Summary

In Edward Dillon's 'Porcelain,' the reader is taken on a journey through the intricacies of a dysfunctional family. The novel delves deep into the complexities of family relationships, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and forgiveness. Dillon's writing style is characterized by its poignant prose and vivid imagery, allowing the reader to truly immerse themselves in the lives of the characters. Set in a small town in New England, the book captures the essence of small-town life and the secrets that lie beneath the surface. The narrative unfolds in a non-linear fashion, revealing shocking truths and hidden motivations as the story progresses. With its lyrical language and compelling storyline, 'Porcelain' is a captivating read that will leave a lasting impression on the reader. Edward Dillon, a renowned author known for his insightful exploration of human emotions, drew inspiration from his own personal experiences to pen 'Porcelain.' His keen understanding of human nature is evident in the way he crafts his characters and weaves their stories together. Dillon's writing is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, making 'Porcelain' a standout novel in contemporary literature. I highly recommend 'Porcelain' to readers who enjoy literary fiction that delves into the complexities of human relationships. Dillon's skillful storytelling and profound insights make this book a must-read for anyone looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally impactful literary experience.

    ""No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold. If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy."" – Amy Schumer 
From award-winning comedian Judy Gold, an equal parts thoughtful and hilarious polemic on the current efforts to censor comedians, arguing that they undermine the art—and purpose—of comedy itself. 
“You can say anything that comes to mind as long as it is funny.” — Richard Pryor 
The fallout after Michelle Wolf’s roast at the 2018 White House Correspondent’s Dinner, Samantha Bee’s forced apology after calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c*nt,” Kathy Griffin’s being “blacklisted” from Hollywood after posting a photo with what looked like the president’s severed head, all represent a dangerous and growing trend—to censor comedians. 
In Yes I Can Say That, comedy veteran Judy Gold argues that ""no one has the right to tell comics what they can or cannot joke about…. Laughter is a unifier. It's the best medicine. It's also the most palatable way to bring up seditious, subversive topics.” For Gold, nothing is more insidious than enforcing silence and repressing jokes—the job of a comedian is to expose society's demons, and confront them head-on, no prisoners allowed. In ten impassioned polemics, she frames comedy as a tool of empowerment, a way to reclaim hateful rhetoric and battle the democracy-crushing plight of censorship. 
Uninhibited and bold, Gold is as skilled at making readers laugh as she is at exposing uncomfortable truths about our culture and society. In this era of partisan politics and gaping inequalities, Yes I Can Say That is the refreshingly candid, wickedly funny and deliciously blunt manifesto we need.

    “This book grills up an enjoyable read for both avid foodies and novice diners alike! Perman’s sneak peek into the fascinating history of In-N-Out is as good as the delicious burgers themselves.”—Mario Batali, celebrity chef and author of Molto ItalianoA behind-the-counter look at the fast-food chain that breaks all the rules, Stacy Perman’s In-N-Out Burger is the New York Times bestselling inside story of the family behind the California-based hamburger chain with a cult following large enough to rival the Grateful Dead’s. A juicy unauthorized history of a small business-turned-big business titan, In-N-Out Burger was named one of Fast Company magazine’s Best Business Books of 2009, and  Fortune Small Business insists that it “should be required reading for family business owners, alongside Rich Cohen’s Sweet and Low and Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrooks.”
