&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a fresh ride.&rdquo;--New York Times &#160; &ldquo;With&#160;somethingtofoodabout,&#160;Quest (aka Philadelphia's Ahmir Thompson) dives head first into the topics that get chefs talking: What is creativity? How are art and food related? What does the future hold for food and cooking? Questlove sits down with some of the most exceptional chefs in America, including Daniel Humm (Eleven Madison Park), Dominique Crenn (Atelier Crenn), Michael Solomonov (Zahav), and Daniel Patterson (Coi). Questlove himself plays an equal part in getting the answers, providing examples and references to his own life as a musician and creator as he talks with food luminaries&#160;about the thorny questions surrounding creativity.&rdquo;--Eater &#160; &ldquo;Somethingtofoodabout&#160;is really a passion project. For Questlove, it&rsquo;s not about the food business, but rather the ideas, the concepts, and the imaginations behind the chefs who feed him. There are no recipes and no how-tos. For Questlove, the only how-to you need to know is how to appreciate and understand the taste, the process, and the journey of the idea.&rdquo;--Vogue &#160; &ldquo;An enjoyable, frequently surprising exploration of creativity.&rdquo;--Kirkus Reviews

An elegant, unnerving novel that illuminates the personal consequences of war.&#8221; &#8211;Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times&#8220;Exquisite. . . . Bock&#8217;s achievement here is in creating characters with believably ambiguous edges, vulnerable people whose understanding of themselves and others is incomplete.&#8221; -Janice P. Nimura, The Washington Post Book World&#8220;Bock has shined an illuminating searchlight on the terra incognita where the personal and the political intersect.&#8221; &#8211;Dan Cryer, Newsday&#8220;A splendid, powerful book, written with authority and admirable control.&#8221; &#8211;St. Louis Post-Dispatch&#8220;Assured and compassionate.&#8221; &#8211;Pico Iyer, Harper&#8217;s &#8220;[T]his brilliant novel traces the lingering effects of the Hiroshima bombing . . . showing how war binds victor and victim as surely as scar tissue closes a wound.&#8221; &#8211;Rick Waddington, Minneapolis Star-Tribune &#8220;Reconciliation, responsibility, blame and regret shift and fall in different patterns throughout this moving and thoughtful novel.&#8221; &#8211;Barbara Fisher, The Boston Globe&#8220;Dennis Bock began The Ash Garden long before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, but it&#8217;s impossible now not to read his haunting debut novel outside the glare of that tragedy. . . .

The Ash Garden

&ldquo;This picture book for adults explores the ways in which grief lays us low, but also can bring us out to discover the strength of the communities we belong to. When Roz comes to visit Sandra after Sandra&rsquo;s mother passes away, she brings her cat, Marie. Marie, in the way of so many cats, disappears the day she arrives, and Roz is desperate to find her again. The two women make flyers and Sandra reluctantly leaves her home to help Roz canvas the neighborhood, along the way meeting with others who grieve their own losses. With colorful drawings, Hern&aacute;ndez brings the community alive, while Cisneros writes her heroine&rsquo;s way through the discovery that there is a way to emerge from sadness into memory. And yes, there is a happy ending.&rdquo; &mdash;Kathy Ward, Juneau Empire  &#160; &ldquo;In Have You Seen Marie?, we are invited into a look of the pain Cisneros&rsquo;s experiences upon losing her mother. . . . This loss does not allow her to see tomorrow because she cannot remove herself from the remorse of today.&#160;During her grieving process, Cisneros receives company from her friend Roz who brings along her cat, Marie.&#160;As the two women are rejoined, they find themselves without Marie. The story takes on a new sense of urgency as the two friends take to the streets to find the missing cat. As the search for Marie ensues, we are introduced to the colorful experience and occupants of San Antonio.&#160; Each of these introductions allows us to take part in the environment that exists&#160;to remind us that there is life all around us. . . . Cisneros&rsquo;s gift of storytelling and Ester Hern&aacute;ndez&rsquo;s illustrations bring to life the story about death, grief, and the desire to move forward. This book is a wonderful gift to share with someone who is experiencing the pain of losing a loved one.&rdquo; &mdash;Jasmine Col&oacute;n, Modern Latina&ldquo;Award-winning Cisneros tells the story of her search for a runaway cat that parallels her journey through grief after the death of her mother. . . . This is a charmingly illustrated tale, rich in metaphor, and a solace to anyone who has felt the despair of losing someone dear.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Diane Prokop, Portland Book Review&#160;&#160;&ldquo;Warmly comforting . . . Cisneros has crafted a story that not only explores loss but also the journey back, creating a book that&rsquo;s unique and uplifting. As Rosalind and the narrator search a beloved cat, Marie, they encounter a culturally rich and diverse community&mdash;each person with his or her own story and preoccupations, his or her own sadness. Each of these characters seems to understand that the search is about more than finding Marie. . . . Hern&aacute;ndez&rsquo;s illustrations are wonderfully detailed and capture the uniqueness of the neighborhood and the spirituality of the journey. . . . Cisneros and Hern&aacute;ndez invite the reader to visually enjoy the story, to listen to the music of the words. In the afterword, Cisneros explores how she dealt with the death of her mother, and how the act of creation nourished her as she grieved.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Matt Mendez, El Paso Times&#160;&#160;&ldquo;A magical journey . . . A short, sweet, illustrated story about two friends searching for a lost cat. The women scour an eclectic neighborhood based on Cisneros&rsquo; own quarter of San Antonio, Texas, encountering a series of characters and small adventures . . . Cisneros has folded powerful themes into this seemingly simple fable: confronting and accepting the loss of a loved one, the importance of community, the presence of spirituality in our lives and the way that imagination and art can illuminate reality. . . . The inhabitants we meet in Cisneros&rsquo; story are equally eclectic, and many have suffered their own losses. . . . They come to life not only in Cisneros&rsquo; poetic nuggets of prose, but in Ester Hern&aacute;ndez&rsquo;s sweetly realistic color illustrations. The book glows with Cisneros&rsquo; affection for [her] neighbors. [She] hopes the book will comfort others dealing with loss.&rdquo; &mdash;Jordan Levin, The Miami Herald &ldquo;Have You Seen Marie? is the size of a lunchbox sandwich, but it offers lasting nourishment. The illustrated fable starts as a search for a friend&rsquo;s missing cat, but quickly becomes a meditation on loss, a way for the main character, also named Sandra, to process her mother&rsquo;s death. As Sandra and her friend Roz search San Antonio for Marie, questioning not just neighbors but also their pets and the neighborhood squirrels, Sandra goes on her own inner quest to make peace with her profound&#160;grief. Marie? is an orphan adventure tale for grown-ups with the soothing cadence of a children&rsquo;s picture book. Like the best bedtime stories, it both honors the darkness around us and keeps the darkness at bay. . . . This book will surely be pressed into many bereft&#160;hands. Cisneros captures the experience of grief with moving and visceral clarity; lines like &lsquo;Every day I woke up and felt like a glove left behind at the bus station&rsquo; take the reader straight into the heart of loss, while charming descriptions of San Antonio characters and the neighborhoods they inhabit keep us grounded in the world Cisneros knows so&#160;well. Hern&aacute;ndez&rsquo;s drawings fill in the blanks left by the vibrant but spare text . . . Sandra&rsquo;s neighbors remind her she is part of a community that understands loss, that can support her through loss. This reminder is one of the greatest gifts of the book: We may feel like abandoned gloves in our grief, but when we share our stories with one another, we realize we&rsquo;re in the same lost-and-found box&#160;together.&rdquo; &mdash;Gayle Brandeis, San Francisco Chronicle&#160;&#160;&ldquo;Cisneros is perhaps best-known for The House on Mango Street, a story about a young Latina who leaves behind her barrio for a chance at a better life and is considered a classic of Chicano literature. . . . Have You Seen Marie? [is] a tale about a woman&rsquo;s search for a cat who goes missing in the wake of her mother&rsquo;s death. It&rsquo;s a fable for grieving grown-ups, [one] she hopes will be medicine for hearts broken from loss. . . . Artist Hern&aacute;ndez represented the unique and colorful characters, all based on Cisneros&rsquo; neighbors. They make up the quirky King William district of San Antonio, Texas, where the story is based.&rdquo; &mdash;Cindy Y. Rodriguez, CNN&#160;&#160;&ldquo;In Have You Seen Marie?, the narrator searches for her lost cat in her neighborhood. But she&rsquo;s not just looking for Marie, she&rsquo;s looking a piece of herself. . . . The book&rsquo;s weight comes as the narrator realizes that she also misses her mother, who passed away a few months earlier. Marie provides a unique glimpse into a quirky neighborhood and heartfelt look into grieving.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;The Hispanic Reader&#160;&#160;&ldquo;A real-life bedtime story for grownups, a gently soul-stirring meditation on the universality of grief, and the healing power of community and nature. . . . Have You Seen Marie?, filled with Cisneros&rsquo; poetic words and Hern&aacute;ndez&rsquo;s vibrant illustrations, is also a love letter to the quirky neighborhood where Cisneros has lived for 20 years. . . . Charming.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Agnes Torres Al-Shibibi, The Seattle Times&ldquo;Cisneros, perhaps best known for The House on Mango Street, is an author whose descriptive, lyrical prose and expressive treatment of the Chicano cultural experience has catapulted [her] to nearly unparalleled fame. Her new release, Have You Seen Marie?&mdash;expressively wrought and full of picturesque illustrations of San Antonio and its colorful characters by visual artist Ester Hern&aacute;ndez&mdash;is at its heart a parable for adults, whose themes of death, mourning, and loss take on new meaning when presented within a simple tale about a cat gone astray. In the process of writing it, [Cisneros] found healing in the aftermath of her own mother&rsquo;s passing.&rdquo; &mdash;Nina Terrero, NBC Latino &ldquo;Best-selling Cisneros chronicles a search for a runaway cat that turns into a way to work through grief and discover community. . . . The deliberately informal, rough-edged illustrations give a nice sense of Cisneros&rsquo; multicultural, bohemian neighborhood . . . [T]his warmhearted tale offers comfort to anyone coping with the loss of a loved one.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus

"If a manic J.G. Ballard and a depressed David Lodge got together, they might produce something like The Quantity Theory of Insanity. But Will Self's world is all his own; it is both exotic and institutionalized, full of dread and dowdiness and entirely unsuspected comedy." --Martin Amis"The outright excellence of this book cannot be denied. The Quantity Theory of Insanity is of such high caliber that it could strike a new literary rivalry between the U.K. and the United States." --Los Angeles Reader

&#8220;In [A Hero of Our Time], Lermontov managed to create a fictional person whose romantic dash to cynicism, tiger-like suppleness and eagle eye, hot blood and cool head, tenderness and taciturnity, elegance and brutality, delicacy of perception and harsh passion to dominate, ruthlessness and awareness of it, are of lasting appeal to readers of all countries and centuries.&#8221; &#8211;from the Translator&#8217;s Foreword by Vladimir Nabokov&#8220;[Lermontov&#8217;s] technique is surprisingly sophisticated, given the late development of the novel in Russian literature. Lermontov does not only dislocate chronology to achieve [his] result; in equally brilliant fashion he reinforces the effect by employing different contemporary literary genres . . . to create, in the end, a unified whole.&#8221; &#8211;from the Introduction by T.

The Decorated Home

&#8220;So many of us waste our lives with &#8216;when and then&#8217; thinking, believing that &#8216;when&#8217; this or that happens, &#8216;then&#8217; we will really start living and do something for God that really matters.
