A compelling narrative that blends the story of infinity with the tragic tale of a tormented and brilliant mathematician.
Here is an introspective, poignant portrait of an American family during a time of sweeping changes. Now nearly sixty years after it first appeared, Suckow's finest work still displays a thorough realism in its characters' actions and aspirations; the uneasy compromises they are forced to make still ring true. Suckow's talent for retrospective analysis comes to life as she examines her own people—Iowans, descendants of early settlers—through the lives of the Ferguson family, living in the fictional small town of Belmond, Iowa. Using her gift of creating three-dimensional, living characters, Suckow focuses on personal differences within the family and each member's separate struggle to make sense of past and present, to confront a pervasive sense of loss as a way of life disappears.
After months of research at the U.S. Patent Office--the repository of delightfully improbable dreams--Ross amassed a collection of some of the most unique, odd, and awe-inspiring patent applications ever seen over the last century.
From 1945 to 1950, the United States returned 178,000 dead American servicemen back home and reburied another 80,000 in overseas cemeteries at their families' request. Never before had a nation returned so many of its fallen warriors from distant battlefields. But another 78,000 servicemen were missing in action, their bodies never to be found, their families never to know the peace of closure. Safely Restrecalls this virtually forgotten episode of WWII through the recollections of the survivors and the letters and histories of the dead themselves. It tells of those who struggled to absorb their loss and rebuild their lives-and of those who would never be able to move on. Most memorably, it tells of Lt. Jesse D. "Red" Franks, Jr.--first reported missing, then dead, then alive-and of his extraordinarily devoted father, who gave up everything to work as a missionary in war-torn Europe for years until he discovered what truly happened to his son. If World War II was the "Great Crusade," then its dead are the true heroes of the war. And this is their story.
Set in Utica, New York, in the 1950s, Johnny Critelli evokes the richness, conflicts, lusts, and longings of an Italian-American community trying to embrace American culture as it clings to its own. In Utica, food, family, religion, and Joe DiMaggio are equally transcendent. Every extra penny in town in invested in Little League in a romantic homage to athletic greatness and to a Yankee line-up studded with Italian-American names. At the heart of this story are three generations of the author's own family and Johnny Critelli, a mythical orphan who may have disappeared years before Lentricchia's birth, but who continues to obsess him. Raw and rapturous, this novel extols the creativity of the mind and tenacity of the spirit. The Knifemen is an explosive, blunt-force evocation of the evil voices inside men. It presents a chilling, rapid descent into the mental hell of Richard Assisi, a respectable gynecologist and apparently decent man, who turns self-hatred onto everyone around him, especially those who love him most. Richard is a man moving through ordinary rooms and saying familiar things, but all the while with slaughter and misogyny in his heart. Intensely compelling, The Knifemen dissects the metaphysics of maleness, exposing the primordial lurch toward violence and blood lust.
