The Tiger and the Cage
For readers of Susannah Cahalan’s Brain on Fire and Porochista Khakpour’s Sick, this exquisitely wrought debut memoir recounts a lifelong struggle with chronic pain and endometriosis, while speaking more broadly to anyone who’s been told “it’s all in your head” In Catholic grade school, Emma Bolden has a strange experience with a teacher that unleashes a short-lived, persistent coughing spell—something the medical establishment will later use against her as she struggles through chronic pain and fainting spells that coincide with her menstrual cycle. With The Tiger and the Cage, Bolden uses her own experience as the starting point for a journey through the institutional misogyn...
The New Emily Dickinson Studies
This collection presents new approaches to Emily Dickinson's oeuvre. Informed by twenty-first-century critical developments, the Dickinson that emerges here is embedded in and susceptible to a very physical world, and caught in unceasing interactions and circulation that she does not control. The volume's essays offer fresh readings of Dickinson's poetry through such new critical lenses as historical poetics, ecocriticism, animal studies, sound studies, new materialism, posthumanism, object-oriented feminism, disability studies, queer theory, race studies, race and contemporary poetics, digital humanities, and globalism. These essays address what it means to read Dickinson in braille, online, graffitied, and internationally, alongside the work of poets of color. Taken together, this book widens our understanding of Dickinson's readerships, of what the poems can mean, and for whom.

The Lady in Gold
The spellbinding story, part fairy tale, part suspense, of Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, one of the most emblematic portraits of its time; of the beautiful, seductive Viennese Jewish salon hostess who sat for it; the notorious artist who painted it; the now vanished turn-of-the-century Vienna that shaped it; and the strange twisted fate that befell it. The Lady in Gold, considered an unforgettable masterpiece, one of the twentieth century’s most recognizable paintings, made headlines all over the world when Ronald Lauder bought it for $135 million a century after Klimt, the most famous Austrian painter of his time, completed the society portrait. Anne-Marie O’Connor, wr...

A dama dourada
A EXTRAORDINÁRIA HISTÓRIA DA OBRA-PRIMA DE GUSTAV KLIMT: O RETRATO DE ADELE BLOCH-BAUER É o retrato de uma época, do esplendor de Paris e Viena e da desgraça que se seguiu no pós-guerra: a perseguição e o extermínio dos judeus. Gustav Klimt, um dos maiores pintores de todos os tempos, era considerado um rebelde no final do século XIX, em Viena, quando pintou a sedutora aristocrata Adele Bloch-Bauer. Este livro é também a história da família Bloch-Bauer, de banqueiros judeus e todo o sofrimento desse povo. A dama dourada revela a saga desse quadro conhecido como O retrato de Adele Bloch-Bauer. A jornalista Anne-Marie O'Connor descreve como foi confiscado pelos nazistas e a disputa internacional entre o governo austríaco e a sobrinha de Adele anos depois.
