David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book.If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong.When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself.With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny - it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet - and it just might be his very best.

*The international bestseller* Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough... Ella Rubinstein has a husband, three teenage children, and a pleasant home. Everything that should make her confident and fulfilled. Yet there is an emptiness at the heart of Ella's life - an emptiness once filled by love. So when Ella reads a manuscript about the thirteenth-century Sufi poet Rumi and Shams of Tabriz, and his forty rules of life and love, her world is turned upside down. She embarks on a journey to meet the mysterious author of this work. It is a quest infused with Sufi mysticism and verse, taking Ella and us into an exotic world where faith and love are heartbreakingly explored. . . 'Enlightening, enthralling. An affecting paean to faith and love' Metro 'Colourfully woven and beguilingly intelligent' Daily Telegraph 'The past and present fit together beautifully in a passionate defence of passion itself' The Times

This provocative collection of short stories charts the growth of a generation from the liberating irreverence of the late 1970s to the dilemmas of responsibility and fidelity of the 1990s. The stories resonate with Hanif Kureishi's dead-on observations of human passion and folly, his brilliant depiction of seedy locales and magical characters, and his original, wicked sense of humour.

Al abrir este volumen, nos encontramos con nuestro indómito héroe a sus 46 años, sumergido en plena crisis de la mediana edad. Pero en realidad Crumb ha vivido toda su vida marcado por episodios de ansiedad introspectivos y autoflagelantes, y estos años de madurez le sirven para depurar su agitada existencia y perfeccionar su talento artístico. El autor acompaña ahora los dibujos con textos más largos que dan muestra de su aguda capacidad de observación, como lo demuestra un extenso párrafo dedicado a un encuentro con los amigos veganos de su hermano Maxon y otro con un himno poético dedicado a la angustia vital y el envejecimiento. La mudanza de su familia en 1991 a Sauve, al sur de Francia, se refleja en algunos cambios en su obra: los retratos de muchachas estadounidenses de mejillas sonrosadas esperando a ser servidas en cafés de California dan paso a chicas en cafés franceses, también aparecen imágenes pastoriles ambientadas en la campiña gala e inquietantes escenas de mendigos en el metro. El nuevo personaje más destacado en este cuaderno de bocetos es un santón con turbante al que la joven Sophie Crumb llama Roman Dodo. Parece inspirarse ligeramente en el hermano de Robert, Maxon. Además de novias del presente y del pasado, también hace su debut Patricia Pig, una alegre híbrida humano-porcino. A medida que el artista se acerca a los 50 años, las fantasías de vuelta a la dependencia infantil de figuras femeninas fuertes e incluso de una buena muerte, llevado a lomos de un ángel joven y fuerte, nos hablan no tanto de la angustia como de la aceptación del proceso de envejecimiento. Nuestro querido cascarrabias encuentra una forma de paz, una especie de aceptación de los crueles caprichos del destino. Hasta las páginas finales, cuando se llama a sí mismo, sin saberse muy bien por qué, «pedazo de MARICA». En resumidas cuentas, otro volumen arrollador.

This stunning and comprehensive book presents acclaimed artist William Forsythe, whose work is at the intersection of performance, sculpture, and installation. Since the 1990s, parallel to his stage productions, Forsythe has developed a body of work he calls Choreographic Objects. These experimental, interactive works invite the viewer to engage with the fundamental ideas of choreography and extend Forsythe's choreographic explorations beyond the stage and skilled professionals to public spaces and the layperson. This volume considers the full breadth of his oeuvre and features contributions from leading scholars, critics, and theorists in the disciplines of visual arts, choreography, and dance. Forsythe's highly engaging voice shines through in his own writing, which enriches and deepens the scholarly essays in the book. In addition, the book features an illustrated chronology of The Forsythe Company (2005-15), the artist's dance troupe that followed his legendary tenure at Ballett Frankfurt. Generously illustrated, this volume is certain to become a reference book for Forsythe's many fans as well as an invaluable resource for students of visual art, dance, and interdisciplinary practice.

Since the thirteenth century, the Shadowhunters' Codex has been the one and only manual for Shadowhunters looking to brush up on their demon languages, learn proper stele use and discover just what exactly a pyxis is. Featured in both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices, this guide is a necessity for any young Nephilim on their journey to becoming a Shadowhunter. This is Clary's copy, and as an artist herself, she's sketched pictures of her friends and family throughout the book, and scrawled helpful advice in the margins. Of course, she couldn't exactly stop Jace or Simon from adding their thoughts either.
