Book excerpt: The National Book Award–winning story collection from the author of The Orphan Master’s Son offers something rare in fiction: a new way of looking at the world. “MASTERFUL.”—The Washington Post “ENTRANCING.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “PERCEPTIVE AND BRAVE.”—The New York Times Throughout these six stories, Pulitzer Prize winner Adam Johnson delves deep into love and loss, natural disasters, the influence of technology, and how the political shapes the personal, giving voice to the perspectives we don’t often hear. In “Nirvana,” a programmer whose wife has a rare disease finds solace in a digital simulacrum of the president of the United States. In “Hurricanes Anonymous,” a young man searches for the mother of his son in a Louisiana devastated by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. “George Orwell Was a Friend of Mine” follows a former warden of a Stasi prison in East Germany who vehemently denies his past, even as pieces of it are delivered in packages to his door. And in the unforgettable title story, Johnson returns to his signature subject, North Korea, depicting two defectors from Pyongyang who are trying to adapt to their new lives in Seoul, while one cannot forget the woman he left behind.

Book Friendship in the Age of Loneliness

Download or read book Friendship in the Age of Loneliness written by Adam Smiley Poswolsky and published by Running Press Adult. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB SUMMER 2021 NOMINEE* After nearly a year of social distancing and lockdown measures, it’s more clear than ever that our friendships and bonds are vital to our health and happiness. This refreshing, positive guide helps you take care of your people and form deep connections in the digital age. We are lonelier than ever. The average American hasn't made a new friend in the last five years. Research has shown that people with close friends are happier, healthier, and live longer than people who lack strong social bonds. But why—when we are seemingly more connected than ever before—can it feel so difficult to keep those bonds alive and well? Why do we spend only four percent of our time with friends? In this warm, inspiring guide, Adam "Smiley" Poswolsky proposes a new solution for the mounting pressures of modern life: focus on your friendships. Smiley offers practical habits and playful reminders on how to create meaningful connections, make new friends, and deepen relationships. He'll help you develop a healthier relationship with technology, but he'll also encourage you to prioritize real-world experiences, send snail mail, and engage in self-reflective exercises. Written in short, digestible, action-oriented sections, this book reminds us that nurturing old and new friendships is a ritual, a necessity, and one of the most worthwhile things we can do in life.

They were created for a specific purpose: to be soldiers, to lead armies. For two decades they were trained for that purpose-physically, mentally, and emotionally. But something went wrong. The two soldiers disappeared, and the project was terminated. Now, centuries later, it is time for Sentry and Sentinel to meet again in an encounter that will decide the fate of humanity. For many people it will be a battle that will be the culmination of many years of intensive work, while for others it will be a sudden and nearly incomprehensible change: an FBI Captain will be forced to confront his prejudices; a reporter will discover a terrible secret from her childhood; a Runner will lead a revolution; and a president will have to face the truth about himself. .For some it will mean betrayals. Others will become heroes.

Book Hesitant Hope  A memoir of anguish  endurance and healing

Download or read book Hesitant Hope A memoir of anguish endurance and healing written by Helen DeVries and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013, Helen DeVries received a death sentence – stage IV cancer of the appendix. Her only hope was a drastic surgery that would take twenty hours and require removing the contents of her abdomen and flushing the peritoneal cavity with highly concentrated, heated chemotherapy – an extremely invasive procedure requiring days in intensive care and weeks in the hospital. The alternative was three to six months of symptom-free living followed by palliative care for another two and a half to three years... “but certainly not five years.” The HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) treatment would take place at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, but to even qualify for the procedure would require a six-month chemotherapy regime. Hesitant Hope maps out the psychological landscape she and those close to her had to cross and illustrates the importance of a strong support network of family and friends. A lucid, unflinching look at a subject that will touch almost everyone at some point in their life. While cancer treatments continue to evolve, statistics remain ominous – 1 in 2 Canadians can be expected to develop cancer in their lifetime.
