Night People: how to be a DJ in '90s NYC by Mark RonsonRonson conjures the undeniable magic of the city's bygone nightlife-a time when clubs were diverse, glamorous, and a little lawless, and each night brought a heady mix of music, ambition, danger, delight, and possibility. It's about the beauty of what you can create with just two Technics and a mixer, in a golden era before Giuliani, camera phones, and bottle service upended everything. Organized around the venues that defined his experience of the downtown scene, Ronson evokes the specific rush of that decade and those spaces where fashion folks and rappers on the rise danced alongside club kids and 9-to-5'ers. A heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Night People is the definitive account of '90s New York nightlife and the making of a musical mastermind. Publication date September 16th |

One day in geometry class, Nicholas suddenly realizes that his hands are objects. The doctor says it's just panic, but Nicholas suspects that his real problem might not be a psychiatric one: maybe the pagan god Pan is trapped inside his body. As his paradigm for his own consciousness crumbles, Nicholas, his best friend Ty, and his girlfriend Sarah hunt for answers why. Funny, provocative, and cerebral, PAN is a new masterpiece of the coming-of-age genre.

Girl on Girl: how pop culture turned a generation of women against themselves by Sophie GilbertA blazing critique of how early-aughts pop culture turned women and girls against each other and themselves with disastrous consequences. What happened to feminism in the 21st century? This question feels increasingly urgent after a period of reactionary cultural and legislative backlash, when widespread uncertainty about the movement's power, focus, and currency threatens decades of progress. Gilbert provides one answer, identifying an inflection point in the late 1990s and early 2000s when the energy of third-wave and "riot girrrl" feminism collapsed into a regressive period of hyper-objectification, sexualization, and infantilization. She mines the darker side of nostalgia, across music, film, television, fashion, tabloid journalism, and more. Girl on Girl is a blistering indictment of the matrix of misogyny that undergirded the cultural production of the early twenty-first century, and how it continues to shape our world today.

The Place of Tides by James RebanksOne afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. Hers was a centuries-old trade that had once made men and women rich, but had long been in decline. Back at home, Rebanks couldn't stop thinking about the woman on the rocks, years passed. Then he wrote her a letter, asking if he could return. Bring work clothes, she replied, and good boots, and come quickly: her health was failing. And so he travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her last season on the island. This is the story of that season. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work, to the elation of the endless summer light, when the birds leave behind their precious down for the woman to gather. As the weeks pass, what began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness. On order now! |
