Hometown Victory: A Coach's Story of Football, Fate, and Coming Home
by Keanon Lowe Justin SpizmanThe Blindside meets Friday Night Lights in Keanon Lowe's Hometown Victory when an NFL coach returns home after losing a friend to coach a team of struggling high school kids on a 23-game losing streak.Keanon Lowe was working as an offensive analyst for the San Francisco 49ers when his childhood friend and former high school teammate suddenly died from an opioid overdose. Keanon dropped everything––including the plum NFL job he had been working towards since childhood––leading him to a position as football coach at a struggling high school back in his hometown. At the time, Parkrose High School was in the middle of a 23-game losing streak--they were the ultimate underdogs.In many ways, the road to Parkrose was paved by Keanon's life-defining experiences––from a childhood spent dodging racist bullies and finding the support and mentorship he craved on the football team, to an NFL season where he worked closely with Colin Kaepernick as he evolved his sideline protest. Keanon was drawn to the young men on the Parkrose team, and to the school itself. After two years, he pushed them to become conference champions, mentoring countless players along the way.But still, there was that nagging sense that his calling wasn't meant to stop there. He was at that school for a reason. In May 2019, he got his answer when a 19-year-old student entered a Parkrose classroom with a trench coat and shotgun. Keanon disarmed him and pulled the boy into a hug, telling him he cared. In the boy, Keanon saw himself, and the young men he grew up with or mentored along the way––and weren't so many of them just looking for acceptance, for comfort, for love?With the heart of favorite football classics––The Blindside, Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans––Keanon’s journey at Parkrose is the true account of a life spent striving forward, even when faced with the unimaginable. Hometown Victory is a story about gratitude, service, and most of all, hope.
Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon
by Peter Ames CarlinTo have been alive during the last sixty years is to have lived with the music of Paul Simon. The boy from Queens scored his first hit record in 1957, just months after Elvis Presley ignited the rock era. As the songwriting half of Simon & Garfunkel, his work helped define the youth movement of the '60s. On his own in the '70s, Simon made radio-dominating hits. He kicked off the '80s by reuniting with Garfunkel to perform for half a million New Yorkers in Central Park. Five years later, Simon's album "Graceland" sold millions and spurred an international political controversy. And it doesn't stop there.The grandchild of Jewish immigrants from Hungary, the nearly 75-year-old singer-songwriter has not only sold more than 100 million records, won 15 Grammy awards and been installed into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame twice, but has also animated the meaning?and flexibility?of personal and cultural identity in a rapidly shrinking world.Simon has also lived one of the most vibrant lives of modern times; a story replete with tales of Carrie Fisher, Leonard Bernstein, Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Shelley Duvall, Nelson Mandela, the Grateful Dead, drugs, depression, marriage, divorce, and more. A life story with the scope and power of an epic novel, Carlin's Homeward Bound is the first major biography of one of the most influential popular artists in American history.

The Homing Instinct: Meaning & Mystery in Animal Migration
by Bernd Heinrich&“A noted naturalist explores the centrality of home in the lives of humans and other animals . . . A special treat for readers of natural history&” (Kirkus Reviews). Every year, many species make the journey from one place to another, following the same paths and ending up in the same places. Every year since boyhood, the acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has done the same, returning to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. Which led him to wonder: What is the biology in humans of this primal pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing? In The Homing Instinct, Heinrich explores the fascinating mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures to locate their homes with pinpoint accuracy; and how even the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances. And he reminds us that to discount our human emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself. &“A graceful blend of science and memoir . . . [Heinrich&’s] ability to linger and simply be there for the moment when, for instance, an elderly spider descends from a silken strand to take the insect he offers her is the heart of his appeal.&” —Julie Zickefoose, The Wall Street Journal &“Deep and insightful writing.&” —David Gessner, The Washington Post
Homing Instincts: Early Motherhood on a Midwestern Farm
by Sarah MenkedickSarah Menkedick spent her twenties trekking alone across South America, teaching English to recalcitrant teenagers on Reunion Island, picking grapes in France and camping on the Mongolian grasslands; for her, meaning and purpose were to be found on the road, in flight from the ordinary. Yet the biggest and most transformative adventure of her life might be one she never anticipated: at 31, she moves into a tiny 19th-century cabin on her family's Ohio farm, and begins the journey into motherhood. In eight vivid and boldly questioning essays, Menkedick explores the luminous, disorienting time just before and after becoming a mother. As she reacquaints herself with the subtle landscapes of the Midwest, and adjusts to the often surprising physicality of pregnancy, she ruminates on what this new stage of life means for her long-held concepts of self, settling, and creative fulfillment. In “Millie, Mildred, Grandma Menkedick,” she considers the nature of story through the life of her tough German grandmother, who raised two boys as a single mother in the 1950s and then spent her seventies traveling the world with her best friend Marge; in “Motherland,” on a trip back to Oaxaca, Mexico to visit her husband’s family, she finally embraces her Midwestern roots; in “The Milk Cave,” she discovers in breastfeeding a new appreciation for the spiritual and artistic potential of boredom; and in “The Lake,” she revisits her childhood with her father, whose relentless optimism and mystical streak she sees anew once she has a child of her own. A story of a traveler come home to the farm; of becoming a mother in spite of reservations and doubt; and of learning to appreciate the power and beauty of the quotidian, Homing Instincts speaks to the deepest concerns and hopes of a generation.

Homo Irrealis
by André AcimanEL NUEVO LIBRO DEL AUTOR DE LLÁMAME POR TU NOMBRE Y LEJOS DE EGIPTO, GANADOR DEL WHITING AWARD Y EL LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD, TRADUCIDO A 38 IDIOMAS Y ACLAMADO POR LA CRÍTICA Y LOS LECTORES ¿Cuánto de nosotros se borra con el paso del tiempo? ¿Cuánto se queda en los lugares amados? ¿Puede uno regresar a un lugar que nunca existió más allá de su mente? En Homo irrealis, André Aciman nos invita a acompañarlo al territorio de sus recuerdos en un viaje por lugares queridos como Alejandría, Roma, París, San Petersburgo o Nueva York, habitados por las presencias fantasmales de artistas y escritores amados. De la mano de Proust, Freud, Cavafis, Pessoa, Rohmer, Sebald y muchos más, el autor explora el tiempo irrealis: el del hombre que podría haber sido y no fue, todo lo que podría haber pasado y no pasó, pero que aún podría pasar y está en un limbo entre la fantasía y la realidad. Unasmemorias en forma de ensayos en las que el autor de Lejos de Egipto y de Llámame por tu nombre revisita el pasado y el presente, el anhelo y el deseo, en un intento de comprender la veta nostálgica que se cierne sobre su persona y sobre casi toda su obra. La crítica ha dicho:«Si Proust no hubiera existido, el señor Aciman lo habría inventado».Richard Bernstein, The New York Times «Recuerda a los escritos de W. G. Sebald y de Fernando Pessoa, y transmite con gracia y perspicacia su anhelo de capturar el yomirando al yo que es en ese momento. Un libro brillante de un escritor que nunca decepciona».Kirkus Reviews «Uno de los mejores ensayistas de los últimos cien años».Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Review of Books «Una exploración de lo irreal diabólicamente compleja y reveladora. Los ensayos que discuten lo irreal en la obra de sus artistas más admirados, como el tríptico de ensayos sobre el cineasta Eric Rohmer, que casi se pueden leer como cartas de amor, hacen que este libro se eleve a nuevas alturas».The Irish Times «Un lento paseo por capitales fascinantes, un tierno recuerdo de viejas y raras películas, una fresca contemplación de los gigantes literarios modernistas: así podríamos describir el material de la nueva colección de ensayos de André Aciman, pero no su magia. [...] Este libro encarna, de manera inteligente y conmovedora, a su creador en toda su realidad».The Boston Globe«Estos ensayos me devolvieron a la vida, como hace la buena literatura».Sukada Tatke, The Rumpus «Una nueva colección de ensayos brillante y cautivadora [...]: felicidad pura».David Mikics, Tablet «Leer a André Aciman es como enamorarse».Xavi Ayén, La Vanguardia«Un maestro de la sensualidad y los detalles exquisitos».Sagrario Fernández-Prieto, La Razón

'Honest Enough to Be Bold': The Life and Times of Sir James Pliny Whitney
by Charles HumphriesOn a promise of 'Clean, Uncorrupt, and Incorruptible Government,' James Pliny Whitney marked the end of an era of Liberal rule that had lasted for over three decades, and introduced to the province a new, 'progressive' brand of conservatism. As this lively biography demonstrates, Whitney was a gruff and forceful leader. He had a keen understanding of the social and technological forces that were changing Ontario so dramatically in the early twentieth century; he also understood, better than the Liberals, the political implications of those forces. The policies of his government extended to hydroelectric power, bilingual schools, northern development, automobile regulation, temperance (he dealt with the advocates of prohibition 'through gritted teeth'), imperial unity, housing, workmen's compensation, and the suffrage movement. (In a lapse from progressiveness, he argued that women should not be exposed to 'the unlovely influence of party politics.') He had a lasting influence on higher education in the province through the establishment of a Board of Governors for the University of Toronto, then unmistakably the provincial university of Ontario, and the provision of tenure for its full professors. Whitney liked to describe himself as 'bold enough to be honest ... honest enough to be bold.' Humphries concludes that as premier from 1905 to 1914 Whitney lived up to his self-description. The boldness of his legislative programs recognized the evolution of a new industrial society and paved the way for government to intervene in economic and social affairs. The success of his progressive conservatism laid the foundation for decades of Tory success in Ontario.
