SUMMARY:Sam Bercholz
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard the stories of someone who has had a near-death experience. They’ve gone toward that white light\, seen a vision of heaven\, and have lived to tell the tale. But what about someone who took a journey in the opposite direction\, not to the heavenly realms\, but to the terrifying depths of hell? \nHere\, Sam Bercholz\, the visionary founder of Shambhala Publications and influential figure in disseminating Buddhist teachings and Eastern wisdom in the West\, tells his story. After a sextuple coronary bypass surgery\, Bercholz experienced a vision of the underworld\, a place of unending suffering where human souls go to meet their karmic retribution. We see tyrants and mass-murderers\, the selfish and careless\, the abusive and power-hungry—all who once thought they were getting ahead on earth now faced with the hard truths of the consequences of their actions in this fiery realm. \nBercholz relayed his story to the renowned Tibetan artist Pema Namdol Thaye\, and the result—as you’ll see in the pages here—is truly astounding. Part Dante’s Inferno\, part Tibetan Book of the Dead\, part Hellboy\, the images graphically transport the reader and viewer into the horrifying world Bercholz describes. These paintings are complex\, unforgettable\, and truly unique\, and several prestigious art institutions have already signed for special exhibitions of this work. \nThe book has already been optioned for film by Stuart MacDonald of Emerald Entertainment\, and tickets for a New York City event at The Rubin Museum\, featuring the author in conversation with the actor Steve Buscemi\, sold out within weeks of going on sale. Praise has been received from writer George Saunders (“A dark thrill to read.”)\, author and activist Matthieu Ricard (“A fascinating and deeply thought-provoking testimony\, powerfully illustrated.”) and Tibetan art expert Robert Beer (“A courageous and subjective account.”).

SUMMARY:Meredith Maran
DESCRIPTION:After the death of her best friend\, the loss of her life’s savings\, and the collapse of her once-happy marriage\, Meredith Maran—whom Anne Lamott calls “insightful\, funny\, and human”—leaves her San Francisco freelance writer’s life for a 9-to-5 job in Los Angeles. Determined to rebuild not only her savings but herself while relishing the joys of life in La-La land\, Maran writes The New Old Me\, “a poignant story\, a funny story\, a moving story\, and above all an American story of what it means to be a woman of a certain age in our time” (Christina Baker Kline\, number-one New York Times–bestselling author of Orphan Train). \n“High time we had a book that celebrates becoming an elder! Meredith Maran writes of the difficulties of loss and change and aging\, but makes it clear that getting on can be more interesting\, more fun\, and a lot more exciting than youth.” — Abigail Thomas\, author of the New York Times bestseller What Comes Next and How to Like It\n“The New Old Me is a book I don’t just want to read – I need to read it. So does everyone else who’s getting older and wants to live fully\, with immediacy and enjoyment\, which is to say\, everyone.” — Anne Lamott\, author of the New York Times bestsellers Bird by Bird and Some Assembly Required\n“Meredith Maran is my new role model for getting older without getting old.” — Kate Christensen\, author of the PEN/Faulkner award winner The Great Man \nMeredith Maran is the author of fourteen books\, including The New Old Me\, Why We Write About Ourselves\, Why We Write\, My Lie\, and A Theory of Small Earthquakes. She’s a book critic and essayist for newspapers and magazines including the Los Angeles Times\, the Boston Globe\, the Chicago Tribune\, The Los Angeles Review of Books\, and Salon.com. The recipient of fellowships from the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo\, and a member of the National Book Critics Circle\, Meredith lives in a restored historic bungalow in Los Angeles.
