Jesus' Son is a visionary chronicle of dreamers, addicts, and lost souls.

Download Ideas of Heaven: A Ring of Stories Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Shortlisted for the National Book Award: "Joan Silber writes with wisdom, humor, grace, and wry intelligence. Her characters bear welcome news of how we will survive."—Andrea Barrett Intense in subject yet restrained in tone, these stories are about longings—often held for years—and the ways in which sex and religion can become parallel forms of dedication and comfort. Though the stories stand alone, a minor element in one becomes major in the next. In "My Shape", a woman is taunted by her dance coach, who later suffers his own heartache. A Venetian poet of the 1500s, another storyteller, is introduced to a modern traveler reading Rilke. His story precedes a mesmerizing narrative of missionaries in China. In the final story, Giles, born to a priesthood family, leans toward Buddhism after a grievous loss, and in time falls in love with the dancer of the first story. So deft and subtle is Joan Silber with these various perspectives that we come full circle surprised and enchanted by her myriad worlds. National Book Award finalist. Reading group guide included.

Download We Are Never Meeting in Real Life. Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This essay collection from the “bitches gotta eat” blogger, writer on Hulu’s Shrill, and “one of our country’s most fierce and foulmouthed authors” (Amber Tamblyn, Vulture) is sure to make you alternately cackle with glee and cry real tears. Whether Samantha Irby is talking about how her difficult childhood has led to a problem in making “adult” budgets; explaining why she should be the new Bachelorette (she's "35-ish, but could easily pass for 60-something"); detailing a disastrous pilgrimage-slash-romantic-vacation to Nashville to scatter her estranged father's ashes; sharing awkward sexual encounters; or dispensing advice on how to navigate friendships with former drinking buddies who are now suburban moms (hang in there for the Costco loot!); she’s as deft at poking fun at the ghosts of her past self as she is at capturing powerful emotional truths.

Download Just a Book Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Just a Book is a delightful set of mystical, magical short stories that will capture your imagination as you are transported to exotic worlds far, far away. Be prepared for your heart to take flight as you follow the adventures of each memorable character in this unusual collection of seven remarkable tales. True romantics everywhere will discover just a tiny bit of themselves in normal, everyday Abigail, the heroine in the title story of Just a Book. Abigail longs to become a famous writer, yet her inspiration only comes during sleep, when a warrior hero and his priestess love play out their romance in Abigail's dreams. When a transcript of her dreams becomes a bestselling book, Abigail must learn the hard truth that success can never be cherished if the price is too steep. Each of the remaining stories in Just a Book, from "Embrace in Flames," the story of Nora the doomed sorceress, to "Beloved Enemy," the tale of Sir Sterdan, a dragon-slaying knight, are set against an unexpected concoction of both real-world and makebelieve locations. So much more than Just a Book, these seven short stories will delight readers with a host of unforgettable characters moving through an endless series of fascinating twists and turns of fate.
