The Dust That Falls from Dreams A Novel Louis de BernieresFrom the acclaimed author of Corelli's Mandolin: a sumptuous, sweeping,powerfully moving new novel about a British family whose lives and loves areindelibly shaped by the horrors of World War I and the hopes of its aftermath. In the brief golden years of the Edwardian era, Rosie McCosh and her threesisters are growing up in an idyllic household in the countryside south of London.With their neighbors, the two Pitt brothers and the three Pendennis boys, they are"The Pals." But these days of childhood camaraderie and adventure are brought toan abrupt end by the outbreak of World War I, in which some will lose their lives,some their loved ones, some their faith, and all of them their innocence. We followthem through the years of the war--in the trenches, in air battles, in the hospitalswhere the women serve with as much passion and nearly as much hardship as themen at the front--and its aftermath as the modern world slowly emerges out ofthe ashes of the old. We come to know intimately this vibrant and eclectic cast ofcharacters, and to see how the connections of their childhood reach deep intotheir adult lives, the fate of each reverberating in the lives of the others. And at thecenter is Rosie--in love with one of The Pals and beloved by another--who, in theend, will emerge from tragedy into a profound understanding of what it means tolove, not just deeply, but well.

BEST-SELLING HOUSE AUTHOR: Corelli's Mandolin was a nationwide best seller and a hitfilm, and a reader's group favorite in paper, selling more than 600,000 copies to date.Birds Without Wings appeared on the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, andBook Sense best seller lists. REVIEWS: De Bernières is beloved in the UK, and we will certainly have wonderful reviewsfrom their publication, scheduled for July 2015. READING GROUPS AND BOOK CLUBS: This is an excellent candidate for book clubs: lush,rich, and epic, with a cast of characters crying out to be discussed and obsessed over. DOWNTON ABBEY FANS: Brief, episodic chapters make this very swift reading, but at thesame time it immerses us in this extraordinary time: the war, of course, but also theoptimism of the Edwardian age; the influenza pandemic of 1918; the change in the attitudetoward women in society (the suffrage movement, women at the front as nurses anddrivers, the first women given degrees from Oxford); class distinctions blurred by theshared experience of the war.A POWERFUL, IMMERSIVE, EPIC NOVEL: The descriptions of the trench warfare and airbattles are powerfully visceral, detailed in descriptions of both the physical and theemotional environments.

"A novel of romantic obsession... An intricate historical narrative." --The New York TimesBook Review"Louis de Bernières is in the direct line that runs through Dickens and Evelyn Waugh... He hasonly to look into his world, one senses, for it to rush into reality, colors and touch and taste."--A. S. Byatt"A master storyteller... De Bernières has reached heights that few modern novelists everattempt." --The Washington Post Book World "De Bernières is so inventive--celebratory but never sentimental." --Newsweek"[Birds Without Wings] is told in a beautiful lyrical style and with deep insight... Marvelouslyengaging." --Chicago Tribune

In the Mind Fields Exploring the New Science of Neuropsychoanalysis Casey SchwartzA thorough, witty, and accessible journalistic exploration of the culture of modernpsychiatry, focusing on the nascent reconciliation of neuroscience andpsychoanalysis--historically opposed approaches to understanding how humanbeings think, feel, and behave. As part of a pioneering program to unite the disciplines of psychoanalysis andneuroscience, Casey Schwartz spent 2006 immersed in the masterworks ofpsychoanalytic theory at the Anna Freud Centre in London, and 2007 studying thebrain among Yale's cutting-edge neuroscientists. She came away with a clearpicture of the distance between the two fields: while neuroscience is lacking inattention to the lived experience of the individual, psychoanalysis is often tooephemeral, arbitrary, and subjective. Armed with this awareness, Schwartz set outto study the main players in the ongoing struggle to reconcile these disciplines. Inthe Mind Fields is the product of her rigorous study and her remarkable access tothe lives and work of several pioneers in the budding field of neuropsychoanalysis.Ultimately, she presents us with a trenchant argument for the molding of theculture of psychiatry into a hybrid shape that will allow the two approaches tothrive together.

VOICE: Schwartz lends her vibrantly fresh and funny voice to a subject that is ofteninaccessible. Readers will love her not only for her mastery of the topics at hand, but alsofor her wit.SUBJECT: Schwartz has been actively engaged in the moment of neuropsychoanalysis'screation.OPPORTUNITY: Schwartz is willing to pitch sections of the manuscript at various magazinesand journals--she wants to get the word out. She is also scheduled to appear on theJonathan Schwartz radio show.

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: New York, NY Author Hometown: New York, NYCASEY SCHWARTZ has worked as a staff writer at Newsweek/The Daily Beast, where shecovered neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry. Her writing has also appeared in The NewYork Times and The New York Sun.

Negroland A Memoir Margo JeffersonAt once incendiary and icy, mischievous, and provocative, celebratory and elegiac,a deeply felt meditation on race, sex, and American culture through the prism of theauthor's rarefied upbringing and education among a black elite concerned todistance itself from whites and the black generality, while tirelessly measuring itselfagainst both. Born in 1947 in upper-crust black Chicago--her father was for years head ofpediatrics at Provident, at the time the nation's oldest black hospital; her motherwas a socialite--Margo Jefferson has spent most of her life among (call them whatyou will) the colored aristocracy, the colored elite, the blue-vein society. Since thenineteenth century they have stood apart, these inhabitants of Negroland, "a smallregion of Negro America where residents were sheltered by a certain amount ofprivilege and plenty."

Reckoning with the strictures and demands of Negroland at crucial historicalmoments--the civil rights movement, the dawn of feminism, the fallacy ofpost-racial America--Jefferson brilliantly charts the twists and turns of a lifeinformed by psychological and moral contradictions. Aware as it is ofheart-wrenching despair and depression, this book is a triumphant paean to thegrace of perseverance.

AUTHOR: Winner of a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, Margo Jefferson was for years a theaterand book critic for Newsweek and The New York Times. Her writing has appeared in,among other publications, Vogue, New York, and The New Republic. She is author of OnMichael Jackson (2006) and is professor of writing at Columbia University. She is highlyregarded and beloved in journalistic circles.

Finale A Novel of the Reagan Years Thomas MallonFrom the author of the acclaimed novel Watergate, a galvanizing new novel aboutthe tumultuous administration of the most consequential and enigmatic president ofmodern times. Finale takes readers to the political gridiron of Washington in 1986; thewealthiest enclaves of southern California; and the volcanic landscape of Iceland,where the president engages in two almost apocalyptic days of negotiation withMikhail Gorbachev. Along with Soviet dissidents, illegal arms traders, andantinuclear activists, the novel's memorable characters include Margaret Thatcher,Jimmy Carter, Pamela Harriman, John W. Hinckley, and even Bette Davis, withwhom the president long ago appeared on screen. Several figures--including ahumbled, crafty Richard Nixon; the young, brilliantly acerbic Christopher Hitchens;and an anxious, astrology-dependent Nancy Reagan--become the eyes throughwhich readers see the last convulsions of the Cold War, the AIDS epidemic, a clashof ideologies, and a political revolution. At the center of it all--but forever out ofreach--is Reagan himself, whose genial remoteness confounds his subordinates,his children, and the citizens who elected him.

OPPORTUNITY: Watergate, Mallon's last novel, enjoyed a crescendo of critical acclaim, aswell as his strongest sales to date. It was both a New York Times and a Washington PostNotable Book for 2012, a St. Louis Post-Dispatch Best Book of 2012, and a finalist for the2013 PEN/Faulkner Award. Mallon's focus in Finale on the center stage of American historywill bring even more readers.SUBJECT: Ronald Reagan's popularity remains at an all-time high, and the action of Finalegives us a remarkable and compelling perspective on his legacySURPRISE ALLY: James Ellroy is a huge fan of Mallon's. About Watergate, he said: "The bookencapsulates no less than everything...Watergate is certainly a masterpiece."

Praise for Watergate"Mallon uses his literary sensibility and mordant wit to give humanity to characters who intheir confusions and delusions staggered across the national stage . . . Let Mallon be yourarchaeologist, excavating a now distant past." --George F. Will, The Washington Post

"Gore Vidal and E. L. Doctorow were instrumental in resuscitating the historical novel genrein this country. Now that their best days are past, it is comforting to know that the patient isthriving in Dr. Mallon's capable hands." --The Miami Herald

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: Washington, D.C.THOMAS MALLON is the author of nine novels, including Henry and Clara, Dewey DefeatsTruman, Fellow Travelers, and Watergate. He is a frequent contributor to The New Yorker,The New York Times Book Review, and The Atlantic, and he was the recipient of the AmericanAcademy of Arts and Letters' Vursell prize for exceptional prose style.

Letter to His Father/Brief an den Vater Bilingual Edition Franz KafkaOne of the most astonishing and revelatory pieces of writing ever produced by thistwentieth-century literary icon, presented in both the original German and theEnglish translation. Kafka's letter to his father is at once an exploration of his relationship to hisfather, his need to write, and the source of his fear--one that his father promptsin him but that is beyond the scope of Kafka's memory and power of reasoning.There is no greater text about authority, the disfiguring effects of shame, and, inparticular, Kafka's lifelong need to have his father's unobtainable approval.

AUTHOR: Kafka is one of the greatest twentieth-century writers.OPPORTUNITY: Peter Mendelsund has designed a striking new series look for all of theSchocken Kafka titles.COMPETITION: There is only one other freestanding edition of Letter to his Father (fromlulu.com), but ours is the only bilingual edition available.INTRODUCTION: Tom McCarthy will provide a brief essay assessing Kafka's letter.

About the Author/IllustratorFRANZ KAFKA was born in Prague in 1883 and died of tuberculosis in a sanatorium nearVienna in 1924. After earning a law degree in 1906, he worked most of his adult life at theWorker's Accident Insurance Institute in Prague. Only a small portion of Kafka's writings werepublished during his lifetime. He left instructions for his friend Max Brod to destroy all of hisunpublished work after his death. Brod ignored those instructions and undertook instead topublish The Trial (1925), The Castle (1926), and Amerika (1927).

Open Heart Elie Wiesel

Now in paperback, a profoundly and unexpectedly intimate, deeply affectingsumming up of life so far, from one of the most cherished moral voices of our time. Eighty-two years old, facing emergency heart surgery and his own mortality,Elie Wiesel reflects back on his life. Emotions, images, faces, and questions flashthrough his mind. His family before and during the unspeakable Event. The giftsof marriage and children and grandchildren that followed. In his writing, in histeaching, in his public life, has he done enough for memory and for the survivors?His ongoing questioning of God--where has it led? Is there hope for mankind?The world's tireless ambassador of tolerance and justice gives us a luminousaccount of hope and despair, an exploration of the love, regrets, and abiding faithof a remarkable man.

Translated from the French by Marion Wiesel"Wiesel is an asset to humankind. He has turned despondency into a message of approvaland optimism. Wiesel packages equal parts beauty and astonishing description in animpossibly concise manner. Few authors have possessed such capacity for succinctness andbrevity with magnificent dexterity." --New York Journal of Books

"An absorbing, clear-eyed reflection on Wiesel's own mortality and a candid account of a lifelived. Open Heart is Wiesel at his most vulnerable and his most determined, and histhoughts and ideas have never been so lucidly conveyed." --The Rumpus

"The reader becomes a quiet observer of Wiesel's thoughts, which are plagued by thequestion: 'Am I ready to die?' His answer, clearly, is no. What seems like a quick and easyread actually delves deeply into the philosophical and makes you wonder: Will I be readywhen it's my time?"--The Free Lance-Star

"In Open Heart's brief chapters of spare descriptions and quiet dialogue, Wiesel reviews witheloquent and poignant clarity the entirety of his own history." --San Francisco Chronicle

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: New York Author Hometown: Sighet, RomaniaELIE WIESEL was fifteen years old when he was deported to Auschwitz. After the war hebecame a journalist and writer in Paris, and since then has written more than fifty books,both fiction and nonfiction. His masterwork, Night, was a national best seller when it wasrepublished in 2006 in a new English translation. Wiesel has been awarded the United StatesCongressional Gold Medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the French Legion of Honor'sGrand Cross, an honorary knighthood of the British Empire, and, in 1986, the Nobel PeacePrize. Since 1976 he has been the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at BostonUniversity.

Abraham The World's First (But Certainly Not Last) Jewish Lawyer Alan M. DershowitzOne of the world's best-known attorneys gives us a no-holds-barred history ofJewish lawyers: from the biblical Abraham, who argued with God on behalf of thedoomed sinners of Sodom, through modern-day advocates who have changed theworld by challenging the status quo, defending the unpopular, contributing to therule of law, and following the biblical command to pursue justice. As Alan Dershowitz sees it, the Hebrew Bible's two great examples of advocacyon behalf of problematic defendants--Abraham trying to convince God not todestroy the people of Sodom, and Moses trying to convince God not to destroy thegolden-calf-worshipping Children of Israel--established the template for Jewishlawyers for the next four thousand years. Whether because throughout historyJews have found themselves unjustly accused of crimes ranging from deicide toritual child murder to treason or because the biblical exhortations regarding"justice, justice, shall you pursue" have been implanted in the Jewish psyche,Jewish lawyers have been at the forefront of the battles against tyranny, inadvocating for those denied due process, in negotiating for just and equitablesolutions to complex legal problems, and in the efforts to ensure a fair trial foranyone accused of a crime. In this survey of Jewish lawyers throughout history, Dershowitz profiles Jewishlawyers both wellknown and unheralded, admired and excoriated, victorious anddefeated--and, of course, gives us some glimpses into the gungho practice of lawDershowitz-style. Louis Brandeis, Theodor Herzl, Judah Benjamin, Max Hirschberg,Rene Cassin, Bruno Kreisky, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Elena Kagan are just a fewof the "idol-smashers, advocates, collaborators, rescuers, and deal-makers" whoseadvocacy helped to change history. Dershowitz's concluding thoughts on thefuture of the Jewish lawyer--given today's rates of intermarriage andassimilation--are presented with the same thought-provoking insight,shrewdness, and candor that are the hallmarks of more than four decades of hiswritings on the law and how it is (and should be!) practiced.

Not in God's Name Confronting Religious Violence Rabbi Jonathan SacksIn this groundbreaking work of biblical analysis and interpretation, one of the mostadmired religious leaders of our time shows that religiously inspired violence hasas its source misreadings of the texts of the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, andthe Koran. When religion becomes a zero-sum conceit--i.e., my religion is the only"right" path to God, therefore your religion is by definition "wrong"--violencebetween peoples of different beliefs is the only natural outcome, argues RabbiSacks. But by looking anew at seminal biblical texts in the Book of Genesis--inwhich we find the foundational stories of all three Abrahamic faiths--Rabbi Sacksoffers an entirely different understanding of God's multiple relationships: withJacob, patriarch of Judaism; with Ishmael, patriarch of Islam; and with Esau, whoseblessing is understood to confirm God's relationship with monotheists from otherfaiths and overarching relationship with all of humanity. By analyzing the textsthat recount how Abraham's immediate descendants resolved their various siblingrivalries, Rabbi Sacks teaches us a powerful lesson in the existence of multiplepathways to God. "We are not all the same," he declares. "There is no one faith thatencompasses the plenary truth of human wisdom... The belief that onefaith--ours--holds the key to salvation deserves to be challenged, not justbecause it has led to so much persecution and bloodshed in the name of God, butbecause it attempts to confine God to one religion, one way, one image ofmankind. God cannot be so confined and remain the God of transcendence, theGod-without-an-image who systematically defies our attempts to capture Him incategories of human understanding... Making space for that which is other thanmyself is not a doctrine of religious relativism. It is, rather, the humility that saysthere are things I will not, cannot, understand and that I must leave to God." Rabbi Sacks's bold statement of our need to look with new eyes at specificscriptural passages from within each of the Abrahamic monotheisms--passagesthat, when interpreted literally, can lead to hatred, violence, and war--is aneloquent, clarion call for people of goodwill from all faiths to join together to endthe misunderstandings that threaten to destroy us all.

Dissent and the Supreme Court Its Role in the Court's History and the Nation's ConstitutionalDialogue Melvin I. UrofskyFrom revered judicial authority--author of Louis D. Brandeis; Division and Discord; and Supreme Decisions--a major book that looks at the role of dissent in theSupreme Court and the meaning of the Constitution through the greatest andlongest lasting (226years) public policy debate in the country's history, amongmembers of the Supreme Court, between the Court and the other branches ofgovernment, and between the Court and the people of the United States. Melvin Urofsky writes of the necessity of constitutional dialogue as one of theways in which we as a people reinvent and reinvigorate our democratic society. InDissent and the Supreme Court, he explores the great dissents throughout theCourt's 225 year history. He discusses in detail the role the Supreme Court hasplayed in helping to define what the Constitution means, how the Court's majorityopinions have not always been right, and how the dissenters, by positingalternative interpretations, have initiated a critical dialogue about what a particulardecision should mean. This dialogue, Urofsky writes, is sometimes resolvedquickly; other times it may take decades before the Court adjusts its position.Louis Brandeis's dissenting opinion about wiretapping became the position of theCourt four decades after it was written. The Court took six decades to adopt thedissenting opinion of the first Justice Harlan in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)--thatsegregation on the basis of race violated the Constitution--in its decision in Brownv. Board of Education (1954).

An important, timely book that looks at how constitutional development in the UnitedStates during the past two and a quarter centuries has been a discourse among the courts,the Congress, the presidency, and the public, and shows how key to the constitutionaldialogue is the dissent, the voice that says "Wait! This is not the right answer." A book thatexplores the great dissents, those that scholars call the canon. The author's reputation as a major constitutional historian, scholar, and observer of the USSupreme Court (A March of Liberty: A Constitutional History of the United States is the"best and most complete textbook of U.S. Constitutional history in print" -Judith KellaherSchafer, Tulane University)A crucial book sure to be discussed in legal and political worlds given this age of incivilityand extreme ideologies. Dissent and the Supreme Court shows how reasoned argumentand dissent have been central to our constitutional system and how it still continues in theface of all of the discord around it.Acclaim for Urofsky's previous book, Louis D.

Here and There Leaving Hasidism, Keeping My Family Chaya DeitschA heartfelt and inspiring personal account of a woman raised as a LubavitcherHasid who leaves that world without leaving the family that remains within it. Even as a child, Chaya Deitsch felt that she didn't belong in the Hasidic worldinto which she'd been born. She spent her teenage years outwardly conforming tobut secretly rebelling against the rules that tell you what and when to eat, how todress, whom you can befriend, and what you must believe. Loving her parents,grandparents, and extended family, Chaya struggled to fit in but instead feltangry, stifled, and frustrated. Upon receiving permission from her bewildered butsupportive parents to attend Barnard College, she discovered a wider world inwhich she could establish an independent identity and fulfill her dream of a lifeunconfined by the strictures imposed upon her by a belief system that she hadnever bought into, a life that would be filled with the secular knowledge andculture that were anathema to her friends and relatives in Crown Heights,Brooklyn. As she gradually shed the physical and spiritual trappings of Hasidiclife--the long skirts and long-sleeved blouses, the rules of kashrus, themeticulous observance of the Sabbath and the Jewish holidays--Chaya foundherself torn between her desire to be honest with her parents about who she nowwas and her need to maintain loving relationships with the family that she still verymuch wanted to be part of. As she navigated the complexities of her new life, Chaya and her parentseventually came to an understanding that was based on unqualified love and ahard-won but fragile form of acceptance. With honesty, sensitivity, andintelligence, Chaya Deitsch movingly shows us that lives lived differently do nothave to be lives lived apart.

The Familiar, Volume 2 Into the Forest Mark Z. DanielewskiFrom the universally acclaimed, genre-busting author of House of Leaves comes thesecond volume of The Familiar, a page-turning novel of brilliant imagination. In The Familiar: Volume 2, the lives of the disparate and dynamic ninecharacters begin to draw together and intersect in inexplicable ways: slowly,steadily, inevitably. . . . Once again, at the center, is 12-year-old Xanther. Her newcat is now firmly in her care but strange changes have begun to afflict her. Worsethan the pain she feels when separated is how the world around her seems to beopening, whether doors and windows, visions and sounds, or questions and ideas.Xanther is beginning to glimpse something she doesn't understand butunequivocally craves--the only thing that will bring her relief and keep her newcompanion alive.

VOLUME 1: The first Familiar book will publish in May 2015. Fan anticipation is high, andreaders are already analyzing Mark's social media posts for clues.AUTHOR: Mark Z. Danielewski has gained a huge cult following in the decade since Houseof Leaves, and every new work is eagerly anticipated by his readers. His reputation hasgrown as well: Only Revolutions was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Award. Hisdedicated fans turned out in force in 2012 for the publication of The Fifty Year Sword.SALES: House of Leaves, published in 2000, has more than 580,000 copies in print,hardcover and paperback combined; Only Revolutions (2006) has more than 90,000 inprint, hard and paper combined LTD, and both have sold consistently year after year. UNPRECEDENTED PROJECT: Over the last nine years, Mark Z. Danielewski has revealed onlytwo things about his forthcoming project: 1) "It's about a 12-year-old girl who finds akitten" and 2) "If House of Leaves tackles the movies, Only Revolutions music, and TheFifty Year Sword the campfire story, then The Familiar will show how the novel can stalk,take down and devour the television series."

Praise for Mark Z. Danielewski"One of the most gifted and versatile writers of our time." --The Washington Post"Danielewski...isn't merely a storyteller. He creates experiences, multidimensional pieces ofart that don't conform to one genre, and that beg for physical engagement from theaudience." --The A.V. Club

Aphorisms Franz Kafka

For the first time, a single volume that collects all of the aphorisms penned by thisuniversally acclaimed twentieth-century literary figure. Kafka twice wrote aphorisms in his lifetime. The first effort was a series of 109,known as the Zürau Aphorisms, which were written between September 1917 andApril 1918 and originally published posthumously by his friend, Max Brod, in1931. These aphorisms reflect on metaphysical and theological issues--as well asthe occasional dog. The second sequence of aphorisms, numbering 41, appears inKafka's 1920 diary dating from January 6 to February 29. It is in these aphorisms,whose subject is "He," where Kafka distills the unexpected nature of experience asone shaped by exigency and possibility.

Foreword by Daniel FrankSeries Overview

AUTHOR: Kafka is one of the greatest twentieth-century literary figures, revered for his stories, parables, aphorisms, andletters.EDITION: This is the first time that all of Kafka's aphorisms will be published in a single volume.FEATURE: An introduction by Daniel Frank that explores echoes between Kafka's aphorisms and the work of the firstaphorist, the pre-Socratic Heraclitus.

The Mare A Novel Mary GaitskillFrom the author of the National Book Award-nominated Veronica: her most poignantand powerful work yet--the story of a Dominican girl, the white woman whointroduces her to riding, and the horse who changes everything for her. Velveteen Vargas is eleven years old, a Fresh Air Fund kid from Brooklyn. Herhost family is a couple in upstate New York: Ginger, a failed artist on the fringe ofAlcholics Anonymous, and her academic husband, Paul. They wonder what it willmean to "make a difference" in such a contrived situation. Mary Gaitskillilluminates their changing relationship with Velvet over several years, as well asVelvet's powerful encounter with the horses at the stables down the road,especially with an abused, unruly mare called Fugly Girl. With strong supportingcharacters--Velvet's abusive mother; the eccentric horse trainer who instructsVelvet; the charismatic older boy who wakens Velvet's nascent passion--The Mareweaves together Velvet's vital city community and the privileged country world ofGinger and Paul. In Gaitskill's hands, the timeless story of a girl and a horse isjoined with the timeless story of people from different races and socioeconomicbackgrounds trying to meet each other honestly; The Mare is something raw,striking and completely original.

William Cameron Menzies The Shape of Films to Come James CurtisFrom the acclaimed film historian and biographer of Spencer Tracy, W. C. Fields,and Preston Strurges--the first book to look at the life and work of Hollywood'sgreatest production designer (a job title David O. Selznick invented for WilliamCameron Menzies's extraordinary, all-encompassing work on Gone with the Wind,which he co-directed, sketching beforehand 2,000 watercolors of the picture's everyshot regarding angle, color tone, and composition). It was Menzies--winner of the first ever Academy Award for Art Direction for twopictures jointly, and who was as well director (twenty pictures); producer (twelvepictures); set decorator (ten pictures); screenwriter--who changed the way movieswere (and still are) made in a career as production designer that spanned fourdecades, from the 1920s through the 1950s, and whose more than 90 films include: The Thief of Baghdad (1924 and 1940), Foreign Correspondent (1940), Our Town(1940), Meet John Doe (1941), Kings Row (1942), Mr. Lucky (1943), The Pride of theYankees (1943), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), Duel in the Sun (1946), It's aWonderful Life (1946), Invaders from Mars (1953), and Around the World in 80 Days(1956). He was the consummate designer of film architecture on a grand scale,influenced by German expressionism and the work of D.W. Griffith; he collaboratedwith producers including Goldwyn and Selznick; directors, among them: AllanDwan, Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks, Frank Capra, and Cecil B. DeMille. He wasknown for his visual flair and love of adventure and fantasy films--a timelessinnovator who meticulously preplanned the color and design of each film througha series of continuity sketches that made clear camera angles, lighting, and theactors' positions for each scene. Interviewing colleagues, friends, and family, and drawing on archives, amongthem the William Cameron Menzies family collection, with access to originalartwork, correspondence, scrapbooks, and unpublished writing, and with morethan 130 black-and-white and color illustrations, James Curtis has given us afull-scale portrait of an extraordinary artist in his time.

The first--and long overdue--book on the most influential of all Hollywood's art directors.Menzies, winner of the f irst Academy Award (1929) for Art Direction (The Dove, 1927;Tempest, 1928), single-handedly changed the way movies were made and influencedgenerations of filmmakers to come. He was the first American art director to develop thenow-common technique of storyboarding a film prior to production and to begin directingthrough design; one could look at Menzies's sketches and see the movie before a foot of

film was shot.The long reach of Menzies's work, influencing film-makers decades after his death, amongthem: Stanley Kubrick, Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Joel and Ethan Coen.The author's reputation as a first-rate biographer and film historian, author of SpencerTracy ("Definitive"--David Thompson), W. C. Fields ("Sympathetic andscrupulous"--Richard Schickel, New York Times Book Review).Retrospectives of Menzies's work to coincide with publication: In LA: UCLA Film Archive; inNY--Film Forum; Turner Classic Movies; much more to come.

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: Brea, CAJAMES CURTIS is the author of Spencer Tracy: A Biography; W. C. Fields: A Biography; JamesWhale: A New World of Gods and Monsters; and Between Flops: A Biography of PrestonSturges. Curtis is married and lives in Brea, California.

Drawing on new archival material and many interviews, Sebestyen reveals themajor postwar decisions as he points up the economic collapse, starvation, ethniccleansing, and displacement that followed the war. He gives a vivid, bleak, anddetailed picture of suffering of the populations from Europe to Asia. It was theyear it was decided there would be a Jewish homeland, that Europe would be splitby the Iron Curtain, independent India would become the world's biggestdemocracy, and the Chinese communists would win a civil war that positionedthem to become a great power.

Reviews from the UK:"An exceptionally involving and horrifying book . . . grindingly awful detail." --Sam Leith, The Spectator"An admirable piece of journalism . . . He reminds us that the world's miseries persisted inplenty after the defeat of the Axis." --Max Hastings, The Sunday Times"1946 is a gripping and authoritative work spanning the world: an excellent, elegant andexciting panoramic portrait of the dark world emerging from WW2." --Simon SebagMontefiore

NeuroLogic The Brain's Hidden Rationale Behind Our Irrational Behavior Eliezer J. SternbergA young neuroscientist investigates the brain's hidden logic behind our strangestbehaviors, explaining how conscious and unconscious systems interact in order tocreate our experience and preserve our sense of self. From bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiplepersonalities, the human brain is responsible for a diverse spectrum of strangethoughts and behaviors. From the outside, these phenomena are written off asbeing just "crazy," but what if they were actually planned and logical? NeuroLogicexplores the brain's internal system of reasoning, from its unconscious depths toconscious decision-making, and how it explains our most outlandish as well asour most stereotyped behaviors. Drawing on current research in neuroscience andfascinating neurological cases, Eliezer J. Sternberg explores questions such as:

What do the blind see when they dream?Why do people believe in alien abductions?Why do schizophrenics hear voices?

From sleepwalking murderers, contagious yawning, and the brains of sports fansto false memories, subliminal messages, and the secret of ticklishness, you'll findthat there's a pattern to the way the brain interprets the world--a pattern that fitsthe brain's unique logic. Unraveling this pattern and the various ways it can bedisturbed will alter not only our view of mental illness and supernatural experiencebut also shed light on the hidden parts of ourselves.

SUBJECT: Neuroscience is a crowded shelf, but the successful books (Ariely, Eagleman,Kahneman) are often written by neuroscientists who have an engaging thesis andcompelling presentation. Sternberg is the latest--and youngest--example.AUTHOR: Still in his twenties, Sternberg is doing his residency in clinical neurology and isthe author of two previous books that address new findings in brain science.AUDIENCE: Not only the readers of Eagleman, Kahneman and Gladwell, but also those ofMichael Gazzaniga and Antonio Damasio.

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: Boston, MAELIEZER J. STERNBERG, MD is a resident neurologist at Yale-New Haven Hospital. With abackground in neuroscience and philosophy, he studies how brain research can shed lighton the mysteries of consciousness and decision-making. He is the author of Are You aMachine? (Prometheus Books, 2007) and My Brain Made Me Do It (Prometheus Books, 2010).

The Last Yakuza A Life in the Japanese Underworld Jake AdelsteinA riveting, behind-the-scenes look at the life and times of yakuza mob bossSugawara Tatsuya, aka Tsunami, by America's foremost expert on Japaneseorganized crime. Sugawara Tatsuya could have been a rock star. Instead he became a yakuza.Born in Japan, but the son of an American-born Japanese woman--who movedback to Japan to avoid internment camps--Sugawara was never a typical Japaneseboy. As a child, other children referred to him as "a damn American," or simply a"non-person." He was always an outsider, but as a teenager in 1970s Tokyo hefound his tribe in Japan's notorious motorcycle gangs--the Bosozuko. His life wasfull of speed, whether synthetically through crystal meth, mechanically from theengine of his bike, or rhythmically as he played guitar for Japan pioneeringpunk-rock group Gedo. But a chance encounter--and perhaps a bit too much lustfor life that kept leading him to Toyko's notorious red light district--placed him ona different path of becoming a boss in the Inagawa-kai, the country's third largestorganized-crime group. Full of swordfights, gun battles, finger amputation, rock 'n' roll, financialcrimes, gang wars, tattoos, and personal vendettas, Sugawara's story is one of akind. But it is not the only story told here. The Last Yakuza also tells the history ofthe yakuza since World War II, and explains how the yakuza became so entrenchedin Japan. Sugawara's life is the axis around which tales of yakuza life and their rolein Japanese society are told. It is the story of one yakuza boss--not a good man,but a man with a code of honor--and the history of the rise and fall of Japan'sunderworld as it is almost literally tattooed on his body and charted by his missingfinger.

SUGAWARA TATSUYA: Nicknamed Tsunami because of his huge stature, Sugawara islarger than life in every way. He and the author are very close. Adelstein hired Sugawara tobe his bodygaurd during the Tokyo Vice years. Thus, Adelstein knows him and his lifeincredibly well. YAKUZA: The yakuza are a subject of great fascination in the West. In the words of 2011'sExecutive Order, they are "a transnational criminal organization which threatens thenational security of the United States of America." ORGANIZED CRIME: American readers cannot get enough material about organized crime.AUTHOR: Adelstein has firmly established himself as one of the leading experts onJapanese culture, economics, and organized crime. He has been profiled in The NewYorker, feautured on 60 Minutes, and appeared on NPR, CNN, and The Daily Show. JAPANOFILES: America's culture obsession with Japan continues; whether it is cat cafes,Tokyo street style, or Manga, we are fascinated with the land of the rising sun.TOKYO VICE MOVIE: Starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter, Horns) and produced by JohnLesher (End of Watch, Fury, Birdman), the movie adaptation of Tokyo Vice is indevelopment.

"No American knows more about the inner workings of the yakuza than JakeAdelstein."--Lara Logan, 60 Minutes

The Stargazer's Sister A Novel Carrie BrownFrom the acclaimed author of The Last First Day: a beautiful new period novel--anineteenth-century story of female empowerment before its time--based on the lifeof Caroline Herschel, sister of the great astronomer William Herschel and anastronomer in her own right. This exquisitely imagined novel opens as the great astronomer and composerWilliam Herschel rescues his sister Caroline from a life of drudgery in Germanyand brings her to England and a world of music-making and stargazing. Lina, asCaroline is known, serves as William's assistant and the captain of hisexhilaratingly busy household. William is generous, wise, and charismatic, anobsessive genius whom Lina adores and serves with the fervency of a beloved wife.When William suddenly announces that he will be married, Lina watches as herworld collapses. With her characteristically elegant prose, Brown creates fromhistory a compelling story of familial collaboration and conflict, the sublimebeauty of astronomy, and the small but essential place we have within a vast andastonishing cosmos. Through Lina's trials and successes, we witness the dawningof an early feminist consciousness, of a woman struggling to find her own placeamong the stars.

Brown's tremendous appeal to a female audience will be lifted by her focus on thewonderful historical female character of Lina Herschel.Carrie has connections and fans throughout the writing world and will be well received asa reader and presenter wherever we can put her out there.

Ostend Stefan Zweig, Joseph Roth, and the Summer Before the Dark Volker WeidermannThe true story of two of the twentieth century's great writers exiled from NaziGermany to a Belgian seaside resort, and the world they built there: written with anovelist's eye for pacing, chronology, and language--a dazzling work of historicalnonfiction. It's the summer of 1936, and the writer Stefan Zweig is in crisis. His Germanpublisher no longer wants him, his marriage is collapsing, and his home in Austriahas been seized. He's been dreaming of Ostend, the Belgian beach town--aparadise of promenades, parasols, and old friends. So he journeys there with hisnew lover, Lotte Altmann, and reunites with his semi-estranged fellow writer andclose friend Joseph Roth, himself newly in love. For a moment, they create afragile paradise. But as Europe begins to crumble around them, the writers findthemselves trapped on vacation, in exile, watching the world burn. In Ostend,Volker Weidermann lyrically recounts "the summer before the dark," when acoterie of artists, intellectuals, drunks, revolutionaries, and madmen foundthemselves in limbo while Europe teetered on the edge of fascism and total war.

POP CULTURE RELEVANCE: Stefan Zweig's life and work have been recently brought backto popular attention, thanks to Wes Anderson's Golden Globe winning The Grand BudapestHotel (2014), a film inspired by Zweig's life and writing, as well as recent New York ReviewBooks reissues of his work. Joseph Roth is now universally hailed as one of the iconicwriters of the twentieth century.NOVELISTIC HISTORY: This is a work of historical nonfiction that reads like a lyrical novel.HISTORY ON A HUMAN SCALE: Weidermann offers the personal (and often scandalous)histories of a number of writers beyond Zweig and Roth, including Irmgard Keun, EgonKisch, Ernst Toller, and Arthur Koestler.

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: BerlinVOLKER WEIDERMANN is the literary director and editor for the Sunday edition of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and the author of a number of works of literary history andcritical biography.
