Instead she's trapped in East Village, Manitoba, a small town whose population is Mennonite: "the most embarrassing sub-sect of people to belong to if you're a teenager". East Village is a town with no train and no bar whose job prospects consist of slaughtering chickens at the Happy Family Farms abattoir or churning butter for tourists at the pioneer village. Ministered with an iron fist by Nomi's uncle Hans, aka The Mouth of Darkness, East Village is a town that's tall on rules and short on fun: no dancing, drinking, rock 'n' roll, recreational sex, swimming, make-up, jewellery, playing pool, going to cities, or staying up past nine o'clock. As the novel begins, Nomi struggles to cope with the back-to-back departures three years earlier of Tash, her beautiful and mouthy sister, and Trudie, her warm and spirited mother. She lives with her father, Ray, a sweet yet hapless schoolteacher whose love is unconditional but whose parenting skills amount to benign neglect. Father and daughter deal with their losses in very different ways. Ray, a committed elder of the church, seeks to create an artificial sense of order by reorganizing the city dump late at night. Nomi, on the other hand, favours chaos as she tries to blunt her pain through "drugs and imagination." Together they live in a limbo of unanswered questions. Nomi's first-person narrative shifts effortlessly between the present and the past. Within the present, Nomi goes through the motions of finishing high school while flagrantly rebelling against Mennonite tradition. She hangs out on Suicide Hill, hooks up with a boy named Travis, goes on the Pill, wanders around town, skips class, and cranks Led Zeppelin. But the past is never far from her mind as she remembers happy times with her mother and sister - as well as the painful events that led them to flee town. Throughout, in a voice both defiant and vulnerable, she offers hilarious and heartbreaking reflections on life, death, family, faith and love. Eventually Nomi's grief - and a growing sense of hypocrisy - cause her to spiral ever downward to a climax that seems at once startling and inevitable. But even when one more loss is heaped on her piles of losses, Nomi maintains hope and finds the imagination and willingness to envision what lies beyond. Few novels in recent years have generated as much excitement as A Complicated Kindness. Winner of the Governor General's Award and a Giller Prize Finalist, Miriam Toews' third novel has earned both critical acclaim and a long and steady position on our national best-seller lists. Critic Reviews: "Poignant.... Bold, tender and intelligent, this is a clear-eyed exploration of belief and belonging, and the irresistible urge to escape both." (Publishers Weekly) "...knockout novel....There's leave-taking in this book. But there's wholeness, too. It is a joy." (Jennifer Wells, Toronto Star) "In novel full of original characters...Toews has created a feisty but appealing young heroine.... As an indictment against religious fundamentalism, A Complicated Kindness is timely. As a commentary on character it is fresh and inventive, and as storytelling it is first rate."

The year is 2015, and 21-year-olds Yoav and Uri, veterans of the last Gaza War, have just completed their compulsory military service in the Israel Defense Forces. In keeping with national tradition, they take a year off for rest, recovery, and travel. They come to New York City and begin working for Yoav's distant cousin David King - a proud American patriot, Republican, and Jew, and the recently divorced proprietor of King's Moving Inc., a heavyweight in the tristate area's moving and storage industries. Yoav and Uri now must struggle to become reacquainted with civilian life, but it's not easy to move beyond their traumatic pasts when their days are spent kicking down doors as eviction movers in the ungentrified corners of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, throwing out delinquent tenants and seizing their possessions. And what starts off as a profitable if eerily familiar job - an "occupation" - quickly turns violent when they encounter one homeowner seeking revenge. Critic Reviews: "Joshua Cohen's Moving Kings is a lit fuse, a force let loose, a creeping flame heading for demolition, and Cohen himself is a fierce polyknower in command of the moving parts of the human predicament. A master of argot and wit, he writes the language of men in a staccato yet keening idiom of his own invention. And though it is set in a grungy New York, call this the first Israeli combat novel ever dared by an American writer." (Cynthia Ozick) "Joshua Cohen is a blacksmith who heats, hammers, and molds the language to sharpest, most precise points - not for the sake of craft, but to tell a troubled story about troubled life in the twenty-first century. This is a dazzling and poignant book." (Rachel Kushner) Contact me for any questions: inforeq17@gmail.com

Quando scopre di avere il cancro viaggiare alla ricerca di una soluzione è la sua risposta istintiva. Questo è un viaggio diverso da tutti gli altri, e anche il più difficile perché ogni passo, ogni scelta - a volte fra ragione e follia, fra scienza e magia - ha a che fare con la sua sopravvivenza. Strada facendo prende appunti. Da una lunga permanenza a New York e poi in un centro "alternativo" della California nasce un ritratto inquietante dell'America. Da un lungo girovagare per l'India, compresi tre mesi passati da semplice novizio in un ashram, sempre in cerca di qualcosa o qualcuno che possa aiutarlo, Terzani arriva ad una visione di quel che di più profondo questo paese ha da offrire all'uomo: la sua spiritualità. Ogni cultura ha il suo modo di affrontare i problemi umani, specie quelli della malattia e del dolore. Così, dopo essersi interessato all'omeopatia, Terzani si rivolge alle culture d'Oriente sperimentando sulla propria pelle le loro soluzioni, siano esse strane diete, pozioni di erbe o canti sacri. Medicina tibetana, cinese, ayurveda, qi gong, reiki, yoga e pranoterapia sono fra le sue tappe. Alla fine il viaggio esterno alla ricerca di una cura si trasforma in un viaggio interiore, il viaggio di ritorno alle radici divine dell'uomo. La cura di tutte le cure è quella di cambiare punto di vista, di cambiare se stessi e con questa rivoluzione interiore dare il proprio contributo alla speranza in un mondo migliore. Tutto il resto inutile? Niente affatto. Tutto serve, la mente gioca un enorme ruolo nelle nostre vite, i miracoli esistono, ma ognuno deve essere l'artefice del proprio. Un libro sull'America, un libro sull'India, un libro sulla medicina classica e quella alternativa, un libro sulla ricerca della propria identità. ©2011 Longanesi & C., Milano (P)2011 Adriano Salani Editore s.u.r.l., Milano Recensioni critiche: Tra le suggestioni e avventure che abitano lo splendido libro di Terzani, ci sono i racconti dei riti orientali, accompagnati dal rimpianto per gli strumenti di conoscenza (o felici illusioni) che l'Occidente ha dimenticato e distrutto. -- Il Corriere della Sera Terzani ha usato la propria malattia come passaporto e talora anche come grimaldello, per varcare porte spesso proibite più a causa del nostro pregiudizio che per volontà di esclusione. Ne è uscito un libro drammatico ma assolutamente non triste. E alla fine di questo singolarissimo viaggio l'impressione che ne riceviamo è di una testimonianza umana di grande valore. -- Il Giornale C'è l'intelligenza acuta di Terzani, ma insieme serena, leggerissima, che posa lo sguardo sulle vicende umane, come da una distanza che non ammette consolazioni. -- Il Giornale di Vicenza Tanti libri in uno: un libro leggero e sorridente, un libro su quel che non va nelle nostre vite di donne e uomini moderni e su quel che è ancora splendido nell'universo fuori e dentro tutti noi. -- Il Segnalibro Il vero tema di questo racconto è il disagio nella società presente, l'intollerabilità di un sistema di vita che ha disintegrato l'unità della persona e l'unità del complesso sociale di cui le persone fanno parte.

Eleven-year-old Polly McClusky is shy, too old for the teddy bear she carries with her everywhere, when she is unexpectedly reunited with her father, Nate, fresh out of jail and driving a stolen car. He takes her from the front of her school into a world of robbery, violence, and the constant threat of death. And he does it to save her life. Nate made dangerous enemies in prison - a gang called Aryan Steel has put out a bounty on his head, counting on its members on the outside to finish him off. They've already murdered his ex-wife, Polly's mother. And Polly is their next target. Nate and Polly's lives soon become a series of narrow misses, of evading the bad guys and the police, of sleepless nights in motels. Out on the lam, Polly is forced to grow up early: With barely any time to mourn her mother, she must learn how to take a punch and pull off a drug-house heist. She finds herself transforming from a shy little girl into a true fighter. Nate, in turn, learns what it's like to love fiercely and unconditionally - a love he's never quite felt before. But can their powerful bond transcend the dangerous existence he's carved out for them? Will they ever be able to live an honest life, free of fear? She Rides Shotgun is a gripping and emotionally wrenching novel that upends even our most long-held expectations about heroes, villains, and victims. Nate takes Polly to save her life, but in the end it may very well be Polly who saves him. Contact me for any questions: inforeq17@gmail.com
