The Illustrated Letters of Virginia Woolf
The moving story of the life and work of novelist Virginia Woolf, revealed through her own letters to those closest to her. Virginia Woolf is considered by many to be one of the greatest British writers and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. This collection of Woolf's letters offers a fascinating insight into her life, illuminating the complex personality of the writer herself and features real samples of her handwriting along with biographical notes and a family tree. The letters range from witty and irreverent to melancholy and introspective, with intimations of the bouts of mental illness that were to lead her to take her own life. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with photographs, paintings, and sketches of the people and places with which Virginia Woolf was most closely connected--many members of the Bloomsbury Group, such as Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, Roger Fry, and Duncan Grant.
Mamma Teresa's Diary
Teresa's son was one of the many Italian Military Internees (IMI), the Italian soldiers who, after the armistice of 8 September 1943, refused to side with the Republic of Sal簷 and Hitler and were subsequently deported to the Third Reich and German-occupied territories where they were forced to work in Nazi labour camps.When Mamma Teresa learns of her son's death, she is utterly grief-stricken. But her greatest suffering comes from not knowing where he was buried. It takes her five long years to obtain the necessary documents to travel abroad in search of his grave. But this is just the beginning of her ordeal. Setting off from Bova di Marrara, near Ferrara in northern Italy, she makes her way to Germany, all alone, without knowing a word of German and with very little money. The journey is long and arduous and Teresa records the experience in a diary, producing a unique and exceptional testimony. Decades later, Teresa's relatives dig out that same diary from an attic and hand it to the author, who thus inherits her memories. "A memorial to my poor son and to everything that his mamma did for him, because only a mother could do this for her son and I did it out of immense love."(From the diary of Mamma Teresa Zerbini n矇e Mascellani) ==========================================================================================Translated Author's biography: Silvia Pascale lives in Treviso, in northern Italy, and is a history teacher and researcher.After specialising in Roman History and carrying out several research projects in this field, she began conducting history workshops in classrooms and training teachers.

Transanything
A debut essay collection that upends our notions of loneliness, wilderness, and liberation Transanything reveals a world in metamorphosis. A hermit crab retires its shell, lovers drift apart, and seasons churn, all amid Ever Jones's own narrative of midlife gender transition. Jones takes up a tradition of writing--about the American landscape, solitude, wilderness, and the West--long intertwined with colonialism and heteropatriarchy, and makes it wholly their own. A self-proclaimed "nature essay" misbehaves, wandering away from the hummingbird outside Jones's window. In their chronicle of a week in Yellowstone, Jones navigates trails frequented by grizzlies and a campground where their identity is regarded as equally dangerous. Elk, bison, and bark spiders roam this book's pages, but it is the gray wolf--the embattled apex predator of the American West, narrow survivor of settler colonial violence, and vessel for American myths of independence--who emerges as Jones's shapeshifting coprotagonist. Taking on a global web of colonial systems that seek to divide us, Jones disrupts loneliness and forges space for queerness and transness to be aliveness--to be transanything.
The New Lesbian Pulp
A collection of reinvented queer pulp fiction by writers like Sarah Schulman and Lorraine Hansberry that's so edgy it draws blood. Lesbian pulp fiction thrived in the oppressive 1950s, telling subversive stories of lonely sapphic women who find connection, passion, and revenge. In The New Lesbian Pulp, editors Sarah Fonseca and Octavia Saenz revive the genre for today, layering nuance into classic tropes while dialing up the melodrama, romantic peril, and collateral damage. In these pages--which pair revived classics from Lorraine Hansberry and Alice Dunbar Nelson with new stories from Sarah Schulman, Grace Byron, Shamim Sharif, and more--vigilante lesbians gather roadkill for revenge, a woman and her former high school bully hook up and commit murder, Brooklyn witches cruise kink parties for human sacrifice, and a sinister kidnapping goes horribly wrong (or horribly right). Here, gathered just for you, are some of today's best lesbian pulp stories. Don't be afraid. Pick them up.
Travels in the Americas
Albert Camus's lively journals from his eventful visits to the United States and South America in the 1940s, available again in a new translation. In March 1946, the young Albert Camus crossed from Le Havre to New York. Though he was virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, all that was about to change--The Stranger, his first book translated into English, would soon make him a literary star. By 1949, when he set out on a tour of South America, Camus was an international celebrity. Camus's journals offer an intimate glimpse into his daily life during these eventful years and showcase his thinking at its most personal--a form of observational writing that the French call choses vues (things seen). Camus's journals from these travels record his impressions, frustrations, joys, and longings. Here are his unguarded first impressions of his surroundings and his encounters with publishers, critics, and members of the New York intelligentsia. Long unavailable in English, the journals have now been expertly retranslated by Ryan Bloom, with a new introduction by Alice Kaplan. Bloom's translation captures the informal, sketch-like quality of Camus's observations--by turns ironic, bitter, cutting, and melancholy--and the quick notes he must have taken after exhausting days of travel and lecturing. Bloom and Kaplan's notes and annotations allow readers to walk beside the existentialist thinker as he experiences changes in his own life and the world around him, all in his inimitable style.
Witch
An exploration of the Witch, as radical archetype, in ancient and contemporary life. An adult woman haunted by her childhood muses on the foster system, institutions, and the medieval tale of a girl given to a witch. A genderqueer Brooklynite learns of their past life as a murdered sorceress. An uptight participant at a Northern California witch camp finds community in the kitchen. A professor uses magic to help students under attack by right-wing politicians. In this collection of manifesto, poetry, playscripts, and prose, the archetype of the Witch is honored and unpacked, poked and prodded, owned and othered. From work centered in antiquity to writing which illustrates how primordial occult energies continue to enliven our world today, WITCH: Anthology lays bare a wilderness of myth, magic, trickery, and power swarming beneath the surface of contemporary life. With work from CAConrad, Edgar Fabi獺n Fr穩as, Amanda Yates Garcia, Ashley Ray, Brooke Palmieri, Yumi Sakugawa, Kai Cheng Thom, Ariel Gore, Myriam Gurba, Fariha R籀is穩n, and many others.
Devil in a Coma
One morning in March 2021 with the second wave of infections ripping through Ireland where he was newly resident, Mark Lanegan woke up breathless, fatigued beyond belief, his body burdened with a gigantic dose of Covid-19. Admitted to Kerry Hospital and initially given little hope of survival, Lanegan's illness has him slipping in and out of a coma, unable to walk or function for several months and fearing for his life. As his situation becomes more intolerable over the course of that bleakest of springs he is assaulted by nightmares, visions and regrets about a life lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. He is prompted to consider his predicament and how, in his sixth decade, his lifelong battle with mortality has led to this final banal encounter with a disease that has undone millions, when he has apparently been cheating death for his whole existence. Written in vignettes of prose and poetry, DEVIL IN A COMA is a terrifying account of illness and the remorse that comes with it by an artist and writer with singular vision.
Titanic Legacy
On 3 July 1930, a maid discovered the dead body of her employer on the floor of the sitting room in an upmarket apartment in Temple, London. The victim was 37-year-old Sidney Russell Cooke, mysteriously shot through the stomach by a hunting rifle. He was the husband of Titanic Captain Edward Smith's only daughter, Helen, known to friends as 'Mel'. Unknown to many, he was also an MI5 spy, described as a 'prototype James Bond' - and the esteemed Cambridge economist John Maynard Keynes' lover. Never before published private letters and family photographs tell the true, untold story of a legendary captain, the mysterious death of a British spy and an inspirational daughter who stepped out of the shadow of misfortune to carve her own path. By the time Mel was 49 she had lost her father, mother, husband, son, and daughter, all in unusual circumstances. Yet she would become a pilot, a driver of fast cars, an artist's muse and collector of fine art, living within a coterie of suffragettes, politicians, Russian spies, yachtsmen, gay lovers and the fabulously wealthy.
Cancer
Cancer - Tom Raworth's ' lost' book - was originally to have been published by Frontier Press in 1973. After Frontier's funds ran out, the typescript was returned to its author, and its opening section, ' Logbook', was published as a standalone volume by Poltroon Press in 1976. Revised versions of Cancer's other two sections were published separately in the 1980s; the original versions of both - the ' Journal' as written in the opening months of 1971, and the letters Raworth sent to Edward Dorn in the spring of that year, during his residency at the Yaddo artists' retreat in Saratoga Springs, New York - are published here for the first time.

The Private Thoughts of a Traveling Preacher's Wife
Louisa Foster came to Texas as a child with the Old Three Hundred, the first settlers brought to Texas by Stephen F. Austin. She married a young traveling preacher from Tennessee, the Rev. Finis Foster. Unlike many women at this time, Louisa was educated and well read. During this period, discussions and critical views of religion were the domains of the men. Louisa, however, voiced her views freely and believed that women should be allowed to do so. Having turned to religion for consolation following multiple deaths in her family, Louisa organized and led her own weekly prayer group and was one of the few women to actively try to convert both men and women to her church.She kept a diary, and in these eleven journals from 1847 to 1870, Louisa recounts the difficult weather conditions, the Civil War, religion, conflicting views on slavery, the prices of goods, disease and medicine, and raising a family on the frontier in Central Texas. Louisa's youngest son, John Collier Foster, also kept a diary, from 1882 to 1883, with vivid descriptions of his social life in town and his impressions of seeing the first electric light and the first telephone. These firsthand accounts give unique insight into life in Texas in the mid-nineteenth century.

He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him. A beautiful object in its own right, in Memories of Distant Mountains readers can explore Pamuk's intoxicating inner world and can have a fascinating, intimate encounter with the art, culture, and charged political currents that have shaped one of literature's most important voices.
