  A "hauntingly effective" surrealist travel memoir about the mysterious transformations that may lurk inside us all (Library Journal, starred review). 
   
   
   
  Venice, 2020. As a pandemic rages across the globe, Zito Madu finds himself in a nearly deserted city, its walls and basilicas humming with strange magic. As he wanders a haunted landscape, we see him twist further into his own past: his family's difficult immigration from Nigeria to Detroit, his troubled relationship with his father, the sporadic joys of daily life and solitude, his experiences with migration, poverty, foreignness, racism, and his own rage and regret. But as it is with all labyrinths, after finding its center, will he come away unscathed, or will he transform into the gripping, fantastical monstrousness that's out to consume him whole? 
   
   
   
  With nods to Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges, this surrealist debut memoir takes us into the labyrinth of memory and the monsters lurking there.

  New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison was one of this country’s most beloved writers, a muscular, brilliantly economic stylist with a salty wisdom. He also wrote some of the best essays on food. A Really Big Lunch collects many of his food pieces for the first time—and taps into his larger-than-life appetite with wit and verve. 
  Jim Harrison’s legendary gourmandise is on full display in this book, from the titular New Yorker piece about a French lunch that went to thirty-seven courses, to pieces from Brick, Playboy, Kermit Lynch Newsletter, and more. A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison’s pointed comments and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And, between the lines, the pieces give glimpses of Harrison’s life over the last three decades. 
  A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.

  SHOWING UP is a funny, heartfelt novel about poker, grief, and the unexpected friendships that get us through. 
  Mason DuPont isn’t exactly thriving. His once-distant mother is slipping into dementia, his creative spark is long buried, and peace feels like a foreign concept. Then he stumbles into a neighborhood poker group—where the bets are low, but the stakes are real. 
  Between absurd game variations, relentless teasing, and midnight heart-to-hearts, Mason finds more than distraction; he finds a tribe. And when a group member falls seriously ill, those friendships force Mason to confront old scars and rediscover parts of himself he thought were long gone. 
  Add in a fiercely independent artist who challenges everything he thinks he knows about love, and Mason’s quiet unraveling becomes a journey of rediscovery. 
  Touching, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of grit and grace, SHOWING UP is a story about showing up for others, and ultimately, yourself.

  All the Agents and Saints -...

  After a decade of chasing stories around the globe, intrepid travel writer Stephanie Elizondo Griest followed the magnetic pull home—only to discover that her native South Texas had been radically transformed in her absence.  
  Ravaged by drug wars and barricaded by an eighteen-foot steel wall, her ancestral land had become the nation’s foremost crossing ground for undocumented workers, many of whom perished along the way. The frequency of these tragedies seemed like a terrible coincidence, before Elizondo Griest moved to the New York–Canada borderlands.  
  Once she began to meet Mohawks from the Akwesasne Nation, however, she recognized striking parallels to life on the southern border. Having lost their land through devious treaties, their mother tongues at English-only schools, and their traditional occupations through capitalist ventures, Tejanos and Mohawks alike struggle under the legacy of colonialism. Toxic industries surround their neighborhoods while the US Border Patrol militarizes them. Combating these forces are legions of artists and activists devoted to preserving their indigenous cultures. Complex belief systems, meanwhile, conjure miracles. In All the Agents and Saints, Elizondo Griest weaves seven years of stories into a meditation on the existential impact of international borderlines by illuminating the spaces in between and the people who live there.

  Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature.

  In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets.
