Book Description
A Recommended Read from: Entertainment Weekly * Buzzfeed * Good Morning America * USA Today * Harper's Bazaar * Fortune * A.V. Club * The Millions * Lit Hub * International Examiner * Publishers Weekly When her husband suddenly disappears, a young woman must uncover where he went—and who she might be without him—in this striking debut of immigration, identity, and marriage. After another taxing day as the sole female employee at her New York City tech startup, Edwina comes home to find that her husband, Marlin, has packed up a suitcase and left. The only question now is why. Did he give up on their increasingly hopeless quest to secure their green cards and decide to return to Malaysia? Was it the death of his father that sent him into a tailspin? Or has his strange, sudden change in personality finally made Marlin and Edwina strangers to each other? As Edwina searches the city for traces of her husband, she simultaneously sifts through memories of their relationship, hoping to discover the moment when something went wrong. All the while, a coworker is making increasingly uncomfortable advances toward her. And she can’t hide the truth about Marlin’s disappearance from her overbearing, eccentric mother for much longer. Soon Edwina will have to decide how much she is willing to sacrifice in order to stay in her marriage and in America. Poignant and darkly funny, Edge Case is a searing meditation on intimacy, estrangement, and the fractured nature of identity. In this moving debut, YZ Chin explores the imperfect yet enduring relationships we hold to country and family. “Chin’s specificity and wonderfully drawn minor characters add depth and richness…. Not only a subtly provocative depiction of the tech industry, and this country, as tilting ever more off-kilter; but also a realistic portrayal of a woman in crisis.” —Lauren Oyler, The New York Times Book Review

Then he discovers he can speak it as well! It's a nightmare for a cat who'd prefer to sleep the day away carefree, but Joe can handle it. That is, until he has the misfortune to witness a murder in the alley behind Jolly's Deli -- and worse, to be seen witnessing it.

Book Description
This book uses the satirical form to skewer a multiplicity of targets ranging from American foreign policy in the Middle East to self-improvement hucksterism. Specifically, the book is divided into four parts that contain 33 exceptionally brilliant essays. Please note that reading these essays may cause your mind to expand and your nervous system to register feelings of enjoyment. However, do not be alarmed if you experience these effects. They are rarely long lasting and real life is the perfect antidote. The Levinson Report proves that imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein, scientist It’s a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury signifying nothing. Just kidding. William Shakespeare, writer I love this book. Lot of great insight and plenty of yucks. Mission accomplished, Marty! George W. Bush, moron I vant to be alone, with The Levinson Report. It’s fantastic! Greta Garbo, actress This book made my day. Clint Eastwood, actor I laughed so hard I almost plotzed. To tell you the truth I did plotz. Don’t let on to the Arab street. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, lunatic dictator This book is better than steroids, whatever they are. Barry Bonds, baseball player The Levinson Report: one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. Neil Armstrong, astronaut Martin H. Levinson brings over 40 years of experience to his role of chronicler of the human comedy. A prolific writer and an astute observer of featherless bipeds, he believes times like these demand satire.

Book Description
What do they all mean – the lascivious ape, autophagic dragons, pot-bellied heads, harp-playing asses, arse-kissing priests and somersaulting jongleurs to be found protruding from the edges of medieval buildings and in the margins of illuminated manuscripts? Michael Camille explores that riotous realm of marginal art, so often explained away as mere decoration or zany doodles, where resistance to social constraints flourished. Medieval image-makers focused attention on the underside of society, the excluded and the ejected. Peasants, servants, prostitutes and beggars all found their place, along with knights and clerics, engaged in impudent antics in the margins of prayer-books or, as gargoyles, on the outsides of churches. Camille brings us to an understanding of how marginality functioned in medieval culture and shows us just how scandalous, subversive, and amazing the art of the time could be.
