“A brilliant newcomer ... Cohen is not only a talented writer; she is an artist.”—Andre Aciman, New York Times-bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name, the novel that inspired the Academy Award-winning film A love letter to classic literature and an illuminating look at newfound adulthood Ava Gallanter is the librarian in residence at the Lazarus Club, an ancient, dwindling Manhattan arts club full of eccentric geriatric residents stuck in a long-gone era. Twenty-five-year-old Ava, however, feels right at home. She leads a quiet life, surrounded by her beloved books and sequestered away from her peers. When Ava’s enigmatic friend Stephanie returns after an unplanned year abroad, the intoxicating opportunist vows to rescue Ava from a life of obscurity. Stephanie, on the hunt for fame and fortune, promises to make Ava’s dream of becoming a writer come true, and together they start a Victorian-inspired literary salon at the Lazarus Club. However, Ava’s romanticized idea of the salon quickly erodes as Stephanie’s ambitions take the women in an unexpected—and precarious—direction. In this humorous yet keenly observant coming-of-age story, Cohen brings us into a boisterous literary world bathed in hubris and ambition. With eloquent prose and affecting storytelling, The Little Clan is both a wickedly fun yet sharply insightful look at friendship, feminism and finding yourself in your twenties.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Despite conventional wisdom, the biggest risk confronting our generation isn’t economic, political or climate risk. It’s decision risk, and the failure to hear who and what really matters. Your decisions impact others, yet in today’s noisy world of digital distraction, disinformation and data overload we’re more vulnerable than ever to hearing less and less. In the dash to decide, we sacrifice nuance for convenience, misinterpret people and misunderstand situations, accelerating a rush to misjudgement. The result? A catalogue of human errors, unheard voices and tone-deaf leadership. Tuning out relevant voices degrades decisions, damages reputation and squanders opportunity, amplifying modern activism, rampant polarisation, scandals and scams. Now that can change. In Tune In, award-winning Nuala Walsh champions understanding behaviour as an insurance policy against mishearing, misinformation and misjudgement. This timely masterclass stands apart in its original treatment of 'deaf spots,' the hidden judgement killers that stop us from hearing what really matters. It not only explains your worst mistakes but equips you to prevent future error and the sting of regret. Armed with a new science-led PERIMETERS framework and dozens of 'sonic' strategies that rely on human intelligence, not artificial intelligence, you’ll discover the 10 traps that bind our reasoning. Each is illustrated by a cast of Wall Street titans, sports legends, serial killers, presidents, astronauts, entrepreneurs, entertainers and exonerees. By tuning in, you’ll hear what others don’t and secure advantage. You’ll stand out rather than miss out, becoming a more admired and influential Decision Ninja. Good judgement is at a premium - and your decisions matter. It's time to Tune In.

Body & Soul
Author: Frank Conroy
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547729014
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 463
Book Description
This saga of a son of the working class who grows into a piano prodigy is “hypnotically readable . . . The best story I know of in a long, long time” (Vanity Fair). As a boy, Claude Rawlings looks up through the grated window of his basement apartment to watch the world go by. Poor, lonely, supported by a taxi-driver mother whose eccentricities spin more and more out of control, he faces the terrible task of growing up on the margins of life, destined to be a spectator of that great world always hurrying out of reach. But there is an out-of-tune piano in the small apartment, and in unlocking the secrets of its keys, as if by magic, Claude discovers himself. He is a musical prodigy. Body & Soul is the story of a young man whose life is transformed by a gift. The gift is not without price—the work is relentless, the teachers exacting—but the reward is a journey that takes him to the drawing rooms of the rich and powerful, private schools, a gilt-edged marriage, and Carnegie Hall. Claude moves through this life as if he were playing a difficult composition, swept up in its drama and tension, surprised by its grace notes. Music, here, becomes a character in its own right, equaled in strength only by the music of Frank Conroy’s own unmistakable and true voice. Bristling with character and invention, Body & Soul is Dickensian in its range and richness. This is a novel with all the emotional appeal and moral gravity of a classic bildungsroman, but with a tone as contemporary as a jazz riff—an unforgettable achievement by one of the great writers of our time.

The Death of the Book
Author: John Lurz
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823270998
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
An examination of the ways major novels by Marcel Proust, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf draw attention to their embodiment in the object of the book, The Death of the Book considers how bookish format plays a role in some of the twentieth century’s most famous literary experiments. Tracking the passing of time in which reading unfolds, these novels position the book’s so-called death in terms that refer as much to a simple description of its future vis-à-vis other media forms as to the sense of finitude these books share with and transmit to their readers. As he interrogates the affective, physical, and temporal valences of literature’s own traditional format and mode of access, John Lurz shows how these novels stage intersections with the phenomenal world of their readers and develop a conception of literary experience not accounted for by either rigorously historicist or traditionally formalist accounts of the modernist period. Bringing together issues of media and mediation, book history, and modernist aesthetics, The Death of the Book offers a new and deeper understanding of the way we read now.
