He's known for his womanizing. She's known for her brains. One thoughtless kiss changes everything. A Gilded Age novella series from Constance Kent: Jane Silver has always relied on her intelligence to insulate her from feeling anything. But when she is kissed by a stranger in the street, her intelligence fails her spectacularly. Hawksley Welland is a New York gilt-edged playboy and a drunk. A man careening on the edge of disaster, he’s burning bridges faster than he can run. Kissing a young woman in the street is the last straw for Great Aunt Agnes who is in charge of his trust. He will marry the girl or he will lose everything. Jane can't be forced into marriage over something as trivial as her reputation. But with a rare book in her possession, she decides to take the risk, intending to cloister herself in the Welland library, safely removed from feeling. She didn't realize a mere kiss from a dissolute but gorgeous stranger would have the power to break down her walls and upend her very soul.

Featured in The New York Times Book Review Only a few decades ago, the Brooklyn stereotype well known to Americans was typified by television programs such as “The Honeymooners” and “Welcome Back, Kotter”—comedies about working-class sensibilities, deprivation, and struggles. Today, the borough across the East River from Manhattan is home to trendsetters, celebrities, and enough “1 percenters” to draw the Occupy Wall Street protests across the Brooklyn Bridge. “Tres Brooklyn,” has become a compliment among gourmands in Parisian restaurants. In The New Brooklyn, Kay Hymowitz chronicles the dramatic transformation of the once crumbling borough. Devoting separate chapters to Park Slope, Williamsburg, Bed Stuy and the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Hymowitz identifies the government policies and young, educated white and black middle class enclaves responsible for creating thousands of new businesses, safe and lively streets, and one of the most desirable urban environments in the world. Exploring Brownsville, the growing Chinatown of Sunset Park, and Caribbean Canarsie, Hymowitz also wrestles with the question of whether the borough’s new wealth can lift up long disadvantaged minorities, and the current generation of immigrants, many of whom will need more skills than their predecessors to thrive in a postindustrial economy. The New Brooklyn’s portraits of dramatic urban transformation, and its sometimes controversial effects, offers prescriptions relevant to “phoenix” cities coming back to life across the United States and beyond its borders.

This volume focuses on the everyday legalities and practicalities of naturalization including governmental processes, the language of citizenship tests and classes, the labelling and lived experiences of immigrants/outsiders and the media’s interpretation of this process. The book brings together scholars from a wide range of specialities who accentuate language and raise issues that often remain unarticulated or masked in the media. The contributors highlight how governmental policies and practices affect native-born citizens and residents differently on the basis of legal status. Furthermore, the authors observe that many issues that are typically seen as affecting immigrants (such as language policies, nationalist identities and feelings of belonging) also impact first-generation native-born citizens who are seen as, or see themselves as, outsiders.

Simeon Strunsky's "The Patient Observer and His Friends" presents a contemplative collection of essays that weave together personal reflection and sociocultural critique. Strunsky's literary style is marked by a keen observational acuity, blending anecdotal evidence with philosophical musings that traverse the realms of human experience, society, and art. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, each piece takes a moment to pause and reflect on the complexities of life, giving voice to the nuanced interplay between the individual and the broader social fabric. Strunsky, a notable figure in the literary landscape of his time, was deeply influenced by the currents of modernism and the burgeoning discourse around identity and community. His diverse background as a journalist and critic allowed him to cultivate a distinctive voice, characterized by both introspection and a commitment to exploring societal issues. These influences are palpable within "The Patient Observer and His Friends," where personal narratives intersect with broader discussions about the human condition. This collection is recommended for readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of life's intricacies through the lens of an adept observer. Strunsky's insightful commentary invites readers to engage with their own experiences, rendering this book an essential read for those interested in the intersections of literature, philosophy, and social critique.

An injury at birth left Audrey with a wandering eye. Though flawed, the bad eye functions well enough to permit her an idiosyncratic view of the world, one she welcomes in the stifling postwar Brooklyn of the 1950s. During a journey to Manhattan to see a doctor about her sight, she begins to explore the sexual rites of adulthood. But can her romance last? In this beautifully observed novel, Lynne Sharon Schwartz raises themes of innocence and escape while illuminating the rich inner life of a singular girl.
