Drieënveertig jaar is Hanneke Mijnster als ze een diagnose krijgt, en de opluchting is groot. Raar, moeilijk en mislukt als volwassene blijkt uiteindelijk gewoon ADHD. Dáárom lijkt haar schoolcarrière dus op de skyline van New York en zegt ze bijna net zo vaak af als ja. Volwassenen met ADHD worstelen elke dag weer met impulsiviteit, een tekort aan aandacht en uitstelgedrag. Het begrip ‘kleine moeite’ gaat alleen op als alle seinen op groen staan en de wind uit het oosten komt. Tenzij de hyperfocus inkickt. Dan krijg je drie voor de prijs van één. Dan is het werk in een mum van tijd af, is de wintergarderobe op kleur gesorteerd en is er zelfs achter de plinten geen stof meer te bekennen. Hanneke gaat in Hé, is dit ook ADHD? op zoek naar haar hernieuwde zelf. Wat definieert haar als ouder, vriendin, partner, werknemer, minnaar? Aan de hand van de wetenschap, gesprekken met mede-ADHD’ers en persoonlijke verhalen, laat ze zien hoe zo’n anders werkend brein ook je superkracht kan zijn. Een boek voor iedereen die direct of indirect met ADHD te maken heeft.

Love is the most important and intense experience of our life. It pushes us to elation, to heartbreak, to sing for joy and sob in disappointment. Connecting in this way to others is an essential quality of being human: without love, we don’t learn and develop properly as children and we don’t flourish as adults – in short, we’re starved of what we need. But love is on the verge of monumental change. Sex robots are already on the market, polyamory is gaining ground, drugs are being developed that can make you fall in love, and AI and robotics are set to revolutionize how we relate to each other. Debates about whether more than two people should be able legally to get married are heati...

Published two weeks after his seventieth birthday, Ada, or Ardor is one of Nabokov's greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist. It tells a love story troubled by incest. But more: it is also at once a fairy tale, epic, philosophical treatise on the nature of time, parody of the history of the novel, and erotic catalogue. Ada, or Ardor is no less than the superb work of an imagination at white heat. This is the first American edition to include the extensive and ingeniously sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom.
