Mr. Wilder and Me: A Novel
by Jonathan CoeA NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE ROTTERS’ CLUB AND MIDDLE ENGLAND In the heady summer of 1977, a naïve young woman called Calista sets out from Athens to venture into the wider world. On a Greek island that has been turned into a film set, she finds herself working for the famed Hollywood director Billy Wilder, about whom she knows almost nothing. But the time she spends in this glamorous, unfamiliar new life will change her for good. While Calista is thrilled with her new adventure, Wilder himself is living with the realization that his star may be on the wane. Rebuffed by Hollywood, he has financed his new film with German money, and when Calista follows him to Munich for the shooting of further scenes, she finds herself joining him on a journey of memory into the dark heart of his family history. In a novel that is at once a tender coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of one of cinema’s most intriguing figures, Jonathan Coe turns his gaze on the nature of time and fame, of family and the treacherous lure of nostalgia. When the world is catapulting towards change, do you hold on for dear life or decide it's time to let go? “Outstanding... In a sense, the novel toward which Coe’s fiction has always been heading.”—Los Angeles Review of Books

Mrs. Wakeman vs. the Antichrist
by Robert Damon SchneckAmerican history is more than just what you read in your high school textbooks. There's a wild and weird side to America's past, filled with strange creatures, bizarre happenings, and fantastical figures. Researcher and writer Robert Damon Schneck has spent more than a decade devoted to sleuthing out these forgotten weird, grotesque, and mysterious gems of American history, like: * The man who preached good health through blood-drinking. * The California family driven insane by Ouija board séances, and the national panic that they ignited * The West Virginia town named after its resident poltergeist, who was obsessed with cutting everything into crescent shapes. * The Antichrist-obsessed cult leader whose disciples became brutal murderers, all in the name of saving her (and the world). You'll also learn about homemade guillotines, magical ape-men on Mt. St. Helens, the psychic who smuggled a crystal ball into the White House, and the origins of those baffling modern bogeys, evil clowns driving vans. These historically researched, scrupulously verified, and always shockingly true tales in this collection come from an America that lies beyond the skyscrapers, cornfields, and suburban strip malls where we make our homes--a place where monsters guard buried treasures, schoolgirls develop stigmata, and we never run out of strange things.

Mrutyu Samaye, Pehla ne Pachi: મૃત્યુ સમયે, પહેલાં ને પછી
by Dada Bhagwanઘણા લોકોને મૃત્યુનો ભય હોય છે. મૃત્યુ લોકોને મૂંઝવે છે અને તેઓ દુઃખમાં ડૂબી જાય છે. દરેક જણને પોતાના જીવન દરમ્યાન ક્યારેક મૃત્યુના સાક્ષી બનવું પડે છે. આવા સમયે મૃત્યુના ખરા સ્વરૂપ વિષે સેંકડો સવાલો વ્યક્તિના મનમાં ઉભા થાય છે. જયારે તેને તેના કોઈ જવાબ નથી મળતા ત્યારે તે વ્યાકુળ બની જાય છે. મૃત્યુ શું છે? મૃત્યુની પ્રક્રીયામાં શું થાય છે? મૃત્યુ પછી શું થાય છે? મૃત્યુના અનુભવ વિષે કોણ કહી શકે? મૃત્યુ પામેલા પોતાનો અનુભવ કહી નથી શકતા. જેનો જન્મ થાય છે તેને પોતાના પૂર્વઅસ્તિત્વની ખબર નથી. જન્મ પહેલાં અને મૃત્યુ પછી શું થાય છે તે કોઈ જાણતું નથી. શું પુનર્જન્મ સત્ય છે? આત્માની માન્યતામાં શ્રદ્ધા વિના પુનર્જન્મનો આધાર શું? પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ તેમના જ્ઞાન (આત્મજ્ઞાન) થકી મૃત્યુ વિષેના તમામ રહસ્યો જેમ છે તેમ ખુલ્લા કર્યા છે. પુનર્જન્મ, જન્મ અને મૃત્યુનું ચક્ર, કર્મોનું બંધન તેઓ વૈજ્ઞાનિક રીતે સમજાવે છે અને આ કર્મોના બંધન તોડી મુક્તિ મેળવવાની અંતિમ ગુરૂ કિલ્લી પણ આપણને આપે છે. જયારે તમે આત્માનું સ્વરૂપ સમજશો, ત્યારે બધા કોયડા ઉકલી જશે. પહેલાં આત્માનો સાક્ષાત્કાર કરો પછી બધા કોયડા ઉકલી જશે. જીવન અને મૃત્યુના તમામ રહસ્યોના ખુલાસા થવાથી જન્મ અને મૃત્યુથી મુક્ત સ્થિતિએ પહોંચી શકાય છે. આ પુસ્તિકામાં આવી હકીકતો જોવામાં આવશે અને તેથી વાચકને સંસારિક અને આધ્યાત્મિક બાબતોમાં લાભ થશે.

Ms. Marvel's America: No Normal
by Jessica Baldanzi and Hussein RashidContributions by José Alaniz, Jessica Baldanzi, Eric Berlatsky, Peter E. Carlson, Sika A. Dagbovie-Mullins, Antero Garcia, Aaron Kashtan, Winona Landis, A. David Lewis, Martin Lund, Shabana Mir, Kristin M. Peterson, Nicholaus Pumphrey, Hussein Rashid, and J. Richard Stevens Mainstream superheroes are becoming more and more diverse, with new identities for Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man. Though the Marvel-verse is becoming much more racially, ethnically, and gender diverse, many of these comics remain shy about religion. The new Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan, is a notable exception, not only because she is written and conceived by two women, Sana Amanat and G. Willow Wilson, but also because both of these women bring their own experiences as Muslim Americans to the character. This distinct collection brings together scholars from a range of disciplines including literature, cultural studies, religious studies, pedagogy, and communications to engage with a single character, exploring Khan’s significance for a broad readership. While acknowledged as the first Muslim superhero to headline her own series, her character appears well developed and multifaceted in many other ways. She is the first character to take over an established superhero persona, Ms. Marvel, without a reboot of the series or death of the original character. The teenager is also a second-generation immigrant, born to parents who arrived in New Jersey from Pakistan. With essays from and about diverse voices on an array of topics from fashion to immigration history to fandom, this volume includes an exclusive interview with Ms. Marvel author and cocreator G. Willow Wilson by gender studies scholar Shabana Mir.

Moriah’s Wake is an eloquent novel in which a woman experiences a spiritual homecoming and embraces love.” —Foreword Clarion ReviewsOrphaned at age eight, JoAnna Wilson was raised by her eccentric aunt in the bucolic southern community of Mt. Moriah. Now a twenty-six-year old would-be writer, JoAnna faces several crossroads: in her marriage, in her career, and in her faith. She left home for Chicago in 1997 immediately following the murder of her best friend, Grace. Now she comes back to Mt. Moriah for the first time in four years to attend her aunt’s funeral—and realizes that she must confront both the profound sorrow she feels over Grace’s death and the mysterious guilt she carries. She must finally grieve.A hauntingly sweet story of love and loss that alternates between JoAnna’s childhood in Mt. Moriah, her life in Chicago and her present encounters upon returning home, Mt. Moriah’s Wake ponders deep questions: When we experience unspeakable tragedy, do we see ourselves as victim or survivor? Is it possible to regain happiness in the face of such? And how do we find our faith again, once it is lost? As her past and present worlds collide, JoAnna grapples with these questions—and her journey moves toward an unexpected conclusion.
Mu'awiya ibn abi Sufyan: From Arabia to Empire (Makers of the Muslim World)
by R. Stephen HumphreysIn this accessible study, Stephen Humphreys introduces the most elusive of the early caliphs, Mu'awiya ibn abi Sufyan (602-680). Throughout history, some have accused him of being the first caliph to diverge from Muhammed's model of ideal Muslim leadership whilst others credit him with uniting an empire in disarray and transforming the Caliphate into a practicable form of government. In light of this, Humphreys critically analyses his sources, and seeks to get as close as possible to a historical account of the great man.

Muck: A Novel
by Dror Burstein“Those who lament that the novel has lost its prophecy should pay heed and cover-price: Muck is the future, both of Jerusalem and of literature. God is showing some rare good taste, by choosing to speak to us through Dror Burstein.” —Joshua Cohen, author of Moving Kings and Book of NumbersIn a Jerusalem both ancient and modern, where the First Temple squats over the populace like a Trump casino, where the streets are literally crawling with prophets and heathen helicopters buzz over Old Testament sovereigns, two young poets are about to have their lives turned upside down. Struggling Jeremiah is worried that he might be wasting his time trying to be a writer; the great critic Broch just beat him over the head with his own computer keyboard. Mattaniah, on the other hand, is a real up-and-comer—but he has a secret he wouldn’t want anyone in the literary world to know: his late father was king of Judah.Jeremiah begins to despair, and in that despair has a vision: that Jerusalem is doomed, and that Mattaniah will not only be forced to ascend to the throne but will thereafter witness his people slaughtered and exiled. But what does it mean to tell a friend and rival that his future is bleak? What sort of grudges and biases turn true vision into false prophecy? Can the very act of speaking a prediction aloud make it come true? And, if so, does that make you a seer, or just a schmuck?Dramatizing the eternal dispute between poetry and power, between faith and practicality, between haves and have-nots, Dror Burstein’s Muck is a brilliant and subversive modern-dress retelling of the book of Jeremiah: a comedy with apocalyptic stakes by a star of Israeli fiction.
