Audacious and genre-defying, Black and Blue is steeped in melancholy, in the feeling of being blue, or, rather, black and blue, with all the literality of bruised flesh. Roland Barthes and Marcel Proust are inspirations for and subjects of Carol Mavor's exquisite, image-filled rumination on efforts to capture fleeting moments and to comprehend the incomprehensible. At the book's heart are one book and three films—Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida, Chris Marker's La Jetée and Sans soleil, and Marguerite Duras's and Alain Resnais's Hiroshima mon amour—postwar French works that register disturbing truths about loss and regret, and violence and history, through aesthetic refinement.
Personal recollections punctuate Mavor's dazzling interpretations of these and many other works of art and criticism. Childhood memories become Proust's "small-scale contrivances," tiny sensations that open onto panoramas. Mavor's mother lost her memory to Alzheimer's, and Black and Blue is framed by the author's memories of her mother and effort to understand what it means to not be recognized by one to whom you were once so known.

Cult shoe designer John Fluevog has been creating "unique soles for unique souls" since 1970. Colorful and quirky, Fluevog shoes have graced the feet of celebrities such as Madonna, Jack White and Lady Gaga, as well as legions of lifelong fans who consider themselves more a community than mere customers. Known for cheeky slogans such as "no, you're weird" and the message engraved on the soles of his iconic Angel shoes: "Resists alkali, water, acid, fatigue and Satan," the Fluevog brand is a celebration of individualism, creativity and humour. These values flow directly from the heart of Fluevog himself, who says that his mission in business and in life is to help people "walk in spirit."
To mark his fiftieth year in the shoe business in 2020, John Fluevog has penned a love letter to Fluvogers everywhere in FLUEVOG: 50 Years of Unique Soles for Unique Souls. In this full-color, visually rich coffee table book, Fluevog gives fans and fashionistas a behind-the-scenes look into the brand's evolution and his own creative process. For the first time in print, the iconoclastic designer reveals the sources of his inspiration, shares drawings from his personal sketchbooks, and opens up about his brushes with bankruptcy and battle with cancer. With his unmistakable jovial warmth, Fluevog reveals the ups and downs of the business's evolution and his own personal triumphs and heartbreaks with disarming candor and intimacy.
Echoing the eclectic style of Fluevog's whimsical and witty zine-style catalogs over the years, the book features Fluevog's own design sketches and handwritten messages, blended with stories, graphics and previously unpublished photographs from the Fluevog archives. The book is a fascinating peek inside the colorful mind of the iconoclastic designer and a celebration of creativity and individualism, while also paying homage to the wild and beautiful John Fluevog shoes themselves.

Описание: "Do you like going for long walks?" Being asked this question by a fellow pilgrim, or peregrino, a few days into my month-long journey walking 500 miles across northern Spain seems ridiculous. And then I realize it's a brilliant question. It seeks to answer why someone would embark on such a challenge.Honestly, I don't like walking. So why would I - or anyone - take a month off from work and life leaving their family behind to walk the Camino de Santiago?The physical, mental, and spiritual journey that is the Camino is profoundly personal yet universally transformational. The greatest challenge is staying transformed when you get off the trail and go back home to your normal life.Walk with Blaine Rada as he shares his daily diary filled with insights, humor, and his quest for meaning. And chocolate milk. From Sore Soles to a Soaring Soul is the book he never intended to write. And is so glad he did. All profits from the sale of this book will be donated to charities that support the Camino.
