Paperback. Zustand: Good. How far would you go to have real freedom? To have true autonomy of both mind and body? The narrator of Failure to Comply wants self-determination at all costs, and they want you to know what it did, in fact, cost them. Their story is just a little hard to convey, as they're not entirely sure where, or even when, they are. Set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future, this literary sci-fi novel presents a world where humans have been unshackled from disease and their basest desires thanks to the genetic engineering and societal supervision of RSCH--an inscrutable entity with unimaginable power (including the ability to literally shape reality).

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. From national security expert, bestselling author, and award-winning journalist William Arkin comes the debut novel, History in One Act.It's a fresh retelling of 9/11, filled with revelation and insight that will shock readers into the world of al Qaeda as it grows in strength and moves forward to undertake its world-changing attacks. And it infiltrates the secret domain of American intelligence, which has its own plans, seeking to use what is coming as the means to achieve its own holy grail of national security. We all know how it ends, but as lives meet and events unfold, we come to understand that 9/11 was neither the beginning nor the end, that everyone has a reason for what they do, that individuals do matterand, indeed, that history can be created in one act. Arkin answers questions nobody seems to be askingeven 20 years later: Why did it happen? Who were these people? Can we ever hope to defeat terrorism if we dont understand those who wish us harm?In this unique work of friction (fully footnoted and based on original documents), an alternate record of true history is presented, not just peering into the minds of those involved, but into our own worldone that challenges our views of the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and the events of that momentous day.Arkins formidable career, as Army intelligence analyst, as human rights scholar, as military consultant, and finally as journalist, uniquely equips him to bridge two very different worlds. His expert telling shows how individuals can now wage war, where disruption comes from small groups rather than organized governments, and where nobody's hands are clean. He forces the reader to grapple with a new understanding for why this world-changing attack happened in the first place, and how our indifference to the human strivings and grievances of the perpetrators made us blind then and makes us blind today.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. For children, the world is possibility. But grown-ups would do well to remember that possibility extends to places full of light and steeped in darkness, with plenty of other spaces in between. Children are human after all, and as such, they are sometimes innocent, sometimes cruel, and frequently impossible for others to truly understand.In her debut graphic novel, The Nightingale That Never Sang, Juliana Hyrri gives us stories that are stolen from real life, seen through a childs eyesand do not look away when it comes to the scary parts. If it can happen out there, it can happen within these pages, too.Her visual style comprises the smudged, scribbled, and smooth lines one might expect from a (very) young artist, but also pulsing, boundless backgrounds painted with near-manic energy. If there is any true purity to be found here, its only in the reflection of how a child feels, before those feelings are tempered with adult ideas of what ought to be revealed in polite conversation.Nightingale takes us along for the ride as children discover and dream their world, through glimpses of tadpoles and tent forts, field trips and forest ventures, stray cats and sleepovers. On the surface, these are scenes anyone might recognize from their own childhood, but its really a book filled with the blank spaces that grown-ups wont talk about, scribbled over with childhood logic.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The Menninger Foundation is a clinic, sanatorium, and psychiatric school founded in 1919. Known as a beacon of health and reform, there have also been long-running rumors of controversy, abuse, and manipulation. Legendary Hollywood starlets like Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland sought treatment there, and still today, many celebrities secretly spend time there.John Henry Timmis IV, the son of a wealthy family from Chicago's northern suburbs, was diagnosed a psychopath after a string of rebellious misdemeanors as a teenagerpossession of marijuana, prostitution, and theft. Timmis frequented the Menninger Clinic between the ages of 15 and 17. He repeatedly ran away and got recaptured, was held in solitary for extended periods, and forced to endure excruciatingly dull group therapy sessions. He recounts these experiences with adolescent braggadocio, blurring intensely personal confessions and exaggerated fantasies, in hopes of mythologizing himself and claiming a spot in the canon of rebellious youth.Later in life, as JTIV, Timmis recorded sincere autobiographical songs in a style he deemed "Destructo-Rock," and was acknowledged in The Guinness Book of World Records for creating the longest film ever made, The Cure for Insomnia. He passed away in 2002, leaving us his songs, the film, and this document to piece together his wild and bizarre story. After Timmis, the son of a wealthy family from Chicago's suburbs, was diagnosed a psychopath as a teenager, he frequented the controversial Menninger Clinic. He repeatedly ran away and was recaptured, held in solitary for extended periods, and forced to endure excruciatingly dull group therapy sessions.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Danny B. is the latest novel from Tim Kinsella, based on a true story from the Pacific Northwest of addiction, dead bodies, misfits, and one guy trying to make sense of it all. Kinsella wrote the book with the blessing (and help) of his friend, the title character: Danny B Danny didnt feel at home at home (especially with a roommate who wouldn't stop building shit at 6 am), but the pinball arcade and the strip club welcomed him. Its Portland, 2004, and with the fog of his mothers unsolved murder years earlier still hanging over him, Danny joined Narcotics Anonymous. The motorcycle gang that ran this N. A. group got him a job as a first-call responder for the city morgue, requiring him to regularly walk in on the worst day of a strangers life. And so Danny is forced to navigate the increasingly-maddening choices of early recovery, the cosmic shifts that don't come when you expect them, the meetings where everyone's a bundle of unconscious reflexes trying to untangle their own shit, and the painful paradox of simultaneously being independent and being accountable to others.Based on the true story of becoming oneself, Danny B. is an impressionistic drift that pauses to zoom in on minute particulars: cigarettes stolen from the dead, energy drinks at dawn, and the specific way streetlights flash across a face when you're driving through a de-peopled city during the dreaming hours.This is a book written in sharp, stuttering fragmentscovering grief and geography and what it means to outrun your past when your job is literally picking up corpses. You might even finally understand what it's like to be awake inside a dream, or at least what it costs to try.
