Our Home Movies is a story about a storyteller - Marty Nyrop - on the edge of realizing an ambition that only a few obsessive individuals ever achieve. He's directing his first feature film and it stars Laura Trent-Sampson, a world-renowned celebrity. But instead of transforming his life with this dream-come-true, Marty's next move is to throw away his hard-won career by bolting from the movie set with the actress's newborn baby in his arms. What on earth has he done to himself? And to the child? By abducting the son of his negligent, emotionally destructive performers, Marty makes an irrevocable choice: no more actors for this baby he's suddenly claimed as his own, no more directing for himself, and so, as only a parent would fully understand, no more Marty entirely. He flees knowing only that he's determined to give this still-nameless child a chance in life that he and his brother, the child's father, never knew. Yet seventeen years later, he must fight for his now-teenage son's future again when Laura, the enduringly famous birth mother, suddenly reappears in their lives with her own reality-TV crew in tow, intent on undoing everything Marty has achieved as a father. Our Home Movies is a search for connection - with children, siblings, parents, and lovers - even as those connections are misshapen by the moviemaking process and its aftermath. It's about the desire for celebrity, the price of gaining business and creative power, the real-world meaning to be found in Romantic Comedy, the explosive synergy of an actor's need for approval twisted together with a director's need for control, all of it braided with an American character trait that insists we're entitled to reinvent ourselves. Each issue is bound up with the others to make Our Home Movies a worthy addition to the "Hollywood novel" bookshelf. Author Sherril Jaffe, a PEN Award winner and Professor Emerita of Literature and Creative Writing at Sonoma State University writes: Our Home Movies is amazingly accomplished. I am in awe at the intricacy of its construction and all that it offers to a reader - not just entree into what it's really like, in all aspects, to make a movie, but also how it gives a way for the reader to grapple with eternal conflicts: work and family, art and life, conflicts between brothers, unresolved traumas, the Japanese internment camps - and how there is a view into the adolescent skater world, a love story, a veritable course in film theory. Like a rom-com, the protagonist Marty wins the directorship, loses it and wins it again. Great themes emerge, doppelgangers merge into each other, and the past is redeemed by the future. By the end of the novel, I will have bonded with Marty on several fronts. Although the story has been about Hollywood and the making of movies, it has also been about the fact that parenting always involves an enormous sacrifice, about the incredible force that bonds one to one's child, and about how art reflects, redeems and resolves life, and so much more. I'm in awe at how the story is structured like a chiasmus; there's a great feeling of exhilaration at the end, its lovely final emotional moment leaves me utterly satisfied, as if all of my various parts had been exercised, all the conflicts of my life resolved, all the parts falling into place, the narrative so sure-footed and beautifully structured.

The “graceful, loving,” (The New York Times Book Review), never-before-told story of Hollywood icon Natalie Wood’s glamorous life, sudden death, and lasting legacy, written by her daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner. Natasha Gregson Wagner’s mother, Natalie Wood, was a child actress who became a legendary movie star, the dark-haired beauty of Splendor in the Grass and West Side Story. She and Natasha’s stepfather, the actor Robert Wagner, were a Hollywood it-couple twice over, first in the 1950s, and then again when they remarried in the 70s. To Natasha, she was, above all, a doting, loving mom. But Natalie’s sudden death by drowning off Catalina Island at the age of forty-three devastated her family, turned Robert Wagner into a person of interest, and transformed a vibrant wife, mother, and actress into a figure of tragedy. The weekend has long been shrouded in rumors and scandalous tabloid speculation, but until now there has never been an account of how the events and their aftermath were experienced by Natalie’s beloved eldest daughter. Here, for the first time, is a“deeply intimate chronicle of life with her famous mother and how Wood’s death devastated the family” (Los Angeles Times). Cutting through the shadow hanging over her mother’s legacy, More Than Love is a “poignant” (The Washington Post) tale of a daughter coming to terms with her grief, as well as a “revealing new look at Natalie Wood” (Good Morning America).

Does your Grandmother dip snuff in secret? Has the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan ever run your long johns up the flagpole? Has your mother ever starved the family to death while waiting for moochy relatives to leave at suppertime? Have you suspected that your family cat had a desire to eat you? Has a high school custodian ever held a 12-gage shotgun on you? Does your Grampa have a secret cache of whisky in the barn? If you can answer "Yes" to any of these questions, and maybe even if you can't, Grandma Dipped Snuff is a must-read book for you. Taken from a weekly column in a small-town newspaper, these essays are as current as today, but reflect the sense of a time gone by.

A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY SUMMER READ “And, at the center of it all, am I actually nice or am I just performing a role I think I’m expected to play?” Mia Mercado is a razor-sharp cultural critic and essayist known for her witty and hilarious dissections of the uncomfortable truths that rule our lives. In this thought-provoking collection of new essays, Mercado examines what it means to be “polite,” “agreeable,” and “nice.” She covers topics from the subtleties of the “Bad Bitch” and why women dominate the ASMR market, to what makes her dog an adorable little freak and how you know if you’re shy. This is a book about the unspoken trick mirror of our “good” intentions: the inherent performance of the social media apology, celebrating men when they do the bare minimum, and why we trust a Midwesterner to watch our stuff when we go pee. Throughout, she ponders her identity as an Asian woman and asks what “nice” even means—and why anyone would want to be it. With writing that is as precise as it is profound, and cultural references that range from trash reality television to the New York Times Sunday-morning crossword puzzle, Mercado uncovers weird, long-overdue truths about our frailties and failings. In the end, she sees them not as a source of shame but as a cause for celebration. Filled with revelations that range from the silly to the serious, She’s Nice Though offers a mind-bending glimpse into the illusions and delusions of contemporary life—and reveals who we *really* are when no one is watching.

"In addition to being the first academic study of the giallo film in English, this book surveys more than fifty films of this subgenre. The works of twenty-five different filmmakers are considered, including Mario Bava and Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Sergio Martino, Pupi Avati, and Umberto Lenzi. Koven explores the interrelationships between these films; how one influences the others, how certain filmmakers take ideas and expand on them, and how those ideas are further transformed by other filmmakers. Koven also discusses the impact of the giallo on the later North American slasher genre."--BOOK JACKET.
