Book Description
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • “[Dunthorne’s] precocious talent and cheerful fondness for the teenage male are showcased in Submarine. . . . Oliver’s voice is funny and dead-on.”—The New York Times Book Review(Editors’ Choice) At once a self-styled social scientist, a spy in the baffling adult world, and a budding, hormone-driven emotional explorer, Oliver Tate is stealthily nosing his way forward through the murky and uniquely perilous waters of adolescence. His objectives? Uncovering the secrets behind his parents’ teetering marriage, unraveling the mystery that is his alluring and equally quirky classmate Jordana Bevan, and understanding where he fits in among the mystifying beings in his orbit. Struggling to buoy his parents’ wedded bliss, deep-six his own virginity, and sound the depths of heartache, happiness, and the business of being human, what’s a lad to do? Poised precariously on the cusp of innocence and experience, Oliver Tate aims to damn the torpedoes and take the plunge. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Joe Dunthorne's Wild Abandon. Praise for Submarine “[Joe Dunthorne is] probably destined to be compared with Mark Haddon and Roddy Doyle.”—The Miami Herald “This absolutely winning debut novel isn’t so much a coming-of-age tale as it is a reflection on what it means to be a certain age and of an uncertain mind.”—Los Angeles Times “A brilliant first novel by a young man of ferocious comic talent.”—The Times (London) “Preternaturally wise, slightly devious and highly entertaining.”—USA Today

1 Life… (Twice)2
Author: Aishwarya Ravi Kumar
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1639575685
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
One Life (Twice)2 is about the four new chances at life that I have got. Having been diagnosed with bipolar depression, psychosis, mild agoraphobia, panic attacks and anxiety disorder, this book talks about my journey as a fighter rather than a survivor. It also talks about certain self-help mechanisms, some insights about how people around us can support us, certain questions that people like us usually wonder about, the stigmas, dilemmas, superstitions, taboos that revolve around mental illness and the importance of seeking medical help. It becomes quite a challenge to ascertain that the time hasn’t ended for us, and this revelation occurred to me when I reflected on the saying, “Life is precious.” It was then that I realised that I have to save myself first and not end my life if I wanted to share my story and make people discern that they sure have company on the cruise. “Hope might lose a life, but life will never lose hope,” this is my mantra which helps me fight every second of life... ARK is the acronym of my name and I decipher it as, Acceptance, Reflection and being a Knight in the quest for learning life.
