    foreign rights September 2018 www.thegernertco.com JOHN GRISHAM #1 New York Times bestseller • Published in 40 languages • 375+ million books in print 23 October 2018 #1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham returns to Clanton, Mississippi to tell the story of an unthinkable murder, the bizarre trial that follows it, and its profound and lasting effect on the people of Ford County. October 1946, Clanton, Mississippi Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippi's favorite son - a decorated World War II hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed his pastor and friend, the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder weren't shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete's only statement about it - to the sheriff, to his lawyers, to the judge, to the jury, and to his family was: "I have nothing to say." He was not afraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave. In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us on an incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippines during World War II; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clanton courtroom where Pete's defense attorney tries desperately to save him. Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoning would not be complete without Grisham's signature layers of legal suspense, and he delivers on every page.

    Touch Me, I’m Sick: Hysterical Intimacies | Sick Theories by Margeaux Feldman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Margeaux Feldman 2021 ! Touch Me, I’m Sick: Hysterical Intimacies | Sick Theories Margeaux Feldman Doctorate of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2021 Abstract This dissertation develops what I call a “sick theories” approach to the long history of labeling girls, women, and femmes – and their desires – as hysterical, sick, pathological, and in need of a cure. My approach builds on the insight that repressed trauma can lead to chronic illness, which was discovered in the early twentieth century with the emergence of the figure of the hysteric: a girl or woman experiencing inexplicable symptoms, from a persistent cough to full body seizures. Drawing on recent work in trauma studies, I offer a new lens to disability studies by reclaiming the figure of the hysteric, who has been largely neglected in this field. By examining a range of literary and cultural texts, I trace new connections between those who are living with trauma, chronic illness, and pathologized desire, and develop a language for imagining new forms of community and care, which I call “hysterical intimacies.” Each chapter builds on my sick theories approach, outlined in Chapter One, to analyze a different sick girl. Chapter Two looks at Jesmyn Ward’s novel Salvage the Bones to challenge the state’s narrative that the pregnant Black teen is part of an epidemic and reveal new dimensions of state sponsored anti-Black violence.

For information on his upcoming title, FILTHY ANIMALS, publishing June 22, 2021, turn to page 24 of this guide* A searing novel in ten parts, REAL LIFE excavates the social intricacies of a summer weekend on one level, and a lifetime of buried pain, on another. Taylor touches both seductively and scathingly on love’s proximal relationship to violence (and the inherently complex sexual politics of that proximity), the unknowability of another’s grief, the indefatigable human desire for connection, and the microaggressions attendant to racism, homophobia, and additional kinds of othering. Brandon Taylor is the associate editor of Electric Literature's Recommended Reading and a staff writer at Literary Hub. His writing has received fellowships from Lambda Literary, Kimbilio Fiction, and the Tin House Summer Writer's workshop. His stories and essays have appeared at Literary Hub, Catapult, Them.com, Gulf Coast, Little Fiction, Amazon's Day One, Out Magazine online, Necessary Fiction, Joyland, Vol.

We offer Professional Development Hours to New Jersey Educators. Keynote Speaker: Porochista Khakpour “Khakpour brings her characters vividly to life; their flaws and feints at intimacy feel poignantly real, and their journeys generate real suspense.” — The New York Times “Khakpour expertly captures the culture clash between generations of immigrant families as well as the questions about identity and home that are common themes in immigrant novels. She brings a fresh perspective and style to the genre, exploring themes of escape and being lost and found.” —The Chicago Tribune Porochista Khakpour’s debut novel, Sons and Other Flammable Objects, was named a New York Times Editor’s Choice, one of the Chicago Tribune’s Fall’s Best and the 2007 California Book Award winner in the First Fiction category.
