I used this book to help all three of my children learn to read. It is full of full-color pictures and stories that embrace kindness, respect and traditional values. I've had it for many years, so it's listed as fair condition. The paper cover shows some wear, and there is a stain on the copyright page and page 31. A pencil mark is on page 212. I shared pictures of these in my listing. Other than that, the pages are in excellent condition and ready to help your little ones embrace the love of reading!

Ta-Nehisi Coates

In the 150 years since the end of the Civil War and the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, the story of race and America has remained a brutally simple one, written on flesh: it is the story of the black body, exploited to create the country's foundational wealth, violently segregated to unite a nation after a civil war, and, today, still disproportionately threatened, locked up and killed in the streets. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can America reckon with its fraught racial history? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer those questions, presented in the form of a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his own awakening to the truth about history and race through a series of revelatory experiences: immersion in nationalist mythology as a child; engagement with history, poetry and love at Howard University; travels to Civil War battlefields and the South Side of Chicago; a journey to France that reorients his sense of the world; and pilgrimages to the homes of mothers whose children's lives have been taken as American plunder. Taken together, these stories map a winding path towards a kind of liberation—a journey from fear and confusion, to a full and honest understanding of the world as it is. Masterfully woven from lyrical personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me offers a powerful new framework for understanding America's history and current crisis, and a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Stephen B. Jones

“Zombies… soulless corpses risen from the grave to do the bidding of their masters. They may have their factual basis in the voodoo ceremonies of Haiti, but is in short fiction and the movies that the walking dead have flourished. 
The Mammoth Book of Zombies brings together twenty-six stories which depict a wide range of methods for raising the dead—from traditional Caribbean rituals to futuristic science. Within this terrifying tome you’ll discover such classic tales of the macabre as Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar” and J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s “Schalken the Painter,” plus memorable stories from the pulp magazines by H.P. Lovecraft and Robert Bloch. Also collected here for the first time are stories by such established masters as Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, and Brian Lumley, plus two new novellas and original stories by a host of exciting names.”

Madeleine L'Engle

Texas

From the beloved author of A Wrinkle in Time comes a deeply personal, genre-bending short story collection that transcends generational divides and reminds readers that hope, above all, can transform suffering into the promise of joy. This powerful collection of short stories traces an emotional arc inspired by Madeleine L'Engle's early life and career, from her lonely childhood in New York to her life as a mother in small-town Connecticut. In a selection of eighteen stories discovered by one of L'Engle's granddaughters, we see how L'Engle's personal experiences and abiding faith informed the creation of her many cherished works. Some of these stories have never been published; others were refashioned into scenes for her novels and memoirs. Almost all were written in the 1940s and '50s, from Madeleine's college years until just before the publication of A Wrinkle in Time. From realism to science-fiction to fantasy, there is something for everyone in this timeless, magical collection.

Walter Mosley

A masterful collection of stories that showcases one of the country's most beloved and acclaimed writers--award-winning author, Walter Mosley.

Bestselling author Walter Mosley has proven himself a master of narrative tension, both with his extraordinary fiction and gripping writing for television.The Awkward Black Man collects seventeen of Mosley's most accomplished short stories to showcase the full range of his remarkable talent.

Mosley presents distinct characters as they struggle to move through the world in each of these stories--heroes who are awkward, nerdy, self-defeating, self-involved, and, on the whole, odd. He overturns the stereotypes that corral black male characters and paints a subtle, powerful portrait of each of these unique individuals. In "The Good News Is," a man's insecurity about his weight gives way to a serious illness and the intense loneliness that accompanies it. Deeply vulnerable, he allows himself to be taken advantage of in return for a little human comfort in a raw display of true need. "Pet Fly," previously published in theNew Yorker, follows a man working as a mailroom clerk for a big company--a solitary job for which he is overqualified--and the unforeseen repercussions he endures when he attempts to forge a connection beyond the one he has with the fly buzzing around his apartment. And "Almost Alyce" chronicles failed loves, family loss, alcoholism, and a Zen approach to the art of begging that proves surprisingly effective.

Touching and contemplative, each of these unexpected stories offers the best of one of our most gifted writers.

Collected Stories

A collection of one of our most powerful intellectual's short fiction

Debriefingcollects all of Susan Sontag's shorter fiction, a form she turned to intermittently throughout her writing life. The book ranges from allegory to parable to autobiography and shows her wrestling with problems not assimilable to the essay, her more customary mode. Here she catches fragments of life on the fly, dramatizes her private griefs and fears, lets characters take her where they will. The result is a collection of remarkable brilliance, versatility, and charm. Sontag's work has typically required time for people to catch up to it. These challenging works of literary art--made more urgent by the passage of years--await a new generation of readers. This is an invaluable record of the creative output of one of the most inquisitive and analytical thinkers of the twentieth century at the height of her power.

 This book was apparently privately published in 1963 by Alexander and then taken over four years later by publisher Bobbs-Merrill. An unusual find and signed by the author! 

It contains eighteen stories in a variety of styles including them is the Aesopic, etiologies, and clever solutions. 

The excellent scissor-cuts were done by grade school children in Cheefu, China, about 1920.

The book is in good condition with  few exceptions: small separation at bottom cover, what appears to be a tape mark on front cover and heavy wear on corners. No dust jacket. Previous owner gift inscription in ink on title page. 

It’s a lovely and unusual book!

This was an interesting look into the intertwining lives of young (mostly) queer people in Nuuk, Greenland — lots of relationship drama, self-discovery, and partying set against the backdrop of quite an isolated city. I haven’t seen a single soul on the internet talking about this book which is a shame because the author is very talented! Give it a try :) 

The story of a group of friends in Nuuk, Greenland, on the cusp of adulthood, exploring life, seeking authenticity and establishing their own queer identities
