True D: Memoirs of a Treasury Agent

Memoirs of a Treasury Agent

One of Literary Hub's most anticipated books of 2024. Winner of the 2025 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature. Finalist for the 2025 Zora Awards. Dionne Brand explores English and American literature, and the colonial aesthetic that shaped her sense of self and the world, of what was possible and what was not. In Salvage: Readings from the Wreck, Dionne Brand's first major book of nonfiction since her classic A Map to the Door of No Return, the acclaimed poet and novelist offers a bracing look at the intersections of reading and life, and what remains in the wreck of empire. Blending literary criticism and autobiography-as-artifact, Brand reads Aphra Behn's Oroonoko, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, and Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, among other still widely studied works, to explore encounters with colonial, imperialist, and racist tropes from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries-tropes that continue in new forms today. Brand vividly shows how contemporary practices of reading and writing are shaped by the narrative structures of these and related works, and explores how, in the face of this, one writes a narrative of Black life that attends to its own consciousness and expression. With the power and eloquence of a great poet coupled with the rigor of a deep and subtle thinker, Brand reveals how she learned to read the literature of two empires, British and American, in an anticolonial light-in order to survive, and in order to live. This is the library, the wreck, and the potential for salvage she offers us now, in a brilliant, groundbreaking, and essential work.

Readings from the Wreck

Salvage

Ein argloser Sohn kurdischer Zuwanderer, der im elterlichen Auftrag seine Schwester und deren Säugling liquidiert; drei Jugendliche, die an einem langen Samstag in der Haft einen Mitinsassen in den Selbstmord treiben; ein smarter Anästhesist, der sich an sedierten Patientinnen vergeht: In den dokumentarischen Kriminalgeschichten von Joe Bausch lösen keine Monster, sondern eher gewöhnlich erscheinende Täter und Täterinnen die größten Schrecken aus. Der populäre Schauspieler, langjährige Gefängnisarzt und Erfolgsautor setzt sich auch in seinem neuen Buch über jeden Voyeurismus hinweg, um dunkle Kammern einer immer stärker fragmentierten Gesellschaft auszuleuchten. Die packenden Geschichten setzen den menschlichen Makel in den Kontext einer brisant gewandelten Zeit.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Die Signatur des Bösen - wahre Geschichten

Totraum

Forget Not is a fascinating memoir of three Peters who share not only a name but a legacy. The youngest of the three, Peter Alfred Wolvin Thomson, it reflects on his grandfather, Peter Alfred Thomson, and, more centrally, the life and business career of his father, Peter Nesbitt Thomson. Set against the changing landscape of Montreal, Quebec, and Canada from the late nineteenth century to the 1970s, this book is a history of enterprise and family and a vision of energy and power that helped shape a nation. The story begins with Peter Alfred Thomson, a Heinz salesman from Hamilton, Ontario, who co-founded the stock brokerage firm Nesbitt Thomson in 1912 and Power Corporation of Canada in 1925. His son, Peter Nesbitt Thomson, inherited a substantial fortune in hydroelectric and petroleum concerns, which he took into bold, creative directions across Canada and into the Caribbean throughout the turbulent 1960s. Rising nationalism in Quebec and resource nationalization would result in the sale of Thomson holdings to BC Hydro and the Quebec government under Jean Lesage during the Quiet Revolution. By the end of the 1960s, Peter Nesbitt had sold Power Corporation of Canada to Paul Desmarais. Betrayed by a provincial Liberal Party that he had long supported, Peter Nesbitt would leave Montreal for good after the Parti Québécois was elected in 1976. Peter Alfred Wolvin Thomson recounts his own path in investment banking and real estate development, culminating in the Cayman Islands and controlling interests in WestIndies PowerCorporation /CaribbeanUtilities Company, the first company based in the Cayman Islands to be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Both a personal reckoning with a family’s past and a chronicle of social, political, and business history, Forget Not examines the forces that drove business enterprises and families from Quebec during a turbulent era that transformed Canadian history.

The Making of a Permabear

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weekly nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

The Henry G. Fenton Story

San Diego Rising

We live in the Age of Shock, an era in which the interval between global crises has collapsed to zero and human biology is overwhelmed by an exponential torrent of data. Leaders who don't respond effectively face a stark reality: neither they nor their organizations will keep up for long.Through his own remarkable story of survival, Chaim Oren teaches leaders to abandon the outdated myth of resilience--'bouncing back'--and instead learn how to rise forward. Instead of trying to withstand shocks, he shows how to convert the kinetic force of continuous disruption into upward momentum.This is a clear-eyed, highly actionable blueprint that transforms wellbeing into the mission-critical, load-bearing infrastructure required to survive the biological and organizational friction of our time.

The Leadership Playbook for the Age of Shock

One Week to Live

A gripping and entertaining memoir that shines a rare light on an industry that is disrupting our lives. Veteran Morgan Stanley banker Alok Sama thought he'd seen it all. Then he found himself chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world-SoftBank, the backer of Arm Holdings, Yahoo, Nvidia, TikTok, Uber, T-Mobile, Alibaba and WeWork. The Money Trap is Sama's thrilling, stranger-than-fiction personal odyssey featuring his experiences alongside SoftBank's iconic founder, Masayoshi Son, a visionary maverick who wants to be remembered as "the crazy guy who bet on the future" and whose mission is "happiness for everyone." Sama takes the reader on a wild journey as he consorts with A-list CEOs and heads of state, and negotiates mega-deals on a Gulfstream jet, Son's sanctuary with its exquisite Japanese garden, and a waterside restaurant in the Turkish Riviera-all while contending with a mysterious dark-arts smear campaign that takes a toll on his private life. This fascinating and humorous saga provides a unique insider perspective on the insanity of high finance and venture investing. Written with self-deprecating wit, unflinching honesty and searing introspection, The Money Trap is ultimately a morality tale: in life, as in technology investing, more money isn't always the answer.

Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble

The Money Trap

"Powerful." — Wall Street Journal An immigration journalist and her wife trace their family’s intertwined past to unearth a history of how hundreds of thousands of Polish Jews survived Hitler’s Holocaust at the brutal hands of Stalin—a story that sheds light on the enduring power of hope and love. Daniela Gerson and her wife, Talia Inlender, met at a picnic in Los Angeles, not knowing that 75 years earlier, their grandparents had left homes only blocks away from each other in a small Polish town, and fled east to Ukraine. The Gersons and the Inlenders would go on parallel odysseys of 5,000 miles to survive the Holocaust—journeys that would, after a deceitful loyalty test from Stalin, put them on cattle cars to a Soviet Gulag, trap them for years in limbo in Central Asia, and would end, after a decade on the run, with new lives built on secrets and lies. For years, Daniela and Talia simply accepted this painful shared history as a sign that they were b’shert, meant to be. Their families’ refugee past fueled their work: Daniela as an immigration journalist; Talia an immigration attorney. But as Daniela uncovered more, she realized that their grandparents shared this escape path in the Soviet Union with most Polish Jews who survived; a group—sometimes collectively called “the Wanderers”—that is almost entirely absent from popular understanding of World War II. And unlike most Holocaust sagas that focus on the exceptionality of the Nazi genocide, theirs was also a universal story of refugees making impossible decisions when forced to seek safety, protect their children, and find new homes. This is a story that, to the dismay of the world, remains relevant each time a political upheaval wreaks havoc on individual lives. Part genealogical detective story, part gripping history, part contemporary reporting on war-torn territories, The Wanderers chronicles Daniela’s journey to unearth this past with her wife, and reveal its echoes in still-contested lands from Ukraine to Israel. The Wanderers is a groundbreaking narrative history, and a meditation on how a home left behind and a desperate journey to survive reverberates across borders and through generations.

A Story of Exile, Survival, and Unexpected Love in the Shadow of World War II

The Wanderers

Warum Kreativität schon immer die richtige Antwort auf alle Probleme warEinst war die Logik unser ganzer Stolz. Alles haben wir geplant und gemessen. Doch plötzlich verstehen wir die Welt nicht mehr. Wir haben uns verrechnet. Nun drängt auch noch Künstliche Intelligenz in unser Leben und auf unsere Bildschirme. Die Logik kennt keine Grenzen mehr. Die Zukunft scheint nicht länger eine Verheißung zu sein, sondern eine Zumutung. Controller denken: Der Mensch ist kostspielig, kompliziert und unkalkulierbar. Ihn zu ersetzen verspricht große Profitsprünge. Das ist Kapitalismus next level.&nbsp; 
Frank Dopheide findet, es ist höchste Zeit, sich auf das zu besinnen, was uns Menschen wirklich ausmacht. Wir sind schöpferische Wesen. Unser Einfallsreichtum kann Leben retten - und unseren Feierabend. Kreativität kann Menschen zum Weinen und Lachen bringen und ein ganzes Stadion zum Mitsingen. Kreativität ist kein Kurs in der Volkshochschule, sondern der Moment, in dem man Flügel bekommt und über sich hinauswächst. Geben wir den Menschen den Glauben an das Wunder der Kreativität zurück. Hier ist das Buch dazu. Zum Lesen, Staunen, Freuen, Mitmachen und Verschenken.&nbsp;
