and
The Museum of Innocence, among others. The New York Times has called him "great and
almost beguiling," and The Washington Post has declared him "one of the great novelists
of his generation."
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Boston Globe, LA Times,
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and the Financial Times have all named the book one of the
best of 2015.
PRAISE: The novel has received great reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. The New York
Times Book Review calls A Strangeness in My Mind "a tremendous concatenation of voices
and places and politics and culture," The Wall Street Journal says it's "magnificent," and
The Washington Post raves that it's "one of Pamuk's most enjoyable novels."
VINTAGE PAMUK BACKLIST: There are 11 of Pamuk's books on the Vintage backlist, each
sporting a distinctive series look. They have sold over a million copies in paperback.

in general).
SOCIAL MEDIA: Snow and My Name Is Red have 50,000 Goodreads ratings, and Pamuk's
Facebook page, maintained by Vintage, has over 300,000 followers.
"A complex psychological drama.... A tremendous concatenation of voices and places and
politics and culture.... [Written with] virtuosic craft, intellectual richness, emotional
subtlety and a feeling of freedom that comes from a narrative that finds its most
meaningful moments in the side streets of storytelling." --The New York Times Book
Review
"Magnificent." --The Wall Street Journal
"A glorious and teeming everyman epic.... In the midst of the massive sprawl that is
Istanbul, at the juncture of West and East, Pamuk uses a bickering crowd of family and
friends to tell the story of a factious, ever-changing culture and its many points of
discord: religion, secularism, ethnicity, tradition, modernity, geography, prosperity,
gender. The women in these pages are fabulous, by the way." --The Boston Globe
"A remarkable feat." --Chicago Tribune
"It is Pamuk's boundless compassion that makes the life of a struggling street vendor
become, on the page, as monumental and as worthy of our attention as a sultan's."
--Anthony Marra, San Francisco Chronicle
"Reading Pamuk is like sipping a glass of fine wine or reading a late Dickens novel. Writers
don't get any better." -- Counterpunch
"A love letter to modern Turkey, and above all to the city of Istanbul.... Pamuk does for
Istanbul something like what James Joyce did for Dublin. He captures not just the look and
feel of the city, but its culture, its beliefs and traditions, its people and their values."
- -The Washington Post

Empire of Self
A Life of Gore Vidal
Jay Parini
An intimate, authorized yet frank biography of Gore Vidal (1925-2012), one of the
most accomplished, visible, and controversial American novelists and cultural
figures of the past century.
The product of thirty years of friendship and conversation, Jay Parini's Empire
of Self probes behind the glittering surface of Gore Vidal's colorful life to reveal
the complex emotional and sexual truth underlying his celebrity-strewn life. But
there is plenty of glittering surface as well--a virtual who's who of the American
century, from Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart through the Kennedys,
Princess Margaret and the crème de la crème of Hollywood. Jay Parini crafts Vidal's
life into an accessible, entertaining story that puts the experience of one of the
great American figures of the postwar era into context; introduces the author and
his works to a generation who may not know him; and looks behind the scenes at
the man and his work in ways never possible before his death. Provided with
unique access to Vidal's life and his papers, he excavates many buried skeletons
yet never loses sight of his deep respect for Vidal and his astounding gifts. This is
the biography Gore Vidal has long needed.

A WHO'S WHO: Among the friends and enemies (and frenemies) who figure in these pages
are: Tennessee Williams, Eleanor Roosevelt, Truman Capote, Anaïs Nin, Norman Mailer,
William F. Buckley Jr., Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Italo Calvino, Christopher
Hitchens, Christopher Isherwood, Frederico Fellini, Princess Margaret, and, oh, it goes on
and on.
AUTHOR: Parini's previous biographies of Robert Frost, John Steinbeck, and William
Faulkner have emerged as the go-to versions of their lives, as this one certainly will. And
in their endless conversations and interviews, Vidal bequeathed to him insights, material,
and witticisms no other biographer will ever have.
LASTING LITERARY ACHIEVEMENT: Vidal's The City and the Pillar was a pioneering and
courageous work of gay literature. His American history novels are like the home movies
of the American ruling elite. Myra Breckinridge is one of the funniest and most outrageous
comic novels ever written. And the elegent essays in United States are near immortal
examples of the form. And that's for starters.
"Marvelous. . . . A portrait that is both affectionate and balanced." --The Economist

JAY PARINI, a poet and novelist as well as biographer, is Axinn Professor of English at
Middlebury College. His novels include The Last Station (adapted as an Academy Award
nominated film and translated into more than thirty languages), Benjamin's Crossing, and

and the forthcoming New and Collected Poems, 1975-2015. He has written biographies of

Dan Brown
Dan Brown's #1 internationally bestselling thriller featuring Robert Langdon is soon
to be a major motion picture directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks and
Felicity Jones, from Columbia Pictures/Sony, in theaters in October 2016. Trade
paperback movie tie-in edition.
Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon awakens in an Italian hospital,
disoriented and with no recollection of the past thirty-six hours, including the
origin of the macabre object hidden in his belongings. With a relentless female
assassin trailing them through Florence, he and his resourceful doctor, Sienna
Brooks, are forced to flee. Embarking on a harrowing journey, they must unravel a
series of codes, which are the work of a brilliant scientist whose obsession with
the end of the world is matched only by his passion for one of the most influential
masterpieces ever written, Dante Alighieri's The Inferno. Dan Brown has raised the
bar yet again, combining classical Italian art, history, and literature with
cutting-edge science in this captivating thriller.

The Ambassadors
Henry James; Introduction by Sarah Churchwell
One of the great masterpieces of James's late period--and the author's own favorite
among his works. EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY.
First published in 1903, The Ambassadors follows the middle-aged Lambert
Strether, dispatched from Massachusetts to Paris by his wealthy fiancée to "rescue"
her son Chad from the corrupting influences of Europe and its wicked women.
Once Strether arrives in Paris, however, Chad introduces him to a world that he
finds refined and sophisticated, rather than debauched and base. He is especially
enchanted by Chad's female companions, Madame de Vionnet and her daughter,
Jeanne, and begins to wonder if, all his life, he has missed out on what the wider
world has to offer. As his fiancée, waiting in Massachusetts, grows impatient, she
sends more ambassadors to retrieve her wayward men. A darkly comic, masterfully
written story of liberation, self-discovery, and the meaning of living well.

Americans and Europeans.

Surface to Air
A Malko Linge Novel
Gérard de Villiers
In the latest Malko Linge political thriller, the CIA freelancer travels to Russia to foil a
terrorist plot to shoot down Air Force One. FIRST ENGLISH-LANGUAGE
PUBLICATION. A VINTAGE CRIME/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL.
In New Jersey, an immigrant mourns the deaths of his family, killed in a U.S.
airstrike in Pakistan. Vowing revenge against his adoptive country, he reaches out
to extremist groups online--and is delighted to make contact with a Muslim
terrorist who promises to help him get a surface-to-air missile from the Russians.
His plan is to shoot down Air Force One. The CIA sends Malko Linge to monitor
the would-be terrorist. But then Chechen rebels steal the truckload of
surface-to-air missiles and carry them off into the hinterlands. With help from his
old friend, the crooked Georgian double agent Gocha Sukhumi, and from Gocha's
alluring paramour, Julia Naryshkin, Malko will pursue the missiles into Chechnya
and Dagestan, risking life and limb to stop the plot before it's too late.

Review Attention
SERIES CHARACTERS: The Austrian aristocrat Malko Linge is one of the most popular and
enduring characters in all of spy fiction. Malko's frequent enemy and rival Rem Tolkachev,
the head of Russia's FSB, also seen in Revenge of the Kremlin and Lord of the Swallows,
appears again in this entry.
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERS: De Villiers' Malko Linge novels--the longest-running series
in the history of espionage fiction--have long been bestsellers in France, Germany, Japan,
and many other countries.
AUTHOR: Regarded as the Ian Fleming of France, Gérard de Villiers was renowned for his
ability to weave real characters and geopolitical events into his bestselling spy novels.
DE VILLIERS PUBLISHING PROGRAM: Surface to Air joins four previous novels in our Malko
Linge series, most recently Revenge of the Kremlin (July '15) and Lord of the Swallows
(February '16). They have sold 70,000 copies to date. Surface to Air is the last one
currently scheduled.
Praise for the Malko Linge novels:
"[De Villiers] writes as a hard-headed political realist.... His books tell unvarnished truths
that many prefer to ignore." --The Wall Street Journal
"Will win fans among those who crave thrilling espionage escapism, especially those who
relish Ian Fleming and Clive Cussler." --Booklist
"Blazingly fast.... Entertaining.... Readers may wonder why American publishers waited so
long to bring the series to this country." --Publishers Weeky
De Villiers's books are ahead of the news and sometimes even ahead of events
themselves." --The New York Times Magazine
Gérard de Villiers (1929-2013) spent his five-decade career cultivating connections in the
world of international intelligence, which allowed him to masterfully blend fiction with an
insider's knowledge of international affairs--and to anticipate geopolitical events before
they occurred. Originally published from 1965 until his death in 2013, his bestselling SAS
series of 200 spy novels, starring Malko Linge, has long been considered France's answer to
Ian Fleming, with Malko as his James Bond.

Born to Run (Spanish-language ed)
Bruce Springsteen
Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to
writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and
originality found in his songs.
[English-language edition: Born to Run -- Simon & Schuster; 09/2016]
In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's
halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write
about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began.
He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry,
danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he
refers to as "The Big Bang": seeing Elvis Presley's debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.
He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a
bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming
candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that
inspired his best work, and shows us why the song Born to Run reveals more than
we previously realized.

Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen,
but this book is much more than a legendary rock star's memoir. This is a book for
workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or
anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll.
Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like
many of his songs ("Thunder Road," "Badlands," "Darkness on the Edge of Town,"
"The River," "Born in the U.S.A.," "The Rising," and "The Ghost of Tom Joad," to
name just a few), Bruce Springsteen's autobiography is written with the lyricism of
a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his
experiences.
SIMULTANEOUS WORLD LAUNCH: In the US, Vintage Español will publish the
Spanish-language edition, while the English-language edition will be published by Simon
& Schuster.
INTERNATIONAL STAR: Undoubtedly one of the most famous singers of our time;
Springsteen's international appeal will surely aid in sales.
SPANISH-LANGUAGE APPEAL: Springsteen's music is heard all over the world, and his
fan-base among Spanish-language speakers is huge.
Author Residence: New Jersey, United
States
Bruce Springsteen has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall
of Fame, and the New Jersey Hall of Fame. He is the recipient of 20 Grammy Awards, the
Academy Award, and the Kennedy Center Honors. He lives in New Jersey with his family.

American Pastoral (MTI)
American Trilogy (1)
Philip Roth
The official movie tie-in edition of Philip Roth's nationally bestselling and Pulitzer
Prize-winning novel. The film releases October 21, 2016 and stars Ewan McGregor,
Jennifer Connelly, David Strathairn and Dakota Fanning.
Soon to be a Major Motion Picture. As the American century draws to an
uneasy close, Philip Roth gives us a novel of unqualified greatness that is an elegy
for all our century's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss. Roth's
protagonist is Swede Levov, a legendary athlete at his Newark high school, who
grows up in the booming postwar years to marry a former Miss New Jersey, inherit
his father's glove factory, and move into a stone house in the idyllic hamlet of Old
Rimrock. One day in 1968, Swede's beautiful American luck deserts him. For
Swede's adored daughter, Merry, has grown from a loving, quick-witted girl into a
sullen, fanatical teenager--a teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of
political terrorism. And overnight Swede is wrenched out of the longed-for
American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively
readable, propelled by sorrow, rage, and a deep compassion for its characters, this
is Roth's masterpiece.

The Big Book of Jack the Ripper
Otto Penzler
A new anthology from Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler, centered around
the historical enigma whose name has become synonymous with fear: Jack the
Ripper. A VINTAGE CRIME/BLACK LIZARD ORIGINAL.
Of all the real-life serial killers whose gruesome deeds have splashed across
headlines throughout human history, few have reached the near-mythical status of
Jack the Ripper. Terrorizing the world with a rash of violent murders in London's
East End in the fall of 1888, Saucy Jack seemed to vanish just as quickly, leaving
future generations to speculate upon his identity and whereabouts--and living on
in some of the most spectacularly unnerving fiction ever written. Collected here,
for the first time ever, are 41 tales featuring the infamous slasher, from classics by
Marie Belloc-Lowndes, Robert Bloch, and Ellery Queen to never-before-seen
stories by contemporary masters Jeffery Deaver, Loren D. Estleman, Lyndsay Faye,
and many more. Also featured in this volume are essential true-crime artifacts of
Jack the Ripper lore, including genuine witness statements, autopsy reports,
contemporary news articles, and astonishing theories from the world's foremost
Ripperologists--as is only proper for a case that is truly as chilling as fiction.

The Invention of Nature
Alexander von Humboldt's New World
Andrea Wulf
The acclaimed author of Founding Gardeners reveals the forgotten life of Alexander
von Humboldt, the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we
see the natural world, and in the process created modern environmentalism.
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most
famous scientist of his age. His restless life was packed with adventure and
discovery, whether he was climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or
translating his research into bestselling publications that changed science and
thinking. Among Humboldt's most revolutionary ideas was a radical vision of
nature, that it is a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for
the use of humankind alone. Now Andrea Wulf brings the man and his
achievements back into focus: his daring expeditions and investigation of wild
environments around the world and his discoveries of similarities between climate
and vegetation zones on different continents. She also discusses his prediction of
human-induced climate change, his remarkable ability to fashion poetic narrative
out of scientific observation, and his influence on iconic figures such as Simón
Bolívar, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, and John Muir. This brilliantly
researched and masterfully written book shows the myriad fundamental ways in
which this vital and lost player in environmental history and science created our
understanding of the natural world.

BEST OF THE YEAR: The Invention of Nature was named one of the New York Times Top
10 Books of the Year, and was listed as a Best Book of 2015 in The Economist, Kirkus
Reviews, and Publishers Weekly. It won the Costa Biography Award, and is a finalist for the
Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction, and the Andrew Carnegie
Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction.
RAVE REVIEWS: Wulf is a brilliantly evocative, witty, and lyrical evangelist for Humboldt's
restoration to his rightful place in intellectual history; judging by press and reviews, Wulf's
readers have become instant converts.
AUTHOR PLATFORM: After a successful US tour with 25+ stops last year to promote the
hardcover, Wulf will be touring again in the spring (Apr. 4-May 22) for the hardcover and
in the fall (Oct. 4-Nov. 14) for the paperback. She has also begun to write a monthly
online column for The Atlantic about the history of science, and is continually expanding
her audience.
LONGEVITY: Years after her books' initial publication, Wulf is still invited to give talks
about The Brother Gardeners and Founding Gardeners; the combination of Wulf's skill in
historical writing, her charisma and popularity as an author and speaker, and the
interdisciplinary relevance and eternal importance of her subject ensure a similar longevity
for The Invention of Nature.
GROWTH: After a modest initial ship of 8,800, the book is now in its 15th printing, and
has grossed 60,000 copies and counting, with minimal returns. These figures provide a
fantastic springboard for the paperback.
"Engrossing. . . . Wulf magnificently re-creates Humboldt's dazzling, complex personality
and the scope of his writing. . . . Her book fulfills her aim to restore Humboldt to his place
'in the pantheon of nature and science,' revealing his approach as a key source for our
modern understanding of the natural world." --The Wall Street Journal
"Andrea Wulf reclaims Humboldt from the obscurity that has enveloped him. . . . [She] is as
enthusiastic as her subject. . . . Vivid and exciting. . . . Wulf's pulsating account brings this
dazzling figure back into a dazzling, much-deserved focus." --The Boston Globe
"In our Anthropocene age, Humboldt's theories read like prophecy. More important, they
offer wisdom about the way forward. It is impossible to read The Invention of Nature
without contracting Humboldt fever. Wulf makes Humboldtians of us all." --The New York
Review of Books

The Mare
A Novel
Mary Gaitskill
The most powerful work yet from the NBA-nominated Mary Gaitskill--the story of a
girl and the horse who changes everything for her.
Velveteen Vargas is eleven years old, a Fresh Air Fund kid from Brooklyn living
with a host family--Ginger, a failed artist and shakily recovered alcoholic, and her
academic husband, Paul--in upstate New York. In The Mare, Gaitskill illuminates
the shifting relationships between adults and child over the course of several
years, as well as Velvet's encounter with the horses at the stable down the
road--especially with an abused, unruly mare called Fugly Girl. Filled with strong
supporting characters--Velvet's abusive mother, an eccentric horse trainer, a
charismatic older boy who awakens Velvet's nascent passion--the novel traces
Velvet's journey between the vital, violent world of the inner city and the world of
the small-town stable. Raw, heart-stirring, and original, in Gaitskill's hands, the
story of a girl and a horse is joined with the lives of people from different races
and classes trying to meet one another honestly, to staggering effect.

AUTHOR: Gaitskill is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, and her work has appeared
in The New Yorker, Harper's, Esquire, The Best American Short Stories, and The O. Henry
Prize Stories. She has legions of fans around the country.
FIRST NOVEL IN A DECADE: The Mare is Gaitskill's much-anticipated first novel since the
National Book Award finalist, Veronica--which has sold 100k copies--in 2005.
PRAISE: As always, Gaitskill has received glowing reviews. The Chicago Tribune calls her
"something like a latter-day D. H. Lawrence," and The New York Times gushes that she's
"a preternaturally gifted writer." The novel has been named a New York Times Notable
Book, and a best book of the year by The Washington Post, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
and NPR, as well as one of Entertainment Weekly's "Blockbuster Novels of Fall 2015."
BACKLIST: Gaitskill's short story collection Don't Cry, as well as her novel, Veronica, are
available from Vintage in paperback.
READING GROUPS: A subversive coming-of-age story that crosses racial and class
boundaries, The Mare is ripe for discussion and a reader's guide is already in place.
"Shimmers with exacting and sometimes hallucinatory observation." --The New York Times
"A captivating story." --The Washington Post
"An exciting read.... The Mare ripples with internal emotional movement.... Nothing stands
still, not the horses, not the violent mother or the would-be mother, not the vicious
jealous friends, not the boyfriend or husband, not the sky." --The New York Review of
Books
"[Gaitskill's] strange gift is to unfold emotions, no matter how petty or upsetting, and
describe them with disarming patience for their stutters and silences, their repetitions and
contradictions. The result often feels both primal and electric, something like a latter-day
D. H. Lawrence." --Chicago Tribune
"The range of Gaitskill's humanity is astonishing and matched only, it seems, by a desire
to confront readers with the trembling reality of our shared ugliness." --Los Angeles Times
"Give[s] eloquent voice to the ineffable thoughts and feelings experienced across
boundaries of age and race and class and gender--and even, in this case, species."

This Gulf of Fire
The Great Lisbon Earthquake, or Apocalypse in the Age of Science
and Reason
Mark Molesky
A captivating and definitive account of the greatest natural disaster ever to hit the
modern Western world.
On All Saints' Day 1755, tremors from an earthquake measuring perhaps 9.0 or
higher on the moment magnitude scale swept furiously from their origin along the
Atlantic seabed toward the Iberian and African coasts. Directly in their path was
Lisbon, then one of the wealthiest cities in the world and the capital of a vast
global empire. Within minutes, much of the city lay in ruins.
But this was only the beginning. A half hour later, a giant tsunami unleashed by
the quake smashed into Portugal's coastline and barreled up the Tagus River,
carrying countless thousands out to sea. By day's end, the great wave chain would
claim victims on four separate continents. To complete Lisbon's destruction, a
hellacious firestorm then engulfed the city's shattered remains. Subjecting
survivors to temperatures exceeding 1,832°F (1,000°C), it burned for several
weeks, killing thousands and incinerating much of what the earthquake and
tsunami had spared.

Drawing on a wealth of new sources, the latest scientific research, and a
sophisticated grasp of European history, Mark Molesky gives us the authoritative
account of the Great Lisbon Disaster and its impact on the Western
world--including descriptions of the world's first international relief effort; the rise
of a brutal, yet modernizing, dictatorship in Portugal; and the effect of the disaster
on the spirit and direction of the European Enlightenment.
Much more than a chronicle of destruction, This Gulf of Fire is, at its heart, a
gripping human drama, involving an array of unforgettable characters--such as
the Marquês de Pombal, the once-slighted striver who sees in the chaos his path
to supreme power, and Gabriel Malagrida, the charismatic Jesuit whose view that
the earthquake was a punishment sent by God leads inexorably to his demise.
There is Dom José, the unremarkable king of Portugal, who stands by his people
in their moment of greatest need but ultimately abandons them to the tyranny of
his first minister. There is Kitty Witham, the plucky English nun who helps her
fellow sisters escape from their collapsing convent, and Manoel Portal, the
Oratorian priest who flees the burning capital on his broken leg and goes on to
write one of the definitive accounts of the disaster. Philosophers, kings, poets,
emperors, scientists, scoundrels, journalists, and monkeys all make their
appearance in this remarkable narrative of the mid-eighteenth century.
AUTHOR EXPERTISE: Mark Molesky is a expert researcher fluent in Portuguese who has
uncovered many never-before-chronicled stories from the era and many new voices.
SUBJECT: The Lisbon earthquake has been largely overlooked outside of academic circles,
despite the fact that it's crucial to the vast cultural and political upheaval of
eighteenth-century Europe. Now, it won't be.
GRIPPING NARRATIVE READ: This is supremely authoritative, but highly readable history at
it's best. In the mold of Simon Schama, Robert Massie, and Robert Hughes, but also Greg
Grandin, Charles Mann, and Simon Winchester.
"[A] vivid portrayal . . . Molesky's story is well-informed and well-paced . . . [and] fluent
prose and vivid vignettes keep the reader engaged . . . Molesky paints a dolorous picture
of the decadence of the pre-earthquake city . . . [and] knows everything worth knowing
about the quake." --The Wall Street Journal
"Molesky brings to vivid and horrifying life a disaster that forever changed Lisbon and
provoked a Europe-wide debate about God and the workings of nature." --The Boston

The Apartment
S. L. Grey
A high-concept psychological chiller about a troubled married couple on a house
swap from hell. An Anchor Original.
Mark and Steph live an idyllic life with their young daughter in sunny Cape
Town until one day when three men in masks violently break in. Traumatized but
physically unharmed, Mark and Steph are unable to return to normal and are living
in constant fear. When a friend suggests they take a restorative vacation abroad
via a popular house-swapping website, it sounds like the perfect plan. They find a
nice artistic couple with a charming apartment in Paris who would love to come to
Cape Town. How could Mark and Steph resist the idyllic, light-strewn pictures, and
the promise of a romantic getaway? But once they arrive in Paris, they quickly
realize that nothing is as advertised. As their perfect holiday takes a deadly turn,
the cracks in their relationship grow ever wider and dark secrets from Mark's past
begin to emerge.
Deftly alternating between two complex and compelling narrators, The
Apartment is a terrifying tour de force of horror, of psychological thrills, and of
chilling suspense.

Beatlebone
Kevin Barry
A searing, surreal novel that bleeds fantasy and reality--and Beatles fandom--from
one of literature's most striking contemporary voices, author of the international
sensation City of Bohane.
It is 1978, and John Lennon has escaped New York City to try to find the island
off the west coast of Ireland he bought nine years prior. Leaving behind
domesticity, his approaching forties, his inability to create, and his memories of
his parents, he sets off to find calm in the comfortable silence of isolation. But
when he puts himself in the hands of a shape-shifting driver full of Irish charm
and dark whimsy, what ensues can only be termed a magical mystery tour.
Beatlebone is a remarkable feat of narrative, language, and literary imagination
that marries the most improbable element to the most striking effect. It is a book
that only Kevin Barry would attempt, let alone succeed in pulling off--a Hibernian
high-wire act of courage, nerve, and great beauty.

Public Library and Other Stories
Ali Smith
From the acclaimed, Man Booker-shortlisted author of How to be both and The
Accidental: an artfully written new story collection that celebrates the power of
books and the libraries in which they live. An Anchor Original.
In Public Library and Other Stories, Ali Smith gives us twelve remarkable stories
that celebrate the power of books: their ability to challenge us, comfort us, and
illuminate our view of the world. These stories explore, by turns, a scholar who
enters into a dialogue with her deceased father about Wilfred Owen, a girl who
discovers books bound with sheet music, and a woman whose dreams seem to be
set in a 1960s novel. All are written with Ali's trademark inventiveness, flair, and
depth of feeling. Woven between the stories are twelve conversations with
acclaimed authors reflecting on the essential role that libraries have played in their
lives. Published earlier this year in the UK as part of a campaign to protest the
some five hundred British libraries in danger of cuts or closure, Public Library
comes to American readers as our libraries face similar threats. This collection
stands as a work of literary activism--and as a wonderful read from one of our
finest authors.

Each of Smith's stories is a gem: fast paced, incongruous, every situation made

increasingly acclaimed career to combine a playful and experimental approach with
material that is both moving and funny--and she has done it again." --Daily Mail

Sword of Honor
David Kirk
The thrilling sequel to Child of Vengeance (2013), continuing the saga of legendary
samurai Musashi Miyamoto in ancient Japan.
Having survived the cataclysmic battle of Sekigahara, which established the
mighty Tokugawa Shogunate, young Musashi Miyamoto travels through Japan
determined to proclaim his revolutionary epiphany that the "way of the sword," the
ancient code that binds samurai to their masters, needs to be abolished. But there
is a price on his head: during the battle, Musashi insulted an adept of the
powerful Yoshioka School. Musashi is determined to travel to Kyoto, domain of
the Yoshioka, for a reckoning. Mushashi intends to deal a crushing blow to the
traditional samurai dogma by destroying the Yoshioka warriors, but he will learn
that his spectacular gifts with the sword are no match for the cunning of powerful
lords.

HISTORICAL FICTION AT ITS BEST: A seamless blend of meticulous research, mesmerizing
action sequences, and a driving narrative bring the extraordinary Musashi Miyamoto to
life.
BACKLIST OPPORTUNITY: A terrific opportunity to re-promote David Kirk's
underappreciated first book, Child of Vengeance.
FOR FANS OF: Action-packed, slightly old-school historical fiction, particularly James
Clavell's 1970s classic Shogun, James A. Michener's epic historical novels, even The Three
Musketeers--but with a modern sense of unsanitized violence, a la modern warrior stories
like Lone Wolf and Cub.
"in their sense of honor and their attitude to war, glory and death, these Japanese warriors
recall the heroes of the Iliad.... Packed with battles and hand-to-hand fights, with daring
escapes and acts of vengeance, with blood and squalor, Sword of Honor is something else
too.... It is easy to glorify war until you have experienced it. Musashi Miyamoto does
wonderful feats of arms--some of the revenge he takes on his enemies is terrible, some
comic.... But he becomes a better, because wiser, man."-- The Wall Street Journal
"An extraordinary read.... Musashi is an unforgettable character, and this novel should
make Kirk a leading name in historical fiction." --Booklist (starred review)
"Poetic.... Kirk's vigorous and robust prose complements the action to make rousing
historical and philosophical statements." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Solid, action-packed, thoughtful.... So authentic, it's easy to forget one is reading a
novel."--Library Journal (starred review)
"[Kirk's] books are amazing, a way of giving us historical perspective about feudal Japan by
making us resonate with one character and his ordeals; just as Dumas did with The Three
Musketeers and 19th-century France.... What Kirk has accomplished in this series is a new
way to understand a classic tale: the sword hero and his quest, in a world full of ancient
rituals and beliefs, a world entirely different to our own. If you love samurai films, ancient
Japanese traditions, and would like to immerse yourself in them, this is the best book I've
read in years." --GeekDad.com
"Kirk has captured the essence of life in medieval Japan.... He has used impeccable
research to provide a story rich in historical detail.... Vividly portrayed." --Historical Novel

Battling the Gods
Atheism in the Ancient World
Tim Whitmarsh
An impassioned and learned account of atheism's origins in antiquity.
Long before the Enlightenment sowed the seeds of disbelief in a deeply
Christian Europe, atheism was a matter of serious public debate in the Greek
world. But history is written by those who prevail, and the Age of Faith mostly
suppressed the lively free-thinking voices of antiquity. Whitmarsh brings to life
the fascinating musings of Diagoras of Melos; Democritus, the first materialist;
and especially Epicurus and his followers. Whitmarsh also shows how the early
Christians both were called atheists (for rejecting the pagan gods) and came to use
the rhetoric oppressing atheism to spread their own faith. Battling the Gods
reveals how atheism and doubt, far from being modern phenomena, have
intrigued the human imagination for millennia.
TOPICALITY: For readers of authors such as Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens. Atheism
is gathering force as an outlook but it still lacks a pedigree of the sort that scripture
provides believers. Here is an exciting account of the genesis of free-thinking.
AUTHOR: Whitmarsh is not just a superb scholar (he was recently poached by Cambridge
from Oxford to occupy a prestigious new chair), but is deeply passionate about atheism's
value, writing with great urgency and sensitivity.

"In the face of many crude modern discussions of atheism (both pro and anti), it's great to
have Tim Whitmarsh's sophisticated exploration of various versions of ancient disbelief. It
brilliantly opens up all kinds of issues, from the roots of religious conflict and the alliance of
religion and politics to (some) virtues of old-fashioned polytheism." --Mary Beard, author of
Confronting the Classics: Traditions, Adventures, and Innovations
"Excellent. . . . Whitmarsh argues convincingly that . . . [atheism] isn't a product of the
modern age but rather reaches back to early Western intellectual tradition in the ancient
Greek world. . . . The best part of Battling the Gods is the Greek chorus of atheists
themselves. . . . If you've been paying attention to contemporary atheists you might be
startled by the familiarity of the ancient positions." --Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, The New
Author Residence: Cambridge, UK
TIM WHITMARSH is currently the AG Leventis Professor of Greek Culture at the University of
Cambridge. He has published widely on ancient prose fiction, including Narrative and
Identity in the Ancient Greek Novel: Returning Romance, and edited The Cambridge

The Improbability of Love
A Novel
Hannah Rothschild
A smart, satirical caper of a novel that follows a brokenhearted but resourceful
young woman, a famous lost painting, and the legacy of Nazi art thieves, all set in
the London art world.
Annie McDee, thirty-one and recovering from the end of a long-term
relationship, works as a chef for two sinister art dealers. She's just spent her
meager savings on a dusty junk-shop painting for her new (and unsuitable)
boyfriend. But when he doesn't show up for his birthday dinner, it becomes hers.
And amazingly, the painting speaks--though only we, the readers, hear "him."
Shrewd, spoiled, charming, world-weary, and cynical, he comments, from his
unique perspective, on Annie and the modern world, but he also recounts tales of
his previous owners: Louis XV, Voltaire, and Catherine the Great, among them.
Once it becomes known that Annie has the painting--whose provenance involves
the Nazis--she finds herself at the center of a frantic scramble among dealers,
collectors, and other highly interested parties for its ownership. Here is a
dazzlingly irreverent and entertaining many-layered tale of a devious world where,
however improbably, love will triumph.

Notwithstanding
Louis de Bernieres
Comic, wistfully nostalgic stories about English village life, from the beloved,
bestselling author of Corelli's Mandolin. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL.
Welcome to the village of Notwithstanding, where a retired general gives up
wearing clothes altogether, a spiritualist lives in a cottage with the ghost of her
husband, and people think it quite natural to confide in a spider that lives in a
potting shed. Based on de Bernières's recollections of the village where he grew
up, Notwithstanding is a funny, astute, and moving depiction of a charming
vanished England.

BESTSELLING HOUSE AUTHOR: De Bernières' backlist is available in paperback and eBook
from Vintage. Corelli's Mandolin was a nationwide bestseller and a hit film, selling nearly
700,000 copies to date across all formats.
FIRST U.S. PUBLICATION: Previously published by Harvill Secker in the UK, Notwithstanding
has never before been officially available in the U.S. It is an essential book for de Bernières
fans, expats, and Anglophiles.
THE DUST THAT FALLS FROM DREAMS: De Bernières' new novel--his first in seven
years--is forthcoming in paperback with Vintage in July. A sweeping historical epic
spanning the golden years of the Edwardian era through the horrors of the First World War,
the Financial Times declared it "genuinely thrilling." Touched by the same nostalgia for an
England now gone, Notwithstanding will follow just a few months later.
REVIEWS: Notwithstanding has received glowing reviews from the British press. The Mail on
Sunday called it "deliciously evocative of a world we have lost," and The Guardian raved
that "the experience of reading this collection is rather like being wrapped in a tartan
blanket and handed a nice mug of cocoa."
OLDE ENGLAND: Based loosely on the village where de Bernières grew up, Notwithstanding
is a nostalgic reminiscence on the world of yesteryear (the stories span 1965 to 1980 but
feel timeless), or what de Bernières calls "stories of a vanished England."
READING GROUPS AND BOOK CLUBS: Lovers of Maeve Binchy's work will flock to this for a
warm and inviting book club discussion.
Praise from the UK for Notwithstanding:
"Comic, benignly forgiving and shot through with threads of nostalgic regret." --The
Independent
"The experience of reading this collection is rather like being wrapped in a tartan blanket
and handed a nice mug of cocoa." --The Guardian
"A timely examination of the charming and, at time, heart-wrenchingly sad aspects of
English village life." --Financial Times
"The creator of Captain Corelli is fond of an exotic setting and he has found one in his own
backyard.... The stories are sketches of lives that settle into the atmosphere of a place and
make it unique." --The Times (London)
"Delightful.... The relationship between the village's characters and the land is such that
one can only feel both warmhearted and regretful that this time ... is no more." --Daily Mail
"Each story touchingly relays a real sense of community spirit." --The Sunday Telegraph
"Deliciously evocative of a world we have lost." --The Mail on Sunday
"Meticulously done.... Genuinely poignant and funny." --The Spectator
"De Bernières's characters jolly themselves on through, but it is his insights in the realities
of the lives, delivered with kindness and poignancy, which makes them more than
caricatures." --Scotland on Sunday
"De Bernières casts a loving eye on the world we have lost and invites you to share its
intimacies." --The Scotsman

From the author of the bestselling Your Baby & Child: practical, comprehensively
researched information on how to do what is best for your child when going through
separation or divorce.
Using the latest scientific research in child development, Penelope Leach covers
the various effects of divorce on children in five stages of life (infants,
toddlers/preschoolers, primary school children, teenagers, college
students/young adults), many of whom are far more deeply affected than
previously thought. She explains recent studies that overturn common
assumptions, and that show, for example, that many standard custody
arrangements for very young children are harmful to attachment and brain
development. Leach's advice is meticulously considered and exhaustive, covering
everything from access, custody, and financial and legal considerations to
managing separate sets of technology in two houses, and she includes the voices
of both parents and children to illustrate her points. She explains why "mutual
parenting" is the ideal way to co-parent after a divorce, and offers ways to carry
this out. And throughout, she makes clear that both parents must put their
relationship to their children and responsiveness to their needs ahead of their
feelings about each other.
AUTHORITATIVE: As always, Leach's advice for each stage of childhood is child-centered,
opinionated, and fearlessly provocative in the interests of children, with just the right
balance of toughness and warmth.
LARGE MARKET: Fewer than half of today's children will celebrate their sixteenth birthday
with their parents still together. This book is for separating mothers and fathers, for their
extended families and prospective new partners, and for the professionals who support
and advise them.
PREVIOUS SALES TRACK: Your Baby & Child has sold more than 1.25 million; Babyhood
175,000 copies.
REPUTATION OF AUTHOR: T. Berry Brazelton has called Leach "one of the world's leading
nurturers of parents," and The New York Times Book Review called her "pre-eminently the
thinking parent's guide."
"Wide-ranging, incisive, and candid . . . Lots of sound practical advice . . . Leach has made
a compelling case [for] mutual (but not necessarily equal) parenting." -- Psychology Today
"Important. . . . Leach strikes the right balance between a hard-nosed examination of the
data and a compassionate, let's-make-this-work pragmatism." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Leach encourages couples considering divorce to employ a 'child-centeredness' approach
and consider each child as an individual. Her advice addresses a wide array of topics."
--Publishers Weekly

American Housewife
Helen Ellis
A sharp, funny, and delightfully unhinged collection of stories set in the dark world
of domesticity.
Meet the women of American Housewife. They wear lipstick, pearls, and
sunscreen, even when it's cloudy. They casserole. They pinwheel. They pump the
salad spinner like it's a CPR dummy. And then they kill a party crasher, carefully
stepping around the body to pull cookies out of the oven. These twelve irresistible
stories take us from a haunted prewar Manhattan apartment building to the set of
a rigged reality television show, from the unique initiation ritual of a book club to
the getaway car of a pageant princess on the lam, from the gallery opening of a
tinfoil artist to the fitting room of a legendary lingerie shop. Vicious, fresh, and
nutty as a poisoned Goo Goo Cluster, American Housewife is an uproarious,
pointed commentary on womanhood.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER: American Housewife debuted on the New York Times extended
bestseller list and was an ABA Indiebound bestseller.
PRAISE: Margaret Atwood's comment about American Housewife being "ferocious" and
"cackle-making" was just the beginning. The praise for Ellis's collection has been fast and
furious across the board, with blurbs from People, The New York Times, NPR, The
Washington Post, and Vogue, just to name a few.
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: American Housewife brings plenty of sharp social
commentary to the discussion table ... not to mention the scary book club included here
will make you really appreciate your own reading group.
REGIONAL INTEREST: Helen Ellis was born and raised in Alabama, which explains the nods
to the southern gothic tradition and the "feminism with teeth and a southern drawl"
(Hannah Tinti).
"[American Housewife] captures--and warmly lampoons--the scattered nature of modern
life. The tales are also catchy, smart and very, very funny.... But as comical as they
are--and they are very--these women also have a sly depth." --The Washington Post
"Focuses a dark and humorous lens on the domestic.... Addictive and full of pitch-perfect
observations." --J. Courtney Sullivan, The New York Times Book Review
"Ellis's 12 short stories about women under pressure are archly, acerbically, even surreally
hilarious. By extracting elements from the southern gothic tradition, Shirley Jackson, and
Margaret Atwood, Ellis has forged her own molten, mind-twisting storytelling mode."
- -B ooklist (starred review)
"If anyone can make the Real Housewives look dull, it's the women in this collection of
darkly hilarious stories." --Cosmopolitan
"A raucous, whip-smart collection of stories featuring retro-feminist ladies who lunch,
launch madcap getaway schemes, and whack their naughty doormen with kitchen stools."
- -Elle
"Delicious. . . . Ellis paints a retro-feminist portrait of the modern-day housewife. . . . They
are stylish, assertive, graceful and deranged." -- The Daily News
"I finished American Housewife three days ago, and I'm still in withdrawal. I want to throw
a cocktail party for Helen Ellis's beautiful, demented, touching heroines. I'd ply them with
gin and Jell-O salad, admire their brooches, and force them to give up their deepest
secrets. In other words, I wish I could read this exhilarating book all over again." --Eliza
Kennedy, author of I Take You

This Old Man
All in Pieces
Roger Angell
From the acclaimed New Yorker writer and editor, a compendium of writings that
celebrate the view from the tenth decade of his richly lived life.
In February of 2014, The New Yorker published an essay by Roger Angell called
"This Old Man," a meditation on life at age 93. With great humor and not an ounce
of self-pity or sentimentality, Angell wrote about health, mind, and memory,
reckoning with the past and a long list of friends and family who have died, daily
joys and struggles, and above all love. Around that essay, Angell has gathered
letters, photos, comic verse, and drawings which in aggregate present a
kaleidoscopic portrayal of a deeply engaged and vibrant life. Whether the subject
is coping with the loss of his wife, Carol, editing John Updike, the seventh game of
the 2014 World Series, his appreciation of fox terriers, or the 4th of July
ceremonies in his summer home in rural Maine, what links the pieces (most of
recent vintage) is the deep sense of gratitude which suffuses them. A love letter to
his fans and to a life well-lived , This Old Man is suffused with wit and wisdom.

ALL STAR CAST: Angell was the Fiction Editor at The New Yorker for decades, editing
Updike and Barthelme and Munro and countless others, and his reminiscences of working
with these masters will appeal to their fans.
"Mr. Angell -- like Updike and White -- is a 'prime noticer': a sharp-eyed collector of
details, gathered over the course of nearly ten decades, and dispensed here, with artistry
and élan, in these jottings from a long and writerly life.The title piece of this collection is a
spry but elegiac mediation on age and loss and the pileup of memories, and this entire
volume has a faintly valedictory air to it." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"[L]ucid, humane, and insightful.... Perhaps most surprising is the suppleness and range of
his writing.... [Angell] moves with agility between humor, pathos, and playful metaphor,
often within the same essay." --The Christian Science Monitor

The Washingtons
George and Martha: Partners in Friendship and Love
Flora Fraser
In these pages, historian Flora Fraser brilliantly unfurls the story of George and
Martha--not only the narrative of George's revolutionary leadership, but also
Martha's essential role in shaping, inspiring, and supporting the man who would
become our first president.
George and Martha were married in colonial Virginia in 1759--he an awkward
but ambitious young officer, she a very rich young widow. Washington had been
prominent among Virginians in opposing British government measures, and at the
outbreak of fighting in 1775 he was elected commander-in-chief of the
Continental army. Martha resolutely supported her husband. Essential to George's
personal well-being, she was a redoubtable and vastly admired figure in her own
right. With victory and the arrival of peace in 1783, the Washingtons hoped to
remain at home, a hope dashed when, in 1789, George was unanimously elected
our first president and Martha became a faultless first First Lady. During the
presidency, they together established the tenets and traditions of our highest
office. This is a remarkable story of a remarkable pair--and a gripping narrative of
our nation's emergence onto the world stage.

From the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, a brilliant new biography of
General George Armstrong Custer that radically changes our view of the man and
his turbulent times.
In this magisterial biography, T. J. Stiles paints a portrait of Custer both deeply
personal and sweeping in scope, proving how much of Custer's legacy has been
ignored. He demolishes Custer's historical caricature, revealing a capable yet
insecure man, intelligent yet bigoted, passionate yet self-destructive, a romantic
individualist at odds with the institution of the military (court-martialed twice in
six years) and the new corporate economy, a wartime emancipator who rejected
racial equality. Stiles argues that, although Custer was justly noted for his exploits
on the western frontier, he also played a central role as both a wide-ranging
participant and polarizing public figure in his extraordinary, transformational
time--a time of civil war, emancipation, brutality toward Native Americans, and,
finally, the Industrial Revolution--even as he became one of its casualties.
Intimate, dramatic, and provocative, this biography captures the larger story of the
changing nation in Custer's tumultuous marriage to his highly educated wife,
Libbie, their complicated relationship with Eliza Brown, the forceful black woman
who ran their household, as well as his battles and expeditions. It casts surprising
new light on one of the best-known figures of American history, a subject of
seemingly endless fascination.
AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: The First Tycoon won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for biography
and the 2009 nonfiction National Book Award. Custer's Trials has been shortlisted for the
2016 Mark Lynton History Prize.
NEW DISCOVERIES: Making use of newly available letters and little-examined archival
material, Stiles breaks new ground on such subjects as Custer's politics, his evolving
racism, his troubled relationship with the army command, and his work as a writer.
MORE THAN A BIOGRAPHY: Race and gender roles are important themes in both Custer's
public and private life. Unlike most biographers who focus on Custer's wars against Native
Americans, Stiles sees them in the context of the struggle for African American freedom
and equality, powerfully arguing that race mattered as much as the frontier in his life;
likewise, Stiles chronicles the tempestuous power dynamics between Custer, his wife,
Libbie, and Eliza Brown, the escaped slave who ran their kitchen, a dimension of his life
ignored by many biographers.
THE DEFINITIVE LIFE OF A LEGEND: Custer is an evergreen book subject, but accounts of
him are largely focused on his frontier and war experience, or, more narrowly still, his
defeat at Little Bighorn. Stiles considers the full scope of Custer's life and legacy. It should
become the standard bio for this generation.
BEST OF THE YEAR: Selected by Chicago Tribune; Minneapolis Star Tribune; St. Louis
Post-Dispatch; and BookPage and was a finalist for the NBCC Award for Biography.
Praise for Custer's Trials
"In this deft portrait, Stiles restores Custer as a three-dimensional figure. . . . [Stiles's]
prodigious knowledge of 19th-century institutions is on display throughout Custer's
Trials. He is able to situate Custer in the shifting culture of the Civil War and its aftermath
in a way no other biography has achieved. . . . Stiles's Custer is life-size." --The
Washington Post
"A nuanced, complex and convincing portrait of the man." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Rousing. . . . An immersive, emphatic, bloody and very assured book." --Newsday

The Road to Little Dribbling
Adventures of an American in Britain
Bill Bryson
The hilarious and loving sequel to Bryson's travel-writing classic, Notes from a
Small Island--the author's valentine to his adopted country of England.
In 1995, beloved writer Bill Bryson got into his car and took a weeks-long
motoring trip about England. The book that came out of that journey, Notes from
a Small Island, is uproarious and endlessly endearing, one of the most acute
portrayals of the United Kingdom ever written. Two decades later--now a British
citizen--he set out again to rediscover that country. The hilarious result is The
Road to Little Dribbling. In these pages, Bryson follows the longest straight line
that is possible on the island--from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath--and shows us,
as only he can, every pub, tiny town, castle, and foible along the way.

"Wonderfully engaging.... Bryson is a keen observer of what's amusing, ironic and absurd."
- -USA Today
"Very nearly ideal. ...Bryson's capacity for wonder at the beauty of his adopted homeland
seems to have only grown with time." --The Washington Post
"Bryson juggles his travelogue, dipping in and out of ridiculousness, social commentary,
history, trivia, and gleefully grumpy pronouncements.... Here's hoping Bryson remains
cranky and curious for many years to come." --T he Christian Science Monitor
"Despite all this cantankerousness, his strange encounters and scathing put-downs are
genuinely hilarious.... And when he sees beauty and wonder in the world, he is rhapsodic."
- -M inneapolis Star Tribune
"The history of a love affair, the very special relationship between Bryson and Britain. We
remain lucky to have him." --Financial Times
"Fans should expect to chuckle, snort, snigger, grunt, laugh out loud and shake with
recognition...a clotted cream and homemade jam scone of a treat." -- The Sunday Times
"Is it the funniest travel book I've read all year? Of course it is." --Daily Telegraph
"Bryson has no equal.... A gloriously funny read." --Daily Express

Sinatra
The Chairman
James Kaplan
At last, the concluding installment of James Kaplan's definitive biography of the
great Frank Sinatra.
The much-anticipated second volume of James Kaplan's New York Times
bestselling biography of Frank Sinatra, Sinatra: The Chairman picks up with Ol'
Blue Eyes on top of the world, riding high after winning an Oscar for his
performance in From Here to Eternity--and firmly reestablished as the top
recording artist of his day. Following Sinatra from the mid-1950s to his death, in
1998, the book reveals the man behind the myth, giving us Sinatra as a peerless
singer, a (sometimes) powerful actor, a business mogul, a tireless lover, and--of
course--a close associate of the rich, the famous, and the infamous. It was in
these years that the enduring legacy of Frank Sinatra was forged, and in these
pages Kaplan captures Frank at his height--between recording albums and
singles, he often shot four or five movies a year; did TV show and nightclub
appearances; started his own label, Reprise; and juggled his considerable
commercial ventures (movie production, the restaurant business, even prizefighter
management) alongside his famous and sometimes notorious social activities and
commitments. The truly comprehensive story of "The Entertainer of the Century,"
Sinatra is the biography Frank's fans have been waiting for.

THE VOICE: The first volume of Kaplan's biography, Frank: The Voice, was a New York
Times bestseller, one of Michiko Kakutani's top 10 books of the year, and went on to sell
90k copies. The Chairman picks up where the last book left off, taking readers through
Sinatra's most important years.
BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, LA Times, and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
all called Sinatra one of the best books of 2015, and The Guardian named it one of the
best Music Books of the Year.
PRAISE: The book has received overwhelming review coverage. USA Today says it's
"definitive, and irresistibly engrossing," and The Boston Globe calls it "a riveting read."
SINATRA: From the Rat Pack to Mia Farrow, and Hollywood to Las Vegas, Frank Sinatra
shaped the twentieth century like no one else. With his centenary in 2015, interest in
Sinatra's life and music has never been higher. While this enthusiasm is sure to continue
through 2016, Kaplan's two-volume biography is set to become the definitive book on the
subject for years to come.
AUTHOR: In addition to penning the first volume of Sinatra's biography, James Kaplan is
also the coauthor of Jerry Lewis's Dean and Me, the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship,
and a celebrated novelist and critic in his own right. In Sinatra, Kaplan continues the story
of Frank Sinatra in characteristically rich, distinctive, and compulsively readable prose.
"Kaplan helps us understand the evolution of Sinatra's voice over the years, his
perfectionism and commitment to his craft, and his matchless ability to interpret songs
and to turn them into stories animated by his own deepest emotions." -- The New York
Times Book Review
"Definitive, and irresistibly engrossing.... Piercingly perceptive about Sinatra's turbulent
personal relations with both men and women, but especially with troubled and brilliantly
talented men." --USA Today
"A riveting read--a juicy, painstakingly researched, excitingly written examination of a
brilliant musician, an uneven and temperamental actor, and a charming, erratic, deeply
flawed man." --The Boston Globe
"Meticulously researched.... Kaplan draws from previous biographies and the memoirs of
Sinatra's lovers and fellow travellers, but the pithy narrative is his own, as are his
persuasive critiques of the music." --T he Guardian
"Hugely readable, vastly entertaining, a page-turner." --Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker

The Circle (MTI)
Dave Eggers
A New York Times bestseller and Notable Book of 2013, and one of the most
highly-acclaimed books of the year, The Circle is the wild, terrifying story of a
young tech employee's descent into a digital apocalypse that bears close
resemblance to our own present--a prescient and far-seeing warning from one of the
most important writers of our time.
Soon to be a major motion picture directed by James Ponsoldt and starring
Tom Hanks, Emma Watson, Bill Paxton, and John Boyega. When Mae Holland is
hired to work for the Circle, the world's most powerful internet company, she feels
she's been given the opportunity of a lifetime--even as life beyond the campus
grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken,
even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the
captivating story of one woman's ambition and idealism soon becomes a
heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy,
democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

RAVE REVIEWS: Critics have embraced The Circle's heart-pounding story and riveting

TIMELY SUBJECT: An integral part of an ongoing international conversation about privacy
and technology, hailed as a "parable for the 21st century" (Vanity Fair).
NEW TERRITORY: This is Eggers's first book with a female protagonist. Half thriller and half
intellectual admonition, this is Eggers at his funniest, his most page-turning.
"A vivid, roaring dissent to the companies that have coaxed us to disgorge every thought
and action onto the Web . . . Carries the potential to change how the world views its
addicted, compliant thrall to all things digital. If you work in Silicon Valley, or just care
about what goes on there, you need to pay attention." --Dennis K. Berman, The Wall Street
Journal
"Fascinating . . . Eggers appears to run on pure adrenaline, and has as many ideas pouring
out of him as the entrepreneurs pitching their inventions in The Circle . . . The Circlers'
social etiquette is as finely calibrated as anything in Jane Austen . . . the language ripples
and morphs . . . It's an entertainment, but a challenging one." --Margaret Atwood, The
New York Review of Books

The Guest Room
Chris Bohjalian
From the New York Times bestselling author of Midwives and The Light in the Ruins
comes the spellbinding tale of a party gone horribly wrong: two men lie dead in a
suburban living room, two women are on the run from police, and a marriage is
ripping apart at the seams.
When Kristin Chapman agrees to let her husband, Richard, host his brother's
bachelor party, she expects a certain amount of debauchery. She brings their
young daughter to Manhattan for the evening, leaving her Westchester home to
the men and their hired entertainment. What she does not expect is this: the
entertainment stabbing and killing their Russian bodyguards before driving off
into the night. In the aftermath, Kristin and Richard's life rapidly spirals into
nightmare. The police throw them out of their home, now a crime scene; Richard's
investment banking firm puts him on indefinite leave; and Kristin is unsure if she
can forgive her husband for the moment he shared with a dark-haired girl in the
guest room. But the dark-haired girl, Alexandra, faces a much graver danger ...

READING GROUP POTENTIAL: Chris Bohjalian's books are a favorite with bookclubs, both

HOUSE AUTHOR: Chris's next book is tentatively due in summer of 2017.
Bohjalian is at his best in The Guest Room, one of his most compelling books so far,
combining an explosive premise, a timely social topic, and fast-paced storytelling with a
purpose." --The Miami Herald
"The Guest Room pulses quick as a page-turner, but its concerns run deep into the moral
consequences following an eruption of violence in ordinary lives." --Charles Frazier,
National Book Award-winning author of Cold Mountain
"The Guest Room has an edge-of-the-seat momentum that propels the reader straight to
the last page... For those who value the well-researched novel, the author's 18th book will
please... Promises to enlighten and entertain." --Anita Shreve, The Washington Post
"Bohjalian's deftness as a story teller is on full display here, as he couples the urgency of a
compulsively readable crime thriller with a quiet meditation on the meaning of family and
relationships; the painstaking, quotidian, essential business of how we win love, and how
swiftly we can lose it." --Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize winning author of March
"Reads like a thriller.... Does a terrific job of exploring the very dark side of trafficking and
the women who are preyed on.... Lots to discuss, and book clubs should take note."

Story of a Sociopath
A novel
Julia Navarro
An illustrious sociopath recounts a lifetime of depravity in internationally bestselling
author Julia Navarro's provocative, playful take on the most timeless and ruthless
game of all: the game of power.
I'm scum. Yes, I always have been. . . . I know what I did, and what I should
have done.
Thomas Spencer is a man who knows how to get what he wants, though his
poor health and aging looks are the price he's had to pay. He wears these features
proudly, like scars from the battles that propelled him to the top in his glamorous
career as a publicist and media maven. But lately, after several cardiac episodes, he
senses that his time in the sun is dwindling. In the solitude of his luxurious
Brooklyn apartment, he begins to look back on the convoluted trajectory his life
has taken. What follows is a spellbinding psychological narrative that takes us
through the world of international media and politics from the 1990s to the
present, brilliantly probing the workings of a complex, destructive personality
whose greatest satisfaction is to shatter the happiness of others. As shameless as
it is electrifying, Story of a Scoundrel illuminates the true nature of power through
the mind of a master psychological manipulator.

Hour of the Wolf
An Inspector Van Veeteren Mystery
Håkan Nesser
The latest police procedural novel in the Inspector Van Veeteren series, from
acclaimed Swedish crime-writer Hakan Nesser, told with his trademark eye for detail,
breakneck plotting, and gut-wrenching moral tension.
A drunk driver strikes and kills a pedestrian with his car, leaving the body on
the side of the road on a damp, dark night; he is able to happily forget the
incident, until a blackmail note arrives. Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Reinhart of the
Maardam police force puts his team to the hard work of struggling to decipher the
few clues. When the victim of a second, possibly related, killing is identified, and
the killer seems to become increasingly unhinged and unpredictable, the Maardam
force must call up one of its old-timers. Former chief inspector Van Veeteren is
called upon to face his greatest trial yet, forced to come out of retirement and
re-enter a world he had gladly left behind, to avenge the death of someone close
to him.

ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Hakan Nesser has won the European Crime Fiction Star Award, three
Swedish Crime Writers' Academy prizes for best crime novel, and the Glass Key Award.
SERIES: Hour of the Wolf is the seventh in the Inspector Van Veeteren series, which is set
in a fictionalized Scandinavian country (not quite Sweden, not quite Denmark). The series
is published in more than twenty-five countries and has sold more than ten million copies
worldwide.
FOR FANS OF: The international-hit police TV series The Fall, The Killing, and
Broadchurch; novels by the heavyweights of Nordic crime writing: Henning Mankell, Jo
Nesbo, and Arne Dahl.
"A first-class police procedural.... The story alternates among the detectives, the retired
chief inspector, and the killer, a skillfully handled kaleidoscope." --International Noir
Fiction
"A superb example of a classic crime novel, no doubt aided significantly by Laurie
Thompson's typically excellent, understated translation.... Similar in style and impact to
the marvellous Martin Beck novels by Sjowall and Wahloo." -- Eurocrime
"Intelligent and appealing... Hour of the Wolf was first published in Swedish in 1999, and
it's taken far too long to reach our shores.... Like all the Van Veeteren novels, it was worth
the wait." --Bookpage
"Magnificent.... Like Kate Atkinson, Nesser draws believable lines between crimes in this
series' sixth tale, linking them with a trail of psychological crumbs and adding a bit of
heart to the series' moody atmosphere and cerebral thrills." -- Booklist
"No frills, no subplots, no unnecessary moving parts: an autumnal procedural that
illustrates what superior results you can get by stripping away the extras." -- Kirkus

The Mayor of Casterbridge
Thomas Hardy
One of Hardy's greatest works, now in a beautiful Vintage Classics package--the
story of the dramatic rise and fall of a brooding and brutal man.
When Michael Henchard, a young laborer who gets drunk at a fair, impulsively
auctions off his wife and baby daughter to a passing sailor, he creates a dark
secret that will come back to dog him years later, when he has risen to become a
successful and respected merchant and mayor of the city of Casterbridge. Thomas
Hardy's almost supernatural insight into the course of wayward lives, his
instinctive feeling for the beauty of the rural landscape, and his power to invest
that landscape with moral significance all come together in an utterly fluent way. A
classically shaped tragedy, The Mayor of Casterbridge is an emblematic product of
Hardy's maturity: vigorous, forceful, and unclouded by illusions.
CLASSIC AUTHOR: Often shocking to his fellow Victorians, Hardy's novels were much
admired by writers of the next generation, including Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence,
and have remained classics ever since.
HARDY IN VINTAGE: This title will join our editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Far
from the Madding Crowd, published in 2015.
EYE-CATCHING PACKAGE: This title will join our Vintage Classics line, with their striking
jacket designs.

El secreto de las zonas azules
Come y vive como la gente más saludable del planeta
Dan Buettner
The Blue Zones describes easy to adopt lifestyle habits that contribute to a long and
fulfilling life.
[English-language edition: The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the
People Who've Lived the Longest -- National Geographic Books; TR 04/2009; 2nd
edition TR 11/2012]
Longevity expert and National Geographic explorer Dan Buettner draws on his
research from extraordinarily long-lived communities--Blue Zones --around the
globe to highlight the lifestyle, diet, outlook, and stress-coping practices that will
add years to your life and life to your years. Blue Zones are geographic regions
where high percentages of centenarians are enjoying remarkably long, full lives. So
what's the formula for success? The recipe for longevity, Buettner has found, is
deeply intertwined with community, lifestyle, and spirituality. You won't find
longevity in a bottle of diet pills or with hormone therapy. You'll find it by
embracing a few simple but powerful habits, and by creating the right community
around yourself. El secreto de las zonas azules blends Buettner's lifestyle formula
with the latest longevity research to inspire lasting behavioral change.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a deeply personal reflection on how books
are jacketed--and what book jackets mean to both readers and writers.
How do we judge a book cover? Are book covers like the clothing that we
choose to wear; and what do they say about us? And what is it like to have your
clothing selected for you? These are the questions at the heart of this thoughtful
meditation on the art of the book jacket, from acclaimed, best-selling author
Jhumpa Lahiri. Exploring her relationship with covers--both as a writer and as a
reader--Lahiri probes the complex relationship between text and image, author
and designer, and art and commerce. From her lasting affection for the specific
editions of classic works she read in college to the shock of seeing one of her own
jackets unfaithfully adorning a different book, Lahiri analyzes what jackets mean
to her, what happens when they don't seem right, and how, sometimes, "the
covers become a part of me, and I identify with them."
AUTHOR: Lahiri is a Pulitzer-prize-winning author whose honors range from a National
Humanities Medal to a James Beard Award. She has been nominated for the Man Booker
Prize and a National Book Award.
FANS: We have sold over 850k copies of Lahiri's books across all formats, and her
Facebook page--managed by Knopf--has more than 140k likes. She is a critical darling
("One of the most intellectually elegant novelists in the world." -- The Washington Post) as
well as a bestselling author, and her fans will be thrilled to read her insights into the
reading and publishing experience.
BACKLIST: Lahiri's previous two books with KDPG, In Other Words and The Lowland, were
both New York Times best-sellers. They, along with Unaccustomed Earth, are available in
paperback and eBook from Vintage.
PERFECT GIFT: The beautifully designed print edition will make a great present, similar to
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's We Should All Be Feminists. The small trim size and
attractive package (including flaps) make it perfect for giving.
A BOOK FOR BOOK LOVERS: The Clothing of Books is essential reading for any bibliophile.
Lahiri writes beautifully about the book as an object, and the relationship between text
and imagery.
IN OTHER WORDS: Lahiri's most recent book, a reflection on her experiences
learning--and writing in--a new language, has received glowing praise. The publication of
The Clothing of Books is being timed to lead into the paperback publication.
Praise for Jhumpa Lahiri:
"One of the most intellectually elegant novelists in the world." --The Washington Post
"A considerable talent." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Lahiri is a genius of the miniature stroke and the great arc." --Chicago Tribune
"An American master." --Philadelphia Inquirer
"An elegant stylist, effortlessly placing the perfect words in the perfect order time and
again so we're transported seamlessly into another place." --Vanity Fair
"Lahiri is a master of language." --Time

Gender Outlaw
On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us
Kate Bornstein
Kate Bornstein's memoir-cum-manifesto Gender Outlaw--a perennially strong
backlist title since 1995--is now available in a revised edition with a new preface by
the author and an updated package.
Trans performance artist, playwright, and activist Kate Bornstein guides readers
on a funny, insightful, and wonderfully scenic journey across the frontiers of
gender and identity. With her signature humor, honesty, and outrageous flair,
Bornstein's coming-of-age and transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian
woman, as well as a fascinating and deeply provocative investigation into our
notions of gender, the myths attached to "male" and "female", and the penalties
that befall not only those who transgress the definitions but anyone who blindly
conforms to them. Whether she is describing the nuts and bolts of her sex-change
surgery or outing the hidden gender messages in popular culture, Bornstein
pushes us gently but profoundly to the farther borders of the gender frontier.

The Life of Saul Bellow
To Fame and Fortune, 1915-1964
Zachary Leader
The most comprehensive account ever of the most decorated writer in American
history--winner of the Nobel, the Pulitzer, and three National Book Awards--who was
also a public intellectual engaged with the pressing issues of his time.
Based on previously unavailable archival material and access to close relations
(though by no means an authorized biography), Zachary Leader's Life of Saul
Bellow is extraordinary for the diligence of its scholarship, the unsparingness of its
scope, and the engaging clarity of its prose. This first volume traces Bellow's rise
to literary eminence--from the roots of his family in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to
his birth and childhood in Quebec, to his years in Chicago and at the University of
Chicago, to right before the breakout commercial success of his novel Herzog in
1964. But it is equally fascinating on Bellow's life away from the desk, which was
rich with incident. In the mornings he wrote; in the afternoons, he went out and
got into trouble. Often this trouble involved women--spirited, intelligent, beautiful
women. And more: throughout we are given fresh and fulsome readings of
Bellow's work.

ACCESS: The author had unprecedented access to unpublished Bellow material.
RICH SUBJECT: In addition to being an iconic man of letters, Bellow often found himself
deeply embroiled in intellectual skirmishes and altercations regarding race, religion,
foreign affairs, education, social policy, the state of the culture, the fate of the novel.
AUTHOR: Leader is author of the highly praised The Life of Kingsley Amis (Pantheon,
4/2007), a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in Biography.
"It is certain that I will not be alone in the expectation that The Life of Saul Bellow will
prove definitive. Leader is respectful but unintimidated, balanced but never anodyne, and
his literary criticism, like his prose, is unfailingly stylish and acute. The book is very
learned. " --Martin Amis, Vanity Fair
"Leader is statesmanlike, fair-minded. . . . He is particularly felicitous in his descriptions of
Bellow's parents and their struggles." --The Atlantic
"The story of Bellow's progress . . . to the sunstruck pinnacle of American fiction is one of
the most potent in our literary history. . . . Leader is a dogged researcher, and he has
unearthed valuable new material." --The New York Times Book Review
ZACHARY LEADER is Professor of English Literature at Roehampton University in Great Britain,

Poems
William Blake
Patti Smith's personal selection of poems by the visionary Romantic poet and artist,
with a moving introduction in which she calls him "the spiritual ancestor" of
generations of poets and invites us to "walk with him." VINTAGE CLASSICS.
William Blake is one of England's most fascinating writers, who, as well as
being a groundbreaking poet, was also a painter, engraver, radical, and mystic.
Although Blake was dismissed as an eccentric by his contemporaries, his powerful
and richly symbolic poetry has been a fertile source of inspiration to the many
writers and artists who have followed in his footsteps. In this collection Patti Smith
has collected together her personal favorites of Blake's poems, including the
complete poems from the famous Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, to
give a singular picture of this unique genius.
ON SALE 11/15/2016
FIRST U.S. EDITION: First published in 2007 by Vintage UK, this edition has not been

PATTI SMITH INTRODUCTION: Smith relates how she was first introduced to Blake by her
mother and has returned to him again and again through her life, drawn by his call "to
animate the creative spirit within us." The wave of acclaim for Smith's recent memoir, M
Train, should inspire interest in Blake as one of the sources of her inspiration.
ILLUSTRATIONS: Includes many of Blake's mystical drawings.
PERENNIAL SELLER: Blake never goes out of fashion. The many editions of Blake's poems
currently in print include an Everyman's Pocket Poet (34,000 net) and an Anchor
paperback (69,000).

to an engraver before he joined the Royal Academy. He began publishing poetry in 1783; his

The Warburgs
The Twentieth-Century Odyssey of a Remarkable Jewish Family
Ron Chernow
Our reissue of Ron Chernow's definitive biography of the Warburgs, one of the great
German-Jewish banking families of the twentieth century.
Bankers, philanthropists, scholars, socialites, artists, and politicians, the
Warburgs stood at the pinnacle of German (and, later, of German-American) Jewry.
They forged economic dynasties, built mansions and estates, assembled libraries,
endowed charities, and advised a German kaiser and two American presidents. But
their very success made the Warburgs lightning rods for anti-Semitism, and their
sense of patriotism became increasingly dangerous in a Germany that had
declared Jews the enemy. Ron Chernow's hugely fascinating history is a group
portrait of a clan whose members were renowned for their brilliance, culture, and
personal energy yet tragically vulnerable to the dark and irrational currents of the
twentieth century.

Bad News
Last Journalists in a Dictatorship
Anjan Sundaram
The author of the acclaimed Stringer: A Reporter's Journey in the Congo now moves
on to Rwanda for a gripping look at a country caught still in political and social
unrest, years after the genocide that shocked the world.
Bad News is the story of Anjan Sundaram's time running a journalist's training
program out of Kigali, the capital city of one of Africa's most densely populated
countries, Rwanda. President Kagame's regime, which seized power after the
genocide that ravaged its population in 1994, is often held up as a beacon for
progress and modernity in Central Africa and is the recipient of billions of dollars
each year in aid from Western governments and international organizations.
Lurking underneath this shining vision of a modern, orderly state, however, is the
powerful climate of fear springing from the government's brutal treatment of any
voice of dissent. "You can't look and write," a policeman ominously tells Sundaram,
as he takes notes at a political rally. In Rwanda, the testimony of the
individual--the evidence of one's own experience--is crushed by the pensée
unique: the single way of thinking and speaking, proscribed by those in power.

PRAISE: We have a great review from the San Francisco Chronicle: "A searing illustration of
the dangers associated with newsgathering in an authoritarian state, and a paean to those
courageous enough to practice it in such dire circumstances."
AUDIENCE: Reporting from Rwanda has declined since President Kagame took over
following the 1994 genocide, largely because media access is tightly controlled.
Sundaram's Bad News is a rare look at the country since the majority of international
cameras left.
VINTAGE SHORT: Vintage will be publishing Sundaram's affecting account of traveling in
the war-torn Central African Republic as an original eShort on 1/26, which should help
bring extra attention to his longer work.
"Few people have suffered the hideous fate of Rwandans in the modern era. It is shocking,
painful beyond words, to see the darkness settling again in a dystopia that is crushing
free expression and individual lives. This searing, evocative account, focusing on young
journalists struggling to gain the rights they so richly deserve, provides insights about the
human condition that reach far beyond the tragic story of Rwanda." --Noam Chomsky
"Anjan Sundaram is a keen observer and a fine writer. In Bad News, he has rendered a
chilling chronicle of the creeping totalitarianism taking hold in Rwanda that is as
disturbing as it is unforgettable." --Jon Lee Anderson
"A powerful account of a nation 20 years later, still trying to recover from shocking
genocide." --Booklist
"Sundaram's talents show in his creation of an atmosphere of paranoia and dread.... A
chilling account of reporters in danger that heightens awareness of the importance of a
free press." --Kirkus Reviews
Author Residence: New Brunswick, Canada
Anjan Sundaram is the author of Stringer: A Reporter's Journey in the Congo and an
award-winning journalist who has reported from Central Africa and the Middle East for The

Collected Nonfiction, Volume 1
Selections from the Autobiography, Letters, Essays, and Speeches
Mark Twain; Introduction by Adam Hochschild
The first of two new hardcover volumes collecting the major nonfiction writings of
the "father of American literature": more than 150 letters, essays, and speeches
selected to showcase the dazzling range of his interests and passions. An
Everyman's Library Original.
Politics, religion, culture, travel, family life: nothing escaped the eye and pen of
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, the "Lincoln of our
literature." Beloved for his classic fiction, he was equally if not more prolific in
writing nonfiction. Among the vast array of texts included in this first of two
volumes, which span Twain's nearly eighty extraordinary years, are excerpts from
the autobiography he dictated near the end of his life; letters he sent to family,
friends, and colleagues; and essays and speeches. Whether moving between his
childhood home in Missouri and his reporting days out west, navigating the waters
of the Mississippi River and Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, or blazing through Europe
and the Americas, Twain lent his trademark wit, candor, and acerbic sarcasm to all
he experienced. Here are adventures often too outrageous not to be true, tracing
the growth of the legendary writer who came to define a country and an age--and
of the man whose keen awareness of humanity has provided an unmatched blend
of entertainment and moral integrity for generations.

Collected Nonfiction, Volume 2
Selections from the Memoirs and Travel Writings
Mark Twain; Introduction by Richard Russo
The second of two new hardcover volumes collecting the major nonfiction writings
of the "father of American literature," including excerpts from the rollicking, shrewd,
and hilarious autobiographical works, The Innocents Abroad, Roughing It, A Tramp
Abroad, and Life on the Mississippi. An Everyman's Library Original.
Volume 2 of Twain's Collected Nonfiction contains selections from four of
Twain's full-length books documenting his travels across the country and the
world, including original frontispieces. In these texts we follow Twain from his
early days out west as a fledgling reporter to his attempts at fulfilling a lifelong
dream of being a steamboat captain on the Mississippi to his extensive sojourns
abroad, where, along with the American "pilgrims" of the Gilded Age, he toured
historic streets, cathedrals, and caves--viewing with disgust as often as with awe
the relics of humanity's past. And although these events took place, and were
published, at different stages of his life and career, Twain consistently lent his
trademark wit, candor, and acerbic sarcasm to all he experienced. Here are
adventures often too outrageous not to be true, tracing the growth of the writer
who came to define a country and an age--and of the man whose keen awareness
of humanity has provided an unmatched blend of entertainment and moral
integrity for generations.

[English-language edition: Smarter, Faster, Better: The Secrets of Being Productive
in Life and Business -- HC, Random House Group, March 8, 2016]
Productivity, recent studies suggest, isn't always about driving ourselves toward
greater "efficiency." Rather, real productivity relies on managing how we think,
identify goals, construct teams, and make decisions.
This book explores eight concepts that are critical to increasing productivity,
illustrated by compelling case studies. It introduces us to basic training in the U.S.
Marine Corps, where the internal locus of control is exploited to increase
self-motivation, and shows us how the principles of lean manufacturing -- in
which decision-making power is pushed to the lowest levels of the hierarchy -allowed the FBI to finally produce a new software system that had eluded them for
years. It also explores how Disney Animation made Frozen into a record success
by encouraging a certain kind of tension among animation teams - a version of
what biologists refer to as the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, which posits
that nature is most creative when crises occur, but not so many that they wipe
everything out.
With the combination of relentless curiosity, deep reporting, and rich
story-telling that defined The Power of Habit, this book takes readers from
neurology laboratories to World Series poker showdowns to Google's
brainstorming sessions and illustrates how we can all increase productivity in our
lives.
MILLION-COPY TRACK RECORD: Since being published in paperback in 2014, The Power of
Habit has sold more than 300,000 copies and spent more than 52 consecutive weeks on
the New York Times bestseller list. Across all formats, it has sold a million copies in the
U.S., and another million worldwide.
TELEVISION SHOW IN THE WORKS: The Power of Habit is currently being made into a
television series by Morgan Spurlock.
FASCINATING CASE STUDIES: The science of productivity is made easily understandable
and applicable through real stories from the U.S. Marines, Disney Animation, the FBI,
high-achieving schools, and more.
IN DEMAND AUTHOR: In his promotions for The Power of Habit, Duhigg appeared on
Colbert Report, Today, Fresh Air, and The Dr. Oz Show, among many, many others. He is a
frequent contributor to This American Life, NPR, and Frontline, and is on the road for the
Random House Speakers Bureau doing 40-60 talks each year to universities, corporations,
and conferences.
GENRE: Titles on personal growth and self-improvement always do very well amongst
Spanish-language readers. Duhigg joins the company of Vintage Espanol list of authors
like Sharma, Chopra, and Covey.
"Few [books] become essential manuals for business and living. The Power of Habit is an
exception. Charles Duhigg not only explains how habits are formed but how to kick bad
ones and hang onto the good." -- Financial Times on The Power of Habit
CHARLES DUHIGG is a Pulitzer-prize winning investigative reporter for The New York Times
and author of The Power of Habit. A graduate of Yale College and Harvard Business School,
he has received the George Polk, the National Academies of Science and other awards. He
lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two children.

Paulo Coelho
In his new novel, Paulo Coelho, best-selling author of The Alchemist and Adultery,
brings to life one of history's most enigmatic women: Mata Hari. The story of her
celebrated yet mysterious life as an exotic dancer and courtesan,
and her controversial execution as a spy during the First World War unfolds as a
fascinating first-person narrative of self-creation and bravery.

[English-language edition: The Spy -- Knopf; 11/22/2016]
Her only crime was to be an independent woman: "I do not know if the
future will remember me, but if it should, may no one ever view me as a victim, but
as someone who moved forward with courage, and paid the price she had to pay."
On the occasion of the centenary of Mata Hari's execution for espionage in 1917,
Paulo Coelho reconsiders her life and character in a fictional memoir. In a series of
letters, written from prison on the eve of her death, Mata Hari reflects on
the choices she has made to always pursue her own truth--from her childhood in
a small Dutch town, to unhappy years as the wife of an alcoholic diplomat in Java,
to her calculated and self-fashioned rise to celebrity in Paris and across Europe as
an exotic dancer and confidante to the most powerful men of the time. Though
there was little evidence to incriminate her, Mata Hari was unable to escape
persecution and prosecution by French military intelligence, and at the novel's
end, Coelho re-creates a final letter, written by Mata Hari's lawer, Edouard Clunet,
that offers a captivating view of Europe at war and the fatal price of suspicion.
SPANISH-LANGUAGE POWERHOUSE: Coelho has a tremendous following in Spanish, and his
books never fail to receive major attention from Spanish-language media. Adulterio
debuted at #1 on Spanish-langage bestseller lists.
IMPRESSIVE SALES: Coelho's Spanish-language editions have sold over 270,000 copies for
Vintage Español alone, including 85,000 for Adulterio.
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR: The Alchemist is the longest running New York Times paperback
best-seller to date with more than 400 weeks on the list, and it's still making the charts
twenty-five years after its initial publication.
WORLDWIDE PUBLICATION: The Spy will be released this fall as a major global publishing
event.
MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS: Paulo Coelho's immense social presence continues to grow: over
10 million new fans have followed his Facebook and Twitter pages in the last two years
alone.
ENGLISH EDITION: Simultaneous English language hardcover release from Knopf (The Spy/
978-1-5247-3206-6).

1946
The Making of the Modern World
Victor Sebestyen
A powerful, revelatory book about the year that would signal the beginning of the
Cold War, the end of the British Empire, and the beginning of the rivalry between the
United States and the USSR.
Sebestyen creates a taut, panoramic narrative and takes us to meetings that
changed the world: from Berlin, July 1945, when Truman tells Stalin we have
successfully tested the bomb; to Ye'nan, China, January 1946, when General
George Marshall tells the Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong Americans won't
send troops to China, assuring the Communists will attain power; Delhi, India,
April 1946, when UK cabinet members tell Pandit Nehur and Mahatma Gandhi that
the British will leave India within a few months ending two centuries of British
imperialism; to Jerusalem, May 1946, when representatives of David Ben-Gurion
and moderate Zionists meet Begin and Jewish terrorist groups, to agree to drive
the British from Palestine. The bombing of the King David Hotel resulted,
accelerating the creation of Israel.
Drawing on personal testimonies and new archival research, Sebestyen has
written a vivid and compelling narrative that brilliantly evokes the beginning of the
Cold War set against a devastated landscape of dystopian horrors.

the Shah, Churchill, Truman, George Kennan, General Douglas MacArthur, David
Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin, Dean Acheson, George Marshall, Hirohito, General Joe

Jerusalem; August 16, the Great Calcutta Killings, among others.
"An impressively wide-ranging and detailed survey of the war's aftermath. . . . An
uncommonly clear bird's-eye view of a postwar world of rivalry, hardship, and chaos." - - T h e
Daily Mail (UK)
"1 9 4 6 is a gripping and authoritative work spanning the world: an excellent, elegant, and
exciting panoramic portrait of the dark world emerging from WWII." --Simon Sebag
Montefiore, author of Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar

The English and Their History
Robert Tombs
A comprehensive, eminently accessible history of England and its people--a
masterwork of narrative nonfiction written with an eye for detail equal in ambition
and achievement to its unprecedented scale and scope.
Robert Tombs's momentous The English and Their History is both a startlingly
fresh and a uniquely inclusive account of the people who have a claim to be the
oldest nation in the world. The English first came into existence as an idea, before
they had a common ruler and before the country they lived in even had a name.
They have lasted as a recognizable entity ever since, and their defining national
institutions can be traced back to the earliest years of their history.

The English have come a long way from those first precarious days of invasion
and conquest, with many spectacular changes of fortune. Their political, economic
and cultural contacts have left traces for good and ill across the world. This book
describes their history and its meanings from their beginnings in the monasteries
of Northumbria and the wetlands of Wessex to the cosmopolitan energy of today's
England. Robert Tombs draws out important threads running through the story,
including participatory government, language, law, religion, the land, and the sea,
and ever-changing relations with other peoples. Not the least of these connections
are the ways the English have understood their own history, have argued about it,
forgotten it, and yet been shaped by it. These diverse and sometimes conflicting
understandings are an inherent part of their identity.
Rather to their surprise, as ties within the United Kingdom loosen, the English
are suddenly embarking on a new chapter. The English and Their History, the first
single-volume work on this scale for more than half a century, and which
incorporates a wealth of recent scholarship, presents a challenging modern
account of this immense and continuing story, bringing out the strength and
resilience of English government, the deep patterns of division and also the
persistent capacity to come together in the face of danger.
BEST OF THE YEAR: The English and Their History has been recognized as a book of the
year in the UK by the Daily Telegraph, Times Literary Supplement, The Times, Spectator,
and The Economist
MAJOR REVIEW ATTENTION: The hardcover has received widespread praise in both the UK
and the US, from publications such as The New York Times, The Times, The Economist, the
Financial Times, The Atlantic and many others.
COMPREHENSIVE & DEFINITIVE: Robert Tombs covers the entire history of England in an
enormous, but deeply engaging survey. A major history telling the nation's story from 600
AD to the present, The English and Their History has strong long-term & backlist sales
potential.
GIFT BOOK EXTRAORDINAIRE: A must-have for history buffs, this handsome book boasts
pages of illustrated inserts, maps and charts. And, though written with a scholar's eye for
detail, The English and Their History is accessible, composed with a personal touch,
fast-paced, and written for a general audience.
COVER QUOTE: "Spectacular and massive. . . . It's a book for our times that should also
become the standard text for the century to come." --The Atlantic
"[A] fresh retelling of English history with a thoughtful analysis of the changing ways in
which the English themselves have interpreted their past. It successfully does both."
- -The New York Times Book Review
"The perfect starting point for anyone who wants to grapple with the complexity of the
English question....[Tombs] writes beautifully; there isn't a lazy sentence in this text."
- -The Economist
"[A] compelling and intriguing analysis....vast in scope and full to the brim with scholarship

The Spectacle of Skill
New and Selected Writings of Robert Hughes
Robert Hughes
A selection of the best writing by Robert Hughes--the most important art and culture
critic of our time--including never-before-seen pages from his unfinished second
memoir.
Over the course of his distinguished career as a our preeminent critic, Robert
Hughes wrote with brutal honesty about art, architecture, culture, religion--and
himself. This collection gathers together some of his most unforgettable pieces,
culled from nine of his most widely read and important books. Showcasing
Hughes's enormous range, The Spectacle of Skill gives us a uniquely cohesive view
of both the critic and the man, and includes never-before-published pages from
his unfinished second volume of memoirs. These last writings show Hughes at the
height of his powers and can be read only with pleasure and a tinge of sadness
that his extraordinary voice is no longer here to educate us as well as to clarify and
define our world.

never-before-seen pages from the unfinished companion volume to his memoir, Things I
Didn't Know. This unseen material offers new glimpses into Hughes's life.

the here and now," and Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review.
INTRODUCTION: Includes an introduction from author and staff writer for The New Yorker,
Adam Gopnik.
"Delightful if bittersweet recollections." --Vanity Fair
"A generous reminder to all those familiar with Hughes's prose of just how dazzlingly he
succeeded at that goal, and it will introduce newcomers to one of the great critical voices
of the late 20th century." --The Christian Science Monitor
"Echo[es] with an erudite authority that would seem impossible to obtain in our day, and a
bombast that would be unbearably rude. The combination, conveyed in a clear and
entertaining prose, will feel nostalgic even to those who come to know [Hughes] only by
this book." --San Francisco Chronicle
"A must-have item for anyone who wishes emphatically to know what is what in the here
and now." --The Wall Street Journal
"The staggering erudition of Time art critic Hughes is on full and glorious display in this
impressive collection." --Publishers Weekly (starred)
Praise for Robert Hughes:
"Hughes is the sort of ebullient writer who floods his reader with great bursting
accumulations of words and gets carried away with the sheer exuberance of his narrative.
It is compelling. You don't want to miss a sentence." --The Christian Science Monitor
"Hughes has defined himself as one of the great critics and cultural commentators of the
postwar period. His brilliance lies not just in his erudition ... but also in his rugged, keen
style and eye for historical and thematic detail that can lead him to gorgeous sweeps of
overarching observation." --Michael Bracewell, Los Angeles Times
Author Hometown: New York, NY

My History
A Memoir of Growing Up
Lady Antonia Fraser
From Antonia Fraser, the acclaimed bestselling biographer of Marie Antoinette and
Mary Queen of Scots: a vividly told memoir of an enchanted childhood in the British
aristocracy--and the experiences that set her on the path to a writing life.
Antonia Fraser's profound love of history has been a constant in her remarkable
life. When she received a copy of Our Island Story by H. E. Marshall as a Christmas
present in 1936 at the age of five, the book made such an impression that it
inspired her to write Mary Queen of Scots thirty years later. Born into British
aristocracy, the author's idyllic early childhood was interrupted by a wartime
evacuation to North Oxford. The relocation had profound effects on her life, not
the least of which was her education at a Catholic convent, and eventual
conversion from the Protestant faith to Catholicism. Her memories of holidays
spent at Dunsany Castle and Pakenham Hall, a stint as "Miss Tony" selling hats in a
London department store, and her early days working in publishing are all told in
her singular, irresistible voice. My History is a personal and heartfelt memoir that
is also a love letter to a British way of life that has all but disappeared.

AUTHOR: Not only is Antonia Fraser a bestselling biographer, she is also a lady, a dame,
and part of a glamorous world that has been populated with figures such as Anthony
Powell, Evelyn Waugh, T. S. Eliot, and her late husband, Harold Pinter.
MUST YOU GO? For readers who loved Fraser's account of her marriage to Harold Pinter,
here are the equally fascinating chapters of her life that came before.
FOR FANS OF: Edna O'Brien's Country Girl, Gail Sheehy's My Passages, British culture, and
Downton Abbey.
"Amiable and engaging.... As vivid and character-rich as her popular histories." --The
Washington Post
"The history of a writer's love affair with her vocation.... Skillfully wielding her well-honed
biographer's tools, Fraser shows what it felt like to be Antonia Pakenham, eliciting warm
fellow feeling even in readers themselves who are nothing like a dame." -- The New York
Times Book Review
"Reading My History, I felt I was sitting at Ms. Fraser's dinner table in London, listening to
the reminiscences and anecdotes of a grande dame, delivered with an even tone and a
gracious smile." --Moira Hodgson, The Wall Street Journal
"Antonia Fraser, through both advantages of birth and strength of character, is one of
those rare human beings who has managed to live a long, eventful life that has been both
charmed and charming.... My History will certainly bring readers closer to Antonia Fraser.
And the closer they get, the more most of them will like this willful, winning and very
talented lady." --T he Washington Times
"A hugely enjoyable squishy romp, the literary equivalent of a big crumbling meringue at a
society wedding." --The Times (London)
"Fascinating." --The Guardian (London)
"Engaging and elegiac." --Financial Times
"This autobiographical journey is distinguished by Fraser's contagious enthusiasm for all
things historical, including her own remarkable past." --Booklist
"A witty, perambulating memoir of youth and early adulthood.... Nuanced and emotionally
oblique in a most English fashion, [ My History] offers a textured glimpse into a bygone
era." --Publishers Weekly
Author Hometown: London

A Week in Winter
Maeve Binchy
In her bestselling novel, Maeve Binchy's grand storytelling takes us to a restful inn
on the coast of western Ireland and introduces us to an unforgettable cast of
characters. Now available in mass-market for the first time.
Stoneybridge is a small town where all the families know each other. When
Chicky Starr decides to take an old decaying mansion, Stone House, and turn it
into an inn, the town thinks she's crazy. She does manage to recruit a few loyal
collaborators, including her niece Orla (a business whiz) and Rigger (a bad boy
turned good who is handy around the place), to get the place into shape. Finally,
the first week of paying guests arrive. John, the American movie star, thinks he has
arrived incognito. Winnie has been forced to take a holiday with her boyfriend's
mother, Lillian. The doctors, Nuala and Henry, are shaken from seeing too much
death. Anders, the Swedish boy, hates his father's business but has a real talent for
music. Miss Nell Howe, a retired schoolteacher, criticizes everything and leaves a
day early (much to everyone's relief). The Walls are disappointed to have won their
holiday as second prize in a contest where first prize was Paris. And Freda, the
librarian, is afraid of her own psychic visions. Laugh and cry as you spend the
week with this group, as they share their secrets and--maybe--even see some of
their dreams come true.

Margaret Thatcher
At Her Zenith: In London, Washington and Moscow
Charles Moore
The second volume of the authorized biography of the longest serving--and first
female--prime minister of the twentieth century, and one of the most influential
political figures of the postwar era.
In June 1983 Margaret Thatcher won the biggest increase in a government's
parliamentary majority in British electoral history. Over the next four years, as
Charles Moore relates in this central volume of his uniquely authoritative
biography, Britain's first woman prime minister changed the course of her
country's history and that of the world, often by sheer force of will.
The book reveals as never before how Mrs. Thatcher transformed relations with
Europe, privatized the commanding heights of British industry and continued the
reinvigoration of the British economy. It describes her role on the world stage with
dramatic immediacy, identifying Mikhail Gorbachev as "a man to do business with"
before he became leader of the Soviet Union, and then persistently pushing him
and Ronald Reagan, her great ideological soul mate, to order world affairs
according to her vision. For the only time since Churchill, she ensured that Britain
had a central place in dealings between the superpowers.

But even at her zenith she was beset by difficulties. Reagan would deceive her
during the US invasion of Grenada. She lost the minister to whom she was
personally closest to scandal and faced calls for her resignation. She found herself
isolated within her own government. She was at odds with the Queen over the
Commonwealth and South Africa. She bullied senior colleagues and she set in
motion the poll tax. Both of these would later return to wound her, fatally.
Charles Moore has had unprecedented access to all of Mrs. Thatcher's private
and government papers. The participants in the events described have been so
frank in interviews that we feel we are eavesdropping on their conversations as
they pass. We look over Mrs. Thatcher's shoulder as she vigorously annotates
documents and as she articulates her views in detail, and we understand for the
first time how closely she relied on a handful of trusted advisers to carry out her
will. We see her as a public performer, an often anxious mother, a workaholic and
the first woman in Western democratic history who truly came to dominate her
country in her time.
In the early hours of October 12, 1984, during the Conservative party
conference in Brighton, the IRA attempted to assassinate her. She carried on
within hours to give her leader's speech at the conference. One of her many
left-wing critics, watching her that day, said, "I don't approve of her as Prime
Minister, but by God she's a great tank commander." This titanic figure, with all
her capabilities and her flaws, storms from these pages as from no other book.
AUTHORITATIVE: This book immediately supersedes all previous books on Thatcher, and is
the essential complement to Thatcher's memoirs. Volume II is equally extensive as Volume
I.
ACCESS: Moore had unrestricted access to all of Thatcher's papers, unpublished interviews
with her, and all her major colleagues.
MAJOR APPEAL IN US: Moore's account of the close relationship between Thatcher and
Ronald Reagan--the domestic and international ambitions they shared--will be of special
interest to American readers.
AUTHOR: Charles Moore is the former editor of The Daily Telegraph and Sunday
Telegraph. He has been working on this project for over fifteen years.
"[Moore's judgments throughout the book are shrewd and balanced....Moore, for all his
admiration, does not attempt to make Thatcher any more likable than previously thought.

A young neuroscientist investigates the brain's hidden logic behind our strangest
behaviors, explaining how conscious and unconscious systems interact in order to
create our experience and preserve our sense of self.
From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple
personalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strange
thoughts and behaviors. From the outside, these phenomena are written off as
being just "crazy," but what if they were actually planned and logical? NeuroLogic
explores the brain's internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths to
conscious decision-making, and how it explains our most outlandish as well as
our most stereotyped behaviors. Drawing on current research in neuroscience and
fascinating neurological cases, Eliezer J. Sternberg explores questions such as:
What do the blind see when they dream?
Why do people believe in alien abductions?
Why do schizophrenics hear voices?
From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fans
to false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, you'll find
that there's a pattern to the way the brain interprets the world--a pattern that fits
the brain's unique logic. Unraveling this pattern and the various ways it can be
disturbed will alter not only our view of mental illness and supernatural experience
but also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves.
SUBJECT: Neuroscience is a crowded shelf, but the successful books (Ariely, Eagleman,
Kahneman) are often written by neuroscientists who have an engaging thesis and
compelling presentation. Sternberg is the latest--and youngest--example.
AUTHOR: Still in his twenties, Sternberg is doing his residency in clinical neurology and is
the author of two previous books that address new findings in brain science.
AUDIENCE: Not only the readers of Eagleman, Kahneman, and Gladwell, but also those of
Michael Gazzaniga and Antonio Damasio.
"An enchanting journey . . . the author writes with brio and dash . . . of the brain's ability to
draw the story of our life, from experience and from thin air." -- Kirkus Reviews
"NeuroLogic is an exciting adventure, bringing the most fascinating mysteries of the mind to
a very human level. It is a deeply engaging, thought-provoking, and fun read. Sternberg
reaches a new level of popular neuroscience literature in the footsteps of Oliver Sacks but
with fresh, novel appeal." --Hal Blumenfeld, MD, PhD, author of Neuroanatomy through
Clinical Cases
Author Residence: Boston, MA
ELIEZER J. STERNBERG, MD, is a resident neurologist at Yale-New Haven Hospital. With a
background in neuroscience and philosophy, he studies how brain research can shed light
on the mysteries of consciousness and decision-making. He is the author of Are You a

Stories I Tell Myself
Growing Up with Hunter S. Thompson
Juan Thompson
A fresh and moving glimpse of Hunter S. Thompson, the countercultural icon and
enfant terrible of American journalism, in a rarely seen role: as an unpredictable,
messy, imperfect father.
Patron saint of gonzo journalism, wild man, psychedelic, troublemaker,
truth-teller, iconoclast, raconteur. The legendary Hunter S. Thompson was all of
the above. But behind his mythic persona lies a lesser-told story: that of a
demanding husband and father with a hair-trigger temper whose scathing wit
could cut as deeply at home as on the page. In this intimate, surprising memoir,
Juan F. Thompson, Hunter's only son, tells of a coming-of-age that was at once
singular--with nights spent crawling under barstools while his father held court at
the Hotel Jerome, and days spent sailing with Jimmy Buffett while his parents'
marriage fell apart--and deeply familiar, as father and son struggled to forge a
connection under the crushing weight of expectation.

From sleeping through Hells Angels parties and riding on the back of Hunter's
Bultaco Matador as a small boy, to wrestling with Hunter's fits of rage and
competing with countless others for his attention, to watching Hunter become a
doting grandfather and dealing with his decline after decades of substance abuse,
Juan offers a son's tale of the astonishing and poignant arc from darkness to
reconciliation. Stories I Tell Myself is an unprecedented view of a passionate,
complex, indelible man.
AN ESSENTIAL HISTORICAL PUZZLE PIECE: This title is an important addition to the lore of
Hunter S. Thompson, and stands to have a long life on the shelves for fans of Thompson
and his contemporaries and disciples, as well as readers interested in the American '60s
and '70s counterculture.
READING GROUP POTENTIAL: Stories I Tell Myself is a moving, entertaining, and universally
relatable father-son memoir at its heart--though with real-life anecdotes more shocking
and delightful than most--and is an ideal book club selection.
MEDIA INTEREST: The world's fascination with Hunter S. Thompson is ongoing, and this
title has enjoyed positive international media coverage from publications including The
New York Times, The Washington Post, Salon, The Guardian, and The Daily Mail (London).
Praise for Stories I Tell Myself
"A journey of love and forgiveness. . . . A portrait of Hunter as a human being, funny and
fearful pages filled with drunk, smoky evenings, famous friends and admirers, extensive
travels and financial uncertainty." --Salon
"A calm book about a wild man. . . . A careful yet harrowing account of an offbeat
childhood, and of a father-and-son relationship that grew very dark before it began to
admit hints of light." --The New York Times
"Moving and fascinating. . . . [A] sensitive depiction of a fraught father-son relationship. . .
. Adds depth and color to our understanding of Hunter S. Thompson." --The Washington

The Winter Girl
Matt Marinovich
In this deliciously twisted, savagely witty psychological thriller, Matt Marinovich
pulls back the curtain on a damaged marriage as an illicit temptation leads a
husband and wife to the point of no return.
It's wintertime in the Hamptons, where Scott and Elise, a young married couple
from Brooklyn, have come to handle the affairs of her dying father. While Elise
spends her days at the hospital with her father, Scott grows increasingly fixated on
the vacant house next door. Every night at precisely eleven o'clock, the lights in
the empty bedroom turn off. No one else is around in the dead of winter. One day,
while Elise is at the hospital, he breaks in. And he experiences a jolt of excitement
that he hasn't felt in a long time. It's not hard to convince his wife to join him and
see if some playful danger will rekindle their passion. But a simple transgression
leads to a horrific discovery--and sends husband and wife down a delirious spiral
of bad decisions, duplicity, and desperation as unthinkable secrets come to the
fore.

REVIEWS: The Winter Girl has been praised not only for its thrills, but for its astute insight
into loss, loneliness, and the complexities of a marriage, and the "startling authenticity"
(The Washington Post) with which it evokes its main characters.
FEAR FACTOR: Garnering multiple favorable comparisons to Gone Girl and Hitchcock's
Rear Window, The Winter Girl has been called "so creepy" (Newsday), and "more scary" (The
Washington Post) and "darker" (The Sacramento Bee) than its predecessors. It's the ideal
book for readers who love a psychological thriller that's truly--and deliciously--chilling.
VACATION TREAT: On sale in early December, this will be the perfect paperback to pack
up and devour over the winter holidays.
"A marital thriller more scary than Gone Girl. . . . Even though The Winter Girl is dark and
dismal--Marinovich may have given birth to Hamptons noir--the novel is, essentially, the
anatomy of a marriage and what happens when deadly secrets, like poisonous snakes,
threaten those who seek to get close to them. Marinovich writes with startling authenticity
about how it feels to be in a miserable relationship. . . . If you had a love/hate relationship
with Nick and Amy Dunne, the crazy couple at the center of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, you'll
feel equally at home with Scott and Elise--just be forewarned that this devilishly good
story is scads more scary." --The Washington Post
"A page-turner. Once the surprises start coming out, it's hard to put down. . . . Marinovich
has delivered an intriguing and fast-paced read if you're looking for something to keep
you up on a cold winter's night." --New York Daily News
"A dark tale of shivers, shocks, and surprises. . . . Summons elements of Alfred Hitchcock's
1954 masterpiece Rear Window (from a short story by Cornell Woolrich) and Gone Girl, the
ongoing best-seller by Gillian Flynn, though it is darker than both. . . . Moves into
dangerous territory as one shocking surprise leads to the next, culminating in mayhem
and revelations of twisted family secrets." --The Sacramento Bee

The Stargazer's Sister
A Novel
Carrie Brown
A richly realized novel about a woman of science ahead of her time, and the choices
she can make, in 19th century England, by the author of The Last First Day and The
Rope Walk.
Caroline Herschel, known as Lina to her family, grew up in the shadow of her
older brother William's accomplishments in astronomy, music, and more. After
years of feeling useless, Lina has the opportunity to change her life when William
invites her to join him in England, to assist in his pursuits of music-making and
stargazing--not to mention run his bachelor household. William is generous, wise,
and charismatic, an obsessive genius whom Lina adores and serves with the
fervency of a beloved wife. But William's sudden decision to marry at last, shatters
all of Lina's expectations for her life, and destroys the life she has built for herself.
Lina's world collapses and all of her expectations of security are shatter. Through
Lina's trials and successes, drawn in Carrie Brown's characteristically elegant
prose, we witness the dawning of an early feminist consciousness--a woman
struggling to find her own place among the stars.

AUTHOR: This is Carrie Brown's seventh novel, and her first novel-length work of historical
fiction. She has received accolades for her work including
BOOK CLUB APPEAL: This story of an early female scientist is a natural choice for book
clubs and reading groups.
BACKLIST: The Last First Day and The Rope Walk are both published by Anchor Books;
although they are contemporary stories, the detailed, evocative prose is a constant.
FOR FANS OF: Masters of women-focused historical fiction such as Andrea Barrett,
Geraldine Brooks, Tracy Chevalier, and Elena Ferrante.
"Intriguing.... Intense and emotionally vivid.... In precise and vivid prose, Brown conveys
the texture of daily life for a woman with both domestic responsibilities... and complex
intellectual tasks.... [Brown trains] her gaze on the blanks in the record and emphasizing
experiences a biographer might scant. Her Lina (as William called her) is not a historical
personage but a sympathetic fictional character."--Andrea Barrett, The Washington Post
"A haunting evocation--actual and imagined--of the life of Caroline 'Lina' Herschel, the
younger sister of the eighteenth-century astronomer William Herschel. The tale is deeply
satisfying, a testament to Carrie Brown's seductive voice and her ability to translate Lina's
deep emotional life in all its complexity, both joyful and heartbreaking. I love this book, a
wonderful adventure and a resonating example of the difficulties faced by so many
women for so very long." --Robb Forman Dew, National Book Award-winning author of
Dale Loves Sophie to Death
"Brown brings the true story of the Herschel siblings to life in exquisite detail and deftly
explores what it meant for Caroline to be an intelligent woman far ahead of her time."
- - BookPage
"A novel for the 21st century set in 19th-century England.... Brown's study of awakening
feminist consciousness isn't just wish fulfillment, as her characters are based on real-life
figures." --Library Journal, "Literary Authors on the Rise"
