Somewhere in America
Mark Singer's lively and extremely popular "U.S. Journal" column in The New Yorker featured under-the-radar stories that were unusual but emblematic tales of American life. A first-time collection of these pieces, Somewhere in America offers an illuminating glimpse of the cultural kaleidoscope of our country. From worm farmers in Weleetka, Oklahoma, to angry nudists in Wilmington, Vermont, Singer proves that "sometimes you don't even need a passport to experience a new nation" (U.S. News & World Report).

Still Searching...
I remember having an old pair of penny loafers when I was a little girl. There was stitching all along the top portion of the shoes. These shoes became old and brittle after wearing them for awhile. Then, the thread along the top portion of the shoes would break and unravel, leaving a huge, gaping hole. Whenever my shoes would fall apart, my father would simply re-stitch them by hand with regular sewing thread. This was only a temporary fix, and the next month or so, the shoes were falling apart again. My father would re-stitch the shoes over and over again, until I eventually outgrew them. My family would apply this same logic to every challenge in our lives. Whenever our family would "unravel" under the struggle and strain of life since moving from Mississippi to St. Louis, they would do whatever it took to "stitch things back up" again. That "better life" that we thought we had found seemed to elude us, and we were Still Searching...
The Black Widow
A candid and moving autobiography by the 'Black Widow' of billiards Jeanette Lee was 18 years old when she walked into a New York City pool hall and became enamored by the elegant geometry of the game. Before long, she was an unmistakable figure on the international competition circuit, dressed head-to-toe in black, stalking the billiards table and gazing down her cue as if tracking her prey. In this new memoir, the woman nicknamed 'The Black Widow' opens up about her legendary career and the rich, unpredictable life she's woven around it. Lee details her upbringing in a Korean-American household in Brooklyn, her single-minded drive to reach the pinnacle of her sport, and her unlikely entry into the realm of mainstream celebrity in an era where female athletes rarely got their share of the limelight. Lee also reflects on her lifelong struggle with scoliosis, which necessitated over twenty operations during her playing career; her public battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer; and the communities that gave her strength throughout. Written with warmth and candor, this is the definitive story of a true icon.
