A collection of six essays blends memoir and biography, exploring the author's life and passion for uncovering historical mysteries, featuring diverse figures such as a Buddhist hermit and a Black Power martyr.

A moving and penetrating memoir of a life in biography from the Pulitzer Prize winner and “gifted storyteller” (Judith Thurman, The New Yorker).Megan Marshall’s innovative books, including&nbsp;The Peabody Sisters&nbsp;and the Pulitzer Prize–winning&nbsp;Margaret Fuller, are treasured works of American biography.&nbsp;In the richly absorbing essays of&nbsp;After Lives, Marshall turns her narrative gift to her own&nbsp;art,&nbsp;life,&nbsp;and the people in it.In each of six essays, Marshall reinvents the personal essay form, as a portal to the past and its lessons for living into the future. The book’s brilliant, assured interplay between memoir and biography places surprising characters on the page, including the twelfth-century Buddhist hermit&nbsp;Kamo no Chomei, a reassuring spiritual presence for Marshall during several otherwise deracinating months in Kyoto.&nbsp;In her stunning coming-of-age tale, “Free for a While,”&nbsp;set in 1970s California, Marshall interweaves the story of her adolescence with that of Black Power martyr Jonathan Jackson, the author’s AP history classmate, gunned down at seventeen in a failed attempt to free his famed older brother George from prison in the case that put Angela Davis on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.&nbsp;Here too is the author’s passion for the biographical chase, and for the mysteries at its heart.&nbsp;She tells the astonishing story of viewing&nbsp;the disinterred remains of her one-time subject Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, wife of Nathaniel, and their daughter Una,&nbsp;the truths of whose&nbsp;early death Marshall works to reveal.&nbsp;Throughout these finely wrought essays, Marshall,&nbsp;“[at] the front rank of American biographers” (Dwight Garner,&nbsp;New York Times),&nbsp;makes palpable her driving impulse to “learn what I could from others: how to live, how not to live, what it means to live.”&nbsp;

The essential companion to Toni Morrison's work, written by Namwali Serpell, 'one of the most innovative and intelligent writers today' (Financial Times)A giant in American letters, and one of our most beloved writers, Nobel laureate Toni Morrison has inspired generations. But her artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona, perhaps because, as Serpell puts it, 'she is our only truly canonical black, female writer-and her work is complex.' In On Morrison, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning writer and a professor of literature at Harvard University, to illuminate Morrison's masterful experiments with literary form. This is Morrison as you've never encountered her before, a journey through her oeuvre-her fiction, poetry, dramatic works, and criticism-with contextual guidance, archival discoveries, and original close readings. At once accessible and uncompromisingly rigorous, On Morrison is a primer not only on how to read one of the most significant black American authors of all time, but also on how to read great works of literature. Stylish, edifying, and electrifying in its intelligence, this dialogue on the page between two artist-readers is literary criticism at its very best. 'Stunning reconsiderations of Morrison...incisive, tender, and also honest and unsparing' HANIF ABDURRAQIB, author of A Little Devil in America

A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEARWhen everyday life becomes a state of emergency, how can yesterday's words suffice?'We were so happy and didn't know it...'A thirty-three-year-old writer lives in a quiet European suburb with his wife and his dog. His parents have bought an apartment nearby. On weekends they go out for brunch, cook and see friends. Life is good; it is normal. Then the invaders come. The Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you've never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive. Bringing together Oleksandr Mykhed's vivid day-by-day chronicles of the invasion of Ukraine with a chorus of other voices - his family, friends in exile, those who have fought and have witnessed unimaginable atrocities - this book is both a record, and a reckoning. Haunting and timeless, it asks how it is possible to find the words to describe a new reality; how you can still make sense of the world when the only language you can speak is the language of war.

Author Helen Muir drew on her journalistic and personal correspondence to provide a memoir of her friendship with poet Robert Frost during the 30 years he wintered in South Miami (between 1934-1963). Frost and his wife, Elinor, brought a property in Miami to escape public life. After Elinor's death, Frost maintained their five-acre home named Pencil Pines, comforting himself with birdwatching and stargazing, cultivating flowers and friendships. Muir's children have taken up the task of releasing the work in paperback with a new foreword and new photos to give readers a fresh look at this iconic memoir written by their mother.
