Описание: Like Rebecca Makkai's The Great Believers, author-activist Malloy's newest novel is a heartrending portrayal of the realities of healing." --Oprah Daily, Best LGBTQ Books of 2021
Acclaimed author Brian Malloy brings insight, humor, and the authenticity of his own experiences as a member of the AIDS generation to this universal story of love and loss set in New York City and Minneapolis at the peak of the AIDS crisis. Published on the 40th anniversary of the disease's first reported cases, After Francesco is both a tribute to a generation lost to the pandemic as well as a powerful and universal exploration of heartbreak, recovery and how love can defy grief.
A BookBub Book to Read for Pride Month
The year is 1988 and 28-year-old Kevin Doyle is bone-tired of attending funerals. It's been two years since his partner Francesco died from AIDS, an epidemic ravaging New York City and going largely ignored by the government, leaving those effected to suffer in silence, feeling unjustifiable shame and guilt on top of their loss.
Some people might insist that Francesco and the other friends he's lost to the disease are in a better place, but Kevin definitely isn't. Half-alive, he spends his days at a mind-numbing job and nights with the ghost of Francesco, drunk and drowning in memories of a man who was too young to die.
When Kevin hits an all-time low, he realizes it's time to move back home to Minnesota and figure out how to start living again--without Francesco. With the help of a surviving partners support group and friends both old and new, Kevin slowly starts to do just that. But an unthinkable family betrayal, and the news that his best friend is fighting for his life in New York, will force a reckoning and a defining choice.
This novel is fresh, well-observed, often funny, sometimes angry, and always real. I can't think of another novel about the AIDS years that captures that difficult, messy, intense age more accurately or movingly. --Christopher Bram, author of Eminent Outlaws: The Gay Writers Who Changed America
In this highly recommended novel, the pain and rage felt by Kevin and those in the trenches with him is palpable and uncomfortable and real. So too is the love and warmth of spirit they manage to nurture in order to survive. --Library Journal (Starred Review)

Out of Oakland offers a wonderful case study in the possibilities and limitations of transnational organizing. ? Diplomatic History
In Out of Oakland, Sean L. Malloy explores the evolving internationalism of the Black Panther Party (BPP); the continuing exile of former members, including Assata Shakur, in Cuba is testament to the lasting nature of the international bonds that were forged during the party's heyday. Founded in Oakland, California, in October 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, the BPP began with no more than a dozen members. Focused on local issues, most notably police brutality, the Panthers patrolled their West Oakland neighborhood armed with shotguns and law books. Within a few years, the BPP had expanded its operations into a global confrontation with what Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver dubbed "the international pig power structure."
Malloy traces the shifting intersections between the black freedom struggle in the United States, Third World anticolonialism, and the Cold War. By the early 1970s, the Panthers had chapters across the United States as well as an international section headquartered in Algeria and support groups and emulators as far afield as England, India, New Zealand, Israel, and Sweden. The international section served as an official embassy for the BPP and a beacon for American revolutionaries abroad, attracting figures ranging from Black Power skyjackers to fugitive LSD guru Timothy Leary. Engaging directly with the expanding Cold War, BPP representatives cultivated alliances with the governments of Cuba, North Korea, China, North Vietnam, and the People's Republic of the Congo as well as European and Japanese militant groups and the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
In an epilogue, Malloy directly links the legacy of the BPP to contemporary questions raised by the Black Lives Matter movement.

Juggling the people in her life is psychologist Kristen Anderson's new skill. An irate student threatens her teaching job, her best friend wants Kristen to cover her caseload during her maternity leave, and the new local doctor has her in his sights as the ideal nanny for his six-year-old daughter. His interest alternates between romance and an unrealistic search for the perfect woman. Kristen has no time for such games, despite his devastating blue eyes and smoldering dark looks. If she's not careful, she'll drop all the balls, and her life will come crashing down.
Single dad Mike Sutliff is also juggling. His new position as a hospital physician in tiny Gordon, Indiana, tests his skills and his temper. His daughter, Sophie, bounces between her mother and stepfather in Indianapolis and Mike's home in Gordon. Kristen seems to be the only adult around able to handle Sophie's behavior. But is Kristen the Proverbs woman Mike is determined to find? He can't afford another mistake; his second-chance marriage has to be perfect
Автор: Malloy Christopher Название: Aquinas on Beatific Charity and the Problem of Love ISBN: 1945125152 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781945125157 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 29220.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Christopher J. Malloy's Aquinas on Beatific Charity and the Problem of Love examines the relationship between the desire for happiness and the love of another, chiefly, the love of God for His own sake. Great thinkers judge the matters connected with this problem differently. Aristotle and others contend that the desire for happiness grounds ethical activity. Others contend that a pure love of God (or of the "other") is not founded on desire for happiness. The former charge the latter with leaving love groundless, and the latter charge the former with reducing love to egoism.
Aquinas's appreciation of the Aristotelian tradition is forefront in his classic treatment of human action, which begins with the desire for happiness. Accordingly, many readers, proponents and critics, read Aquinas as simply "eudaimonistic." There are, however, other principles at work in his thought; these suggest a simple but profound difficulty in his thought, one reflective of the subtlety of real life. Are the two sets of principles contradictory? Juxtaposed?
Considering beatific charity as the ultimate lens for this problem, Malloy proposes that Aquinas's texts and principles are hierarchically harmonious while developmentally complex. They indicate that love of happiness has a foundational role in human action and that love of God for His own sake has priority in the order of finality. This ordered balance depends upon a conception of the common good in accord with a metaphysics of participation: as having existence and formal perfection from and in likeness to the One Who Is, created persons incline to love God more than and more intensely than themselves. Thus, love of the Divine Other, while indeed the supreme love, especially as deified through charity, does not demand "disinterested" love. God truly is man's good: His true lover longs to be with Him.

An engaging read I could not put down. The resilience of the human spirit shines through every episode Constance so compellingly shares. - Mary Hickey Zander
In this unflinching memoir, Constance Malloy delivers a gripping story of suffering and redemption. Tormented by a manipulative, narcissistic father and a loving but delusional mother, young Constance fights to be seen or become invisible, depending on the scenario she's forced to endure. From this unpredictable and emotionally unstable childhood, where her fears are amplified by incessant dreams of natural disaster and violence, to the challenges of her young adult life, Constance manages to keep moving forward with remarkable optimism and strength. Her commitment to therapy and her desire to get well turn the momentum of the narrative toward healing.
For survivors of childhood trauma or any reader seeking to restore emotional health, Tornado Dreams is a captivating tale of survival, perseverance, and, ultimately, personal triumph.
