Why Little Things Make All the Difference

The Power of Small

&ldquo;The second novel by Lawrence Douglas gave me delight on every page. I&rsquo;m always careful about calling something Nabokovian, mostly because I&rsquo;ll see that in a review and read the book in question and it&rsquo;s fine but not as good as Nabokov, you know? But this one is Nabokovian&mdash;there is no other word.&rdquo; &mdash;Ed Park, New York Magazine, &ldquo;The Year in Books&rdquo;&ldquo;The Vices&hellip;is the sharp, stylish, suspenseful tale of Oliver Vice, a charismatic philosopher and art collector, and the provincial academic who falls under his spell. More than a campus novel, it is an elegant parable about the allure of self-invention.&rdquo; &mdash;Adam Kirsch, The New Statesman, &ldquo;Books of the year 2011&rdquo;&ldquo;Playful and profound&hellip;As dazzlingly constructed as it is limpidly told, The Vices is a duplicitous delight that feels at home in this age of YouTube, e-mail, and the myriad other ways we consume and connect in this world&hellip;Lawrence Douglas gives conclusive evidence that he&rsquo;s the real thing.&rdquo; &mdash;Ed Park, Bookforum &ldquo;Smart...always fascinating...The novel&rsquo;s biggest concern is how we construct personal narratives that accommodate slippery and unsteady acts of memory.&rdquo; &mdash; A.P.D. Lawrie, Times Literary Supplement&ldquo;In its deft exploration of the way identity, especially Jewish identity, is constructed and performed, The Vices does justice to its elegant Nabokovian inspiration.&rdquo; &mdash;Adam Kirsch, Tablet Magazine &#160;&ldquo;A good summer read&hellip;Making literal the phrase &lsquo;literary sleuthing,&rsquo; [The Vices] combines the genres of academic and mystery novel.&rdquo; &mdash;The Buffalo News &ldquo;Douglas delivers a probing and skillful examination of the conundrums of identity&hellip;masterfully kaleidoscopic&hellip;[The Vices] presents the reader with a stunning new vista.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;&ldquo;An intriguing, thought-provoking exploration of a man desperately unhappy to be living his own life.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist&#160;&ldquo;Darkly comic&hellip;[Douglas] masterly crafts a family portrait, where the paint has cracked to reveal human truths.&rdquo; &mdash;Royal Young, InterviewMagazine.com&ldquo;Douglas elaborates on the inherent tensions that make up the contested borders of identity&hellip;This mystery is deceptively philosophical and introspective.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;This brilliant, funny book will appeal to lovers of Jewish fiction and those who hunger to unravel mysteries.&rdquo; &mdash;ForeWord Reviews&ldquo;At its core a mystery, The Vices is a witty, provocative, and devilishly entertaining book. Sometimes philosophical, sometimes wildly comic, Lawrence Douglas&rsquo;s latest novel plays yearning against satisfaction, prestige against authenticity, and, ultimately, the desire to be someone else against the difficulty of inhabiting self.&rdquo; &mdash;Sabina Murray, author of The Caprices and Forgery&ldquo;Though The Vices unfolds the complexity of its whodunit with an appealing urbanity and wryness, its central virtue is the compassionate intelligence of its depiction of pain: the anguish and secret costs of self-reinvention, and in the face of history&rsquo;s miseries and deceits, the unexpected consolations of uncertainty.&rdquo; &mdash;Jim Shepard, author of Like You&rsquo;d Understand, Anyway &#160;&ldquo;Crisply told and vigorously compelling. Douglas&rsquo;s bright sense of humor camouflages but does not ultimately conceal his haunting story&rsquo;s menacing undertow.&rdquo; &mdash;Brad Leithauser, author of The Art Student&rsquo;s War&ldquo;Charming and exquisite, The Vices is an urbane comedy imbued with the eccentric verve of a Wes Anderson film and the piquant nostalgia of Brideshead Revisted. &#160;It&rsquo;s also a gripping tale of fraud, compromise, and the inventive ways we survive the nightmare of history.&rdquo; &mdash;Zachary Lazar, author of Sway&ldquo;A sparkling, witty, smart-set comedy, the kind where human tragedy is best faced with sexy repartee, fine cuff links, and a game of Ping-Pong.&rdquo; &ndash;Commonwealth Magazine

Strange Pilgrims

&#8220;What distinguishes Imperial America by John Newhouse from so many other books on a similar theme is the elegance of the prose and the acuity of the argument. . . . There&#8217;s fresh material on political changes in Iran, the threat posed by North Korea, and Washington&#8217;s apparently boundless enthusiasm for Ariel Sharon&#8217;s vision of the Middle East.&#8221; &#8211;Los Angeles Times Book Review&#8220;This useful book is packed with compelling little details showing just how many wise and experienced people warned others at one time or another that Iraqi regime change was needless at best, dangerous at worst. . . . persuasive and thorough.&#8221;--The Washington Post Book World   &#8220;A well-timed and elegantly written reminder of the international dynamics that were in play long before Sept. 11, 2001, and will require diplomats&#8217; attention long after American infantrymen leave Iraq. . . . [An] admirable study.&#8221; &#8211;The New York Times Book Review&#8220;Newhouse is worth listening to. . . . His experience in government on arms control and European issues has taught him much about how government works.&#8221;  --The Economist

Imperial America

"A thrilling read&#8230;Berntsen did his best to try to get bin Laden; many in Washington have yet to do theirs." &#8212;Washington Post&#8220;Gripping . . . this honest account doesn&#8217;t do the president any favors.&#8221; &#8212;Frank Rich, New York Times&#8220;The hunt for Osama bin Laden is the story of courageous CIA officers, like Gary Berntsen, repeatedly finding him and U.S. political and military leaders refusing to kill him. Jawbreaker&#8212;which CIA leaders tried to suppress to protect America's bipartisan political elite and its military sycophants&#8212;precisely describes the eleventh such opportunity since 1998, and again shows that uniformed bureaucrats masquerading as U.S. generals let bin Laden escape.&#8221; &#8212;Michael Scheuer, author of Imperial Hubris and Through Our Enemies&#8217; Eyes&#8220;Jawbreaker is a real page turner . . . Berntsen was the CIA&#8217;s &#8216;go to guy&#8217; when it came to leading in Afghanistan, owing to his exceptional operational and leadership skills in situations involving the threat of immediate danger. Berntsen is brave and bold and a true American hero.&#8221; &#8212;Cofer Black, former Chief of the Central Intelligence Agency's Counterterrorism Center

Advance Praise for The Restless Heart&#8220;Ronald Rolheiser examines the pain of loneliness and the meaning of our longing with compassionate precision. The book is not simply an exercise in personal spirituality but comes at a time when great social and political harm is done because many of us cannot endure and enjoy who we are in our loneliness. A much needed antidote to the uneasiness of the times.&#8221; &#8212;Alan Jones, dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, and author of  Living the Truth and Seasons of Grace.&#8220;Ronald Rolheiser has emerged as one of the finest spiritual writers of our time.  In this new edition of his earliest work he tills the soil where the holy longing is cultivated, nurtured, and sustained: the lonely human heart. He holds the key to help loosen the suffocating grip of loneliness so that our deepmost desires flourish and find rest in God.&#8221;&#8212;Michael Downey, Cardinal&#8217;s Theologian, Archdiocese of Los Angeles Praise for The Holy Longing&#8220;Rolheiser&#8217;s program for Christian spirituality is reminiscent of the best work of Henri Nouwen and Daniel Berrigan.&#8221; &#8212;Publishers Weekly&#8220;A master weaver is at work here . . . I found my soul on every page.  At last we have a guide who helps us know what to do with the fire of desire within us.  At last a comprehensive, lifegiving approach to sexuality.  At last a dynamic understanding of how the paschal mystery plays in our own lives.  At last a way to weave love for the poor and struggling people with the highest mystical love of God&#8212;I love this book.&#8221; &#8212;Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking

Smeets and Tynagel have the gifts of Renaissance artisans and the aesthetic of 21st-century visionaries." ~New York Magazine"The Book of Job (Rizzoli, $150) is quite a sight to absorb.

This 348-page biblically inspired book -- really, it looks like a leather-bound Bible with gilded pages -- arrives inside a slip-case covered with prints of insects.
