Although characters and stories like Sam Spade and The Maltese Falcon are famous the world over, despite the New York Times' description of him as the 'dean of the school of hard-boiled noir', Dashiel Hammett wrote only five full-length novels in his career. The Thin Man was the last of these, published in 1934. But Hammett wrote two other 'treatments' for investigator Nick Charles and his nemesis Charles Wynant; the 'thin man' of the title. Lost when Hammett retired as a novelist, together those treatments form the continuing story of The Thin Man, which is now being published for the first time. Dashiell Hammett died in 1961. His influence inspired writers as diverse as Raymond Chandler and William Burroughs and changed the face of crime writing forever.

“This first unabridged appearance of two Nick and Nora Charles ‘novellas’ by Hammett should be an occasion for delight, and it is.” —The Wall Street Journal Dashiell Hammett was a crime writer who elevated the genre to true literature, and The Thin Man was Hammett’s last—and most successful—novel. Following the enormous success of The Thin Man movie in 1934, Hammett was commissioned to write stories for additional films. He wrote two full-length novellas, for the films that became After the Thin Man and Another Thin Man. Bringing back his classic characters, retired private investigator Nick Charles and his former debutante wife Nora, who return home to find Nora’s family gardener murdered, pulling the couple back into another deadly game of cat and mouse. Hammett has written two fully satisfying Thin Man stories, with classic, barbed Hammett dialogue and fully developed characters. Written in the style of a screenplay treatment, The Return of the Thin Man is a hugely entertaining read that brings back two classic characters from one of the greatest mystery writers who ever lived. This book is destined to become essential reading for Hammett’s millions of fans and a new generation of mystery readers the world over. “Read Return of the Thin Man and rediscover why Dashiell Hammett was the peerless master of crime fiction in all its dark and bloody glory.” —New York Journal of Books “A volume no fan of Hammett’s, of Nick and Nora Charles, of The Thin Man series should even think of doing without.” —The Huffington Post

A Los Angeles Times Bestseller A Lit Hub | Chicago Review | Ms. Magazine March pick A Lambda Literary Most Anticipated Book In this perceptive and provocative essay collection, an award-winning writer shares her personal and reportorial investigation into America’s search for meaning When Jordan Kisner was a child, she was saved by Jesus Christ at summer camp, much to the confusion of her nonreligious family. She was, she writes, “just naturally reverent,” a fact that didn’t change when she—much to her own confusion—lost her faith as a teenager. Not sure why her religious conviction had come or where it had gone, she did what anyone would do: “You go about the great American work of assigning yourself to other gods: yoga, talk radio, neoatheism, CrossFit, cleanses, football, the academy, the American Dream, Beyoncé.” A curiosity about the subtle systems guiding contemporary life pervades Kisner’s work. Her celebrated essay “Thin Places” (Best American Essays 2016), about an experimental neurosurgery developed to treat severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, asks how putting the neural touchpoint of the soul on a pacemaker may collide science and psychology with philosophical questions about illness, the limits of the self, and spiritual transformation. How should she understand the appearance of her own obsessive compulsive disorder at the very age she lost her faith? Intellectually curious and emotionally engaging, the essays in Thin Places manage to be both intimate and expansive, illuminating an unusual facet of American life, as well as how it reverberates with the author’s past and present preoccupations.

Thin Lizzy emerged as a four-piece in Dublin as the 1960s drew to a close, when guitarist Eric Bell and keyboard player Eric Wrixon, both from Belfast, encountered a band named Orphanage, which included Dubliners Brian Downey on drums and charismatic frontman Philip Lynott. The band evolved through a number of incarnations, through psychedelic power trio of the early years via classic four-piece guitar-toting rockers of the Live And Dangerous era, and ending with their incarnation as heavy metal heroes. With the ever-present Lynott and Downey at its core, Thin Lizzy rose to become one of the most powerful and iconic rock bands in Europe, before the erosive effects of the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle took their toll. This book presents a history of the band through its music. It covers every song released through official channels, presented in context. From the difficult early years of the early 1970s, which did produce the surprise hit single 'Whisky In The Jar', via their breakthrough album Jailbreak and the heavy rock excesses of the early 1980s, this book follows the evolution of Thin Lizzy and its stellar cast of guitarists, from start to finish, through their music, track by glorious track. Graeme Stroud is a musician and writer, having played lead guitar in bands and also solo projects since the 1970s. He has written on websites and blogs on many subjects, both musical and non-musical, for several years. He was a reviewer, interviewer and feature writer for Rock Society magazine for five years, specialising in the blues and rock genres. Since 2019, he has performed interviews and written feature articles, gig and album reviews for the rock website VelvetThunder.com. His first book, Status Quo – Song By Song was published in 2017. He lives in Kent, UK.

The Paleo Diet has helped thousands lose weight and keep it off. It's the way our earliest ancestors ate, and so it's the best way to stay lean and strong. But now, Dr. Keith Massey has uncovered evidence that the Bible and other Ancient Literature preserved a distant memory of this diet. From the Garden of Eden all the way to the Greek Olympics and beyond, ancient people knew that Man should not live on Bread alone. Excerpts from Original Thin: the Paleo Diet in the Bible and Ancient Literature: The Agricultural Revolution and the Fall of Man And this brings us back to the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. In this story, humans rebel against God by eating the one thing they were told not to. The story of the Garden of Eden is telling us that humans departed from some idyllic past when they centered their lives around what tastes good. And our bodies were already geared to experience deep pleasure in foods laden with carbohydrates. The Agricultural Revolution didn't happen overnight. But it happened fast enough that people at the time were aware that their ancestors hadn't taken part in extensive farming under the orders of growing city states. And they were also aware that nomads in the area were still living a more pristine lifestyle. And so, a story in which eating effects a fall from a state of grace resonates with that experience. At some point in the Neolithic period, people were seduced by the taste of grain products and began to order their lives around them. They began planting grains and harvesting them later. They began storing the grains and thus ate even more of them. And these societies organized themselves around planting and storing even more grain until finally they no longer hunted and ate meat as they used to. And once they headed down this path, it was impossible to turn back. Soon organized city states pressed the growing populations into servitude in support of the vicious cycle of growing and storing the agricultural harvest. And the Story of the Garden of Eden preserves cultural memories of that time. *** The Paleo Olympians The eating habits of ancient Olympians have been described to us in interesting detail. A famous athlete, Milo of Croton, reportedly consumed in one sitting an unbelievable twenty pounds of meat, just as much bread, and nine quarts of wine. Now, this is certainly not a Paleo Diet. While he's eating a lot of meat, he's eating way too much bread. But Milo is also described as eating an entire bull in one sitting, which implies that he had a reputation for heavy intake of meat protein, more so than the typical diet of the time. Milo once challenged a cowherd named Titormus to a test of strength. Titormus lifted a massive rock, carried it eight paces, and then threw it down. Milo couldn't even move it, at which the great athlete proclaimed Titormus to be another Hercules. This same Titormus is reported to have challenged Milo to an eating contest to see who could eat an entire ox the quickest. Again, while these stories are unbelievable, they are hinting at a memory that these super athletes ate diets based on meat.

The man who created the boldest hard boiled fiction, Dashiell Hammett, wrote The Thin Man in 1933 and launched the fun-loving, booze-swilling, mystery-solving couple Nick and Nora Charles into American culture. MGM sold millions of movie tickets by casting William Powell and Myrna Loy as this classiest of romantic couples. Over 14 years and six films, these stars navigated grave periods of history: the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War. The novel and films live on as gems of a unique gritty sophistication. This complete history of The Thin Man series covers the brightest stars, tastiest scandals, headlines and conflicts behind these classic films. With a cast of hundreds, we see Hammett, his lover Lillian Hellman, and their friend Dorothy Parker fight alcoholism, sexual convention and Senator Joe McCarthy in culture wars of eerie contemporaneity.
