by Maurice LeblancA selection of classic stories featuring France's answer to Sherlock Holmes: a brilliant master criminal with a mischievous sense of humor—now the inspiration for the major streaming series Lupin.Arsène Lupin is a gentleman and a thief, a world-famous master of disguise and a planner of elaborate heists. His exploits are regularly splashed across newspaper pages, entertaining all of France as Inspector Ganimard of the Paris Police fruitlessly pursues him. Lupin often turns detective himself when it suits him, solving puzzles that have stumped the experts, and occasionally he even matches wits with his rival from England, &“Herlock Sholmes.&”A bane to the powerful and generous to the powerless, Lupin is exceedingly witty, marvelously clever, and always a gentleman. The twenty-two delightful stories in The Best of Lupin, drawn from five collections published nearly a century ago by Maurice Leblanc, have stood the test of time and are ripe for rediscovery.

The Best of Mary Diana Dods: Collected Works from an Author Ahead of Their Time
by Mary Diana DodsDelve into the works and mystery of an LGBTQ+ author whom historians are still trying to unravel over 200 years later. Previously known only as a quiet but intelligent wallflower friend of renowned author Mary Shelley, Mary Diana Dods is far from an ordinary Eighteenth-century daughter of an Earl. Throughout their life, they lived under three identities. First was their birth name, Mary Diana Dods. Due to the negative opinions of women authors during this time, they adopted the pseudonym, David Lyndsay, which was the pen name under which they published much of their work. Most intriguing of all, they fully transitioned to an additional male identity of scholar and diplomat, Walter Sholto Douglas, for the latter part of their personal life. Until Mary Shelley expert Betty T. Bennett&’s research in 1991, it was believed that Dods, Lyndsay, and Sholto Douglas were all separate individuals. By studying a series of letters sent to Shelley, Bennett discovered that all correspondents were in fact the same person. Since this research, historians have been working tirelessly to uncover the truth behind the life of this groundbreaking author whom society has forgotten.

The Best of Me
by David SedarisFor more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing. <p><p> Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler’s lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say “give it to me” in five languages, and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird. <p> But if all you expect to find in Sedaris’s work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery, more fellow-feeling than derision. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. In these pages, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms—at long last—with the other. <p> Taken together, the stories in The Best of Me reveal the wonder and delight Sedaris takes in the surprises life brings him. No experience, he sees, is quite as he expected—it’s often harder, more fraught, and certainly weirder—but sometimes it is also much richer and more wonderful. <p> Full of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that has led David Sedaris to be called “the funniest man alive” (Time Out New York), The Best of Me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing—quite often at himself—and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time. <P><P><b>A New York Times Bestseller</b>

The Best of Myles
by Flann O'BrienThe &“brilliant, morosely inventive comic turns devoted to . . . the literary life, the Gaelic Revival, civil service bureaucracy, booze and its discontents.&” —The Observer For more than twenty years, famous Irish novelist Flann O&’Brien wrote columns for the Irish Times under the pseudonym Myles na gCopaleen. This collection compiles his work from the first five years of his journalistic career and brings together themes that shaped O&’Brien&’s successful novels, including At Swim-Two-Birds, The Third Policeman, The Poor Mouth, and The Hard Life. In these pages, you&’ll find trenchant and entertaining writing on the Irish Writers, Actors, Artists and Musicians Association; World War II; John Keats; Irish culture and identity; brothers; landladies; railway service; decaying infrastructure; alcoholic ice cream advocacy; and a myriad of other subjects that—as a whole—give a valuable and authentic portrait of twentieth-century Irish life. &“This is humorous, satirical, learned, grave-faced, crazy writing. . . . Myles was feared as were some of the ancient Gaelic poets, who it was said could kill with a satire. There was no malice in him, but he could set the town laughing, and a pity for you if the laughter was at your expense.&” —The New York Times &“It is good to have these fugitive pieces restrained within the covers of a book. Myles was a genial man, a wag, a humorist. . . . Read one by one, his fragments were very funny, but here is a particular pleasure in the continuity of feeling and idiom provided by a book.&” —The Times Literary Supplement
