Little Miss Little Compton
Comedian and actress Arden Myrin delivers a hilarious and heartfelt memoir about navigating adulthood and her rise on the comedy scene despite an unconventional upbringing. Arden Myrin is the product of not one, but two hasty decisions. Her paternal grandparents ran off and got married twenty-four hours after they met. Arden's parents did one better -- they married on a dare. Growing up in Arden's family, her dad ate nothing but sheet cake, while her mom was busy teaching a Cub Scout troop how to put on a Broadway musical. Oh, and she grew up in a small farm town called Little Compton, Rhode Island. Human population: 3,518. Cow population: 278. General Store: One. Stop Lights: Zero. At nineteen, Arden packed her bags with stars in her eyes and landed at ImprovOlympic in Chicago, where for the first time in her life she felt like she finally made sense. After drinking in as much comedy experience (and Sea Breezes) as she could, Arden got her big break when she was cast on an NBC sitcom. She moved to Los Angeles, knowing no one, and quickly realized she had no clue how to be a fully-grown human adult on her own. How do you date someone and not ruin it? How do you interact with people if you have a teeny bit of social anxiety? How do you stand up for yourself if you're a people pleaser? And most of all, how do you start to believe that you are enough? From small town Rhode Island to accidentally kicking Courteney Cox in the face on a soundstage in Hollywood, Arden's hilarious, inspiring, and honest story shows readers how one totally unconventional upbringing might be the very thing one needs to thrive, all while showing up as your most outrageous, authentic self. Shout out to Little Compton!! Woot Woot!!!

The Best of Me
"Genius... It is miraculous to read these pieces... You must read The Best of Me." --Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times Book Review A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A CNN and Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Month For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler's lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say "give it to me" in five languages, and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird. But if all you expect to find in Sedaris's work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. Here, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms--at long last--with the other. Full of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that has led David Sedaris to be called "the funniest man alive" (Time Out New York), The Best of Me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing--quite often at himself--and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time.

Catchall
Catchall is a catch of all the variety of my past unorganized thoughts and philosophies. During the last-period of years, I've been writing myself letters and essays about what's gone on in my mind and what I think and believe with a little humor and a few dreams. However, such a variety of thoughts and ideas did not make a single simple topic that might make a single simple book. Pressed with new ideas that would now make a more cohesive book, I thought my former ideas and essays were important enough to be saved in this book. I couldn't see them wasting away in the computer or inaccessible in a notebook. I wanted to give them a life and let them be free to garner whatever brilliance or aversion is their due. In three articles, Body Surfing, Matusak and Raindrops on my Face, I have taken former prose and presented them.
100 Stories
What else can be said about John Hinson's 100 Stories series that hasn't been written yet? You know what this book covers, and you should at least have some idea of what to expect as you go through this set of stories. It's hard to write the same thing six different ways, but it's also hard to write as many books as John has written up to this point. For this sixth edition of the 100 Stories series, John has continued his relentless combing and scraping of historical records to find the stories you've likely never heard before. He is most certainly on a government watch list because of it, but he does it for you.
Ceres’ Runaway
A poised, luminous voice returns to print. Ceres' Runaway gathers the sensuous music of late Victorian poetry for today's readers, inviting both casual lovers of verse and serious students of literature to listen anew. This poetry collection walks a delicate line between intimate, feminine identity and sweeping mythic symbolism. Across its verse-narrative arcs, nature imagery becomes a language for feeling, memory, and discovery, while its meditations on place situate late Victorian Britain within a rich, evolving British literary scene. The book speaks with clarity and ardour about what it means to see, to speak, and to be heard in a world of tradition and change. For poetry lovers, it offers spare, precise craftsmanship; for literature students, a compact, resonant corpus that rewards close reading and discussion. Ceres' Runaway is more than a reprint. It is a piece of literary history, a bridge to Victorian female poets and to George Meredith poetry in conversation with contemporary sensibilities. Its restoration preserves tone, cadence, and atmosphere while making it accessible to new generations of readers and collectors alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it stands as a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting ongoing discovery for scholars, classroom discussion, and all who seek beauty that endures.

The New Yorker Didn’t Want You to Read These
The New Yorker is one of those, writerly, Holy Grail kind of markets. When "ideas" blossom in the heads of we-the-mentally-ill (if I could stop writing or find some other way to clear my head, I would), when we commit them to paper or, more accurately-really for most of my life at this point-put-fingers-to-keyboard it is one of the main targets: try The New Yorker first; when you fail, go regional; if that fails, go local; after that it's just . . . some personal archive or other.Which is what the thirty+ pieces here mostly are: personal archive, almost all of them rejected by The New Yorker's "Shouts & Murmurs" column-although, at this point, about two thirds of them published online.The final, five-piece, section is comprised of work that was done when I was maintaining my Hydrocarbonaholics Anonymous blog (or fever dream). A more comprehensive explanation precedes those essays. Good stuff? Bad stuff?You be the judge.
