An irresistible inside look at one of the world's great dance companies, Winter Season is also a sensitive, intimate, and almost painfully honest account of the emotional and intellectual development of a young woman dedicated to one of the most demanding of all the arts.
Bentley's association with the New York City Ballet began when she was accepted by the affiliated School of American Ballet at the age of eleven.  Seven years later, she became a member of the company. In the fall of 1980, as the winter season opened, she found herself facing an emotional crisis: her dancing was not going well.  At 22 she felt that her life had lost direction. To try to make something of her experience, on paper if not on stage, she began to keep a journal, describing her day-to-day activities and looking back on her past. The result is perhaps the closest that most of us will ever come to knowing what it feels like to be a dancer, on stage and off.  It also offers memorable glimpses of some notable members of the City ballet, with, at the center, the man whose vision they all served--George Balanchine.

The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a gripping account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies.
When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn’t become scientists, she decided she would.
Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book’s author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his co-discovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions.
The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code.
Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm…Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids?
After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is a thrilling detective tale that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.

"A deeply observed, excruciatingly blunt novel."-The New Yorker "The raging, tormented voice of the author is something rare."-The New York Times Following her mother's untimely and mysterious death, Delia embarks on a voyage of discovery through the streets of her native Naples searching for the truth about her family. A series of mysterious telephone calls leads her to compelling and disturbing revelations about her mother's final days. This stylish fiction from the author of The Days of Abandonment is set in a beguiling but often hostile Naples, whose chaotic, suffocating streets become one of the book's central motifs. A story about mothers and daughters and the complicated knot of lies and emotions that binds them. Elena Ferrante's previous novel, The Days of Abandonment, received excellent critical attention in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Seattle Times, Library Journal, and many other publications. Troubling Love is expected to follow in its footsteps.

"She is among the greatest Italian authors of recent years."-"Corriere della Sera" "Ferrante dissects the personal microcosm so well, and with awesome lucidity and precision shows us the meanderings of a woman's mind, the suffering that accompanies being abandoned, and the awful rumbling of time passing."-"El Mundo" "Elena Ferrante has given us a startlingly beautiful novel of exceptional and bold strength."-"Il Manifesto" "Severe and rigorously unsentimental, packed full of passages written with dizzying intensity at a rare and acute pitch. Ferrante is at her best when her writing holds tight to those nagging, niggling obsessions that make up our mental landscapes."-"La Stampa" A national bestseller for almost an entire year, "The Days of Abandonment" shocked and captivated its Italian public when first published. It is the gripping story of a woman's descent into devastating emptiness after being abandoned by her husband with two young children to care for. When she finds herself literally trapped within the four walls of their high-rise apartment, she is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal. Elena Ferrante was born in Naples. Though she is one of Italy's most important and acclaimed contemporary authors, her identity is a mystery. Theories and speculation as to who Elena Ferrante really is continue to circulate; however, the author has successfully shunned public attention and has been able to keep her whereabouts and her true identity concealed. "The Days of Abandonment," her second novel, is currently being made into a film by director Roberto Faenza, due for release inNorth America in 2006.

"Elena Ferrante will blow you away."-Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones From the author of The Days of Abandonment, The Lost Daughter is Elena Ferrante's most compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood yet. Leda, a middle-aged divorce, is alone for the first time in years when her daughters leave home to live with their father. Her initial, unexpected sense of liberty turns to ferocious introspection following a seemingly trivial occurrence. Ferrante's language is as finely tuned and intense as ever, and she treats her theme with a fierce, candid tenacity.

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, fifteen-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths—until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

“A novel about the role of stories in our lives, those we tell ourselves about ourselves and those we agree to live by.”—Globe and MailWhen Franklin Starlight is called to visit his father, he has mixed emotions. Raised by the old man he was entrusted to soon after his birth, Frank is haunted by the brief and troubling moments he has shared with his father, Eldon. When he finally travels by horseback to town, he finds Eldon on the edge of death, decimated from years of drinking.The two undertake difficult journey into the mountainous backcountry, in search of a place for Eldon to die and be buried in the warrior way. As they travel, Eldon tells his son the story of his own life—from an impoverished childhood to combat in the Korean War and his shell-shocked return. Through the fog of pain, Eldon relates to his son these desolate moments, as well as his life’s fleeting but nonetheless crucial moments of happiness and hope, the sacrifices made in the name of love. And in telling his story, Eldon offers his son a world the boy has never seen, a history he has never known.

日子如锡皮般纷纷砸下，所向披靡的晨光漂白了他的眼珠。
狭小阴暗的电梯间，她一层接一层下降，仿佛没入一个又一个十年。
他开始描述颜色和光线，一只蜂鸟身上那美丽的、微微闪光的绿。

在某些时刻，生活被不可逆转地切分为过去和未来。只用一个句子，索特就能揭示出一个人的全部历史，渴望与恐惧、希望与需要之间复杂的相互作用——人何以陷入如今的境地。
当然，人并不是马上就能意识到这些事情。它是像一出戏那样慢慢展开的，一幕接着一幕，另一个人的现实处境就发生了改变：生活正把他带往一个地方，在那里他拥有的一切都无法保护他，会让他赤着脚，孤身一人。

♣ 布劳提根的短篇小说在最不可能之处告诉我们，琐碎的日常也能闪现诗意的灵光
他擅长以轻盈灵动的视角观察世界的运转和精神的低语，在被我们忽视的生活细节中找寻到诗意。布劳提根是独属于那些饱受摧残者的温柔诗人。他的书写，令那些渺小的灵魂得以面对生活的狂怒，浸入治愈的清凉。
♣ ’60一代精神风貌的代表，他的小说，以独特又诗意的方式再现了二十世纪六七十年代的嬉皮青年生活，将我们带回那个鲜花与浪潮的“爱之夏”
忧伤的酒鬼、底层文学家、荒野猎鸭人、城市之光书店的顾客，永远喝不完的波特酒和永远讲不完的爱与孤独的故事……这些布劳提根反复书写的人物与他们的生活，组成了一部献给嬉皮士时代加州生活的颂诗。
♣ 诗与小说的融合，突破传统文体的先锋开拓：布劳提根被认为是“第一位后现代主义小说家”，这些作品堪称他的传世之作
幽默、荒诞、隽永，介于诗、随笔和小说之间的独特阅读体验。布劳提根的诗人气质与天马行空的想象力为当代小说创作注入无限可能性，这些作品如同一些彩虹色泡泡，在空气中自由飘浮，又砰的一声忧伤地破灭。
♣ 对海明威式极简美学的继承和发展，俳句般凝练的诗意在小说里完美呈现：一缕烟或一小口啤酒的阅读体验——“布劳提根是美国的松尾芭蕉”
惊人的超短篇创作，最短的原文只有五十个词——对布劳提根来说，“精简”几乎染上了道德的意味。在这个滔滔不绝的时代，布劳提根像一只吝啬的石像鬼，抿紧嘴唇，沉默地守护着人类的语言殿堂；而他一旦开口，语言便重新拢聚迥异的意象，发掘出似乎不相干的事物间被遗忘的联系。
♣ 影响村上春树和一代美国嬉皮士，肯·凯西、西摩尔·劳伦斯等著名作家、出版人倾力推荐
他描绘的静谧、温柔又充满幽默的个人世界，是平凡作家模仿不来的。——村上春树

【内容简介】
“如果不是因为人们都需要一点爱，这可能会是一个有趣的故事，
而且，天哪，有时候他们不得不经历所有的不幸，只为找到一些爱。”
本书为美国反文化运动代表、“后垮掉派”诗人理查德·布劳提根的短篇小说集，共收录短篇小说六十二篇，大多数围绕着美国二十世纪六十年代的反文化运动中心、嬉皮青年的“精神圣地”旧金山展开。
这些故事都极短，最短的原文只有五十个词——布劳提根继承了海明威式克制简洁的叙述风格，又从散文与现代诗中汲取灵感。作为这一先锋性开拓的结果，布劳提根得以在“删繁就简”的美国短篇小说传统上走得比前辈们更远。他以这种极简笔触加上诗人独有的想象力，将日常生活写得妙趣横生，用带有悲伤的幽默为读者扫去现实的沉闷，呈现出生活的多样切片，处处洋溢着超现实的意趣。这些轻灵如彩虹、顽强如石头的文字，展现了布劳提根作为成熟小说家独树一帜的隽永风格。

——肯·凯西
如同《在美国钓鳟鱼》，在他无拘无束的奇妙叙述下，古老的历史、失落的风景，以及绝望如爱伦·坡般的作家鬼魂，在彩虹色泡泡中飘浮，又砰的一声忧伤地破灭。
——《卫报》
布劳提根的最堪传世之作，实际上是他的短篇小说和诗作——短小篇章包含了睿智、创新的意象以及转折离奇的措辞，几乎注定永久地拥有读者群。
——《纽约时报书评》
他是一位在马克·吐温的传统中出现的别开生面的美国作家，他称得上是最优秀的美国作家。只有他的死，能让我们堕落。
——西摩尔·劳伦斯

1939年夏天，大战阴影笼罩的旧金山，在一座俯视着湾区、名为“道庵”的房子里，已经获得诺贝尔文学奖的奥尼尔，开始撰写在内心深藏多年的自传戏《长夜漫漫路迢迢》。他决心将自己家中不可告人之事毫无保留地诉诸笔墨。往事如幽灵般纠缠不休，逼他非写不可，否则永远不得安宁。这部自传性剧作成为奥尼尔代表作。按作者本人的要求，这部作品在他去世后，直到1956年才首次上演。

Adrienne is living in a puritanical age, when the best compliment a childless woman can get is: 'You'd make a terrific mother'. That's when she goes to her friends' Labor Day picnic and accidentally kills their baby.
The shock of this scene is expertly packed into two brief paragraphs. What follows is Adrienne's retreat from life and her attempt to return to it.
Her sharp scepticism about the people around her is achingly funny. Yet beyond derision there is forgiveness and something along the lines of love.

A vibrant story collection about Cambodian-American life—immersive and comic, yet unsparing—that offers profound insight into the intimacy of queer and immigrant communities

One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police or to her husband, Bazil, and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.
Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of literary fiction. Louise Erdrich embraces tragedy, the comic, a spirit world very much present in the lives of her all-too-human characters, and a tale of injustice that is, unfortunately, an authentic reflection of what happens in our own world today.
