Описание: The first collection of short stories from the critically acclaimed, prize-winning author of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour.These eleven stories by Joshua Ferris, many of which were first published in The New Yorker, are at once thrilling, strange, and comic. The modern tribulations of marriage, ambition, and the fear of missing out as the temptations flow like wine and the minutes of life tick down are explored with the characteristic wit and insight that have made Ferris one of our most critically acclaimed novelists. Each of these stories burrows deep into the often awkward and hilarious misunderstandings that pass between strangers and lovers alike, and that turn ordinary lives upside down. Ferris shows to what lengths we mortals go to coax human meaning from our very modest time on earth, an effort that skews ever-more desperately in the direction of redemption. The stories in THE DINNER PARTY are about lives changed forever when the reckless gives way to possibility and the ordinary cedes ground to mystery. And each one confirms Ferris's reputation as one of the most dazzlingly talented, deeply humane writers at work today.

Описание:
Please Come Back To Me is another remarkable collection by an author the New York Times has called "a writer with an unsparing bent for the truth."
In "The Nurse and the Black Lagoon" a woman tries to understand why her teenage son has been accused of a disturbing crime. In "Testimony" an adult daughter visiting her father does everything she can to keep herself from remembering what she believes she cannot bear. A man returns to his hometown in "Dear Nicole" to face the realization that he married the wrong woman out of misplaced guilt. "Oregon" portrays the internal struggle of a woman who, having years ago betrayed a secret entrusted to her by her best friend, is tempted to repeat the mistake with the same friend's daughter. And in the collection's novella, "Please Come Back To Me," a young widow seeks faith and comfort--in both natural and supernatural realms--after her husband's death leaves her alone to care for their infant son. On the surface, Jessica Treadway's stories offer realistic portrayals of people in situations that make them question their roles as family members, their ability to do the right thing, and even their sanity. But Treadway's psychic landscapes are tinged with a sense of the surreal, inviting readers to recognize--as her characters do--that very little is actually as it seems.
Описание: Gaza Writes Back is a compelling anthology of short stories from fifteen young writers in Gaza, members of a generation that has suffered immensely under Israels siege and blockade.

Readers will be moved by the struggles big and small that emerge from the well-crafted writing by these young people, and by the hope and courage that radiate from the authors biographies.

Описание:
From Putting Mrs Dawson Back Together:
"Yes, go on ... Ann? Are you there? Ann? ... I think you have more to say, Ann."
"No ... I ... Just that you are sitting there like a stone and a purple one that is so stuck to the window that the whole room is turning purple and you don't even notice it..."
"Tell me, have you had any dreams lately?"
"I don't dream."
"Everyone dreams."
"Not me. No, wait. I did have one last night."
"And what was that?"
"A head fell off a body and rolled down a hill into flames."
"A pretty angry dream."
"I'm not angry."
"I know. Your dream is angry. Perhaps you need a rest."
This collection of four stories considers emotional fragility. Sometimes fragility is out in the open. Other times it is buried or camouflaged.
The first of the stories is the title story, "Putting Mrs Dawson Back Together."It follows a woman who has had a complete mental collapse triggered by the imminent death of a close friend. Just as Mrs Dawson receives joyful news that she wants to share with her friend, she is afraid of disrespecting her friend's pain, and this weighs heavily on her.
Unable to cope with his wife's illness, Mr Dawson settles her into a mental hospital, where she encounters a snoring roommate. This forces Mrs Dawson to escape the room and hide where the nurses can't find her.
The story "Letters" follows the one-sided correspondence of a woman who thinks she is married to the husband of another woman. The letters interest the real wife because they give brief reviews of movies, which the writer says her so-called husband should see. The real wife consults the letters before heading out to the movies.
In "A Winter Visit," an old friend arrives unannounced, bringing her husband and two children. The friend discusses her suicide attempt, which obviously didn't succeed.
"The Painter" is working inside a woman's house on a ladder. While she is outside dealing with a fallen tree, she hears sobbing from inside the house. The painter says his wife just called and wants a divorce.

Описание: Dragons of the West. Dragons are powerful, archetypal creatures that appear in the ancient myths and fairytales of all cultures and peoples around the world. As such, they are enduring symbols in the human imagination as creatures that inspire great fear, awe, respect, and even wisdom. Myths are the projections of the complex and fascinating aspects of our own human nature, mirrored back to us in the form of storytelling. As such, we are encouraged to connect with all of the different characters and creatures in myths as aspects of our own psyches. This is no less true of dragons. Dragons, and other beastly creatures, often
