I would go to Sweden and everything would be different. I'd be surrounded by tens of hundreds of Alexander Skarsgårds.

I laughed out loud, I ugly cried' MEG RYAN * Paulie Johansson is lost: on the brink of midlife, all she's got to show for herself is a dead-end job and some serious family baggage.

A Lady's Guide to Selling Out
With "elements of The Bold Type, Mad Men, and The Devil Wears Prada" (Entertainment Weekly), a young woman navigates a tricky twenty-first-century career--and the trickier question of who she wants to be--in this savagely wise debut novel. Casey Pendergast is losing her way. Once a book-loving English major, Casey lands a job at a top ad agency that highly values her ability to tell a good story. Her best friend thinks she's a sellout, but Casey tells herself that she's just paying the bills--and she can't help that she has champagne taste. When her hard-to-please boss assigns her to a top-secret campaign that pairs literary authors with corporations hungry for upmarket cachet, Casey is both...
Como não ser uma vendida
Casey Pendergast é uma publicitária de sucesso, mas não consegue evitar a sensação incômoda de que talvez seja uma vendida que trocou seus sonhos da juventude por um condomínio de luxo, um belo salário e bolsas de grife. Ainda assim, abraça com determinação a liderança de uma nova e lucrativa campanha, para a qual precisa convencer seus antigos e aclamados ídolos literários a tornarem-se criadores de conteúdo para empresas. Nessa jornada, ela se surpreende com a facilidade com que esses escritores concordam em comprometer sua integridade em troca de dinheiro. Porém, ao se apaixonar por um deles, Casey não consegue mais ignorar a luta contra seus valores morais e o preço alto do sucesso.

The Embodied Path
Our bodies have a story to tell. When we turn toward our bodies with curiosity and reverence, we honor those stories, embrace our inner dignity, and make space for more agency. Sharing our bodies' stories helps us feel seen so that, little by little, society's limiting master narratives can shift so that more bodies feel safe and beautiful and have a sense of belonging. The Embodied Path tells more than twenty body stories, woven together with Ellie Roscher's own body story and insights, to do the essential work of resistance and repair at the individual and communal level. The book includes the story of a woman who sees her hijab as an extension of her body, a front man in a funk band who v...

Wonderlands
Searching and erudite new essays on writing from the author of Burning Down the House. Charles Baxter’s new collection of essays, Wonderlands, joins his other works of nonfiction, Burning Down the House and The Art of Subtext.

The essays here range from brilliant thinking on the nature of wonderlands in the fiction of Haruki Murakami and other fabulist writers, to how request moments function in a story. Baxter is equally at home tackling a thorny matter such as charisma (which intersects with pol...
