  This literary biography is “a story of obsession and the search for pure childhood . . . Moving, charming, a revelation” (Los Angeles Times).   J. M. Barrie, Victorian novelist, playwright, and author of Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, led a life almost as interesting as his famous creation. Childless in his marriage, Barrie grew close to the five young boys of the Davies family, ultimately becoming their guardian and surrogate father when they were orphaned.   Andrew Birkin draws extensively on a vast range of material by and about Barrie, including notebooks, memoirs, and hours of recorded interviews with the family and their circle, to describe Barrie’s life, the tragedies that shaped him, and the wonderful world of imagination he created for the boys. Updated with a new preface and including photos and illustrations, this “absolutely gripping” read reveals the dramatic story behind one of the classics of children’s literature (Evening Standard).   “A psychological thriller . . . One of the year’s most complex and absorbing biographies.” —Time   “[A] fascinating story.” —The Washington Post

  Tattered Kimonos in Japan -...

  Since John Hersey's Hiroshima, very few books have examined the meaning and impact of World War II through the eyes of Japanese men and women who survived that conflict. Tattered Kimonos in Japan does just that: It is an intimate journey into contemporary Japan from the perspective of the generation of Japanese soldiers and civilians who survived World War II, by a writer whose American father and Japanese father-in-law fought on opposite sides of the conflict. 
   
   
   
  Mindful of the power of victimhood, memory, and shared suffering, he travels across Japan, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki, meeting a compelling group of men and women whose lives, even now, are defined by the trauma of war, and by lingering questions of responsibility and repentance for Japan's wartime aggression. 
   
   
   
  The image of a tattered kimono from Hiroshima is the thread that drives the narrative arc of this emotional story about a writer's encounter with history, inside the Japan of his father's generation, on the other side of his father's war. This is a book about history with elements of family memoir. It offers a fresh and truly unique perspective for listeners interested in World War II, Japan, or Judaica; listeners seeking cross-cultural journeys; and listeners intrigued by Japanese culture, particularly the kimono.

  A Grumpy Silver Fox Actor + His Bookworm Boyfriend + A Sunshine Fake Fiancée = A Tabloid-licious Trio 
  I'm too old for this s***. 
  As Hollywood's favorite leading man, I'm slated for a full week of non-stop cons, interviews, and hotel-hopping to promote my latest movie. I've got jetlag just thinking about it. 
  I want to be in my own bed, in my own house, with my own boyfriend. 
  Nico and I have been dating for years. But no one knows. We live--and love--in the closet. 
  Hollywood. Politics. Paparazzi. It's all one big show. 
  As if that isn't enough, my agent has set me up with a fake fiancée for the PR circus. 
  Only my "fiancée" turns out to be Nico's "more-than-friends" friend from college. 
  And when the three of us are together...there's a chemistry I can't ignore. 
  Note from the author: This is an over the top, quick and filthy unconventional romance with a lot of m/m scenes as well as mmf scenes. Enclosed are power plays, older man + younger man/woman, and enough steamy scenes to keep you up all night…
