Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism#1 Book of the Year from Brain PickingsNamed a best book of the year by NPR, Newsweek, Slate, Pop Sugar, Marie Claire, Elle, Publishers Weekly, and Lit HubA dazzling work of biography, memoir, and cultural criticism on the subjec…t of loneliness, told through the lives of iconic artists, by the acclaimed author of The Trip to Echo Spring.When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her mid-thirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by this most shameful of experiences, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving from Edward Hopper's Nighthawks to Andy Warhol's Time Capsules, from Henry Darger's hoarding to David Wojnarowicz's AIDS activism, Laing conducts an electrifying investigation into what it means to be alone, illuminating not only the causes of loneliness but also how it might be resisted and redeemed.Humane, provocative, and moving, The Lonely City is a celebration of a strange and lovely state, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but intrinsic to the very act of being alive.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A wonderfully colourful and attentive novel that subtly combines the tangible pains of the race with the echoes of war' Sunday ExpressIn 1928, five cyclists from Australia and New Zealand made history by forming the first English-speaking team to ride in the Tour de France.This group sets of…f on a 5,476 kilometre journey that sees them ride out beyond their limits. No one is certain they will make it to the finish line - least of all our narrator, a New Zealander racing on a dangerous mix of drink, drugs and damaged memories. Travelling through a northern France still scarred by the First World War, his self-imposed test of endurance takes him ever closer to his own final, invisible mile.A visceral, psychological novel, The Invisible Mile is an extraordinary re-imagining of the race as a mediation on memory, on the creation of mythology, history, guilt and love.'The Invisible Mile relates this odyssey with symbolic force and poetic finesse' Sydney Morning Herald'Revealing the force of man's courage and will in the face of physical and psychological challenge, this is a brave and beautiful novel' Megan Bradbury, author of Everyone is Watching'A blood, sweat and tears odyssey that becomes a searing hinterland for returning memories, absence and loss.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From one of America's greatest comic novelists, a hilarious new novel about aging, family, loneliness, and love The Bergman clan has always stuck together, growing as it incorporated in-laws, ex-in-laws, and same-sex spouses. But families don't just grow, they grow old, and the clan's matriar…ch, Joy, is not slipping into old age with the quiet grace her children, Molly and Daniel, would have wished. When Joy's beloved husband dies, Molly and Daniel have no shortage of solutions for their mother's loneliness and despair, but there is one challenge they did not count on: the reappearance of an ardent suitor from Joy's college days. And they didn't count on Joy herself, a mother suddenly as willful and rebellious as their own kids.The New York Times-bestselling author Cathleen Schine has been called 'full of invention, wit, and wisdom that can bear comparison to [ Jane] Austen's own' (The New York Review of Books), and she is at her best in this intensely human, profound, and honest novel about the intrusion of old age into the relationships of one loving but complicated family. They May Not Mean To, But They Do is a radiantly compassionate look at three generations, all coming of age together.
