  A Romance of Wastdale

  A Romance of Wastdale is a novel by the British writer A.E.W. Mason.
  
  In 1921 it was turned into a film of the same name directed by Maurice Elvey and made by Stoll Pictures, Britain's biggest studio of the silent era.
  
  A.E.W. Mason (7 May 1865 – 22 November 1948) was an English author and politician. He is best remembered for his 1902 novel of courage and cowardice in wartime, The Four Feathers and is also known as the creator of Inspector Hanaud, a French detective who was an early template for Agatha Christie's famous Hercule Poirot.
  
  His prolific output in short stories and novels were frequently made and remade into films during his lifetime; though many of the silent versions have been lost or forgotten, the Korda productions of Fire Over England (1937) and The Four Feathers (1939) remain enduring classics of British cinema.

  Difficult People

  Manipulators and liars, egomaniacs, bullies, interrupters, condescenders, ice queens, backstabbers, hypocrites, withholders, belligerents, self-deceivers, whiners, know-it-alls, nitpickers: these are some of the characters you’ll encounter in Difficult People, a collection of stories that investigates and celebrates difficult people (and some animals).
   
  As these characters fumble through their quests for YouTube fame, stand-up glory, romantic love, stable employment or anyone who can tolerate them, they reveal that we are all, in our own ways, difficult people.
   
  Praise for Catriona Wright’s recent book of poetry, Table Manners:
   
  “... a baroque feast of juicy diction and inventive wordplay that explores food as social ritual and slippery signifier of desire.”
   
  —Barb Carey, The Toronto Star
   
  “Deft, dark, and unflinching, Catriona Wright’s work is stand-up comedy for the mind.”
   
  —Emily Schultz, author of The Blondes
   
  “If you've ever Instagrammed your lunch, or directed distain toward somebody who has, this is the book for you. The poems are vivid, surprising, and pretty much devourable.”
   
  —Kerry Clare, 49th Shelf
   
  “Tightly woven and elaborate in their conceit, the poems in Table Manners linger both on the mind and palate.”
   
  —Gillian Sze, Montreal Review of Books
