"Frank Bascombe receives the send-off he deserves in this fifth book of the series, following Let Me Be Frank With You (2014)...It's a novel about the ambiguities of love and happiness. Frank remains a funny guy, both ha-ha funny and a little odd, but Ford couldn't be more serious about his craft, his precision, his attention to detail, his need to say exactly what he means. If this is also Ford's curtain call, he has done himself proud." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"Ford masterfully captures the strained dynamic of two men attempting to articulate emotions...Ford's prose attains a rare combination of exquisite beauty powered by dialogue that has the casual familiarity of a jocular Everyman gifted with a winning, sly wit. Be Mine ultimately charts the journey of the human condition and the strivings, failings, and resiliency of the human heart. A fitting finale to the landmark Bascombe saga, this ranks among Ford's best." - Booklist (starred review)"If the Bascombe novels endure it will be partly because they serve as such comprehensive documents of the hopes and hypocrisies of the age. But it will also be because of the wonderful voice that Mr. Ford has fashioned for them-jokey, melancholic, dreamy, disagreeable and doggedly hopeful.... They are also works of tremendous craft and arrangement, full of tantalizing patterns and recurrences. In this balance of meaning and meaninglessness there has always been enough mystery to keep Frank occupied for a lifetime." - Wall Street Journal"Ford is among the elite American writers of the past half-century." - Dwight Garner, New York Times "The startling and poignant conclusion unites father and son through love and grief as they learn to "give life its full due." - The New Yorker"Ford has a loud and faithful following among writers on both sides of the Atlantic....Every sentence is considered, yet many look like they're about to fall apart in their devious careening. Something similar can be said of the meandering Bascombe books, too: Their course, like Frank's, is uncompassed by design. Every detour offers an opportunity to ponder....The astonishing core of Be Mine is the barbed, tender, despairing bond between father and son." - Adam Begley, The Atlantic "[P]lenty of heart and wry humor." - AARP Magazine"In true Updikean fashion, Frank gives the mundane its beautiful due, and his narrative - which meanders as his life has - goes back and forward, from here to there and round again, resulting in a book to sit back and wallow in, driven by characters as much as by plot.... It's the challenge of a writer's life to know how to end a magnificent series of books like this....In the end, what Be Mine reminds us of is what our instincts always knew: that what will survive of us is love." - Financial TimesRealism, in these books, is an act of worship, but not complacent worship. John Banville once called Ford "a relaxed existentialist". It's true. His is a realism shorn of metaphysical certainties - a...

Rediscover the sensational 1942 bestseller that unveiled the Jazz Age as women lived itRanging from posh Beacon Hill to go-go New York City to stately Virginia, a sweeping coming-of-age story of three women's lives, loves, and ambitions in the 1920s, '30s and '40sSet in Boston, New York, and Virginia, The Prodigal Women tells the intertwined stories of three young women who come of age in the Roaring Twenties, not flappers and golden girls but flesh-and-blood female protagonists looking wearily—and warily—at the paths open to women in a rapidly changing world.Leda March, "frantic with self-consciousness and envy and desire," is the daughter of poorer relations of a prominent Boston family and an aspiring poet torn between an impulse to conformity and the pursuit of personal freedom. Betsy Jekyll, newly arrived with her family from Virginia, becomes Leda's closest childhood friend, bringing a beguiling new warmth and openness into the New Englander's life. But Betsy soon abandons Boston to land a job at a fashion magazine and enjoy life as a single woman in New York before falling in love with—and marrying—an abusive, controlling man. Betsy's older sister, Maizie, a Southern belle idolized by the two younger friends and pursued by numerous men, grows tired of "running around" and fatefully looks for happiness in marriage to a turbulent artist.When The Prodigal Women was published in 1942, its uncompromising portrayal of women's shifting roles, open sexuality, and ambivalence toward motherhood made it a succèss de scandale, spending twenty-three weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list. Now Library of America restores Nancy Hale's lost classic to print with a new introduction by Kate Bolick exploring how the novel measures "the gap between what liberation looks like, and what it actually is.".

"This is not your ordinary campus novel or another Groundhog Day. In magical, irreverent, and often humorous prose that calls up both Murakami and Moshfegh, The Tatami Galaxy repeatedly reimagines the existential crises of a college misfit in a kaleidoscopic display of imagination, character, and genre. There is no question why this mash-up of multiverse adventure and philosophy has already become a new classic." - Sequoia Nagamatsu, national bestselling author of How High We Go in the Dark"The team of Tomihiko Morimi and Emily Balistrieri is unbeatable: this novel vibrates with a voice that is sharp and funny, wacky and winning. It's a perfect slice of contemporary Japanese pop: a tangle of fates, simultaneously cosmic and comic. I loved my voyage through The Tatami Galaxy." - Robin Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore and Sourdough"Rich, unusual, and surprisingly profound, The Tatami Galaxy is a gorgeous application of the fantastic to celebrate the precious parts of life that we often forget." - Ada Palmer, award-winning author of Too Like the LightningTomihiko Morimi's novel of burned out gods and misanthropic students jumping between alternate dimensions as they face their regrets proves to be just as touching and hilarious as the anime series it spawned. A surprisingly timely mash-up of Catcher in the Rye and Russian Doll, The Tatami Galaxy will resonate with anyone that's found themselves too often stuck in looping isolation. - Tim Maughan, Locus Award-nominated author of Infinite Detail"Morimi's delightful campus novel follows the quixotic adventures of an unnamed student dreaming of the perfect college experience...Light and sweet in its confection, this satisfies like a spongy piece of castella." - Publishers Weekly"Beautiful and satisfying...Pick it up when you have the chance" - Tor.com"Translator Balistrieri meticulously deciphers the protagonist's ' "rotten" university student voice' for English readers...anime aficionados will greatly appreciate the prose original that inspired the award-winning celluloid series of the same title." - Booklist"Who can deny the pleasures of a good time-loop narrative?... there's a memorable payoff to several ongoing threads when the novel reaches its climax you also may never look at moths the same way again." - Words Without Borders"[The Tatami Galaxy] is a frolicking novel packed with slacker hijinks and escapades. At its core lies pithy wisdom about choice and destiny... Morimi's sci-fi fusion of fun and the unfathomable offers a light touch that makes a lasting impression." - The Japan Times"[A] treat better left unspoiled." - The New York Times Book Review.

A hilarious, heartfelt sequel to How to Build a Girl, the breakout novel from feminist sensation Caitlin Moran who the New York Times called, "rowdy and fearless . . . sloppy, big-hearted and alive in all the right ways." You can't have your best friend be famous if you're not famous. It doesn't work. You're emotional pen-friends. You can send each other letters-but you're not doing anything together. You live in different countries. Johanna Morrigan (AKA Dolly Wilde) has it all: at eighteen, she lives in her own flat in London and writes for the coolest music magazine in Britain. But Johanna is miserable. Her best friend and man of her dreams John Kite has just made it big in 1994's hot new BritPop scene. Suddenly John exists on another plane of reality: that of the Famouses. Never one to sit on the sidelines, Johanna hatches a plan: she will Saint Paul his Corinthians, she will Jimmy his Pinocchio-she will write a monthly column, by way of a manual to the famous, analyzing fame, its power, its dangers, and its amusing aspects. In stories, girls never win the girl-they are won. Well, Johanna will re-write the stories, and win John, through her writing. But as Johanna's own star rises, an unpleasant one-night stand she had with a stand-up comedian, Jerry Sharp, comes back to haunt in her in a series of unfortunate consequences. How can a girl deal with public sexual shaming? Especially when her new friend, the up-and-coming feminist rock icon Suzanne Banks, is Jimmy Cricketing her? For anyone who has been a girl or known one, who has admired fame or judged it, and above all anyone who loves to laugh till their sides ache, How to Be Famous is a big-hearted, hilarious tale of fame and fortune-and all they entail.

From the Laws of Mount Misery: Your colleagues will hurt you more than your patients. On rounds at Mount Misery, it's not always easy for Basch to tell the patients from the doctors: Errol Cabot, the drug cowboy whose practice provides him with guinea pigs for h.
