Synopsis

In "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 98, January 18, 1890," the celebrated British humorous magazine captures the essence of late Victorian society through its witty satire and vibrant illustrations. This volume features a rich tapestry of editorial cartoons, clever poems, and humorous essays, providing sharp commentary on contemporary politics, social norms, and cultural events. The blend of text and visual art embodies the magazine'Äôs characteristic style'Äîan amalgamation of keen insight and irreverence, reflecting the complexities of a society undergoing significant transformation during the Industrial Revolution. Punch, founded in 1841, became an integral part of British popular culture, largely due to its diverse contributors, including notable writers and artists such as George du Maurier and John Tenniel. As hyperbole and irony pervade the content, this volume encapsulates the spirit of its time, resonating with the authorial intent of critiquing societal hypocrisy while fostering public discourse. The humor often masks deeper social commentary, serving to engage readers and prompt reflection on their own realities. This volume is highly recommended for scholars of Victorian literature, fans of satirical humor, and anyone interested in understanding the cultural dynamics of 19th-century England. "Punch" serves as a time capsule, offering invaluable insight into the humor, sentiments, and critiques of the era, making it an essential read for those who appreciate the interplay of art and literature.

    “If John Steinbeck’s mighty Grapes of Wrath is the tragic novel of the Great Depression, then Heaven’s My Destination is its comic masterpiece. —J.D. McClatchy 
    A hilarious tale about goodness in a fallen world, Heaven’s My Destination introduces George Marvin Brush, one of Thornton Wilder's most memorable characters. Brush, a traveling textbook salesman, is a fervent religious convert who is determined to lead a good life. With sad and sometimes hilarious consequences, his travels take him through smoking cars, bawdy houses, banks, and campgrounds from Texas to Illinois—and into the soul of Depression-era America itself. 
     
    This special edition includes an afterword by Wilder’s nephew, Tappan Wilder, with illuminating material about the author and book.

    For lovers of Catherine Newman, Lorrie Moore, and Ottessa Moshfegh comes a debut collection of 14 insightful, witty, and often laugh-out-loud stories. 
    My Mother’s Boyfriends is populated by angels, earthquakes, sibling complexity, love affairs gone bad, and children left to figure it out on their own. Woven throughout is an abiding sympathy for the mess-ups, bad choices, and missteps humans make despite their best intentions. 
    “Witty and utterly enchanting.” —Vendela Vida, author of We Run the Tides 
    "In My Mother's Boyfriends, Samantha Schoech writes with precision, grace, and considerable wit on subjects ranging from the magical to the mundane. Packed with sharply observed characters and surprising sentences that masterfully turn a story inside out, this collection is as unsettling as The Big One, but so much more fun. These are voices you'll hear in your head long after you've closed the book. A terrific read with a big San Francisco heart." —Michelle Richmond, bestselling author of The Marriage Pact and The Wonder Test

    A short satirical thriller from bestselling author Freida McFadden.  
    My husband is dead.  
    I attended his funeral. I watched his casket be lowered six feet into the ground. (Actually, it may have been only five feet, but that still seems like more than enough.) And then we ate an array of finger sandwiches and deviled eggs and miniature beef wellingtons that cost more than my first car.  
    My point is, Grant is gone. And so are all his many, many deep, dark secrets which I never really ever bothered to ask him about. He is never coming back.  
    So why do I still see his face everywhere I go?  
    The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie is an utterly addictive, unputdownable, nail-biting, absolutely gripping psychological thriller novella with a shocking, breathtaking, heartstopping, spine-chilling twist that you won't see coming, will leave you stunned, and will literally have you picking your jaw up off the floor and bringing it to the nearest hospital for major facial reconstructive surgery.
