Tynan D: We Used to Dance Here

We Used to Dance Here

Mittens and Pity

A beautiful, full-color tribute to the story of public housing in America, told through reminiscences about emblematic objects by former and current public housing residentsOver the past century, more than 10 million people across the nation-including well-known figures from Barbra Streisand to former Chicago DA Kim Foxx-have called public housing home, yet since the 1990s, thousands of public housing units across the United States have been demolished. Today, housing insecurity is one of the most pressing social issues facing the nation. Building on an exhibit at the brand-new National Public Housing Museum, We Are All Family Here is designed to help facilitate national dialogue about the history and importance of public housing through the intimacy of residents' memories of prized, and ordinary, everyday objects. The book will include full-color photos of over two dozen objects-from a championship boxing belt owned by Lee Roy "Solid Gold" Murphy and the leather motorcycle jacket of legendary Cabrini-Green organizer&nbsp;Marion Stamps, to a camera, a Pyrex dish, and a wedding dress-along with photos of the individuals who have provided them, as well as brief essays by the objects' owners, describing each object's significance with respect to the time the owner resided in a public housing building. The book also includes essays by experts on housing and homelessness in America. Together, these objects will tell both the beautiful and troubled history of public housing, and the diverse experiences of those who have survived and thrived in those communities.

The Story of Public Housing in 35 Everyday Objects

We Are All Family Here

The Dogs in the Street

Words begin to lose their meanings, flaking off into air like moths. Friendships cultivated over a lifetime fall apart in testing circumstances. What does the stranger with yellow eyes really want?From Far Around They Saw Us Burn is the eagerly awaited first short story collection from Alice Jolly, one of the most exciting and accomplished voices in British fiction today. The extraordinary range of work gathered here is united by a fascination with how everyday interactions can transform our lives in unpredictable ways. These are stories of lonely people, outcasts and misfits, and the ghosts that inhabit our intimate spaces. The result is a compelling, arresting and, at times, devastating collection ‿ not least in the title story, which was inspired by the tragic true events of the 1943 Cavan orphanage fire. Written with an exemplary eye for detail and an intimate understanding of the complexities of human nature, Jolly's collection builds up towards the ultimate question: what is revealed of us when we peel away the surfaces, and is it enough?

From Far Around They Saw Us Burn

The new action-packed political/espionage thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of the James Reece series.&nbsp;

Untitled James Reece 8

'Sensuously detailed . . . edgy . . . riveting' Financial TimesTwo strangers meet on a bus along a dusty road in rural France. Tati is a tough, work-worn widow, who runs the farm her late husband left behind, while trying to keep out of the way of her predatory in-laws. Jean is an odd, quiet man, recently out of prison, with nowhere to go. These lost souls recognize something in each other, and Jean becomes Tati's lodger and farm worker. In the still and heat of the summer, they labour together and, inevitably, begin to sleep together. Soon, however, their strange affair will become something altogether darker. First published in 1942 at the same time as Albert Camus' The Outsider, this is Simenon's existentialist masterpiece, exploring the dangerous mystery of who we are and what we desire. 'Published, like The Outsider, in 1942, and at least equal to Camus's work in portraying a doomed and alienated life' David Hare

I Meant It Once

'What a ride this is! A big wide book. An amazingly vivid piece of writing, from the hilarious to the horrifying and everything in between' BRIAN ENO Meet Seth Brakes. Musician. Reluctant romantic. Inherent troublemaker. Addict. And three hundred and twenty days sober. After a near-death experience, Seth is carving a new path for himself. Having reformed the band - the infamous Lucky Fuckers - things are looking up for Seth: gigs are falling back into the diary, he's in love and finally getting back to what he enjoys most: writing music. That is until his past starts to creep up on him . . . A dark comedy that is painfully honest, original and dynamically told, When I Died For the First Time is a raw account of a man tested his uppermost limits, hitting legendary highs and crashing to catastrophic lows. It's a tale of second chances, love lost and gained, and coming back to yourself: a story that stays with you long after you've turned the last page.

When I Died for the First Time

Virago Modern Classics

Barbara Comyns' witty and touching classic The Vet's Daughter tells the story of Alice, a young woman from Edwardian South London who is gripped by strange and mysterious powers.

A Virago Modern Classic

The Vet's Daughter

A stirring exploration of war, race and belonging from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved. An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his shattered sense of self, he unearths the courage he thought he'd lost forever. It is with incantatory power that Morrison's language reveals an apparently defeated man finding his manhood - and, finally, his home. 'No other writer in my lifetime, or perhaps ever, has married so completely an understanding of the structures of power with knowledge of the human heart' Kamila Shamsie, GuardianWinner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction
