Book Description
An Esquire Best Cookbooks of 2020 and a Washington Post Best Food Books of 2020 “In epigrammatic, nearly poetic diction, Grant . . . reminds us of how transformative the junctures where food and life collide can be.” —The New York Times Book Review “What a beautiful, rich, and poetic memoir this is . . . Like the best chefs, Phyllis Grant knows how to make a masterpiece from a few simple ingredients: truth, taste, poignancy, and love.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat, Pray, Love Phyllis Grant’s Everything Is Under Control is a memoir about appetite as it comes, goes, and refocuses its object of desire. Grant’s story follows the sometimes smooth, sometimes jagged, always revealing contours of her life: from her days as a dancer struggling to find her place at Julliard, to her experiences in and out of four-star kitchens in New York City, to falling in love with her future husband and leaving the city after 9/11 for California, where her children are born. All the while, a sense of longing pulses in each stage as she moves through the headspace of a young woman longing to be sustained by a city into that of a mother now sustaining a family herself. Written with the transparency of a diarist, Everything Is Under Control is an unputdownable series of vignettes followed by tried-and-true recipes from Grant’s table—a heartrending yet unsentimental portrait of the highs and lows of young adulthood, motherhood, and a life in the kitchen.

Writing Philosophical Autoethnography
Author: Alec Grant
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000957616
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Writing Philosophical Autoethnography is the result of Alec Grant’s vision of bringing the disciplines of philosophy and autoethnography together. This is the first volume of narrative autoethnographic work in which invited contributing authors were charged with exploring their issues, concerns, and topics about human society, culture, and the material world through an explicitly philosophical lens. Each chapter, while written autoethnographically, showcases sustained engagement with philosophical arguments, ideas, concepts, theories, and corresponding ethical positions. Unlike much other autoethnographic work, within which philosophical ideas often appear to be "grafted on" or supplementary, the philosophical basis of the work in this volume is fundamental to its shifting content, focus, and context. The narratives in this book, from scholars working in a range of disciplines in the humanities and human sciences, function as narrative, conceptual, and analytical exemplars to act as a guide for autoethnographers in their own writing, and suggest future directions for making autoethnography more philosophically rigorous. This book is suitable for students and scholars of autoethnography and qualitative methods in a range of disciplines, including the humanities, social and human sciences, communication studies, and education.

Book Description
Two best friends. One wild night. Zero takebacks. Hyper-competent Lily Xin juggles her school, her family, and her magic like a pro, selflessly giving her time and energy to others, just like a good witch should. When her bestie Lex gets into trouble, she rushes to save him. It works, until a wild night leads them hurtling straight toward One-Night-Standsville. Lily knows dating Lex would be a huge mistake. So why can’t she stop thinking about him naked? Easy-going Lex Salem has always thought of Lily as the twin sister he never had, but one night of magically-charged passion makes him realize everything is different now. But he can’t stop time to figure out why Lily is so resistant. He’s too busy being stalked by an evil vampire with a grudge against his family. Despite their “it’s complicated” relationship status, Lily and Lex team up to defeat the demonic forces trying to use Lex to fulfill an ancient prophecy. It will take all their smarts, magical talents, and bad puns to save the day. Oh, and they have to stop kissing each other. Like, seriously, the apocalypse is coming. The third novel in The Brothers Salem, a contemporary paranormal romance series where a trio of demon hunters—armed with spells and snark—are on a mission to slay some demons, break some curses, and get their girls. Unless the girls get them first.
