Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and...

Simon Shieh, Zuo Fei, Xiao Yue Shan

Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons gathers sixteen phenomenal
writers of the Chinese language in their English debut: eight fiction
writers, six poets, and two essayists. Amongst these dazzling tellings,
the planets are being pulled closer to the earth; a treasured classical
fiction holds the secrets of the universe; shameful acts of urban
ennui are committed over- and underground; a couple navigates the
phantasmagoric border between life and death; the classrooms of the
eighties and nineties are fleetingly free.
Ranging from cityscapes to
mountain ranges, ancestral lands to parallel worlds, these authors
exhibit a panoramic vista of contemporary Chinese-language writing
at its most imaginative and incisive, balancing intellectual power with
lyrical enchantment to lend insight into a nation oscillating between
tradition and modernity, apocalyptic visions and pedestrian loves,
provocation and nostalgia, reality and dreamscapes.

The Princess of 42nd Street -...

Romola Hodas

The eldest daughter of the Times Square “King of Porn”, Romola Hodas recounts her chaotic childhood amid the turmoil of publicly growing up as the daughter of the man who almost single-handedly built New York City’s pornography and adult entertainment empire from the 1960s to the 1980s before his spectacular and public fall from grace. 
 Behind the salacious headlines, Marty’s family paid a terrible price. In her shockingly honest, no-holds-barred memoir, Romola describes hanging out as a child in her father’s porn shops on 42nd Street and meeting the eclectic clientele who frequented the stores, making friends with the girls who performed live sex acts on stage, and spying on her parents’ sex orgies and crazy all-night swinger parties. Romola relates, in moving detail, how she cared for her three younger siblings when her brilliant, bipolar mother broke with reality, and how she survived verbal, physical, and emotional abuse; a year in reform school; her father’s three stints in prison; two kidnapping attempts by the mob (one while at summer fat camp); and how her baby brother, Jarrett, actually was briefly kidnapped by mobsters wanting to send Marty Hodas a clear, unambiguous message. 
 For all its darkness, The Princess of 42nd Street is, at its heart, an uplifting and inspirational story of how one young woman overcame incredible odds to become a successful businesswoman who now devotes her life to helping others. Raw, unflinching, and devoid of self-pity, The Princess of 42nd Street is a one-of-a-kind story.

Infanta - The Short Remarkable...

Magdalena S. Sánchez

The first full biography of Catalina Micaela, infanta of Spain and duchess of Savoy Catalina Micaela was the younger daughter of Philip II and granddaughter of Catherine de Medici. Aged just seventeen, Catalina married Carlo I, duke of Savoy, and moved from the royal court in Madrid to Turin to begin a new life as a duchess. Overlooked by historians and little known today, Catalina was nonetheless a key figure in sixteenth-century Europe. A woman of intelligence, forceful personality, and strong feeling, she energetically and effectively governed her husband's dukedom during his long absences from Turin on military campaigns. In this widely researched account, Magdalena Sánchez traces Catalina's life from her childhood to her early death shortly after giving birth to her tenth child. Drawing on thousands of letters Catalina exchanged with her husband, Sánchez paints an intimate portrait of a young Spanish woman adapting to a new husband, a new land, and the demands of governance.
