From the Academy Award-winning cowriter of Birdman, a wonderfully eccentric, suspenseful debut in the tradition of Misery and Kiss of the Spiderwoman about a screenwriter kidnapped by a world-famous director who orders him to compose a masterpiece. Pablo, a failed Argentine novelist-turned-screenwriter, has been kidnapped by the greatest Latin American film director of all time and is kept in a basement where he works, day after day, on what he is told must at all costs be a great, world-changing screenplay. Every night, after finishing work on the script, Pablo writes in his notebook and every morning he crosses out what he wrote the night before. The Crossed-Out Notebook is Pablo’s diary of this time: being brought food by a maid; being threatened with a gun; vociferously arguing with the director about what he’s written the previous day. The clash between the two men and their different approaches leads to a movie being made, a gun going off, an unlikely escape, and a final confrontation. In the end, The Crossed-Out Notebook is a darkly funny novel full of intrigue and surprise about the essence of the creative process; a short, crazy ode to any artist whose brilliance shines through strangeness and adversity.

This eye-opening perspective on Stanley’s expedition reveals new details about the Victorian explorer and his African crew on the brink of the colonial Scramble for Africa. In 1871, Welsh American journalist Henry M. Stanley traveled to Zanzibar in search of the “missing” Scottish explorer and missionary David Livingstone. A year later, Stanley emerged to announce that he had “found” and met with Livingstone on Lake Tanganyika. His alleged utterance there, “Dr. Livingstone, I presume,” was one of the most famous phrases of the nineteenth century, and Stanley’s book, How I Found Livingstone, became an international bestseller. In this fascinating volume Mathilde Leduc-Grimaldi and James L. Newman transcribe and annotate the entirety of Stanley’s documentation, making available for the first time in print a broader narrative of Stanley’s journey that includes never-before-seen primary source documents—worker contracts, vernacular plant names, maps, ruminations on life, lines of poetry, bills of lading—all scribbled in his field notebooks. Finding Dr. Livingstone is a crucial resource for those interested in exploration and colonization in the Victorian era, the scientific knowledge of the time, and the peoples and conditions of Tanzania prior to its colonization by Germany.

Una novela vertiginosa sobre un cineasta megalómano y su guionista cautivo, a quien obliga a escribirle una obra maestra. Un thriller intelectual escrito en forma de diario. Hasta ahora, Pablo ha sido aspirante a novelista y luego aspirante a guionista. Hasta ahora. Porque ahora sí escribe guiones. Guiones de éxito. Lleva dos en cuatro años. Lo ha secuestrado Santiago Salvatierra, «el más grande director de cine latinoamericano de todos los tiempos». Lo tiene confinado en el sótano de su mansión de campo. El tercer guion ha de cambiar la historia del cine. Ha de elevar a Salvatierra a lo más alto. A codearse con Fellini, Bergman y Kurosawa. Pero algo sucede. Lo cuenta Pablo en su diario de cautiverio. Un cuaderno que escribe de madrugada y tacha y esconde antes de que empiece el día. Un diario que lo quiere narrar todo. Todo. ------- «Vos me estás ayudando, Pablo, dijo. Eso es todo lo que hacés. Me ayudás. Tenés el privilegio de ayudarme, y de esa manera sos parte de un suceso histórico. Nadie hace nada por mí en mis películas. Yo lo hago todo. Incluso las actúo. Yo las ilumino, y las edito, y les compongo la música, y les diseño el vestuario y el sonido. El resto me ayuda. Son mis ayudantes. Porque no se puede hacer una película completamente solo. Menos una película que va a cambiar la historia del cine mundial.» ------- ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A dramatic novel about a megalomaniac filmmaker and his captive screenwriter, who he forces to write a masterpiece. An intellectual thriller written in diary format. Until now, Pablo was an aspiring novelist and then an aspiring screenwriter. Until now. Because now, he does write scripts. Successful scripts. He’s written two in four years. He has been kidnapped by Santiago Salvatierra, “the greatest Latin-American film director of all time.” He is imprisoned in the basement of his country estate. The third script must change the history of film. It must elevate Salvatierra completely: to the ranks of Fellini, Bergman, and Kurosawa. But something happens. Pablo tells about it in his captivity diary. A notebook that he writes in at dawn, then crosses out and hides before the day begins. A diary that wants to tell all. Everything. “You are helping me, Pablo,” he said. “That is all you do. You help me. You have the privilege of helping me, and in that way you are part of a historic event. Nobody does anything for me in my films. I do it all. I even act in them. I light them, and edit them, and I compose the music, and I design the costumes and the sound. The rest just help me. They are my helpers. Because you can’t make a movie all by yourself, much less a movie that will change the history of world cinema.”

From the critically acclaimed author of This Burns My Heart comes a “luminous mother-daughter saga” (Entertainment Weekly) about a young woman who is forced to flee 1980s Brazil for California, and in doing so unearths the hidden life of her enigmatic mother. Mara Alencar’s mother Ana is her moon, her sun, her stars. Ana, a struggling voice-over actress, is an admirably brave and recklessly impulsive woman who does everything in her power to care for her little girl in perilous 1980s Rio de Janeiro. With no other family or friends her own age, Ana eclipses Mara’s entire world. They take turns caring for each other—in ways big and small. But who is Ana, really? As she grows older, Mara slowly begins to piece together the many facets of Ana’s complicated life—a mother, a rebel, and always, an actress. When Ana becomes involved with a civilian rebel group attempting to undermine the city’s cruel Police Chief, their fragile arrangement begins to unravel. Mara is forced to flee the only home she’s ever known, for California, where she lives as an undocumented immigrant, caregiving for a dying woman. It’s here that she begins to grapple with her turbulent past and starts to uncover vital truths—about her mother, herself, and what it means to truly take care of someone. A “lovely and heartbreaking” (People) story that is “simultaneously dreamlike and visceral” (The Atlantic), The Caregiver is “a beautiful testament to Samuel Park’s extraordinary talents as a storyteller…that reads, in some moments, like a thriller—and, in others, like a meditation on what it means to be alive…A ferocious page-turner with deep wells of compassion for the struggles of the living—and the sins of the dead” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

The Finnegans Wake Notebook Edition is a fully integrated and cross-referenced edition of all the extant work-books compiled by Joyce after the completion of Ulysses. It will be published as a series of fascicles, one per authorial notebook, three per scribal notebook, fifty-five in all. This will make individual notebooks available to scholars as they appear and allow critical feedback, laying the foundations for an electronic edition that will be prepared simultaneously. The editorial aim is to bring together all of the information relevant to each note in as concise and simple a way as possible. The Finnegans Wake Notebook Edition will provide a reference library of comprehensively quoted source material-in effect an annotated digest of Joyce's working library-which will serve as a new starting point not just for exegesis of Finnegans Wake, but also for biographical, textual, and literary criticism of Joyce. Furthermore, the Edition will allow for a reconstruction of Joyce's intellectual concerns and compositional habits during the drafting of Work in Progress / Finnegans Wake.
