Boyd T: The Good Government League of
Polk County, Tennessee by Tyler L. Boyd

The Good Government League of Polk County, Tennessee by Tyler L. Boyd

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

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.

Writing Through Capitalist Realisms

Against Nonfiction

An accessible, practical, and timeless guide to entrepreneurship from the founder/developer of some of Canada's most successful businesses, including Premiere Van Lines and Moore Executive Suites. Tim Moore understands success. As a serial entrepreneur who started with nothing--he failed several grades, he had no formal business education, and he was on his way to becoming a priest--he has gone on to found numerous flourishing enterprises. "I'm an eternal optimist. I always think there's a way forward," Moore writes in How I Made It. At the age of twenty-one, he transformed a one-man, one-truck moving outfit into the biggest moving company in Canada, AMJ Campbell Van Lines, which twenty years later had a thousand trucks on the road and boasted $125 million in annual revenue; later, he founded Premiere Suites, which became the largest extended-stay provider in Canada. Moore believes his model of success can work for other entrepreneurs. Among the most important tools for success are work ethic, strong interpersonal skills, and integrity. His management style is about attracting talented individuals with great attitudes, strong values, and a great capacity to laugh and have fun. When change is afoot, opportunities arise. With 36 colour images, How I Made It, Moore's third book, sets out to make Moore's own path to success clear--and to provide his life lessons as a guide and an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs. 100 percent of royalties (plus matching dollars up to $20K) will be donated to the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia.

Secrets of a Self-Made Multi-Millionaire

How I Made It

Success can hide a lot of pain. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down. Anthony Giannotti looked successful from the outside, but inside he was quietly falling apart. A nationally recognized barber, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of multiple thriving businesses, Giannotti had built the life he'd always wanted. But behind the packed barbershops, sold-out classes, and endless travel lived something darker: anxiety, addiction, broken relationships, crushing self-doubt, and the "black cloud" that followed him everywhere he went. Then came the morning he woke in a hotel room to the news that Anthony Bourdain had died by suicide. That moment became the razor's edge between the life he was living—and the one he still had a chance to save. No Guard is an unflinching memoir about chasing success while losing yourself, growing up in a strict religious household, finding purpose through barbering and punk rock, surviving divorce, addiction, and depression, and discovering that healing isn't found in fame, money, or another drink—it's found in finally facing the parts of yourself you've spent a lifetime trying to outrun. Raw, darkly funny, and deeply compassionate, No Guard offers an unforgettable portrait of masculinity, vulnerability, and second chances. For anyone who has wrestled with anxiety, questioned their worth, or wondered whether it's ever too late to start over, Anthony Giannotti proves that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is put your guard down.

Lebenserinnerungen eines liberalen Politikers

Christine Lagarde is a woman of firsts: first female head of the IMF, first female President of the ECB - and all without a classic career path through the world of finance. In her first autobiography, she recounts her rise, her successes and setbacks, and her fight against prejudice. It sheds light on the great crises of the global economy, her courageous decisions, and her distinctive perspective on power, emancipation, and change. Complemented by the voices of her most important companions, the result is a multifaceted portrait of a woman who breaks boundaries and consistently challenges the status quo.

Lady First

Now with a new foreword by Harvard Law Professor and former Assistant Attorney General Jack Goldsmith, and with a new concluding chapter from the author on the unprecedented ethical challenges in the first year of Trump 2.0. Essential reading for anyone interested in modern American politics, get the book that former President Barack Obama on X calls "a deeply thoughtful book" and says, "couldn't be a more timely read." Part memoir, part rumination on the declining moral compass of the American political class, The Unraveling is the first book to place restoring political ethics at the center of the renewal of American democracy. Politics is a brutal game, but Bauer asks where does the line fall between the "hardball" of politics and attacks on the very foundation of democracy? Looking back on 46 years in the political arena, Bauer tries to better grasp what has gone wrong and to understand what shaped his own decisions and actions. He offers anecdotes, perspectives, and insights that are vitally relevant in our world today, including efforts in 2020 (and 2024) to defend our democratic system of elections from attack and distrust, and the struggles with social media, such as Meta, to combat disinformation in a post-truth politics. The expanded paperback edition includes a new concluding chapter highlighting the ethical failures of public institutions under the the second Trump administration-law firms, universities, and the media, as well as the Trump administration itself-and the imperative to do better in order to preserve the consent of the governed in American democracy. He writes about the various personal experiences along the way-the highs, the lows, and the absurd. Bauer presents a smart and serious look at our political culture and the role that he has played in shaping it. The Unraveling will be essential reading for anyone interested in American politics of the last 50 years--and the next.

Reflections on Politics without Ethics and Democracy in Crisis

The Unraveling

Part legal thriller, part untold Howard Hughes history, Life, Death &amp; Domicile is attorney Rick Harrison's firsthand account of the eight-year battle over the billionaire's estate—and the disturbing evidence his investigation uncovered about the men who controlled Hughes during the final years of his life. On April 5, 1976, Howard Hughes—the aviator, industrialist, Hollywood mogul, and one of the richest men in the world—was flown from Acapulco toward Houston in catastrophic physical condition. He was seventy years old, severely emaciated and dehydrated, dependent on drugs, and had been hidden from public view for years. He died before reaching the hospital. His death was only the beginning. Drawing on Harrison's firsthand experience, testimony, depositions, medical evidence, court battles, and encounters with the remarkable cast of characters surrounding Hughes, Life, Death &amp; Domicile: The Kidnapping of Howard Hughes tells the story of a young lawyer handed the case of a lifetime—and the disturbing world he discovered behind the locked doors surrounding one of America's most famous billionaires. Part courtroom drama, part investigative history, and part legal memoir, it is the story of the battle for Howard Hughes's fortune—and the fight to determine who controlled the man before everyone began fighting over what he left behind.

A fiercely honest business story follows one founder's bucket idea, from local feed needs to global leadership. "If I can start a business selling buckets, anyone can start their own business. It doesn't matter where you come from. What matters is where you're going, even if you're not clear what the final destination is." John Concannon wasn't supposed to be a global CEO. He grew up on a farm in County Galway, struggled at school, and spent his teens and twenties wheeling and dealing in cattle and sheep. By 31, married with four young children, he was desperate to work for himself. He had one simple idea -- stick three buckets together to make feeding calves easier. That 'half-cocked notion' changed everything. An appearance on The Late Late Show in December 1987 made him a household name and launched a company that today turns over 150 million. JFC has 12 locations around the world and employs hundreds of staff designing and manufacturing products used in agriculture, construction, aquaculture and other sectors. The Bucket Man is the raw, funny and fiercely honest story of how John, his family and the JFC team built a thriving global business from a small town in the west of Ireland. Packed with hard-won wisdom, it traces his journey from cattle marts to boardrooms and trade shows across Europe. Whether he's flying hot air balloons, going undercover on The Secret Millionaire TV show, or facing down hard-nosed dealmakers, John is living proof that if you believe in yourself, you can build a legacy that lasts.
