![]() ![]() ![]() Hurowitz is joined in conversation by Francisco Goldman, prize-winning author of Say Her Name, The Long Night of White Chickens, Monkey Boy, and several other books. From the evolution of organized crime in Mexico to the militarization of the drug war to the devastation wrought on both sides of the border by the introduction of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, El Chapo is a gripping and comprehensive work of investigative, on-the-ground reporting. Hurowitz digs in deep beyond the legends and delves into El Chapo’s life and legacy-not just the hunt for him-revealing some of the most dramatic and often horrifying moments of his notorious career. This unputdownable book, written by a great new talent, brings El Chapo’s exploits into a focus that previous profiles have failed to capture. The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle When I reviewed Francisco Goldman's 2011 autobiographical novel, SAY HER NAME, the story of his love affair and marriage to Aura Estrada and her death in a bodysurfing accident, I described it as distinctive for the unrelenting candor of its journey through the twinned emotions of love and grief. Greenlight neighbor Noah Hurowitz builds on his revelatory coverage for Rolling Stone of El Chapo’s federal drug-trafficking trial in El Chapo, a stunning investigation of the life and legend of Mexican kingpin Joaquín Archivaldo “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera. Francisco Goldman is the author of Say Her Name, The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City Chronicle and Monkey Boy, to be published in 2019. Noah Hurowitz presents El Chapo: The Untold Story of the World's Most Infamous Drug Lord St Joseph's University (Brooklyn Voices Series). ![]() ![]() The cures he encounters range from a Tibetan-style urine tasting and Ayurvedic therapy in India, to the “wait and see” attitude of the Brits, to the surgical zeal of the US, the arch villain of the piece. His book details his international quest for relief for his stiff shoulder. It is engaging because Reid, a long-time correspondent for the Washington Post, knows how to tell a good story. ![]() Reid’s The healing of America is an engaging but thin epistle for universal health insurance coverage in the US. ![]() ![]() New York Times bestselling author Roxane Gay has written with intimacy and sensitivity about food and bodies, using her own emotional and psychological struggles as a means of exploring our shared anxieties over pleasure, consumption, appearance, and health.Īs a woman who describes her own body as “wildly undisciplined,” Roxane understands the tension between desire and denial, between self-comfort and self-care. I tried to erase every memory of her, but she is still there, somewhere.… I was trapped in my body, one that I barely recognized or understood, but at least I was safe." I buried the girl I was because she ran into all kinds of trouble. "I ate and ate and ate in the hopes that if I made myself big, my body would be safe. ![]() A searingly honest memoir of food, weight, self-image, and learning how to feed your hunger while taking care of yourself. ![]() ![]() With that said, do not write this off as some kind of political agenda on the part of the author, where it’s all about bashing the right-side and praising the left-side. The author writes a well thought-out story about two boys with two very different backgrounds, and likely more so than most, as one’s mom and the other’s dad are running against each other for the role of U.S. I might have said that before about another book, but it doesn’t make this any less important to read. ![]() It is not just another queer book about two guys falling in love. ![]() The State of Us by Shaun David Hutchinson is a book that is definitely current with the times. ![]() ![]() I trust that none will object to the candor of the personal confessions herein contained as uncalled for. The para graphs in brackets are mostly after-thoughts, and are thus separated to leave apparent the original connection. I have judged it preferable to leave the marks of the successive stages in writing it, as they indicate some facts that may be of interest. Have I a right to my thought, or have I not? If not, where am I deceived? If I have, why is not mine the true thought for all men? It will be seen that there is not perfect unity of plan throughout. I present my evidence to the tribunals of last resort - the public and the press - and ask them to try the case and render their verdict. The object of this little autobiography is to show the form and con sistency of the thought that is in my mind. Now it is impossible for me to reduce my thought to the bounds which others have been willing to con cede. ![]() ![]() ![]() Every effort I have made hitherto to come to an understanding with my fellow-men, on things which I see to proceed from them, and which give my life its whole shape, has drawn out nothing more than blank denials of all knowledge of the things I spoke of. Excerpt from The Piling of Tophet and the A True Life History This work is given to the public as a lunatic's defense of his position. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dorian is happy enough to be errand-boy for Jann's peculiar correspondence. Irene herself has met the maid's brother, which the village network has immediately inflated into a long-term romance. It's a way to relieve the poverty her deceased father left them in, as Simone is now housekeeper to Lazarus Jann, a mysterious elderly businessman who lives in a mansion peopled by countless automata, and the isolated shell of what used to be his healthy wife. Good and bad luck combined have forced Irene and her family – mother Simone and insular younger brother Dorian – to live in the Normandy village of Blue Bay. ![]() Summary: The third of Zafon's teen adventures, and a third classically-minded drama of hidden truths and mysterious arcana. ![]() ![]() ![]() Its the best-for-last bedtime book with the ending that kids will want. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America. Snuggle Puppy, a valentine from parent to child, is perfect for reading (or. King, “Alligator Stroll” starring Josh Turner, and “Tyrannosaurus Funk” (animated) sung by Samuel L. Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning “One Shoe Blues” starring B.B. ![]() Three of her six albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold) and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children’s music. ![]() More than 70 million of her books have been sold, “mostly to friends and family,” she says. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over sixty children’s books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children’s author, songwriter, producer, and director. Starring a sweet and cuddly doggy cast,?this delightful rhyming story is a great big hug in book form packed with charming language, engaging illustrations, and an irresistible sense of fun.įuzzy little Snuggle Puppy, I love you. This bright, chunky board book is the ultimate love song from parent to child featuring a die-cut cover and Sandra Boynton’s signature style! ![]() ![]() ![]() The wish-fulfilling title and sun-washed, catalog-beautiful teens on the cover will be enticing for girls looking for a diversion. Besides the mostly off-stage issue of a parent’s severe illness there’s not much here to challenge most readers-driving, beer-drinking, divorce, a moment of surprise at the mothers smoking medicinal pot together. ![]() In the background the two mothers renew their friendship each year, and Lauren, Belly’s mother, provides support for her friend-if not, unfortunately, for the children-in Susannah’s losing battle with breast cancer. Belly’s dawning awareness of her sexuality and that of the boys is a strong theme, as is the sense of summer as a separate and reflective time and place: Readers get glimpses of kisses on the beach, her best friend’s flirtations during one summer’s visit, a first date. Han’s leisurely paced, somewhat somber narrative revisits several beach-house summers in flashback through the eyes of now 15-year-old Isabel, known to all as Belly.īelly measures her growing self by these summers and by her lifelong relationship with the older boys, her brother and her mother’s best friend’s two sons. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For critiquing the British government’s blunt tools to measure happiness via self-reported surveys, the lack of a response with strong empirical data was disappointing. Probably the largest miss in the whole book doe me was a lack of engagement with contemporary psychology and neurological research. For a critical Marxist scholar, as well, I found her bland dismissal of the market economy generally lazy and relying on received wisdom. These are questions more or less left for the end of the penultimate chapter, which itself is something of a litany of contemporary wrongs and injustices. Where can collective happiness really be found? Where have we found it before? How do we reclaim it? But as a reader, constantly moving from text to text with little analysis brought in by the author herself felt cheeky at best and avoidant at worst. The range of texts touched on this book is incredible and in the footnotes there are a plethora of wonderful sources that I will enjoy reading far into the future. ![]() For a book about “radical happiness” it spends the bulk (+80%) of it’s time synthesising the writings of others about why we are not happy. Segal is a beautiful writer, but this is a book that loses its way and fails to live up to its original intention. ![]() |
