Small g: A Summer Idyll - Patricia Highsmith - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Small g: A Summer Idyll - Patricia Highsmith - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY , CAROL AND STRANGERS ON A TRAIN Completed just months before Patricia Highsmith''s death in 1995, Small g explores the labyrinthine intricacies of passion, sexuality, and jealousy in a charming tale of love misdirected. ''It has a serenity rarely found in Highsmith''s world'' GEOFFREY ELBORN, GUARDIAN ''What is most remarkable in this novel is the empathy . . . with which Highsmith writes about gay men'' FRANCIS KING, SPECTATOR ''Like Ripley, [Highsmith''s characters] burn in a reader''s memory'' L OS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW At the ''small g'', a Zurich bar known for its not exclusively gay clientele, the lives of a small community are played out one summer.Rickie Markwalder is a designer whose lover Petey was brutally murdered. Rickie and his performing dog Lulu are regulars at the bar, as are vindictive Renate, a seamstress, and her teenage apprentice Luisa. Into their lives comes Teddie, impressionable and beautiful, and a catalyst for the series of events that will change everything.Patricia Highsmith''s final novel is an intricate exploration of love and sexuality, the depths of spite and the triumph of human kindness. It is a work that, in the tradition of Shakespeare''s A Midsummer Night''s Dream , shows us how bizarre and unpredictable love can be. Small g , in the words of her biographer Andrew Wilson, is an ''extended fairy tale suggesting that . . . happiness is precarious and . . . romance should be embraced''.

All Things Are Too Small - Becca Rothfeld - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

TIME MAGAZINE''S 100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2024 NEW YORK TIMES '' 100 MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2024''Bracing and brilliant ... scintillating writing of breadth and power'' Kate Kellaway, Observer ''A radical and important book'' James Wood, author of Serious Noticing Seriously precise ... and very funny'' Telegraph In All Things Are Too Small , virtuoso young critic and philosopher Becca Rothfeld turns her clear gaze to a series of interconnected cultural and political questions - about aesthetics, taste, literature, equality, power and sexuality. In a healthy culture, she argues, economic security allows for wild extremes of aesthetic experimentation, yet in our society we''ve got it flipped. The gap between rich and poor yawns hideously wide, while we compensate with misguided attempts to effect equality in love and art, where it does not belong.Our culture''s embrace of minimalism has left our souls impoverished: decluttering has reduced our living spaces to empty non-places; the mindfulness trend has emptied our minds of the thoughts that make us who we are; the regularization of sex has drained it of unpredictability and therefore true eroticism; and our quest for balance has yielded fictions whose protagonists aspire to excise their appetites. As intellectually illuminating as it is gloriously carnal and earthy, All Things Are Too Small is a much needed tonic in a world of oppressive sterility and limitation, and a soul cry for derangement, imbalance, obsession, ravishment and disorder.

A Brief History of Florence Nightingale - Hugh Small - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Praise for Small''s earlier work on Nightingale: ''Hugh Small, in a masterly piece of historical detective work, convincingly demonstrates what all previous historians and biographers have missed . . . This is a compelling psychological portrait of a very eminent (and complex) Victorian.'' James Le Fanu, Daily Telegraph Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) is best known as a reformer of hospital nursing during and after the Crimean War, but many feel that her nursing reputation has been overstated. A Brief History of Florence Nightingale tells the story of the sanitary disaster in her wartime hospital and why the government covered it up against her wishes. After the war she worked to put the lessons of the tragedy to good use to reduce the very high mortality from epidemic disease in the civilian population at home. She did this by persuading Parliament in 1872 to pass laws which required landlords to improve sanitation in working-class homes, and to give local authorities rather than central government the power to enforce the laws. Life expectancy increased dramatically as a result, and it was this peacetime civilian public health reform rather than her wartime hospital nursing record that established Nightingale''s reputation in her lifetime. After her death the wartime image became popular again as a means of recruiting hospital nurses and her other achievements were almost forgotten. Today, with nursing''s new emphasis on ''primary'' care and prevention outside hospitals, Nightingale''s focus on public health achievements makes her an increasingly relevant figure.
