Book Description
The Recalcitrant Stuff of Life is a story of searching - for friends, for forgiveness, for truth. A detailing of friendship dragged through the Amazon jungle and spit out through the stars with the aid of decades, DMT, and well-meaning debauchery. Roosevelt "Rosy" Robinson is a broken man living a purgatory existence in Peru. Two of his oldest friends from Canada-Stanley "The Deuce" Doucette and Ishmael "Ishy" Lords-have pressing news to deliver. Never have two individuals been so ill-equipped to navigate the "Gringo Trail," but this is precisely what they must do to track down Rosy in one of the most inaccessible places on the planet. Ambitious, gritty, and raucously entertaining, Sean McCallum's debut novel takes readers from Toronto and New York to Lima, then across the Andes, down the Amazon River, and into darkness. Bristling with tragedy, regret, and a little ayahuasca, The Recalcitrant Stuff of Life screams into the void with electric urgency, reveling in what it means to be alive. This book grabs readers by the wrist and leads them headlong into an authentically raw examination of love and friendship. It's a moving tale of the places we go to seek forgiveness.

Book Description
One of Newsweek’s Best Books of the Year and winner of the Robert Kirsch Award for Lifetime Achievement. A cornerstone of the scriptural canon, the Book of Psalms has been a source of solace and joy for countless readers over millennia. This timeless poetry is beautifully wrought by a scholar whose translation of the Five Books of Moses was hailed as a “godsend” by Seamus Heaney and a “masterpiece” by Robert Fagles. Alter’s The Book of Psalms captures the simplicity, the physicality, and the coiled rhythmic power of the Hebrew, restoring the remarkable eloquence of these ancient poems. His learned and insightful commentary illuminates the obscurities of the text.

Will he realize too late that his worst enemy is part of his own inner circle?
