Identity is something that we all seek-sometimes for our entire lives. Even if we are lucky enough to eventually find it, it doesn't always bring true happiness, and in the end, we inevitably lose it. Relive your quest for identity within the safety of the fictional characters in Tales of Real Life. You'll meet a group of children who enjoy their first drinking experience; a mother who is shaken by the sudden and tragic death of her daughter; a young man who believes in an imagined, mystical wood in order to find happiness in a foreign country; and an old man who is confronted with the loneliness of his age. The stories in the second section of the collection, Tales of the Insane, provide a pleasant escape compared to the identity crisis in Tales of Real Life. A young civil servant recounts the life stories of the bizarre patients of the mental institution at which he's been ordered to work. Inspired by author Harald Waxenegger's precious and tragic childhood recollections and his life experiences, Tales of Real Life and The Insane offers an intriguing glimpse into the quest for identity.

A biography of the spectacular rise and fall of Eddie Antar, better known as "Crazy Eddie," whose home electronics empire changed the world even as it turned out to be one of the biggest business scams of all time Back in the fall of 2016 we heard the news about the passing of Eddie Antar, "Crazy Eddie" as he was known to millions of people, the man behind the successful chain of electronic stores and one of the most iconic ad campaigns in history. Few things evoke the New York of a particular era the way "Crazy Eddie! His prices are insaaaaane!" does. The journalist Herb Greenberg called his death the "end of an era" and that couldn't be more true. What's insane is that his story has never been told. Before Enron, before Madoff, before The Wolf of Wall Street, Eddie Antar's corruption was second to none. The difference was that it was a street franchise, a local place that was in the blood stream of everyone's daily life in the 1970s and early '80s. And Eddie pulled it off with a certain style, an in your face blue collar chutzpah. Despite the fact that then U.S. Attorney Michael Chertoffcalled him "the Darth Vader of capitalism" after the extent of the fraud was revealed, one of the largest SEC frauds in American history after Crazy Eddie's stores went public in 1984, Eddie was talked about fondly by the people who worked for him. They still do--there are myriads of ex-Crazy Eddie employee web pages that still attract fans, and the Crazy Eddie fraud scheme is now taught in every business school across the United States. Many years have passed since the franchise went down in spectacular fashion but Crazy Eddie's moment has endured the way that iconic brands and characters do--one only need Google the media outpouring that accompanied his death. Maybe it's because it crystallized everything about 1970s New York almost perfectly, the merchandise and rise of consumer electronics (stereos!), the ads (cheesy!), the money (cash!). In Retail Gangster, investigative journalist Gary Weiss takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most unbelievable business scam stories of all time, a story spanning continents and generations, reaffirming the old adage that the truth is often stranger than fiction.

Excerpt from The Walled City: A Story of the Criminal Insane SO far as I am aware no true story of the life of the insane criminal has ever been written for the general public. It has been told in a technical manner, of course, for the benefit of those interested in the scientific and sociological aspect of the subject, but such writings have little popular interest, and do not convey a cor rect picture to the Inind of the average reader. There have also been sensational writings by former inmates, or by well meaning enthusiasts, who have taken a hasty and altogether inadequate survey of some criminal institutions and upon this veneer have founded their stories. But none of these writings give the average reader a true picture of the daily life as it goes on in these interesting institutions.

Journey to the edge of insanity and meet Cowboy and Ophelia in a brutally frank portrayal of life in the mysterious and dark realm of the psychotic. Surviving times of intense rage and pain, theirs is a capturing love story. The book is a series of fluid short stories providing a continuity found in the chapters of a novel. However, each one is a story unto itself, yet is strongly related by the common threads of characters, action and timeline. This gives the reader a freedom not available in the usual medium, combining said continuity with a sharply defined intensity, as only the short story format allows. "I thoroughly enjoyed Tales of Insanity and think it is well written and thought-provoking. As we have just published Thom Jones' stories, we are now looking for something a bit less dark. Tales of Insanity is a story that must be told." Kathrynn Di Tomasso Little, Brown & Company

The Insanity of God is the personal and lifelong journey of an ordinary couple from rural Kentucky who thought they were going on just your ordinary missionary pilgrimage, but discovered it would be anything but. After spending over six hard years doing relief work in Somalia, and experiencing life where it looked like God had turned away completely and He was clueless about the tragedies of life, the couple had a crisis of faith and left Africa asking God, "Does the gospel work anywhere when it is really a hard place? It sure didn't work in Somalia. Nik recalls that, “God had always been so real to me, to Ruth, and to our boys. But was He enough, for the utter weariness of soul I experienced at that time, in that place, under those circumstances?” It is a question that many have asked and one that, if answered, can lead us to a whole new world of faith. How does faith survive, let alone flourish in a place like the Middle East? How can Good truly overcome such evil? How do you maintain hope when all is darkness around you? How can we say “greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world” when it may not be visibly true in that place at that time? How does anyone live an abundant, victorious Christian life in our world’s toughest places? Can Christianity even work outside of Western, dressed-up, ordered nations? If so, how? The Insanity of God tells a story—a remarkable and unique story to be sure, yet at heart a very human story—of the Ripkens’ own spiritual and emotional odyssey. The gripping, narrative account of a personal pilgrimage into some of the toughest places on earth, combined with sobering and insightful stories of the remarkable people of faith Nik and Ruth encountered on their journeys, will serve as a powerful course of revelation, growth, and challenge for anyone who wants to know whether God truly is enough.
