Summary

In "Their Child," Robert Herrick delves into the complexities of human relationships, exploring themes of parental responsibility, the fragility of innocence, and the moral implications of societal expectations. Through a strikingly lyrical style, Herrick's prose balances poetic imagery with stark realism, allowing readers to empathize deeply with the characters' struggles. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society, the narrative weaves intricate character studies with rich emotional depth, fostering a profound reflection on the sacrifices inherent in the act of love and care. Robert Herrick, an influential American author of the 20th century, is widely recognized for his insightful portrayals of the human condition. His personal experiences, including his upbringing in a world that frequently grappled with moral ambiguity, inform the nuanced perspectives he offers in this work. Herrick's background in social commentary and his dedication to exploring the inner lives of his characters have established him as a critical voice in contemporary literature, making "Their Child" a poignant examination of personal and societal dilemmas. I highly recommend "Their Child" to readers interested in profound explorations of ethics and emotions. Herrick's ability to capture the fleeting moments of human connection renders this book both a compelling narrative and a significant literary contribution to discussions of parenthood and societal obligations.

    A New York Times bestseller “delivers lurid details of political chicanery and lively descriptions” in a thriller about a politician’s vengeful ex-lover (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    Pam Leighton is a smart, ambitious, and sexy aide to a handsome Washington lobbyist named John Duke. For the last two years, she’s also been his lover. It’s an open secret that his glamorous and social-climbing wife, Catherine, tolerates—to a point. 
     
    After the President nominates Duke for a cabinet post, Catherine sees her opportunity and delivers an ultimatum: either fire Pam or get ready for a very public, very ugly divorce. Duke’s sharply honed political instincts tell him exactly what he needs to do. In one abrupt, brutal meeting, Duke ends the relationship and fires her from the job she loves. But Pam is not about to go quietly: A powerful New York publisher is offering her big money for what could be the ultimate Washington tell-all. But when people around her begin dying, Pam realizes that finishing the book may be a matter of life and death—her own.

    One of Faulkner’s most controversial novels!      A lesser-known but compelling novel from the author of Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury.      Have you ever wondered what speaks to the tortured soul of an artist? What would it be like to be stuck on a yacht with only the musings of the world and a group of artists as your company?      In the heat of the late Louisiana summer, Faulkner brings us a story of artistry that examines the thoughts and actions of Southern bohemians who have nothing to interrupt them but the hum and fire of the mosquitoes that surround them. “Faulkner’s message is clear: We are the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are us.”—Rein Fartel, “Twentieth Century Millennial: Revisiting Faulkner’s Mosquitoes.”       With a foreword by Carl Rollyson, a renowned biographer of Faulkner and other eminent authors, this fine new edition works to highlight the “Louisiana Faulkner,” the Faulkner before fame, and his thoughts on the lives of Southern artists.
