Howarth C: Heap Earth Upon It

Heap Earth Upon It

A workbook designed to guide the bereaved through grief using a clinically-informed, structured storytelling method, this book gives readers the ability to disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reconcile with their loss using narrative writing. Based upon her research and the 'expressive storytelling' method she created, Linita Eapen Mathew calls upon her own experiences losing her father along with carefully structured narrative exercises to teach readers how they can write, re-examine, revise, and re-write their grief story to work towards a point of clarity and release. Leaning into grief theory and trauma-informed and therapeutic writing research, Writing Through Grief allows readers to create a complete and consistent account of their experiences to help them process events that unfolded, release trauma, and relieve the intense reactions and responses to the loss of both the living and the deceased. With each chapter combining Eapen's personal narrative with expressive storytelling exercises alongside discussion of the research behind them for context, this book offers readers a creative, productive but emotionally sensitive approach to handling grief. Whether guided by a trained psychologist, a workshop instructor or writing in the comfort of a personal space, writers can disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reflection through creative writing.

An Expressive Storytelling Workbook

Narrating Your Grief

NATIONAL BESTSELLER | WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE | NBCC JOHN LEONARD PRIZE FINALIST One of The New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable Books of 2025 One of The Washington Post's 10 Best Books of 2025 For readers of Jonathan Franzen and Nathan Hill comes a haymaker of an American novel about a missing teenage boy, cases of fluid and mistaken identity, and the transformative power of boxing. Austin, Texas: It’s the summer of 1998, and there’s a new face on the scene at Terry Tucker’s Boxing Gym. Sixteen-year-old Nathaniel Rothstein has never felt comfortable in his own skin, but under the tutelage of a swaggering, Haitian-born ex-fighter named David Dalice, he begins to come into his own. Even the boy’s slightly stoned uncle, Bob Alexander, who is supposed to be watching him for the summer, notices the change. Nathaniel is happier, more confident—tanner, even. Then one night he vanishes, leaving little trace behind. Across the city, Charles Rex, now going simply by “X,” has been undergoing a teenage transformation of his own, trolling the phone sex hotline that his mother works, seeking an outlet for everything that feels wrong about his body, looking for intimacy and acceptance in a culture that denies him both. As a surprising and unlikely romance blooms, X feels, for a moment, like he might have found the safety he’s been searching for. But it's never that simple. More than a decade later, Nathaniel’s uncle Bob receives a shocking tip, propelling him to open his own investigation into his nephew’s disappearance. The resulting search involves gymgoers past and present, including a down-on-his-luck twin and his opportunistic brother; a rookie cop determined to prove herself; and Alexis Cepeda, a promising lightweight, who crossed the US-Mexico border when he was only fourteen, carrying with him a license bearing the wrong name and face. Bobbing and weaving across the ever-shifting canvas of a changing country, The Slip is an audacious, daring look at sex and race in America that builds to an unforgettable collision in the center of the ring.

A Novel

The Slip

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts ist St. Georg ein Ort, an dem Wunder Alltag sind: Man spricht mit Heiligen, geht über Wasser, pfeift Steine entzwei. Doch die neue Zeit rückt näher. Als der totgeglaubte Odysseus nach fünfzehn Jahren zurückkehrt, geraten Ordnung, Glaube und Erinnerung ins Wanken - die stumme Julia scheint sowohl an ihm als auch an seinem Bruder interessiert.

"Pfingsten. Erinnerungen an ein Ende der Welt" ist ein Roman, der mit Motiven des magischen Realismus spielt. Hlaüo erzählt vielstimmig von einer Welt an der Schwelle zur Moderne, von Sprache, Verwandlung und dem Moment, in dem aus einem Ende ein Anfang wird. In St. Georg treffen das Mystische und das Mechanische aufeinander, die alten Wunder funktionieren noch - doch niemand weiß, wie lange. Mit Lust am Detail und feinem, bisweilen trockenem Humor verfolgt Miroslav Hlaüo, was geschieht, als Franz Rechnitz, ein junger K.u.K.-Notar, in den Ort kommt und St. Georg "ordnungsgemäß" ins neue Jahrhundert führen will.
Pfingsten wurde 2025 mit dem wichtigsten tschechischen Literaturpreis Magnesia Litera gleich zweimal ausgezeichnet - als "Buch des Jahres" und als "Debüt des Jahres" - und erscheint im Vorfeld des Ehrengastauftritts Tschechiens auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2026.

Erinnerungen an ein Ende der Welt

Pfingsten

Benny and Joy like to say that they've been saving each other's lives since the moment they met . . . Until the day Joy disappears and Benny is accused of her murder. Best friends Benny and Joy host a beloved 'comedy survival' podcast, gleefully finding life-affirming humour in near-death experiences. When Benny arrives at Joy and her husband's home one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house. With Joy missing and the hours ticking by, not even their most devoted fans could guess the terrible secrets they have hidden from the world - and from each other. If Benny wants to find Joy in time, and clear his own name, he'll have to solve the highest stakes survival story yet.

The instant New York Times bestseller. A stunning, suspenseful thriller with the heart of a love story

This Story Might Save Your Life

lllusion, Macht, Geheimnis: ¿Magus¿ lässt Realitäten verschwimmen, ein literarisches Vexierspiel aus Rätseln und philosophischen Fragen. 

 Der junge Engländer, Nicholas Urfe, ist des Lebens überdrüssig und verlässt sein langweiliges Leben in England. In der Hoffnung, dass seine Dämonen sich in der Sonne besser unter Kontrolle halten lassen, nimmt er einen Lehrauftrag auf einer abgelegenen griechischen Insel an. Als die Dunkelheit ihn auch dorthin verfolgt, schließt er eine Freundschaft mit einem zurückgezogenen Millionär. Schon bald findet er sich als Schachfigur im tödlichen Spiel dieses Tricksers aus Gewalt, Verführung und Verrat wieder. Je tiefer Nicholas in die psychologischen Fallen des Magus hineingezogen wird, desto schwerer fällt es, Vergangenheit von Gegenwart und Fantasie von Realität zu unterscheiden.
Ein Werk reich an Symbolen, Rätseln und labyrinthischen Wendungen, gilt der Magus als der magischste Roman im Fowles-Kanon.

A forceful wonder' The Times, Historical Fiction Book of the Month 'A gripping, gorgeous story of faith and feminism... A rapturous read' Daily Mail 'A spectacular story of shape-shifting, love and faith . . .

Agnes is the motherless child of an English priest - a wild and brilliant girl with a deep, visceral love of God. But when tragedy strikes, she is suddenly forced to choose between what is expected of her and the life she has always dreamed of. Determined to find her own freedom, she disguises herself as a man, securing a place at the revered Fulda monastery and forever altering the course of her existence. Thus begins the life of John the Englishman: a matchless scholar and scribe of Fulda, then a charismatic heretic in an Athens commune and, by her middle years, a celebrated teacher in Rome. There, she dazzles the Church hierarchy with her knowledge of the old and new languages of Europe, theology and Church law, and finds herself at the heart of political intrigue in a city where gossip is a powerful - and deadly - currency. And when the only person who knows her identity arrives in Rome, she will risk everything to once again feel what it is to be known - and loved.

A fierce, feminist, sexy retelling of the life of the first and only female pope

Rapture

From USA Today bestselling author Jeneane O'Riley comes the first in a series of deliciously dark and whimsical standalone romances.Some secrets were never meant to be unearthed. Perched on a windswept cliff, Blackwood Manor looms like a dark monument to a mysterious family. Behind its grand iron gates, one part of the estate has been left to rot since the tragic death of Hester Blackwood: the once-glorious conservatory, now choked by vines and shattered glass. The rest of the family is gone--only her brooding son, Jasper, remains, the heir to a weapons empire. Desperate to save her job and out of options, botanist Eliza Arnold makes a bold gamble--drive to the manor and beg the elusive millionaire for a donation. Jasper agrees...on one chilling condition: restore the conservatory. Alone. No help. No leaving. But the manor is not empty. As Eliza battles thorns and secrets, a magnetic tension builds between her and Jasper--dark, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. And something else stirs among the roots and ruins...whispers in the walls, confusing disturbances, and a presence watching her every move. The deeper Eliza digs, the more she uncovers a garden of grief, longing...and desire. Because in Blackwood Manor, even buried things can bloom again.

How Can My Manager Be So Stupid?

In his final novel, the Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa returns to his native Peru. Toño Azpilcueta, proletarian intellectual, writer of sundry articles, aspirant to the now-defunct professorship of Peruvian studies, is an expert in the vals, a genre of music descended from the European waltz but rooted in New World creole culture. When he hears a performance by the elusive guitarist Lalo Molfino, Toño is convinced not only that he is in the presence of the country's finest musician, but also that his own love for Peruvian music, as he has long suspected, has a profound, provable social function. If he could just write the biography of the man before him and tell the story of both the vals and its attendant inspiring ethos, huachafería (Peru's great contribution to world culture, as per Toño), he might capture his country's soul and inspire his fellow citizens to remember the ties that bind them. Through music, the populace might come together, lay down their arms, and embrace a harmonious and unified Peruvian culture. Both a send-up of parochial idealism and a love song to the culture of his homeland, Mario Vargas Llosa's I Give You My Silence is the moving final novel of the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner, whose enduring works captured a changing Latin America. The tragic hero Toño and his belief in a democratic, proletarian music at odds with the culture and politics of a modern Peru scarred by violence is the writer's last statement on the revelatory, maddening, foolhardy, yet irrepressible conviction that art has profound transformative power.
