"Book Synopsis :
A self-portrait of a great writer 's rise and fall, intensely personal and etched with Fitzgerald's signature blend of romance and realism.The Crack-Up tells the story of Fitzgerald's sudden descent at the age of thirty-nine from glamorous success to empty despair, and his determined recovery. Compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson shortly after F. Scott Fitzgerald's death, this revealing collection of his essays&#8213as well as letters to and from Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, T.S. Eliot, John Dos Passos&#8213tells of a man with charm and talent to burn, whose gaiety and genius made him a living symbol of the Jazz Age, and whose recklessness brought him grief and loss. &quotFitzgerald's physical and spiritual exhaustion is described brilliantly,&quot noted The New York Review of Books: &quotthe essays are amazing for the candor.&quot

"Book Synopsis :
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER &#8216A delight!&#8217 Zoe Ball, BBC Radio 2 &#8216Very entertaining.&#8217 Irish Times ** From UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, horsemeat lasagne to Trump in the White House: bestselling comedian David Mitchell brilliantly tackles the dumbfounding times we live in. As facts are downgraded to opinions, as customers are preyed upon by algorithm-wielding websites, voters by targeted lies, cinema-goers by superheroes and children by measles, it is probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up. But if you&#8217re determined to give it a go, you might enjoy this eclectic collection (or eclection) of David Mitchell&#8217s attempts to make light of all that darkness. Scampi, politics, the Olympics, terrorism, condiments, proportional representation and rude street names are all touched upon by Mitchell&#8217s unremitting laser of chit-chat. Read this book and slightly change your life!

"Book Synopsis :
A harrowing and heartfelt essay collection weaving narratives about family, gun violence, art, and the American Dream. Two weeks before her grandfather purchased a gun, Ashley Marie Farmer&#8217s grandmother tripped as she walked across their living room. It was a swift accident on an ordinary day: her chin hit the floor her cervical spine shattered. She asked, &#8220I&#8217m paralyzed, aren&#8217t I?&#8221 Later, thinking to put her out of her misery, he kissed his sleeping wife of sixty-three years and shot her in the chest. He tried to shoot himself too, but the weapon broke apart in his hands. He was immediately arrested. This is the scene we are greeted with at the outset of Farmer&#8217s stunning collection of hybrid essays. One of its greatest features is the variety of voices, a kaleidoscopic approach that corrals in autobiography, audio transcripts, media, legal documents, internet comments, short prose pieces, and more. The result is a moving, deeply satisfying, and eye-opening story. Ashley Marie Farmer is a profound writer who is clearly here to stay, her voice a true gift to our times.

"Book Synopsis :
In this innovative synthesis of words and images, the award-winning author of Open City and photography critic for The New York Times Magazine combines two of his great passions.One of Time&#8217s Top 10 Non-Fiction Books of the Year &#8226 One of Smithsonian.com&#8217s Ten Best Photography Books of the Year When it comes to Teju Cole, the unexpected is not unfamiliar: He&#8217s an acclaimed novelist, an influential essayist, and an internationally exhibited photographer. In Blind Spot, readers follow Cole&#8217s inimitable artistic vision into the visual realm as he continues to refine the voice, eye, and intellectual obsessions that earned him such acclaim for Open City. Here, journey through more than 150 of Cole&#8217s full-color original photos, each accompanied by his lyrical and evocative prose, forming a multimedia diary of years of near-constant travel: from a park in Berlin to a mountain range in Switzerland, a church exterior in Lagos to a parking lot in Brooklyn landscapes and interiors, beautiful or quotidian, that inspire Cole&#8217s memories, fantasies, and introspections. Ships in Capri remind him of the work of writers from Homer to Edna O&#8217Brien a hotel room in Wannsee brings back a disturbing dream about a friend&#8217s death a home in Tivoli evokes a transformative period of semi-blindness, after which &#8220the photography changed. . . . The looking changed.&#8221 As exquisitely wrought as the work of Anne Carson or Chris Marker, Blind Spot is a testament to the art of seeing by one of the most powerful and original voices in contemporary literature.Praise for Blind Spot&#8220Common things [are] made radiant by the quality of Cole&#8217s looking. . . . In this new, luminous book, Cole shows himself to be really one of the best at seeing.&#8221&#8212The Guardian &#8220This lyrical essay in photographs paired with texts explores the mysteries of the ordinary.&#8221&#8212The&nbspNew York Times Books Review (Editors&#8217 Choice) &#8220Stunning . . . feels like the fulfillment of an intellectual project that has defined most of [Cole&#8217s] career.&#8221&#8212Slate &#8220Dazzling . . . cerebral yet intimate . . . combines personal essay, history, biography, journalism, and photography into a seamless package, capturing human dignity and grace through careful, clear-eyed reverence.&#8221&#8212Vice &#8220An eclectically brilliant distillation of what photography can do, and why it remains an important art form.&#8221&#8212San Francisco Chronicle

"Book Synopsis :
Italy as a haven of gay liberty: a grand tour with Oscar Wilde, featuring previously unseen photographs and archival materialsIn Oscar Wilde&#8217s Italian Dream 1875&#82111900, leading Wilde scholar Renato Miracco combines written research with previously unseen visual material ranging from Wilde&#8217s earliest heady trips to Italy as an Oxford student to recently released court documents from his trial and his final days in France and Italy in 1900, after his incarceration in Reading Gaol, and his voluntary exile from Britain. Italy, and the larger world beyond London, was essential to the sensitivity and awareness of Wilde&#8217s identity, his contributions to prison reform and his challenges to social norms and sexual stereotypes in his last years. It also offered a great deal of sexual liberty compared to the oppressive moral atmosphere of England at that time.The previously unseen images Miracco has incorporated in this volume (including photos that Wilde received from the gay German photographer Wilhelm von Gloeden) are mainly from private collections, and together with letters, reminiscences and magazine and newspaper articles (along with derogatory articles about Wilde from the Italian press) they play a key role in placing Wilde&#8217s character, and an entire generation, in a complex context. Oscar Wilde&#8217s Italian Dream 1875&#82111900 is a major addition to the canon of one of the world&#8217s greatest literary figures.Renato Miracco (born 1953) is an Italian art critic and curator. He was awarded the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic for Cultural Achievements in 2018. He served as Cultural Attach&#233 for the Italian Embassy in Washington from 2010 to 2018 and as advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy. Miracco has curated major exhibitions for Tate Modern in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and London&#8217s Estorick Collection. His passion for Wilde dates from the early 1980s when he wrote his first essay on Wilde&#8217s time in Italy. This new book on Wilde is based on new materials that Miracco has found over the last few years.

"Book Synopsis :
Looking for adventure and continuing a process of self-discovery, Janisse Ray has repeatedly set out to immerse herself in wildness, to be wild, and to learn what wildness can teach us. From overwintering with monarch butterflies in Mexico to counting birds in Belize, the stories in Wild Spectacle capture her luckiest moments&#8213ones of heart-pounding amazement, discovery of romance, and moving toward living more wisely. In Ray&#8217s worst moments she crosses boundaries to encounter danger and embrace sadness.Anchored firmly in two places Ray has called home&#8213Montana and southern Georgia&#8213the sixteen essays here span a landscape from Alaska to Central America, connecting common elements in the ecosystems of people and place. One of her abiding griefs is that she has missed the sights of explorers like Bartram, Sacagawea, and Carver: flocks of passenger pigeons, routes of wolves, herds of bison. She craves a wilder world and documents encounters that are rare in a time of disappearing habitat, declining biodiversity, and a world too slowly coming to terms with climate change. In an age of increasingly virtual, urban life, Ray embraces the intentionality of trying to be a better person balanced with seeking out natural spectacle, abundance, and less trammeled environments. She questions what it means to travel into the wild as a woman, speculates on the impacts of ecotourism and travel in general, questions assumptions about eating from the land, and appeals to future generations to make substantive change.Wild Spectacle explores our first home, the wild earth, and invites us to question its known and unknown beauties and curiosities.
