Whit
Gli etero non hanno cotte per altri uomini, giusto?
Solo che Whit, il mio coinquilino, è un tipo davvero intrigante, e mi ritrovo a guardarlo costantemente. È un enigma che proprio non riesco a risolvere. E i sentimenti che provo per lui mi confondono.
Poi, una notte, mi ritrovo abbracciato a lui e da allora non posso più farne a meno.
Whit, però, nasconde dei segreti. Non si apre con nessuno, e più mi innamoro di lui, meno ne so.
Ma non riesco a lasciarlo andare.
Finché non mi rendo conto che alla fine della nostra storia sarò io a ritrovarmi a pezzi.

Accordion Eulogies: A Memoir of Music, Migration, and Mexico
Searching, propulsive, and deeply spiritual, Accordion Eulogies is an odyssey to repair a severed family lineage, told through the surprising history of a musical instrument Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez never knew his grandfather. Stories swirled around this mythologized, larger-than-life figure: That he had abandoned his family, and had possibly done something awful that put a curse on his descendants. About his grandfather, young Noé was sure of only one thing: That he had played the accordion. Now an adult, reckoning with the legacy of silence surrounding his family's migration from Mexico, Álvarez resolves both to take up the instrument and to journey into Mexico to discover the grandfather he never knew. Álvarez travels across the US with his accordion, meeting makers and players in cities that range from San Antonio to Boston. He uncovers the story of an instrument that's been central to classic American genres, but also played a critical role in indigenous Mexican history. Like the accordion itself, Álvarez feels trapped between his roots in Mexico and the U.S. As he tries to make sense of his place in the world--as a father, a son, a musician--he gets closer to uncovering the mystery of his origins. -

Georgia O'Keeffe: A Life (Second Edition, Enlarged, Expanded)
One of the greatest and most admired artists of the twentieth century, Georgia O'Keeffe led a life rich in intense relationships--with family, friends, and especially with fellow artist Alfred Stieglitz. Her extraordinary accomplishments, such as the often eroticized flowers, bones, stones, skulls, and pelvises she painted with such command, are all the more remarkable when seen in the context of the struggle she waged between the rigorous demands of love and work. When Roxana Robinson's definitive biography of O'Keeffe was first published in 1989, it received rave reviews and was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. This new edition features a new foreword by the author setting O'Keefe in an artistic context over the last thirty years since the book was first published, as well as previously unpublished letters of the young O'Keeffe to her lover, Arthur MacMahon. It also relates the story of Robinson's own encounter with the artist. As interest in O'Keeffe continues to grow among museum-goers and scholars alike, this book remains indispensable for understanding her life and art.
