  Binding the Ghost (eBook, ePUB)

  Binding the Ghost is both manifesto and example of a new variety of reading that centers a theological perspective in considering what literature actually does. Neither dogmatic nor apologetic, sectarian or denominational, this mode of reading acknowledges the inherently charged strangeness of writing and fiction, whereby authors have the ability to seemingly create entire universes from words alone.Ed Simon considers the theological depth, resonance, and mystery of the acts of reading and writing. His lyrical, incisive essays cover subjects such as the incarnational poetics of reading a physical book as opposed to reading online, the historical relationship between monotheism and the development of the alphabet, how the novel and Protestantism developed interiority within people, the occult significance of punctuation, and the functional similarities between poetry and prayer. Binding the Ghost presents a humane sacralization of reading and writing that takes into account the wonder, enchantment, and mystery of the very idea of poetry and fiction.

  The One Inside , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min

  The first work of long fiction from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright - a tour de force of memory, mystery, death, and life. This searing, extraordinarily evocative narrative opens with a man in his house at dawn, surrounded by aspens, coyotes cackling in the distance as he quietly navigates the distance between present and past. More and more, memory is overtaking him: in his mind he sees himself in a movie-set trailer, his young face staring back at him in a mirror surrounded by light bulbs. In his dreams and in visions he sees his late father - sometimes in miniature, sometimes flying planes, sometimes at war. By turns, he sees the bygone America of his childhood: the farmland and the feedlots, the railyards and the diners - and, most hauntingly, his father's young girlfriend, with whom he also became involved, setting into motion a tragedy that has stayed with him. His complex interiority is filtered through views of mountains and deserts as he drives across the country, propelled by jazz, benzedrine, rock and roll, and a restlessness born out of exile. The rhythms of theater, the language of poetry, and a flinty humor combine in this stunning meditation on the nature of experience, at once celebratory, surreal, poignant, and unforgettable. With a foreword written and read by Patti Smith ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Pullman, Patti Smith - foreword.

  Letting Go: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 162min

  Foreword Reviews 2018 Indies Finalist - war & military"This short-fiction collection examines various characters' reactions to death, past regrets, and other life changes. Throughout these brief tales, Joy maintains a smooth prose style with a light touch that acts as a counterpoint to the darkness. Short edgy tales with depth." (Kirkus Reviews)"You can have your Italian and Scandinavian contemporary troubadours of modern life, Len Joy knows our American one. Especially he knows men, and as a woman reader, I like getting inside men's heads. No fancy stuff. No mumble jumble interiority. Len Joy is sold Americana." (Sandra Scofied, National Book Award nominee)It took me eight years, nine months, and three days to write my first novel American Past Time. My second novel Better Days was published in 2018 and my new novel Everyone Dies Famous will be published in 2020.Someone asked me what the theme of my collection was. I hate those questions. I'm really bad at theme. I don't think about a theme when I'm writing the story. I'm just trying to tell a story that interests me (and hopefully someone else).Here's a tagline for some of the stories: Riding a Greyhound Bus into the New World - a widower searches for the innocent boy he used to beDalton's Good Fortune - a down-on-his-luck ex-soldier gets a new perspective on his life from a fortune tellerThis Train Makes All the Stops - a man tries to adapt to a new world after his wife diesLetting Go - a woman in an emergency room waiting for a word on her husband, reflects on her marriageMost of these stories are about people who have lost something and are trying to find a way to move on with their lives. I hope you enjoy them. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David L.J. George. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/215293/bk_acx0_215293_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  Hap and Hazard and the End of the World: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 478min

  Diane DeSanders's genius lies in her ability to capture the intimate interiority of a very particular childhood while at the same time interrogating larger questions of class, race, and religion. Hap and Hazard and the End of the World is a gorgeous, profoundly original novel. --Dawn Raffel, author of Carrying the Body and The Secret Life of Objects "Rollicking, tilted, and transporting. As the young narrator tries to manage her fraying family-war-wounded father, suffering mother, misbehaving relatives galore-DeSanders takes us deeper, always with such tenderness and beautiful observation into the ways we shape a narrative that keeps us whole." --Victoria Redel, author of Loverboy and Before Everything For Dick and Jane, Dallas after World War II is a place of promise and prosperity: the first home air conditioners are making summertime bearable and Dick’s position at his father’s business, the Cadillac dealership, is assured. Jane has help with the house and the children, and garden parties and holiday celebrations are spirited social affairs. For the oldest of their three daughters, however, life is full of frustrating mysteries. The stories the adults tell her don’t make sense. Too curious for comfort, she finds her questions only seem to annoy them. Why won’t they tell the truth about Santa? What is that Holy Spirit business, and what is the difference between an angel and a ghost? Why is her mother often so tense and sad? And why does her father keep flying into violent rages? Hap and Hazard and the End of the World is an intimate, finely crafted novel about the innocence and vulnerability of childhood and the dangers posed by adults who cannot cope with life’s complexities. It is also about the ingenuity born of loneliness and neglect, and the surprising, strange beauty of the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dara Rosenberg.

  Song for Almeyda and Song for Anninho (eBook, ePUB)

  "Jones's great achievement is to reckon with both history and interiority, and to collapse the boundary between them."-Anna Wiener, THE NEW YORKER From the highly acclaimed author of Corregidora and The Healing-two epic poems, the love songs of fugitive slaves, set in 17th-century Brazil; continuing the unforgettable journey told in Gayl Jones's masterwork, Palmares (2021). Gayl Jones, the novelist Toni Morrison discovered decades ago and Tayari Jones recently called her favorite writer, offers two books in one with this volume of poetry. Jones renders the saga of Palmares, a foundational tale in the annals of colonial terrorism and Black resistance, in verse, told in the voices of the characters in her epic novel Palmares. In the late 17th century, the fugitive slave enclave of Palmares was destroyed by Portuguese colonists. Amid the flight and re-enslavement of Palmares's inhabitants emerges the love story of Almeyda and Anninho. In Song for Anninho, Almeyda moves between a dark present, in which she is once again enslaved and abused by a terrible captor, and memories of her lover, Anninho, whom she believes to have been killed. Song for Almeyda, released now for the first time, is told in the voices of Anninho and his fellow warriors. Fans of Corregidora (one of the New Yorker's "Best Books We Read in 2020" picks), which tracked the legacy of enslavement, and Palmares will especially appreciate these verses. Brimming with intimacy, history, and revolution, the poems collected serve as a declaration of decolonial love.

  You Can Be the Last Leaf (eBook, ePUB)

  Translated from the Arabic and introduced by Fady Joudah, You Can Be the Last Leaf draws on two decades of work to present the transcendent and timely US debut of Palestinian poet Maya Abu Al-Hayyat. 

Art. Garlic. Taxis. Sleepy soldiers at checkpoints. The smell of trash on a winter street, before "our wild rosebush, neglected / by the gate, / blooms.” Lovers who don't return, the possibility that you yourself might not return. Making beds. Cleaning up vomit. Reading recipes. In You Can Be the Last Leaf, these are the ordinary and profound—sometimes tragic, sometimes dreamy, sometimes almost frivolous—moments of life under Israeli occupation. 

Here, private and public domains are inseparable. Desire, loss, and violence permeate the walls of the home, the borders of the mind. And yet that mind is full of its own fierce and funny voice, its own preoccupations and strangenesses. "It matters to me,” writes Abu Al-Hayyat, "what you're thinking now / as you coerce your kids to sleep / in the middle of shelling”: whether it's coming up with "plans / to solve the world's problems,” plans that "eliminate longing from stories, remove exhaustion from groans,” or dreaming "of a war / that's got no war in it,” or proclaiming that "I don't believe in survival.” 

In You Can Be the Last Leaf, Abu Al-Hayyat has created a richly textured portrait of Palestinian interiority—at once wry and romantic, worried and tenacious, and always singing itself.
