Separate Rooms
by Pier Vittorio TondelliSoon to be a major film adaptation by Luca Guadagnino, Separate Rooms is a masterpiece of Italian literature, and a heartbreaking portrait of love, grief, and the daily realities of being a gay man in 1980s Europe.Thomas, a young German musician, is dying. His older boyfriend, a renowned Italian writer named Leo, finds it impossible to watch the slow and inevitable demise of his lover. So, he condemns himself to wandering the earth instead, moving cities every few weeks in the hope of finding the dividing line between the living and the dead. He travels through a Europe where past and present overlap, years merge and faces emerge, and reminders of the life he and Thomas shared are on every corner. From their meeting and nights spent in Paris to the drug-induced flight through the forests of northern France that spelled the end, Leo&’s memories become clearer with every road he takes—much as he wishes he could simply forget. While alive, and wanting to preserve the passion of their relationship, Leo had forced Thomas to live separately: in separate rooms, separate towns, with separate lives. But now, face to face with true solitude, Leo must finally reckon with the impossible striving of memory to recreate life and, ultimately, cross an ocean to find the strength to go on.André Aciman&’s Call Me by Your Name meets Ocean Vuong&’s On Earth We&’re Briefly Gorgeous in Pier Vittorio Tondelli&’s Separate Rooms: a singular and unforgettable meditation on almost-ideal love, told in three musical movements, by a treasured literary talent never before published in the US.

The Hottest Seat on Campus: A Roadmap for Mastering Leadership in College Admission
by Angel B. PérezAn essential aid for training sitting and aspiring admissions officers in the skills required to succeed in higher education today The college admission deanship—often called &“the hottest seat on campus&”—requires navigating institutional politics, legal hurdles, revenue allocation, and more, all while overseeing enrollment that meets demographic and financial objectives. A seat with high turnover, its opportunities for professional growth, in terms of extending networks, burnishing leadership credentials, and gaining invaluable institutional insight, are nevertheless unmatched. In The Hottest Seat on Campus, veteran counselor Angel B. Pérez helps newly appointed and rising admission deans get a handle on the role&’s core expectations and nuances for success. As CEO of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), Pérez knows firsthand how underprepared deans can be for the &“business&” side of their job. Drawing on his own experience, as well as from interviews with current and former admissions leaders who represent a range of perspectives and institutions, Pérez demystifies the deanship and shares strategies for building teams, leading through crisis, navigating shared governance, leveraging the power of storytelling, and self-management. Pérez points to the deeper characteristics and qualities that make for enduring success as a chief enrollment officer and admissions counselor, such as self-awareness, reflection, and the ability to ask the right questions before offering solutions. Grounded in Pérez&’s clear sense of the diverse skills practitioners need, the book offers an action plan professionals can quickly adapt to their own contexts.

How to Tell When We Will Die: On Pain, Disability, and Doom
by Johanna HedvaFrom one of the most influential voices in disability activism comes an essay collection that detonates a bomb in our collective understanding of care and illness, showing us that sickness is a vibrant part of life. In the wake of the 2014 Ferguson riots, and sick with a chronic condition that rendered them housebound, Johanna Hedva turned to the page to ask: How do you throw a brick through the window of a bank if you can&’t get out of bed? It was not long before this essay, &“Sick Woman Theory,&” became a seminal work on disability, because in reframing illness as not just a biological experience but a social one, Hedva argues that under capitalism—a system that limits our worth to the productivity of our bodies—we must reach for the revolutionary act of caring for ourselves and others. How to Tell When We Will Die expands upon Hedva&’s paradigm-shifting perspective in a series of slyly subversive and razor-sharp essays that range from the theoretical to the personal—from Deborah Levy and Susan Sontag to wrestling, kink, mysticism, death, and the color yellow. Drawing from their experiences with America&’s byzantine healthcare system, and considering archetypes they call The Psychotic Woman, The Freak, and The Hag in Charge, Hedva offers a bracing indictment of the politics that exploit sickness—relying on and fueling ableism—to the detriment of us all. With the insight of Anne Boyer&’s The Undying and Leslie Jamison&’s The Empathy Exams, and the wit of Samantha Irby, Hedva&’s debut collection upends our collective concept of disability. In their radical reimagining of a world where care and pain are symbiotic, and our bodies are allowed to live free and well, Hedva implores us to remember that illness is neither an inconvenience or inevitability, but an enlivening and elemental part of being alive.
