New York Times Notable Book: “The sorrows of Job [visit] a St. Louis nut salesman, with hilarious results . . . [A] wry updating of the biblical tragedy” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In this “astute, entertaining novel,” two very different men cross each other’s paths in St. Louis, Missouri (The New York Times). Ben Hudnut is an upper-middle-class entrepreneur determined to bring an affordable cashew to American consumers. When he isn’t pursuing this goal, he’s usually in the company of his wife and four daughters—occasionally joined for family dinner by his dull but devoted secretary. Jeremy Cook, meanwhile, is a cynical unemployed academic, a linguist who doesn’t know what to do with himself—until he’s pressured into studying Ben Hudnut’s baby girl and her unusual speech patterns. But as different as these two men are, they will soon have one thing in common, as both of their lives begin to fall apart around them . . . “A dark domestic comedy that traces the perils of middle-aged manhood, told with attentiveness to the subtleties of communication.” —The New York Times Book Review “Witty, good-natured, and completely convincing: Carkeet has managed, with sympathy and charm, to trace the exceptional adventures of an utterly ordinary man.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A shrewd, wickedly funny delight, full of hilarious takes on rocky marriages, sexual boredom, raising kids, communication gaps—and nutty doings, as in almonds and cashews . . . A delectable observer of human foibles and pretense.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Combining elements of domestic comedy with the linguistic insights of his favorite protagonist, Jeremy Cook, Carkeet has created another modern parable that delineates the fault lines existing between the sexes and running through the textures of language itself.
In his debut collection of poetry, Eric Jordan Campbell guides us down the path of self reflection. This is a compilation of liberation, love, fear, doubt, introspection, and finding self love whilst navigating your journey. When we are able to pinpoint areas in need of work, we can then begin to rid ourselves of toxicity.
The essay reads an Enlightened and modern critique of progress in Mozart's Cosi fan tutte. With numerous references to other operas and texts, and with a storyline that emphasizes inevitable, yet mutable aspects of human nature, Cosi presents an ambivalent picture of the ways in which even the most disinterested and best-informed attitude toward the past can affect the future. At the same time, the opera seems to embrace the notion of freedom of choice without rejecting tradition or repetition. The essay also comments on the performance of Cosi in Zurich in 2000, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who often works with authentic period instruments.
LIGHTING OUR WAY is a book of devotionals that can be used in ones every day spiritual walk. They are intended to help and encourage those who are seeking help with the problems of life. It is with this in mind that the author added scripture to each article and hopefully encourage people to turn to God in all circumstances.
Humorous, uplifting, and informative, Final Legacies is written for the recreational reader as well as for survivors of loss by death. The author traces his own views of death from his early childhood through the present and reveals methods of recovery in the Final Legacies left by the deceased. The book is a must for those who have lost a significant other, who counsel the dying and their survivors, and who will face loss in the future. The humorous treatment of a very heavy subject relieves the reader of the emotional devastation of reading about death.
Originally written in 1938 but never published due to its controversial nature, an insightful guide reveals the seven principles of good that will allow anyone to triumph over the obstacles that must be faced in reaching personal goals.
A linguist tries to solve a murder mystery in this Edgar Award–nominated novel: “Intelligent, unpredictable . . . and extraordinarily funny” (San Francisco Chronicle). Dedicated to the study of toddlers and their development of verbal skills, the Wabash Institute should be staffed by kind, gentle scholars. Instead, the center is home to a nest of supremely cranky academics. When one of them is bludgeoned to death, Jeremy Cook—the institute’s premier scholar and this novel’s socially clueless hero—becomes the prime suspect. To clear his name, Cook resolves to solve the case, even if it means taking time off from his hobby of teaching imaginary words to the Institute’s tiny “subjects.” While gleefully skewering academia, the author—a professor of linguistics himself—also provides a spectacularly ingenious puzzle and, in the words of Publishers Weekly, “a first-rate thriller.” “The dialogue is crisp and witty, and the plot as unusual and engaging as any from the Golden Age of the classic detective story.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch “An engaging oddball of a hero.” —Kirkus Reviews “Mystery stories that have a really original solution to a crime are very rare, but Dr. Carkeet has found one . . . a thoroughly enjoyable piece of work.” —The New York Times Book Review
