El libro de Sarah
by Scot McClanahanUn héroe literario marginal, hermano de sangre de Flannery O'Connor, Charles Bukowski y Harry Crews. Esta es la historia de un naufragio, el del matrimonio del narrador con Sarah, su primera esposa y madre de sus dos hijos. También es un autorretrato demencial donde Scott McClanahan se pinta como un alcohólico notable y paranoico que emprende la ruta hacia el desastre a través de los paisajes inhumanos de Virginia Occidental. Pero este libro es también una bella canción de amor, una nota de despedida que le sirve al autor para recordar los detalles más íntimos de su enamoramiento. De esta novela, a medio camino entre la ficción y las memorias, se ha dicho que toma el lenguaje de los poetas románticos ingleses y lo pone en boca de un paleto de los Apalaches. No puede ser más cierto. La crítica ha dicho...«El libro de Sarah es la canción más triste que hayas escuchado. Es el último trago de whisky de una botella que ha dado demasiadas vueltas. Sus protagonistas son el amor verdadero, la paranoia, el demonio y Dios. Tiene lugar en aparcamientos y locales de striptease y en centros comerciales. Es a la vez ficción y autobiografía, y tampoco es nada de eso. Es una lectura brutal.»The Fader «El libro más divertido que leerás jamás sobre el divorcio. De acuerdo, también es uno de los libros más divertidos que hay sobre cualquier tema. Está escrito de una manera valiente y espontánea que mágicamente convierte la risa y la tristeza en la misma cosa.»Medium «McClanahan escribe como si fuera el hijo literario bastardo salido de una cópula accidental entre Flannery O'Connor y Harry Crews tras una larga borrachera de bourbon y de que algo hubiera ido mal en el parto.»3am Magazine «Leer a Scott McClanahan es como si te golpeara en la cabeza un luchador de MMA colocado con metanfetamina cocinada en una autocaravana sin agua corriente y aparcada en un bosque de las afueras de Kentucky.»Donald Ray Pollock «El libro de Sarah es un grito salvaje sobre el amor y las heridas y el odio y la ternura y la ira. Es una crónica de cómo se forma y se rompe una pareja. La escritura de McClanahan es tan íntima que te dan ganas de meterte en el libro y salvar a este hombre de sí mismo, pero no puedes. Esa imposibilidad es lo que hace al libro tan memorable, tan poderoso.»Roxane Gay «Una de esas raras novelas desternillantes. Es un libro divertido de verdad, de verdad de la buena, pero solo porque los humanos (y los pugs viejos y tuertos) son divertidos. También es dolorosamente triste, pero solo porque la vida es a menudo triste y dolorosa.»Playboy «El relato de cómo el autor -conductor borracho, quemador de biblias, amante de las alitas de pollo, joven habitante de Virginia Occidental y padre de dos hijos- intenta enderezar su vida es demoledor y genial. Un libro divertido y oscuro, conmovedor y verdadero. Os gustará.»Vice «El libro de Sarah es la historia de un matrimonio reventando por cada una de sus costuras: alcohol en exceso, ordenadores destruidos a martillazos y visionados compulsivos del clip de "November Rain".»Rolling Stone

License to Parent: How My Career As a Spy Helped Me Raise Resourceful, Self-Sufficient Kids
by Christina Hillsberg Ryan Hillsberg"If Mr. and Mrs. Smith had kids and wrote a parenting book, this is what you'd get: a practical guide for how to utilize key spy tactics to teach kids important life skills--from self-defense to effective communication to conflict resolution." --Working MotherChristina was a single, successful CIA analyst with a burgeoning career in espionage when she met fellow spy, Ryan, a hotshot field operative who turned her world upside down. They fell in love, married, and soon they were raising three children from his first marriage, and later, two more of their own.Christina knew right away that there was something special about the way Ryan was parenting his kids, although she had to admit their obsession with surviving end-of-world scenarios and their ability to do everything from archery to motorcycle riding initially gave her pause. More than that, Ryan's kids were much more security savvy than most adults she knew. She soon realized he was using his CIA training and field experience in his day-to-day child-rearing. And why shouldn't he? The CIA trains its employees to be equipped to deal with just about anything. Shouldn't parents strive to do the same for their kids?As Christina grew into her new role as a stepmom and later gave birth to their two children, she got on board with Ryan's unique parenting style--and even helped shape it using her own experiences at the CIA. Told through honest and relatable parenting anecdotes, Christina shares their distinctive approach to raising confident, security-conscious, resilient children, giving practical takeaways rooted in CIA tradecraft along the way. License to Parent aims to provide parents with the tools necessary to raise savvier, well-rounded kids who have the skills necessary to navigate through life.
Licks of Love
by John UpdikeIn this brilliant late-career collection, John Updike revisits many of the locales of his early fiction: the small-town Pennsylvania of Olinger Stories, the sandstone farmhouse of Of the Farm, the exurban New England of Couples and Marry Me, and Henry Bech's Manhattan of artistic ambition and taunting glamour.

Love makes Updike's fictional world go round--married love, filial love, feathery licks of erotic love, and love for the domestic particulars of Middle American life.s suspected that Updike would try to pull one more Rabbit out of his hat. Now, some 10 years after the death of everybody's favorite Updike character, Updike has done just that, and with great success. . . .

A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself
by Peter Ho DaviesA People 10 Best Books of the Year • A New York Times Notable Book of the Year • An Independent (UK) 20 Best Books of the Year"Wise, bracingly honest...A reassuring reality check...Exhilarating." —New York Times Book Review A heartbreaking, soul-baring novel about the repercussions of choice that &“will strike a resonant chord with parents everywhere,&” (starred Kirkus) from the award-winning author of The Welsh Girl and The FortunesA Lie Someone Told You About Yourself traces the complex consequences of one of the most personal yet public, intimate yet political experiences a family can have: to have a child, and conversely, the decision not to have a child. A first pregnancy is interrupted by test results at once catastrophic and uncertain. A second pregnancy ends in a fraught birth, a beloved child, the purgatory of further tests—and questions that reverberate down the years. When does sorrow turn to shame? When does love become labor? When does chance become choice? When does a diagnosis become destiny? And when does fact become fiction? This spare, graceful narrative chronicles the flux of parenthood, marriage, and the day-to-day practice of loving someone. As challenging as it is vulnerable, as furious as it is tender, as touching as it is darkly comic, Peter Ho Davies's new novel is an unprecedented depiction of fatherhood.&“There are some stories that require as much courage to write as they do art. Peter Ho Davies&’s achingly honest, searingly comic portrait of fatherhood is just such a story...The world needs more stories like this one, more of this kind of courage, more of this kind of love.&” —Sigrid Nunez, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend "There is nothing superfluous in these pages...A novel that...earns its place on the shelf alongside the frank and sometimes acerbic memoirs of Rachel Cusk and Anne Enright." —Claire Messud, Harper's

Lies and Sorcery
by Elsa MoranteElsa Morante is one of the titans of twentieth-century literature—Natalia Ginzburg said she was the writer of her own generation that she most admired—and yet her work remains little known in the United States. Written during World War II, Morante&’s celebrated first novel, Lies and Sorcery, is in the grand tradition of Stendhal, Tolstoy, and Proust, spanning the lives of three generations of wildly eccentric women.The story is set in Sicily and told by Elisa, orphaned young and raised by a &“fallen woman.&” For years Elisa has lived in an imaginary world of her own; now, however, her guardian has died, and the young woman feels that she must abandon her fantasy life to confront the truth of her family&’s tortured and dramatic history. Elisa is a seductive, if less than reliable, spinner of stories, and the reader is drawn into a tale of secrets, intrigue, and treachery, which, as it proceeds, is increasingly revealed to be an exploration of a legacy of political and social injustice. Throughout, Morante&’s elegant writing—and her drive to get at the heart of her characters&’ complex relationships and all-too self-destructive behavior—holds us spellbound.
