A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia's death and the conviction of the school's athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie.But when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course, Bodie is inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent aws. In their rush to convict Omar, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn't as much of an outsider at Granby as she'd thought—if, perhaps, back in 1995, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case.

Aclamado en todo el mundo como un monumento literario, La Divina Comedia, terminada en 1321 y escrita por Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), está considerada la obra literaria más importante escrita en italiano. El poema épico describe el viaje de Dante a través del infierno, el purgatorio y el cielo, representando, en un nivel más profundo, el camino del alma hacia la salvación. En los últimos años de su vida, el artista y poeta romántico William Blake (1757-1827) realizó 102 ilustraciones para la obra maestra de Dante, tanto bocetos a lápiz como acuarelas acabadas. Al igual que el revolucionario poema de Dante, los dibujos de Blake incluyen tanto escenas de sufrimiento infernal o luz celestial como horribles desfiguraciones humanas o de perfección física. Aunque fiel al texto, Blake también aportó su propio punto de vista sobre algunos de los temas centrales de Dante. Las ilustraciones de Blake, que en el momento de su muerte se hallaban en diferentes fases de ejecución, se encuentran hoy en siete instituciones distintas. Esta edición de TASCHEN reúne de nuevo todas estas imágenes acompañadas de fragmentos de la obra maestra de Dante. Dos textos introductorios evalúan la figura de Dante y de Blake relacionándolos con otros importantes artistas que también se inspiraron en la Divina Comedia, como Sandro Botticelli, Miguel Ángel, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Doré y Auguste Rodin. Mediante un análisis pormenorizado de las ilustraciones de Blake y muchos fragmentos ampliados que permiten maravillarse con los detalles más delicados, se dan cita en este volumen dos de los talentos artísticos más excepcionales de la historia ante unos temas tan universales como el amor, la culpa, el castigo, la venganza y la redención.

As with her most recent publications, Wrong Norma is a facsimile edition of the original hand-designed book, drawn and annotated by the author. Several of the twenty-five startling poetic prose pieces have appeared in magazines and journals like the New Yorker and the Paris Review.Anne Carson is probably our most celebrated living poet, winner of countless awards and routinely tipped for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Famously reticent, asking that her books be published without cover copy, she has agreed to say this:Wrong Norma is a collection of writings about different things, like Joseph Conrad, Guantanamo, Flaubert, snow, poverty, Roget's Thesaurus, my Dad, Saturday night, Sokrates, writing sonnets, forensics, encounters with lovers, the word ''idea'', the feet of Jesus, and Russian thugs. The pieces are not linked. That's why I've called them ''wrong''.

A shimmering, joyful new novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry.Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them?But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex…right?

An acclaimed young poet explores her identity as a twenty-first-century Indigenous woman. Poem by poem, Tibble carves out a bold new way of engaging history, of straddling modernity and ancestry, desire and exploitation.Intimate, moving, virtuosic, and hilarious, Tayi Tibble is one of the most exciting new voices in poetry today. In Poūkahangatus (pronounced “Pocahontas”), her debut volume, Tibble challenges a dazzling array of mythologies—Greek, Māori, feminist, kiwi—peeling them apart, respinning them in modern terms. Her poems move from rhythmic discussions of the Kardashians, sugar daddies, and Twilight to exquisite renderings of the natural world and precise emotions (“The lump in her throat swelled like a sea that threatened to take him from her, and she had to swallow hard”). Tibble is also a master narrator of teenage womanhood, its exhilarating highs and devastating lows, her high-camp aesthetics correlate to the overflowing beauty, irony, and ruination of her surroundings.These are warm, provocative, and profoundly original poems, written by a woman for whom diving into the wreck means taking on new assumptions—namely, that it is not radical to write from a world in which the effects of colonization, land, work, and gender are obviously connected. Along the way, Tibble scrutinizes perception and how she as a Māori woman fits into trends, stereotypes, and popular culture. With language that is at once colorful, passionate, and laugh-out-loud funny, Poūkahangatus is the work of one of our most daring new poets.
