Faced with the ultimate step into adulthood, Wolk returns to the summer camp of his youth before walking down the aisle.

  Ten essays on how reading and meaningfully engaging with literature can help us live better, more purposeful lives. 
  How do we live fully? 
  How do we live successfully? 
  Adrift in an anchorless world, we often worry about where we are heading. What meaning can we hope to find our modern, secular life? The answer, Ben Hutchinson explains, can be found by looking to writers and thinkers to help us live more purposefully, more mindfully – more fully. 
  Interweaving his own (mis-)adventures with those of authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust and Joan Didion, On Purpose proposes ten ways in which reading and writing encourage us to ask difficult questions, project our minds into the past and future, and see ourselves and others differently. 
  Engaging, uplifting and aphoristic, this book is for anyone who has lost their sense of direction or wishes to radically transform the way they live. 
  Hutchinson's latest book is a literary journey into the philosophy of purposeful living. Drawing from his own experiences and the works of esteemed authors, he presents a comparative analysis that challenges conventional wisdom and encourages readers to live more mindfully. 
  For fans of Terry Eagleton (Why Marx Was Right), Nedra Glover Tawwab (The Set Boundaries Workbook), Catherine Belsey (A Future for Criticism), Sabina Knight (Chinese Literature), and Andrea Wulf (Magnificent Rebels).

  This program includes an introduction read by the author.The New York Times–bestselling author of Find Me and Call Me by Your Name returns to the essay form with his collection of thoughts on time, the creative mind, and great lives and works.Irrealis moods are the set of verbal moods that indicate that something is not actually the case or a certain situation or action is not known to have happened . . .André Aciman returns to the essay form in Homo Irrealis to explore what the present tense means to artists who cannot grasp the here and now. Irrealis is not about the present, or the past, or the future, but about what might have been but never was—but could in theory still happen.From meditations on subway poetry and the temporal resonances of an empty Italian street, to considerations of the lives and work of Sigmund Freud, Constantine Cavafy, W. G. Sebald, John Sloan, Éric Rohmer, Marcel Proust, and Fernando Pessoa, and portraits of cities such as Alexandria and St. Petersburg, Homo Irrealis is a deep reflection of the imagination’s power to shape our memories under time’s seemingly intractable hold.  A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
