Paperback. Etat : Good. The winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize "about mothers and daughters, nation and exile, and the way forward with hope and pain . . . a masterpiece" (Tayari Jones, The Times). A gut punch of a novel that asks us to consider: what do we pass on to our children? What do we owe those we love? And without roots, can you ever truly be free? Nahid has six months left to live. Or so the doctors say. At fifty, she is no stranger to loss. But now, as she stands on the precipice of her own death--just as she has learned that her daughter Aram is pregnant with her first child--Nahid is filled with both new fury and long dormant rage. Her life back home in Iran, and living as a refugee in Sweden, has been about survival at any cost. How to actually live, she doesn't know; she has never had the ability or opportunity to learn. Here is an extraordinary story of exile, dislocation, and the emotional minefields between mothers and daughters; a story of love, guilt and dreams for a better future, vibrating with both sorrow and an unquenchable joie de vivre. With its startling honesty, dark wit, and irresistible momentum, What We Owe introduces a fierce and necessary new voice in international fiction.…

Paperback. Etat : Good.  A collection of "impishly witty and ingeniously irreverent" (The Atlantic) how-to essays that highlight the absurdities of modern life, from the author of The Name of the Rose How to Travel With a Salmon is a highly engaging collection of what Umberto Eco calls his diario minimo--minimal diaries--after the magazine column in which he began "pursuing the pathways of parody." These essays are his playful but unfailingly accurate takes on militarism, computer jargon, Westerns, art criticism, librarians, bureaucrats, meals on airplanes, Amtrak trains, bad coffee, maniacal taxi drivers, express mail, multi-function watches, fax machines and cell phones, pornography, soccer fans, academia, and--last but definitely not least--the author's own self. "Very funny." --The New York Review of Books.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. International bestselling and award-winning author Umberto Eco's illustrated novel The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana is "an insidiously witty and provocative story" (Los Angeles Times). Yambo, a sixtyish rare-book dealer who lives in Milan, has suffered a loss of memory -- he can remember the plot of every book he has ever read, every line of poetry, but he no longer knows his own name, doesn't recognize his wife or his daughters, and remembers nothing about his parents or his childhood. In an effort to retrieve his past, he withdraws to the family home somewhere in the hills between Milan and Turin. There, in the sprawling attic, he searches through boxes of old newspapers, comics, records, photo albums, and adolescent diaries. And so Yambo relives the story of his generation: Mussolini, Catholic education and guilt, Josephine Baker, Flash Gordon, Fred Astaire. His memories run wild, and the life racing before his eyes takes the form of a graphic novel. Yambo struggles through the frames to capture one simple, innocent image: that of his first love. A fascinating, abundant novel -- wide-ranging, nostalgic, funny, full of heart -- from the incomparable Eco.…
