Reading Guide This Beautiful Life
Reading Guide This Beautiful Life By Helen Schulman ISBN: 9780062092687 Introduction This Beautiful Life is a devastating exploration of the blurring boundaries of privacy and the fragility of self, a clear-eyed portrait of modern life that will have readers debating their assumptions about family, morality, and the sacrifices and choices we make in the name of love. When the Bergamots move from a comfortable upstate college town to New York City, they're not quite sure how they'll adapt'or what to make of the strange new world of well- to-do Manhattan. Soon, though, Richard is consumed by his executive role at a large New York university, and Liz, who has traded in her academic career to oversee the lives of their children, is hectically ferrying young Coco around town. Fifteen-year-old Jake is gratefully taken into the fold by a group of friends at Wildwood, an elite private school. But the upper-class cocoon in which they have enveloped themselves is ripped apart when Jake wakes up one morning after an un- chaperoned party and finds an email in his in-box from an eighth-grade admirer. Attached is a sexually explicit video she has made for him. Shocked, stunned, maybe a little proud, and scared'a jumble of adolescent emotion'he forwards the video to a friend, who then forwards it to a friend. Within hours, it's gone viral, all over the school, the city, the world. The ensuing scandal threatens to shatter the Bergamots' sense of security and identity, and, ultimately, their happiness.

About the Author Meet Helen Schulman a Conversation With
About the author Meet Helen Schulman A Conversation with Helen Schulman About the book The Story Behind the Book Read on Author’s Picks Meet Helen Schulman Helen Schulman is the author of the novels A Day at the Beach, P.S., The Revisionist, and Out of Time, and the short story collection Not a Free Show. Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Vanity Fair, Time, Vogue, GQ, the Paris Review, and the New York Times Book Review. She is an associate professor of writing at The New School in New York City, where she lives with her husband and two children. A Conversation with Helen Schulman © The Paris Review. This interview originally appeared in The Paris Review Daily, August 9, 2011. By Brian Gresko Novelist Helen Schulman doesn’t shy away from controversial subjects. Her last novel, A Day at the Beach, examined a marriage that falls apart hour by agonizing hour over the course of September 11. Her latest, This Beautiful Life, follows the Bergamot family. They seem a picture of success: Richard a high-powered if overly-committed university man, Liz the stay-at-home mom, Jake a high school student on the road to college, and Coco, their adopted daughter of seven. When Jake finds himself the recipient of an erotic video made by a thirteen-year-old with a crush, Daisy, he forwards it to his friends. The video goes viral, the story becomes tabloid fodder, and the repercussions undo his life and bring the fissures in Richard and Liz’s relationship to light.

Counterpoint | Soft Skull | Pharos
20TH ANNIVERSARY COUNTERPOINT SOFT SKULL PHAROS fall 2015 Counterpoint taking note of this twentieth anniversary may be akin to singing “Happy Birthday” to oneself, an odd indulgence. But it does provide the occasion to acknowledge that Counterpoint simply would not exist without the steadfast generosity and support of its authors. In this auspicious season, it is with gratitude that we look across our shelves to recall the women and men who’ve entrusted us with their life’s work and without whom we would have vanished into the mists of a vague idea poorly managed. It is also a great pleasure to recall the dozens of colleagues who’ve spent parts of their professional lives making this dream of an author-driven independent publishing house possible. These are challenging and difficult times for booksellers and publishers, but the privilege is all ours as we realize the truth of our daily lives—finding and publishing the work of wonderful writers for our remarkable readers. — Jack Shoemaker, Editorial Director Charlie Winton, President and CEO Rolph Blythe, Publisher Jack Shoemaker, Editorial Director Dan Smetanka, Executive Editor Megan Fishmann, Publicity Director Kelli Adams, Business Manager Kelly Winton, Design Manager and Senior Production Coordinator Corinne Kalasky, Marketing Coordinator Deborah Kenmore, Inventory Coordinator Claire Shalinsky, Publicist Sharon Wu, Publicist Matthew Hoover, Production Editor Joseph Goodale, Administrative Assistant Judy Klein, Foreign Rights Representative COUNTERPOINT The Prize A Novel JILL BIALOSKY Edward Darby has everything a man could hope for: meaningful work, MARKETING a loving wife, and a beloved daughter.

In Europe and America, the organization, financing, distribution, and expectation of profit of the industry, that is, its entire structure, is different than it was ten years ago.
