The Loneliness Files

Athena Dixon

What does it mean to be a body behind a screen, lost in the hustle of an online world? In our age of digital hyper-connection, Athena Dixon invites us to consider this question with depth, heart, and ferocity, investigating the gaps that technology cannot fill and confronting a lifetime of loneliness. 
 
 
 
Living alone as a middle-aged woman without children or pets and working forty hours a week from home, more than three hundred fifty miles from her family and friends, Dixon begins watching mystery videos on YouTube, listening to true crime podcasts, and playing video game walk-throughs just to hear another human voice. She discovers the story of Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman who died alone, her body remaining in front of a glowing television set for three years before the world finally noticed. Searching for connection, Dixon plumbs the depths of communal loneliness, asking essential questions of herself and all of us: How have her past decisions left her so alone? Are we, as humans, linked by a shared loneliness? How do we see the world and our place in it? And finally, how do we find our way back to each other? 
 
 
 
Searing and searching, The Loneliness Files is a groundbreaking memoir in essays that ultimately brings us together in its piercing, revelatory examination of how and why it is that we break apart.

Typhoon Attack - The Legendary...

Norman Franks

This volume collects lively tales of aerial combat from Royal Air Force pilots who flew Typhoon fighters into the frontlines of WWII. The Typhoon fighter played a pivotal role in Allied victories from D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and the final battle in Germany. Through original interviews with RAF veterans, Norman Franks explores what it was really like to fly Britain’s legendary, rocket-firing fighters.  Typhoon Attack shares stories of flying over Holland or France at low level, seeking out hostile aircraft or targets on the ground; rolling over at twelve-thousand feet, then upside down; attacking trains, ships, flak posts, tanks, and more; not to mention the mind-numbing experience of crash-landing a shot-up Tiffy.
