In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man: A Memoir
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE - From two-time National Magazine Award winner Tom Junod, a searching, brilliantly stylized memoir about a charismatic, philandering father who tried to mold his son in his image, the many secrets he hid, the son's obsessive quest to uncover them, and ultimately, the true meaning of manhood "Affecting. . . . Moves like a song, drawing you in with its melody before delivering an emotional wallop." --The New York Times Big Lou Junod dominated every room he entered. He worshipped the sun and the sea, his own bronzed body, Frank Sinatra, and beautiful women. He was a successful traveling handbag salesman who carried himself like a celebrity. He'd return from the road with stories of going to nightclubs where the stars--Ava Gardner, maybe Liz Taylor--"couldn't keep their eyes off . . . your father." He had countless affairs and didn't do much to hide them. Lou could be cruel to Fran, his wife of fifty-nine years, but he loved his youngest son. Tom was a skin-and-bones, nervous boy, devoted to his mother, but Lou sought to turn him into a version of himself. He showered him with advice about how to dress ("A turtleneck is the most flattering thing a man can wear"), how to be an alpha male, and especially, how to attract and bed women. His parting speech when Tom went to college was: "Do yourself a favor and date a Jewish girl. They're all nymphos." Tom wrestled with Lou's imposing presence all his life. When one of Lou's mistresses stood up at his funeral and announced, "Can we all . . . just agree . . . that this . . . was a man," Tom set off to learn the facts of his father's life, and why he was the way he was. The stunning secrets he uncovered--about his father, his father's lovers, and deceptions going back generations--staggered Tom, but in the process allowed him, at last, to become his own man, by his own lights. In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man is an intensely emotional detective story powered by a series of cascading revelations. The book is a triumph of bravura writing; it is a tale of a son reckoning with the consequences of his father's life, and in the end, the story of the son's redemption. -

Divine Color: Hindu Prints from Modern Bengal
Transcendent and kaleidoscopic, these rare lithographs from colonial Calcutta helped forge the visual culture of modern India
Under the rule of the British Raj, Bengali artists embraced European techniques not to mimic the West, but to devise a uniquely local visual language that appealed to a diverse audience. Divine Color magnifies this phenomenon through mapping the explosion of popular devotional art through lithographic printing in 19th- and early 20th-century Calcutta (now Kolkata), then the capital of British India. These vibrant and accessible mass-produced images brought the divine into everyday life, offering devotees new ways to engage with their gods, and reshaping spiritual experiences in colonial India.
Set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing and cosmopolitan city, these prints emerged at the crossroads of vernacular tradition and colonial exchange. Their spirited aesthetic, devotional power and often political symbolism made them powerful tools of cultural expression and identity. The visual language pioneered by Calcutta lithographers played a foundational role in the formation of modern India's visual culture; their influence is visible in everything from advertising and political posters to decorative arts, underscoring the ritual, commercial and political power of these artworks. Divine Color restores these religious lithographs to their rightful place in the history of Indian art and invites readers to experience not just the divine world of Hindu gods, but the shaping of a modern visual India.Sold out -
Bad Words
"The rare kind of book I can't believe doesn't already exist . . . [a] clear, clever voice and incisive social commentary elevate the book's irresistible will-they-won't-they romance to a once-in-a-lifetime read about truth, art, vulnerability, and all the sticky places they intersect. BAD WORDS LEFT ME BUZZING." - EMILY HENRY, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Great Big Beautiful Life
A sharp and deeply felt debut about art, ambition, and the connections that both inspire and undo us. Parker Navarro's debut novel was meant to define his career - until critic Selina Chan's blistering review made it the flop of the decade. Four years later, his new book is his shot at redemption; for Selina, reviewing him again is a professional risk she can't refuse. When her second takedown ignites a viral feud, both their fortunes shift overnight. But as the literary world feeds on their public sparring, a quieter dialogue begins - one that challenges everything they thought they knew about success, sincerity, and each other. Both incisive and tender, Bad Words lays bare the costs of creation - the pull between ambition and integrity, the vulnerability of being seen, and the unexpected closeness that can grow in the space between critique and care. When words can make or break us, how do you stay true to what matters most? "A genre-redefining romance that sets a thrilling new standard... Easily one of my favourites of the year, if not the decade." - Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Our Perfect Storm "Full of blistering barbs, incisive takedowns and searing gazes, Bad Words is smart and propulsive." - Mary H.K. Choi, New York Times bestselling author of Pool House
"Full of wit, warmth, and deliciously sharp observations on books and the people who love them... I didn't want it to end." - Stacey Yu, author of Kitten -

Samurai
Explores the reality and myths of the samurai from medieval times to today's popular culture
The figure of the samurai is unique in its global intelligibility, read both as a symbol of Japan and as a universal icon of the virtuous and fearless warrior. While the term is now common worldwide, there is little understanding of the historical reality, or of the wide variety of ways in which the stereotype has been used over time. This is the first book to explore the centuries-long trajectory of the samurai through objects from international collections. It discusses the warrior class's historical origins in the medieval period's civil wars and stories they told of their own achievements. With the establishment of peace, the samurai became an official class fulfilling a bureaucratic role. The ideal of the medieval warrior took on legendary status.
Although the samurai social class was abolished in 1876, with the full opening of Japan to international visitors, the concept of the samurai was packaged for foreign tourists and repurposed as a model for the modern soldier in a period of military conflict and colonial expansion. The image of the samurai has been interpreted and reimagined in Japan and across the world in myriad ways. Discussions of national myth and global samurai bring the story up to the present day through a selection of films, television shows, manga, anime, video games, and more.
