“Francine Prose is a world-classsatirist who’s also a world-class storyteller.”—Russell Banks Francine Prose captures contemporary America at itsmost hilarious and dreadful in My New American Life, a darkly humorousnovel of mismatched aspirations, Albanian gangsters, and the ever-elusiveAmerican dream. Following her New York Times bestselling novels BlueAngel and A Changed Man, Prose delivers the darkly humorous storyof Lula, a twenty-something Albanian immigrant trying to find stability andcomfort in New York City in the charged aftermath of 9/11. Set at the frontlines of a cultural war between idealism and cynicism, inalienable rights andimplacable Homeland Security measures, My New American Life is a movingand sardonic journey alongside a cast of characters exploring what it means tobe American.

“Prose’s book is a stunning achievement. . . . Now Anne Frank stands before us. . . a figure who will live not only in history but also in the literature she aspired to create.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune In June, 1942, Anne Frank received a diary for her thirteenth birthday, just weeks before she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic. For two years, she described life in hiding in vivid, unforgettable detail and grappled with the unfolding events of World War II. Before the attic was raided in August, 1944, Anne Frank furiously revised and edited her work, crafting a piece of literature that she hoped would be read by the public after the war. And read it has been. In Anne Frank, bestselling author Francine Prose deftly parses the artistry, ambition, and enduring influence of Anne Frank’s beloved classic, The Diary of a Young Girl. She investigates the diary’s unique afterlife: the obstacles and criticism Otto Frank faced in publishing his daughter’s words; the controversy surrounding the diary’s Broadway and film adaptations, and the social mores of the 1950s that reduced it to a tale of adolescent angst and love; the conspiracy theories that have cried fraud, and the scientific analysis that proved them wrong. Finally, having assigned the book to her own students, Prose considers the rewards and challenges of teaching one of the world’s most read, and banned, books. How has the life and death of one girl become emblematic of the lives and deaths of so many, and why do her words continue to inspire? Approved by both the Anne Frank House Foundation in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank-Fonds in Basel, run by the Frank family, Anne Frank unravels the fascinating story of a memoir that has become one of the most compelling, intimate, and important documents of modern history.

Excerpt from The Life and Complete Works in Prose and Verse, Vol. 5 of 12 Fortunatus. Peace, Ampedo: talke not of povertie, Disdaine, my boyes, to kisse the tawnie cheekes Of leane necessitie: make not inquirie, How I came rich: I am rich, let that suffice; There are foure leathern bags, trust full of gold; Those spent, ile fill you more: goe lads, be gallant; Shine in the streetes of Cyprus like two starres, And make them bow their knees that once did spurne you; For to effect such wonders gold can turne you; Brave it in Famagosta, or elsewhere; He travell to the Turkish Emperour; And then ile revell it with Prester John, Or banquet with great Cham of Tartarie, And trie what frolicke Court the Souldan keepes; He leave you presently: teare of these rags. Glitter, y boes, like Angels, that the world May (whilst our life in pleasure's circles romes) Wonder at Fortunatus and his fonnes. Andelo. Come, Shaddow: now wee'le feast it royally. Shad.

These are real-life situations and never before have you heard love, reality, motivation, inspiration, A-A, special occasions, life and death expressed in this way. The reader will automatically find their situations on numerous pages, and hopefully this book will inspire them to rise to the occasion. Hopefully the reader will be able to rebuild broken relationships, and give thanks to God. He is the one that made it possible for you to read this book right now (March 19, 2011) This is a different kind of book than you have read in the past because I'm a different kind of person. I've experienced life on many different walks of life. I've had several different situations, relating to those walks of life. So, in this book, you will surely find a poem that fits your situation, or someone's situation that is near and dear to you. The poems were written in relationship to real-life experiences. No fiction is necessary, because reality itself sometimes doesn't seem real. These poems came from my heart and I'm sure they'll reach yours, especially if it's a present situation that you're going through.

“[A] scathing assessment . . . Berry shows that Wilson's much–celebrated, controversial pleas in Consilience to unify all branches of knowledge is nothing more than a fatuous subordination of religion, art, and everything else that is good to science . . . Berry is one of the most perceptive critics of American society writing today.” —The Washington Post “I am tempted to say he understands [Consilience] better than Wilson himself . . . A new emancipation proclamation in which he speaks again and again about how to defy the tyranny of scientific materialism.”—The Christian Science Monitor In Life Is a Miracle, the devotion of science to the quantitative and reductionist world is measured against the mysterious, qualitative suggestions of religion and art. Berry sees life as the collision of these separate forces, but without all three in the mix we are left at sea in the world.
