Sinossi

Forgotten Sculptors explores the untold stories of talented sculptors from the 19th and 20th centuries who, despite their artistic merit, have been historically overlooked. The book delves into the complex reasons behind their marginalization, showing how artistic success hinges on more than just talent. It highlights the impact of social forces, shifting artistic movements, and personal circumstances in shaping an artist's reputation. Discover how some sculptors pushed boundaries and innovated techniques, enriching our understanding of art, yet remain largely unknown. This biography examines how artistic recognition is influenced by historical context, social networks, and individual agency. Through detailed case studies, the book unveils each sculptor's training, key works, and critical reception. Starting with an introduction to artistic marginalization, it progresses through individual stories, and concludes with broader reflections on artistic fame. By focusing on these "forgotten sculptors," the book challenges traditional art history narratives and promotes a more inclusive appreciation of diverse artistic expression.

    In Climbing My Himalaya, Wendy Chi shares her journey as a first-generation American immigrant through mountain peaks of dispossession, injury, and brokenness to the Promised Land of God's love, healing, and redemption. 
    Born in Taiwan to two blind parents who moved to the United States seeking freedom and opportunity for their children, Wendy knew only anger, bitterness, and fear at leaving her homeland. A new language, culture, education, and helping blind parents negotiate the American system all seemed obstacles too steep to climb. Resentment toward God and family left her isolated even as she climbed the ladder of academic and career success. 
    But the heavenly Father she'd pushed away refused to leave her alone. Wendy gradually recognized her physically blind parents had clearer spiritual sight than her own. When she let go of fear to freefall into God's arms, she discovered that even in her doubt and short-sightedness, God had been orchestrating His perfect plan behind the scenes. In His unconditional love, she found spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical healing. 
    This compelling memoir brings home the wonderful truth that when we feel like so many broken pieces, God uses even brokenness to create the stained-glass masterpiece that is His ultimate purpose for our lives.

    Can a life weave along through the same notes and yet come to play forth different sounds? 
     
     
    The Sound of SCH (pronounced S-C-H) is the true story of a journey with mental illness, beautifully told by Danielle Lim from a time when she grew up witnessing her uncle's untold struggle with a crippling mental and social disease, and her mother's difficult role as caregiver. The story takes place between 1961 and 1994, backdropped by a fast-globalising Singapore where stigmatisation of persons afflicted with mental illness nevertheless remains deep-seated. Unflinchingly raw and honest in its portrayal of living with schizophrenia, The Sound of Sch is a moving account of human resiliency and sacrifice in the face of brokenness.

    Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book is a product of these combined gluttonies. 
     
     
     
    Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garner's Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner. 
     
     
     
    Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and his father's famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family, and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.
