History for the Twenty-First Century

Beyond the Canon

&ldquo;A book meant to be cherished.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Some writers simply possess the Gift. No matter what they bring out. . . . That&rsquo;s certainly the case with Terry Pratchett.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post Book World&ldquo;In the history of comic fantasy, Pratchett has no equals for invention or for range.&rdquo; &mdash;The Wall Street Journal&#160;&ldquo;Clever . . . insightful. . . . [Pratchett&rsquo;s] wry wit is as good as gold.&rdquo; &mdash;The Boston Globe&ldquo;Pratchett is one of the great comic writers and storytellers of our time.&rdquo; &mdash;The Guardian&ldquo;One of the giants in the world of fantasy literature.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Daily News&ldquo;You can&rsquo;t call what Pratchett does satire&mdash;it&rsquo;s far too good-natured for that&mdash;but he has a satirist&rsquo;s instinct for the absurd and a cartoonist&rsquo;s eye for the telling detail.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Telegraph (London)&#160;&ldquo;A short story collection covering the entire career of one of our most prolific, and beloved, fantasy writers. . . . One of the main draws of&#160;[A Blink of the Screen]&#160;for serious fans, or aspiring writers, will be the chance to trace the evolution of Pratchett&rsquo;s craft&mdash;but there&rsquo;s plenty here for readers who have never heard of him to enjoy.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;A little absurdism, a little wordplay, a lot of inventive fantasy, a lot of heart, and a deep-seated fascination with the way technologies change societies. . . . Pratchett can easily fill an entire bookcase by himself. . . . But he has kept the piquant sense of someone playing with language, with new worlds, and with the familiar old tropes that he enjoys upending.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR&ldquo;What Pratchett does is not just great, but unparalleled. In five hundred years, it won&rsquo;t be the Nobel laureates who are being studied. It&rsquo;s going to be this guy.&rdquo; &mdash;Brandon Sanderson, Tor.com&#160;&ldquo;One of the greatest comic novelists of all time, in his way the equal of Wodehouse and Waugh.&rdquo; &mdash;GQ (UK)&#160;&ldquo;The master of humorous fantasy . . . [Pratchett] should be recognized as one of the more significant contemporary English-language satirists.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly

"Trethewey bears witness to the daily urgencies of black existence, capturing in her lines the poignant music of hope and persistence.&#160;The pleasure of rediscovering a career&rsquo;s worth of Trethewey&rsquo;s exquisite and best-known work alongside her newest and most heart-wrenchingly personal is immense. It also reveals how keenly all of us are shaped by loss, and how much America, too, has been forged by the ever-present shard of grief."&mdash;Tracy K. Smith, O Magazine&nbsp;&nbsp; "Standing as a pivotal monument to the career of one of America&rsquo;s greatest living poets, these new and collected poems are a must-have for fans of poetry. Here, the reader is privy to some of the most compelling poems that Trethewey has produced during her career as well as new poems that have been inspired by looking at her work in this context. An incredibly moving collection that illuminates a life&rsquo;s work in poetry."&mdash;The Root, "Best Books in 2018"&nbsp;&nbsp; "Natasha Trethewey&rsquo;s&#160;Monument&#160;is a glorious example of what results when one listens &mdash; and writes &mdash; brilliantly. Trethewey blends a distinctive voice with striking images and perspectives. Those who are new to her work will marvel at her ability to address difficult subjects &mdash; slavery, the challenges of mixed-race families and the murder of her mother &mdash; with precision and compassion. These pages clearly demonstrate why Trethewey, whose honors include the Pulitzer Prize and two terms as poet laureate of the United States, is one of our preeminent poets. They also remind us that her work is loved because she refuses to forget those who&rsquo;ve been lost and the struggles of those who remain."&#160;&mdash;Elizabeth Lund,The &#160;Washington Post&nbsp;&nbsp; "The Mississippi-born poet Natasha Trethewey has an exalted r&eacute;sum&eacute;...but her poems are earthy; they fly close to the ground...Trethewey pivots knowingly, in her poetry, between hard times and good ones. The delicate branches of her verse run you along a harrowing borderline of substance and illusion...[Trethewey has an] insistent intellect and [a] gift for turning over rich soil...The human details in Trethewey&rsquo;s work &mdash; those crabs, that music, those cracked palms &mdash; are like the small feathers that give contour to a bird&rsquo;s wing. Monument is a major book, and in her best poems this poet soars."&mdash;Dwight Garner, New York Times&nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;Deftly woven&hellip;both expansive and intimate&hellip;the twenty years&rsquo; worth of poetry presented in Monument feels incredibly timely. Trethewey flings open the door&hellip;invites us to commune with her through some of the hardest truths of both her life and this country&rsquo;s history.&rdquo; &ndash;Guernica &nbsp;&nbsp; &ldquo;This collection of old and new poems by the former poet laureate of the United States includes Trethewey&rsquo;s powerful reflections on the way our nation contends with its diversity and memorializes its past. Think you&rsquo;re not a poetry person? Think again. Trethewey&rsquo;s verse is as accessible as it is brilliant.&rdquo;&mdash;Ron Charles,&#160;The Washington Post&nbsp;&nbsp;"The arrival of&#160;Monument&#160;is perfectly timed, or specific to this moment...what stands out beyond that is how many ways Trethewey finds to revisit and restructure history: her own, but also the histories of black people in America.&#160;The book&rsquo;s title is a tribute to many things, both the immovability of America&rsquo;s obsession with monuments and the task of building and rebuilding one&rsquo;s self in an attempt to obscure grief.&#160;Her use of history as a driving force behind her poet

"The central events of the story—the plot to kill [Nazi Reichsprotektor Reinhard] Heydrich, the assassination itself and the staggering reprisals taken by the Nazis—are approached from several different angles, heightening both the tension and the power of the narratives. Brennan's command of facts is absolute and his ear for dialogue is pitch-perfect. The author is unafraid of making readers spend a great deal of time with some very unsavory people...[a]n extremely impressive debut." — Kirkus Reviews
