Professor Timofey Pnin, late of Tsarist Russia, is now precariously perched at the heart of an American campus. Battling with American life and language, Pnin must face great hazards in this new world: the ruination of his beautiful lumber-room-as-office; the removal of his teeth and the fitting of new ones; the search for a suitable boarding house; and the trials of taking the wrong train to deliver a lecture in a language he has yet to master. Wry, intelligent and moving, Pnin reveals the absurd and affecting story of one man in exile.

Attending a New England summer camp as an adolescent, young Erik Schroder - a first generation East German immigrant - adopts a new name and a new persona - Eric Kennedy - in the hopes that it will help him fit in. This fateful white lie will set him on an improbable and ultimately tragic course. Schroder relates the story of Eric's urgent escape years later through the New England countryside with his six-year-old daughter, Meadow, in an attempt to outrun the authorities amidst a heated custody battle with his wife, who will soon discover that her husband is not who he says he is. From a correctional facility, Eric surveys the course of his life in order to understand - and maybe even explain - his behaviour; the painful separation from his mother in childhood; a harrowing escape to America with his taciturn father; a romance that withered under a shadow of lies; and his proudest moments and greatest regrets as a flawed but loving father.

Connect with your audience in an authentic, fun way you'll both love. This illustrated marketing guide is for artists, writers, and other idea people who are ready to get down to the business side of creativity. When fantasy artist Frank Robert Dixon was a little kid, his mom read him a classic folktale about three Billy goats who needed to cross an important bridge to reach the land of prosperity. For Frank, and thousands of talented artists or writers like him, the classic story unlocks a powerful lesson for building a successful creative life: "Fear of marketing is like the big scary troll. Sharing my work and connecting with my audience is like that troll bridge I used to be too afraid to cross." Frank's friendship with Robin Blakely, a business coach for talent-driven brands, helped change Frank's fear about actively marketing his creative work in a rapidly changing world. Together, they have created this illustrated marketing guide for artists and writers that provides a big-picture view of the most important parts of building a creative career which include: honoring the creative identity developing natural talent and skill selecting modern communication platforms utilizing imagination, intuition, and creative strengths to reach out to an individual's chosen target market and, most importantly, taking solid control of your own professional dreams.

You won’t remember Mr Heming. He showed you round your comfortable home, suggested a sustainable financial package, negotiated a price with the owner and called you with the good news. The less good news is that, all these years later, he still has the key. That’s absurd, you laugh. Of all the many hundreds of houses he has sold, why would he still have the key to mine? The answer to that is, he has the keys to them all. William Heming’s every pleasure is in his leafy community. He loves and knows every inch of it, feels nurtured by it, and would defend it - perhaps not with his life but if it came to it, with yours...

At forty-four, Kay Sorensen has quit drinking, smoking, and overeating, and she has almost quit reading self-help books about quitting drinking, smoking and overeating. She has divorced her deadbeat husband, finished college, and landed a job she loves directing a small branch of the county library. But Kay still has one unconquered addiction: she just can't say no to someone who needs her. So when her architect father insists he needs her to move back home and care-take the empty house she grew up in, Kay is forced to return to the site of her bitterly unhappy childhood, trying her best to ignore the ghostly presence of her dead mother and make a home for her and her son. But she soon finds herself returning to the patterns of her childhood, where she spent years trying to please her thankless father and placate her invalid mother. When her dogmatic, born-again brother arrives, along with a slew of men from her past all seeking a home, Kay is suddenly playing housewife and host to five men with needs and demands she is struggling to meet while consistently ignoring her own. In order to find freedom and regain her selfhood, Kay must travel halfway across the world, finally face the chattering ghosts of her past, and break out of the mold that has been set for her by the men who have controlled her whole life.

The Pale King is David Foster Wallace's final novel - a testament to his enduring brilliance The Internal Revenue Service Regional Examination Centre in Peoria, Illinois, 1985. Here the minutaie of a million daily lives are totted up, audited and accounted for. Here the workers fight a never-ending war against the urgency of their own boredom. Here then, squeezed between the trivial and the quotidian, lies all human life. And this is David Foster Wallace's towering, brilliant, hilarious and deeply moving final novel. 'Breathtakingly brilliant, funny, maddening and elegiac' New York Times 'A bravura performance worthy of Woolf or Joyce. Wallace's finest work as a novelist' Time 'Light-years beyond Infinite Jest. Wallace's reputation will only grow, and like one of the broken columns beloved of Romantic painters, The Pale King will stand, complete in its incompleteness, as his most substantial fictional achievement' Hari Kunzru, Financial Times 'A paradise of language and intelligence' The Times 'Archly brilliant' Metro 'Teems with erudition and ideas, with passages of stylistic audacity, with great cheerful thrown-out gags, goofy puns and moments of truly arresting clarity. Innovative, penetrating, forcefully intelligent fiction like Wallace's arrives once in a generation, if that' Daily Telegraph 'In a different dimension to the tepid vapidities that pass as novels these days. Sentence for sentence, almost word for word, Wallace could out-write any of his peers' Scotland on Sunday David Foster Wallace wrote the novels Infinite Jest and The Broom of the System, and the short-story collections Oblivion, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and Girl with Curious Hair. His non-fiction includes Consider the Lobster, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, Everything and More, This is Water and Both Flesh and Not. He died in 2008.
