Описание: "A strange and beguiling masterpiece." --Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like MineA hypnotic, wildly inventive novel about art, violence, and endurance
Alice Knott lives alone, a reclusive heiress haunted by memories of her deceased parents and mysterious near-identical brother. Much of her family's fortune has been spent on a world-class collection of artwork, which she stores in a vault in her lonely, cavernous house. One day, she awakens to find the artwork destroyed, the act of vandalism captured in a viral video that soon triggers a rash of copycat incidents. As more videos follow and the world's most priceless works of art are destroyed one by one, Alice finds that she has become the chief suspect in an international conspiracy--even as her psyche becomes a shadowed landscape of childhood demons and cognitive disorder. Unsettling, almost physically immersive, Alice Knott is a virtuoso exploration of the meaning of art and the lasting afterlife of trauma, as well as a deeply humane portrait of a woman whose trials feel both apocalyptic and universal.

Welcome to a work of history unlike any other.
Mothering is as old as human existence. But how has this most essential experience changed over time and cultures? What is the history of maternity--the history of pregnancy, birth, the encounter with an infant? Can one capture the historical trail of mothers? How? In Mother Is a Verb, the historian Sarah Knott creates a genre all her own in order to craft a new kind of historical interpretation. Blending memoir and history and building from anecdote, her book brings the past and the present viscerally alive. It is at once intimate and expansive, lyrical and precise. As a history, Mother Is a Verb draws on the terrain of Britain and North America from the seventeenth century to the close of the twentieth. Knott searches among a range of past societies, from those of Cree and Ojibwe women to tenant farmers in Appalachia; from enslaved people on South Carolina rice plantations to tenement dwellers in New York City and London's East End. She pores over diaries, letters, court records, medical manuals, items of clothing. And she explores and documents her own experiences. As a memoir, Mother Is a Verb becomes a method of asking new questions and probing lost pasts in order to historicize the smallest, even the most mundane of human experiences. Is there a history to interruption, to the sound of an infant's cry, to sleeplessness? Knott finds answers not through the telling of grand narratives, but through the painstaking accumulation of a trellis of anecdotes. And all the while, we can feel the child on her hip.

Название: 9 Things Kaylan Should Know ISBN: 1545662843 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781545662847 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 14250.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: "I dare you. I challenge you. I implore you to look at things from a different perspective than the crowd." This is an earnest plea, from the author, to anyone parenting a black child in present-day America. For years, the loudest voices in the black community have publicly been in lock-step agreement about the presence of racism in America, and how it has affected the culture. These voiced opinions are traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Voices of dissent have been mainly silenced by raucous disagreement. 9 Things Kaylan Should Know gives voice to a different point of view, not only about the degree and effect of racism today, but the author also tackles how blacks are to give their descendants, and future leaders, an inspiring hope about who they are, and what is possible when they turn from anger and bitter despair to spiritual truth as their guide. 9 Things...is what one family's older generations passed down to one in the younger generation to help her navigate the issues of racism in a nation struggling to find cultural balance in a "melting pot" society. Kaylan's life lessons regarding race can benefit anyone searching for significance, and those lessons can make a difference, one person at a time. PATRICIA KNOTT is a native of the South and is happy to call it home. She lives in Arkansas with her husband, John.

Описание: A nationally bestselling book on the struggle of addiction and the power of Indigenous resilience. Helen Knott, a highly accomplished Indigenous woman, seems to have it all. But in her memoir, she offers a different perspective. This is an unflinching account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. It is also the story of sisterhood, the power of ceremony, the love of family, and the possibility of redemption. With gripping moments of withdrawal, times of spiritual awareness, and historical insights going back to the signing of Treaty 8 by her great-great grandfather, Chief Bigfoot, her journey exposes the legacy of colonialism, while reclaiming her spirit. "In My Own Moccasins never flinches. The story goes dark, and then darker. We live in an era where Indigenous women routinely go missing, our youth are killed and disposed of like trash, and the road to justice doesnt seem to run through the rez. Knotts journey is familiar, filled with the fallout of residential school, racial injustice, alcoholism, drugs, and despair. But she skillfully draws us along and opens up her life, her family, and her communities to show us a way forward. Its the best kind of memoir: clear-eyed, generous, and glorious Bear witness to the emergence of one of the most powerful voices of her generation." -- Eden Robinson, author of Son of a Trickster and Monkey Beach (from the foreword).
