  In this deeply personal, accessible compilation of stories and supportive resources, Hannah invites us on her complex journey through a year of poison— the multi-drug, weekly chemotherapy that saved her life. In 2020, Hannah was diagnosed with a rare stage IV cancer that came from her pregnancy, treated during the pandemic at Duke University Hospital. This is a story of cancer, but also of ancestors, parenting, and religious and spiritual questions. This book weaves fascinating narrative with potent integrative resources for finding hope, reclaiming your body, and moving toward spiritual peace through cancer and other difficult experiences. 
  The Platinum is not just an image or metaphor —the spoiler is that there was literal Platinum in the chemotherapy drugs. In the highest way, the key to surviving chemotherapy was embracing the light that was in the poison all along. Hannah teaches us to do this. She shows us through her own story, through the marriage of western and alternative medicine, and through specific materials, modalities, and exercises. Your journey is your own, but Hannah has arrived as a friend—a helper and a guide who has gone there and back again. She brings humor and joyfully readable prose as she untangles her year of cancer and shares spiritual and material resources for growth and healing along the way. 
  Only in the depths of our most painful challenges do we find the resources we need to break free. With them, we are able to illuminate what was unseen and listen to what was unheard. Hannah is here to walk with you toward that liberation.

  Rotten Evidence - Reading and...

  Ahmed Naji

  In February 2016, Ahmed Naji was sentenced to two years in prison for “violating public decency,” after an excerpt of his novel Using Life reportedly caused a reader to experience heart palpitations. Naji ultimately served ten months of that sentence, in a group cellblock in Cairo’s Tora Prison. 
   
  Rotten Evidence is a chronicle of those months. Through Naji’s writing, the world of Egyptian prison comes into vivid focus, with its cigarette-based economy, homemade chess sets, and well-groomed fixers. Naji’s storytelling is lively and uncompromising, filled with rare insights into both the mundane and the grand questions he confronts. 
   
  How does one secure a steady supply of fresh vegetables without refrigeration?  
   
  Write and revise a novel in a single notebook? Make a wall hook out of a razor?  
   
  Fight boredom? And, most crucially, how does one make sense of a senseless oppression: finding oneself in prison for the act of writing fiction. Genuine and defiant, this book stands as a testament to the power of the creative mind in the face of authoritarian censorship. 
   
  “Ahmed Naji confronts what happens when one’s fundamentally unserious, oversexed youth dovetails with an authoritarian, utterly self-serious regime.”—Zadie Smith, author of The Fraud

  Initially diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and after a separation of his parents, Edmund Kemper already showed his twisted mind at 15 years old, when he murdered both his grandparents, who were taking care of him. Whether through nature or nurture, this man didn’t show a promising future from the get-go. But perhaps nobody could have suspected the horrors he would inflict on his many victims later in his life. 
  Edmund Kemper, born in 1948, has become a notorious serial killer. He is known for having raped, mutilated, and murdered young women and especially hitchhikers. Being labelled with being a necrophile and a cannibal, his crimes have been exposed, partially by himself, and even though he has requested the death penalty, he is still locked up for life. 
  If this is not enough to pique your interest, then I don’t know what is. Hurry up and start reading or listening to this book.

  "Good Enough" is an intimate and compelling memoir penned by Aaron Victor, a chronicle of his personal journey towards self-acceptance. A testament to his resilience, the book meticulously depicts his transformation from being an 'unknown man' to his journey towards self-acceptance. 
  Aaron's narrative explores his early childhood experiences and the pressures of meeting adult expectations at a very young age. His relationship with his father forms a pivotal part of this narrative arc. Victor does not shy away from portraying the impact of his father's battle with prostate cancer on their bond. His passion for music and his arduous journey to fully embrace this talent also form significant threads in this narrative tapestry. 
  From touching upon episodes of bullying in his school days to the pressure of high academic expectations, Aaron has crafted an engaging narrative that examines the lasting impact of childhood experiences on an individual's self-perception. His perpetual quest for acceptance and his struggle with perfectionism underscore his internal conflict between seeking external validation and recognizing that true self-worth lies within. His quest for authenticity evolves through introspection, forgiveness, and ultimately, healing. 
  Aaron Victor's experiences in his personal life, including his relationships and his pursuit of his passion, form the backbone of this memoir. He shares his experiences with romantic relationships, highlighting his time in the friend zone, and how this affected his feelings of self-worth. His journey from high school to college, his struggle as a college basketball player, and his setbacks in his career, particularly a job offer that fell through, paint a vivid picture of his life's ups and downs.

  FINDING A PLACE IN THE NATURAL WORLD AS A HUNTRESS 
   
  After thirty years cultivating fruits and vegetables, raising children, and teaching literature, Deborah Lee Luskin stepped out of her garden and into the forest. At sixty, it was time to age fiercely, overcome her suburban fear of getting lost in the woods and her urban reliance on street signs to know where she was. She wanted to forge her own path through the forest by following the deer. A dedicated locavore, Luskin didn’t want just to read the landscape, she also wanted to eat it. 
   
  Luskin overcame her ambivalence about guns as she gained a deeper understanding of the hunter's role in the ecosystem of the northern forest. Her literary acumen helped her read the landscape and—as thoughtfully as she hunts for words—to hunt for deer. With the stories of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, childbirth, and wild nature to inspire her, Deborah became a deer hunter. Reviving Artemis is her story of finding her place in the natural world.
