So starts Alice Isn’t Dead. \n  \nKeisha Taylor lived a quiet life with her wife\, Alice\, until the day that Alice disappeared. After months of searching\, presuming she was dead\, Keisha held a funeral\, mourned\, and gradually tried to get on with her life. But that was before Keisha started to see her wife\, again and again\, in the background of news reports from all over America. Alice isnt dead\, and she is showing up at every major tragedy and accident in the country. \n  \nFollowing a line of clues\, Keisha takes a job as a long-haul truck driver\, and begins searching for Alice. In her search for her missing wife\, she will stumble on a forgotten American history of secret deals and buried crimes\, an inhuman serial killer who has picked her as his next target\, and an otherworldly conflict being waged in the quiet corners of our nations highway system — uncovering a conspiracy that goes way beyond one missing woman. \n  \nAlice Isn’t Dead expands the story told in the hit podcast of the same name\, which has had over 6 million downloads in its first 10-episode season\, and is one of the most downloaded fiction podcasts of all time. Its also being made into a TV series — Mr. Robot executive producer Kyle Bradstreet has been tapped to write and executive produce a TV adaptation of Alice Isnt Dead\, along with Fink.

SUMMARY:Celebrating the life and work of Lucia Berlin
DESCRIPTION:with David Berlin\, Lydia Kiesling\, Rachel Khong\, Jim Nisbet\, and Robin Sloan \ncelebrating the release of two new books: \nWelcome Home: A Memoir with Selected Photographs and Letters \nand \nEvening in Paradise: More Stories \nboth published by Farrar\, Straus and Giroux \nabout Welcome Home: \n\n\n\nA compilation of sketches\, photographs\, and letters\, Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to the stories by Lucia Berlin \nBefore Lucia Berlin died\, she was working on a book of previously unpublished autobiographical sketches called Welcome Home. The work consisted of more than twenty chapters that started in 1936 in Alaska and ended (prematurely) in 1966 in southern Mexico. In our publication of Welcome Home\, her son Jeff Berlin is filling in the gaps with photos and letters from her eventful\, romantic\, and tragic life. \nFrom Alaska to Argentina\, Kentucky to Mexico\, New York City to Chile\, Berlin’s world was wide. And the writing here is\, as we’ve come to expect\, dazzling. She describes the places she lived and the people she knew with all the style and wit and heart and humor that readers fell in love with in her stories. Combined with letters from and photos of friends and lovers\, Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to A Manual for Cleaning Women and Evening in Paradise. \nabout Evening in Paradise: \n\n\n\nA collection of previously uncompiled stories from the short-story master and literary sensation Lucia Berlin \nIn 2015\, FSG published A Manual for Cleaning Women\, a posthumous story collection by a relatively unknown writer\, to wild\, widespread acclaim. It was a New York Times bestseller; the paper’s Book Review named it one of the Ten Best Books of 2015; and NPR\, Time\, Entertainment Weekly\, The Guardian\, The Washington Post\, the Chicago Tribune\, and other outlets gave the book rave reviews. \nEvening in Paradise is a careful selection from the remaining Berlin stories—a jewel box follow-up for Lucia Berlin’s hungry fans. \nLucia Berlin (1936–2004) worked brilliantly but sporadically throughout the 1960s\, 1970s\, and 1980s. Her stories are inspired by her early childhood in various Western mining towns; her glamorous teenage years in Santiago\, Chile; three failed marriages; a lifelong problem with alcoholism; her years spent in Berkeley\, New Mexico\, and Mexico City; and the various jobs she held to support her writing and her four sons. Sober and writing steadily by the 1990s\, she took a visiting writer’s post at the University of Colorado in Boulder in 1994 and was soon promoted to associate professor. In 2001\, in failing health\, she moved to Southern California to be near her sons. She died in 2004 in Marina del Rey. \nvisit: http://luciaberlin.com/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
