  Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. 
  This time, though, the story starts with sorrow as Carpenter's wife struggles with dementia. Humor may be the best medicine, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can’t cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. 
  It’s against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, and even a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With his unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude—only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.

  Three Rings - A Tale of Exile...

  Daniel Mendelsohn

  Combining memoir, biography, history, and literary criticism, Three Rings weaves together the stories of three exiled writers who turned to the classics of the past to create masterpieces of their own—works that pondered the nature of narrative itself. Erich Auerbach, the Jewish philologist who fled Hitler's Germany and wrote his classic study of Western literature, Mimesis, in Istanbul . . . François Fénelon, the seventeenth-century French archbishop whose ingenious sequel to the Odyssey, The Adventures of Telemachus—a veiled critique of the Sun King and the bestselling book in Europe for one hundred years—resulted in his banishment . . . and the German novelist W. G. Sebald, self-exiled to England, whose distinctively meandering narratives explore Odyssean themes of displacement, nostalgia, and separation from home. 
   
   
   
  Intertwined with these tales of exile and artistic crisis is an account of Mendelsohn's struggles to write two of his own books—a family saga of the Holocaust and a memoir about reading the Odyssey with his elderly father. As Three Rings moves to its startling conclusion, a climactic revelation about the way in which the lives of its three heroes were linked across borders, languages, and centuries forces the listener to reconsider the relationship between narrative and history, art and life.

  The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius: The Quantum Ethics Series 
  Meet Jake Fidellius: an unintentional hero of the absurd, adrift in a world where cappuccinos, algorithms, and the tiniest choices can reveal the deepest truths. From the quiet corners of coffee shops to the cosmic expanse of existence, Jake navigates the strange intersections of desire, creativity, and human blunder, asking whether any of us are truly free to choose. 
  In this collection of short, vaguely reflective stories, Jake explores the paradoxical dance between chaos and order: The Wet: the raw, unstructured burden of consciousness and The Dry: the human-made rules that always seem to fail. Philosophical, satirical, and brutally honest, these tales chronicle Jake’s attempts to find meaning when the world itself feels designed for absurdity. 
  But when the alien vessel 3I/ATLAS arrives, offering humanity a choice in the grand Consensus of Stars, Jake’s musings become urgent, terrifying, and viscerally real. As society fractures into factions and his queer, creative intentions are weaponized against him, Jake must navigate cosmic stakes, dreamlike prophecies, and the ultimate question: can we trust our own humanity over the algorithm?
