Climb into the mind of one of the greatest writers of all time, Ernest Hemingway, and experience his life in an imaginative, thrilling, and historically accurate way that brings his personality to life and exposes shocking details about his (alleged) suicide.* Candid and hard-hitting, tender and romantic, the story begins where Hemingway's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Old Man and the Sea left off. But this story isn't centered around an old man fighting a giant marlin, but a not-so-old man fighting his past, himself, and the incarnated evil intent on destroying him. The not-so-old man is an ex-champion long-distance swimmer who sets out on a long swim in the Gulf of Mexico to forget the two heart-breaking tragedies that for decades have ruled his life. As memories of his past haunt him, he distracts himself from his misery by thinking of his favorite writer, Ernest Hemingway. From Hemingway's early childhood when his mother dressed him as a girl, to his wartime exploits, four marriages, ex-pat life in Paris, safaris, and bullfights, to the genetic illness that could have caused him to commit suicide, all 61 years of Hemingway's life are woven into a fast-paced, psychological drama that is not only thrilling in its own right but punctuates the tenor, importance, and inspirational qualities of Hemingway's works. You'll learn about the four women he married and how each influenced his writing. You won't just learn about safaris, bullfights, and deep-sea fishing, but feel the sweaty palms and pounding heart of the struggles as if you were there. The Normandy invasion, Spanish Civil War, skiing in Austria, and ex-pat life in Paris with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and Pablo Picasso all come to life in revealing and enlightening scenes. What was the name of the high school newspaper he wrote for? Who helped him get his first job as a cub beat-reporter at the Kansas City Star? Why did he and his first wife, Hadley, move from Paris to Toronto and then back again? What Parisian caf did he pen much of his first novel in? Why did he move from Cuba to Idaho? What was the name of the Venetian princess he had a platonic (plus the hugging and kissing) relationship with, all in front of his fourth wife? How much did the 60-foot long swimming pool cost at his house in Key West, and who paid for it? What was the name of the Key West bar he met his third wife in, and what magazine did she write for? What was the name of his favorite cat? How much did he weigh on March 24th, 1960? What was the name of his fishing boat, how long was it, and what kind of engine did it have? What odd habit did his second son Greg have? And more. Much, much more. As the not-so-old man remembers all these things about Papa Hemingway, suddenly, he finds himself in a surreal, life or death struggle in the middle of the sea. Pirates? A cargo ship bearing down on him? A pack of hungry sharks? An angry marlin looking for revenge? The words of Hemingway echo in his head. They inspire him, guide him, comfort him in this, his darkest hour. But will that be enough for him to muster the strength of character to save himself? Or is it time to just cut bait and admit defeat? The not-so-old man's strength is fading. His will is weakening. And his mind. . . his mind. . . might just become Hemingway's mind too. "Beautifully written and very heartwarming..." "Hemingway fans will rejoice, and many more will be made upon reading this book..."

The Strange Bird—from New York Times bestselling novelist Jeff VanderMeer—is a novella-length digital original that expands and weaves deeply into the world of his “thorough marvel”* of a novel, Borne. The Strange Bird is a new kind of creature, built in a laboratory—she is part bird, part human, part many other things. But now the lab in which she was created is under siege and the scientists have turned on their animal creations. Flying through tunnels, dodging bullets, and changing her colors and patterning to avoid capture, the Strange Bird manages to escape. But she cannot just soar in peace above the earth. The sky itself is full of wildlife that rejects her as one of their own, and also full of technology—satellites and drones and other detritus of the human civilization below that has all but destroyed itself. And the farther she flies, the deeper she finds herself in the orbit of the Company, a collapsed biotech firm that has populated the world with experiments both failed and successful that have outlived the corporation itself: a pack of networked foxes, a giant predatory bear. But of the many creatures she encounters with whom she bears some kind of kinship, it is the humans—all of them now simply scrambling to survive—who are the most insidious, who still see her as simply something to possess, to capture, to trade, to exploit. Never to understand, never to welcome home. With The Strange Bird, Jeff VanderMeer has done more than add another layer, a new chapter, to his celebrated novel Borne. He has created a whole new perspective on the world inhabited by Rachel and Wick, the Magician, Mord, and Borne—a view from above, of course, but also a view from deep inside the mind of a new kind of creature who will fight and suffer and live for the tenuous future of this world. Praise for Borne *“Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach Trilogy was an ever-creeping map of the apocalypse; with Borne he continues his investigation into the malevolent grace of the world, and it's a thorough marvel.” —Colson Whitehead “VanderMeer is that rare novelist who turns to nonhumans not to make them approximate us as much as possible but to make such approximation impossible. All of this is magnified a hundredfold in Borne . . . Here is the story about biotech that VanderMeer wants to tell, a vision of the nonhuman not as one fixed thing, one fixed destiny, but as either peaceful or catastrophic, by our side or out on a rampage as our behavior dictates—for these are our children, born of us and now to be borne in whatever shape or mess we have created. This coming-of-age story signals that eco-fiction has come of age as well: wilder, more reckless and more breathtaking than previously thought, a wager and a promise that what emerges from the twenty-first century will be as good as any from the twentieth, or the nineteenth.” —Wai Chee Dimock, The New York Times Book Review

A dark, dystopian portrait of artists struggling to resist violent suppression—“queer, English, a masterpiece.” (Hilton Als) Set amid the rolling hills and the sandy shingle beaches of coastal Sussex, this disquieting novel depicts an England in which bland conformity is the terrifying order of the day. Violent gangs roam the country destroying art and culture and brutalizing those who resist the purge. As the menacing “They” creep ever closer, a loosely connected band of dissidents attempt to evade the chilling mobs, but it’s only a matter of time until their luck runs out. Winner of the 1977 South-East Arts Literature Prize, Kay Dick’s They is an uncanny and prescient vision of a world hostile to beauty, emotion, and the individual.

The death of Ernest Hemingway in 1961 ended one of the most original and influential careers in American literature. His works have been translated into every major language, and the Nobel Prize awarded to him in 1954 recognized his impact on contemporary writing. While many people are familiar with the public image of Hemingway and the legendary accounts of his life, few knew him as an intimate. With this collection of letters, presented for the first time as a Scribner Classic, a new Hemingway emerges. Ranging from 1917 to 1961, this generous selection of nearly six hundred letters is, in effect, both a self-portrait and an autobiography. In his own words, Hemingway candidly reveals himself to a wide variety of people: family, friends, enemies, editors, translators, and almost all the prominent writers of his day. In so doing he proves to be one of the most entertaining letter writers of all time. Carlos Baker has chosen letters that not only represent major turning points in Hemingway's career but also exhibit character, wit, and the writer's typical enthusiasm for hunting, fishing, drinking, and eating. A few are ingratiating, some downright truculent. Others present his views on writing and reading, criticize books by friend or foe, and discuss women, soldiers, politicians, and prizefighters. Perhaps more than anything, these letters show Hemingway's irrepressible humor, given far freer rein in his correspondence than in his books. An informal biography in letters, the product of forty-five years' living and writing, Ernest Hemingway: Selected Letters leaves an indelible impression of an extraordinary man. Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1899. At seventeen he left home to join the Kansas City Star as a reporter, then volunteered to serve in the Red Cross during World War I. He was severely wounded at the Italian front and was awarded the Croce di Guerra. He moved to Paris in 1921, where he devoted himself to writing fiction, and where he fell in with the expatriate circle that included Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and Ford Madox Ford. His novels include The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), To Have and Have Not (1937), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), and The Old Man and the Sea (1952). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1954. He died in Ketchum, Idaho, on July 2, 1961.

Winner of the 2022 Governor General’s Literary Award in Fiction Shortlisted for the 2023 Rathbones Folio Prize in Fiction Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The New Yorker, Vulture, The Times Literary Supplement, and more Pure Colour is a galaxy of a novel: explosive, celestially bright, huge, and streaked with beauty. It is a contemporary bible, an atlas of feeling, and an absurdly funny guide to the great (and terrible) things about being alive. Sheila Heti is a philosopher of modern experience, and she has reimagined what a book can hold. Here we are, just living in the first draft of Creation, which was made by some great artist, who is now getting ready to tear it apart. In this first draft of the world, a woman named Mira leaves home to study. There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Mira’s chest like a portal—to what, she doesn’t know. When Mira is older, her beloved father dies, and his spirit passes into her. Together, they become a leaf on a tree. But photosynthesis gets boring, and being alive is a problem that cannot be solved, even by a leaf. Eventually, Mira must remember the human world she’s left behind, including Annie, and choose whether or not to return.
