MOVIES 3:00 PM PDT 10/7/2019 by Courtesy of Film A treat for anyone who appreciates the printed word. D. W. Young's documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, delivers a behind-the-scenes look at the New York rare book world. Bibliophiles are likely to be increasingly depressed these days, thanks to the rise of ebooks and the continuing demise of bookstores. D. Young's documentary The Booksellers, receiving its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, should provide something of a balm to those beleaguered souls. Providing a behind-the-scenes look at the world of rare book dealers but also digressing into topics revolving around the printed word in general, the film will be enjoyed by anyone who's ever happily spent hours wandering through bookstores with no specific goal in mind. "The world is divided between people who collect things, and people who don't know what the hell these people are doing collecting things. observes one of the doc's subjects. Needless to say, the film very much concentrates on the former, especially those who attend the annual Antiquarian Book Fair at New York City's Park Avenue Armory, a mecca for rare book collectors. Ironically, as if to underscore the archaic products being exhibited, the armory is a virtual antique itself, dating back to the late 19th century and featuring a giant clock that no longer works. Among the dealers who exhibit there are Dave Bergman, who specializes in giant-sized books and whose apartment is packed to the gills with his inventory. "Every time I buy another book, I have to rearrange the entire place. he says sardonically. We learn that in the 1950s there were 358 bookstores in New York City and that now there are only 79 remaining (it's actually surprising there are still that many. Among the notable used and rare bookstores that have survived are The Strand, opened in 1929 and now the only one left of what used to be dozens of such establishments on 4th Avenue, once dubbed "Book Row. There's also the Argosy Book Store on E. 59th Street, established in 1925 and currently run by the three daughters of the original owner. Tellingly, both of these are family businesses, and their longevity can be ascribed to the fact that the families own the buildings in which their stores are located. The doc fascinatingly delves into the history of book collecting, spotlighting such pioneering figures as legendary British dealer A. S. Rosenbach, whose nickname was "The Napoleon of Books. and researchers Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, who uncovered Louisa May Alcott's pseudonym of A. M. Bernard, which the author of Little Women used when writing pulp romance fiction. Author Fran Lebowitz offers plenty of amusing commentary throughout the film. "You know what they used to call independent bookstores? Bookstores. she jokes, adding, They were all independent. Novelist Susan Orlean weighs in as well, talking about having sold her archives to Columbia University and worrying that in the age of computers, researchers will no longer have the opportunity to explore writers' creative processes. Several of the interview subjects point out that while the internet is great for collectors, who can find anything they want with just a few keystrokes, it's been terrible for booksellers. The very word "Kindle" sends shudders up booksellers' spines, although not all of them are ready to write off the printed word just yet. "I think the death of the book is highly overrated. one dealer comments. The doc includes amusing profiles of several of the more eccentric collectors, including one dealer who handles books bound in human skin and founder Jay Walker, who has a massive library in his home dedicated to the "human imagination" and inspired by M. C. Escher. The Booksellers tends to be a bit too digressive at times, lapsing into many tangents that are never uninteresting but tend to cause it to lose focus. Nonetheless, the film provides an evocative portrait of a way of life that is hopefully not completely vanishing anytime soon. Production company: Blackletter Films Director-editor: D.

A provocative and hauntingly powerful debut novel reminiscent of Sliding Doors, The Bookseller follows a woman in the 1960s who must reconcile her reality with the tantalizing alternate world of her dreams. Nothing is as permanent as it appears. Denver, 1962: Kitty Miller has come to terms with her unconventional single life. She loves the bookshop she runs with her best friend, Frieda, and enjoys complete control over her day-to-day existence. She can come and go as she pleases, answering to no one. There was a man once, a doctor named Kevin, but it didnt quite work out the way Kitty had hoped. Then the dreams begin. Denver, 1963: Katharyn Andersson is married to Lars, the love of her life. They have beautiful children, an elegant home, and good friends. Its everything Kitty Miller once believed she wanted—but it only exists when she sleeps. Convinced that these dreams are simply due to her overactive imagination, Kitty enjoys her nighttime forays into this alternate world. But with each visit, the more irresistibly real Katharyns life becomes. Can she choose which life she wants? If so, what is the cost of staying Kitty, or becoming Katharyn? As the lines between her worlds begin to blur, Kitty must figure out what is real and what is imagined. And how do we know where that boundary lies in our own lives.

Q&A with D. W. Young and producers Judith Mizrachy and Dan Wechsler on Oct. 13 What once seemed like an esoteric world now seems essential to our culture: the community of rare book dealers and collectors who, in their love of the delicacy and tactility of books, are helping to keep the printed word alive. D. Youngs elegant and entertaining documentary, executive produced by Parker Posey, is a lively tour of New Yorks book world, past and present, from the Park Avenue Armorys annual Antiquarian Book Fair, where original editions can fetch hundreds of thousands of dollars; to the Strand and Argosy book stores, still standing against all odds; to the beautifully crammed apartments of collectors and buyers. The film features a litany of special guests, including Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Gay Talese, and a community of dedicated book dealers who strongly believe in the wonder of the object and the everlasting importance of whats inside.

This part two of our year-end series wherein we ask booksellers to tell us about the highlights of their year in reading. Head over here to read part one. * Justin Walls, Powells Books at Cedar Hills Crossing The noise pollution has got to stop. Sure, a certain amount of noise is necessary, without question. Righteous calls for equality, justice, and compassion in opposition to the adenoidal drone of ruling class bloodsuckers is a net positive. On the other hand, theres the sustained racket (a key word here) produced by, say, the corporate publishing sphere, a many-headed monstrosity seemingly motivated by little more than—and I do hope youre sitting down—craven self-interest. It gives me no pleasure to report that the Big Five remain enamored with platforming the preening weasels and jettisoned toadies of a grift-rich plutocracy, that is, when they arent too busy genuflecting before an all-encompassing moral failure masquerading as an online shopping hub. Perhaps this particular strain of monotonous dreck could stand to be dialed down a skosh, is all Im saying. In a dubious effort to reduce some of that clang and clatter over the span of 2019, I took the liberty of installing what is among the boggiest of bog standard programs at my bookstore: a book of the month. The “Pick Du Mois, ” a translation-focused and independent-minded reading series, launched this past January with a few provisos attached. As conceived, the Du Mois would serve as a sort of supercharged staff pick, aiming to highlight a dozen unique publishers, translators, and countries of origin over a single calendar year—recent publications only, no repeats in any category. A form of, if not exactly slow bookselling, slower bookselling, at least. The overall intent was to narrow the aperture while also avoiding tunnel vision, forcing tough calls, and creating the need for strategic foresight. For instance, the Argentina Problem: the Du Mois selection for March was Andrea Labingers translation of Guillermo Saccomannos 77 (Open Letter) an astonishing and occult-tinged novel of Argentinas Dirty War. Well-deserved, but that took powerhouse Argentina off the board for the remaining balance of the year, which meant that there was no room for Maria Gainzas kaleidoscopic Optic Nerve (Catapult) translated by Thomas Bunstead. It meant sacrificing the knotty erudition of Pola Oloixaracs Dark Constellations (Soho Press) translated by Roy Kesey. It meant bidding adieu to Selva Almadas The Wind That Lays Waste (Graywolf Press) translated by Chris Andrews, and Ariana Harwiczs Die, My Love (Charco Press) translated by Sara Moses and Carolina Orloff. Those are all eminently Du Mois-worthy works but, while I understood that redeeming the Argentina token so early in the game was likely to cause heartache, 77 was just the book for its moment. A surplus of exemplary titles which, for whatever reason, got squeezed out of canonical inclusion were always at the ready. From the bubblegum weirdness of Dorota Masłowskas Honey, I Killed the Cat s (Deep Vellum) translated by Benjamin Paloff, to the haunted trajectories of Ananda Devis The Living Days (Feminist Press) translated by Jeffrey Zuckerman, to the strychnine-spiked tres leches cake that is Lina Wolffs The Polyglot Lovers (And Other Stories) translated by Saskia Vogel, I was consistently spoiled for choice. An envious position to be in, though this only made the standard for recognition more rigorous, the respective merits of each book falling under even greater scrutiny, as the year went on. So, what constitutes a Du Mois designation? Theres no hard and fast criteria, indebted as the entire venture is to the whims of taste, though trepidation seems to play an integral role. If a book causes me to flinch, either because it may be too demanding, like Daša Drndićs EEG (New Directions) translated by Celia Hawkesworth, or too explicit, like Bjørn Rasmussens The Skin Is the Elastic Covering That Encases the Entire Body (Two Lines Press) translated by Martin Aitken, or too overwhelmingly offensive, like Benedek Totths Dead Heat (Biblioasis) translated by Ildikó Noémi Nagy, then thats a fairly good indication Im on the right track. When Rita Indianas genre-busting Tentacle (And Other Stories) translated by Achy Obejas, made me squirm with unease, I knew I couldnt pass it up. Ma Jians China Dream (Counterpoint Press) translated by Flora Drew, was a thrilling collision of sense and memory, sex and politics, that lodged itself permanently into my brain. Then theres Jean-Baptiste Del Amos incongruous Animalia (Grove Press) translated by Frank Wynne, a book that solidified its spot through a bracing blend of the unpalatable and the divine. A modicum of discomfort should be a baseline where literature worth fighting for is concerned, after all. Article continues after advertisement Admittedly, a couple snags were hit along the way. There was the case of the Du Mois selection for July, T Fleischmanns Time Is the Thing a Body Moves Thr ough (Coffee House Press) a multi-discipline inferno of ideas written in the English language. Obviously, selecting an untranslated work would dash any prospect I had of attaining the coveted “Triple Dozen. ” (Again, thats twelve publishers, translators, and countries of origin. No overlap allowed. Nevertheless, I was compelled to break protocol. Faith in the process, and a little ass-saving serendipity, ultimately remedied this issue when I found what would eventually become the September selection, Juan José Milláss wonderfully odd From the Shadows (Bellevue Literary Press) which sports the combined translation efforts of Thomas Bunstead (who, keep in mind, would have rendered this selection null and void had the aforementioned Optic Nerve made the cut earlier in the cycle) and Daniel Hahn. Two-for-one. Yes, thats allowed. I havent even mentioned the existence of the “Double Du Mois, ” a break-in-case-of-emergency bylaw which has yet to be utilized. Theres also the option of appointing an “Interim Du Mois, ” as needed. If all this sounds somewhat arbitrary, thats because it is. An obtuse set of mutable strictures governed by the insular logic of a single persnickety bookseller? Granted, a righteous call to action this aint. Instead, the Pick Du Mois is bookselling-as-Calvinball and right now that too feels like a necessary noise. The full 2019 Picks Du Mois: January: The Naked Woman by Armonía Somers (Uruguay) translated by Kit Maude and published by the Feminist Press February: Tentacle by Rita Indiana (Dominican Republic) translated by Achy Obejas and published by And Other Stories March: 77 by Guillermo Saccomanno (Argentina) translated by Andrea Labinger and published by Open Letter April: Good Will Come From the Sea by Christos Ikonomou (Greece) translated by Karen Emmerich and published by Archipelago May: EEG by Daša Drndić (Croatia) translated by Celia Hawkesworth and published by New Directions June: China Dream by Ma Jian (China) translated by Flora Drew and published by Counterpoint Press July: Time Is the Thing a Body Moves Through by T Fleischmann (USA) published by Coffee House Press August: The Skin is the Elastic Covering That Encases the Entire Body by Bjørn Rasmussen (Denmark) translated by Martin Aitken and published by Two Lines Press September: From the Shadows by Juan José Millás (Spain) translated by Thomas Bunstead and Daniel Hahn, published by Bellevue Literary Press October: Animalia by Jean-Baptiste Del Amo (France) translated by Frank Wynne and published by Grove Press November: Will and Testament by Vigdis Hjorth (Norway) translated by Charlotte Barslund and published by Verso Fiction December: Dead Heat by Benedek Totth (Hungary) translated by Ildikó Noémi Nagy and published by Biblioasis Justin Walls is a bookseller with Powells Books of Portland, Oregon and a member of the 2020 Best Translated Book Award jury. Find him on Twitter @jaawlfins. Lucy Kogler, Talking Leaves Books 2019 started as every year since I can remember started—by reading Emily Dickinson. I randomly open to a poem and continue in the volume from that place. Poetry is, as Robert Duncan wrote, “groundwork, ” essential to the promise of my having a good new year. Once this ritual is completed, I can read other things. Most likely the first book read was by Nathan Englander. As always, wonderfully ironic, intensely subtle (oxymoron. funny and brutally intelligent. He is one of our best writers. Or the first book could have been The Parisian by Isabella Hammad, from whom I am patiently waiting for the sequel to this fascinating historical novel. Following Englander and Hammad was The Heavens by Sandra Newman: fascinating and disturbing—while fantasy—I think that many experience the dissociative drive that augments and/or supplants the life one is living. From this point what was read when becomes conjecture. Floating Coast by Bathsheba Demuth and Underland by Robert McFarlane devastated and educated—each taking my breath away for disparate reasons. At the Center of All Beauty: Solitude and the Creative Life by Fenton Johnson (not yet published) lead me to reread Walden by Thoreau. Forty years or so after having first read it, I found it funnier than I remembered. So many of his most quoted lines were toss-offs. The fact of his racist commitment to the ideology of his time was something I had not remembered as being so stark. The Crying Book by Heather Christle—creative and intelligent, made me feel less of a blubbering mess of a person. Solitary by Albert Woodfox devastated and enlightened in a most humane way. A journey I will never experience, but one that made me even more aware of just how fucked-up and racist our penal system is. Layli Long Soldiers Whereas led me back to Reinventing the Enemys Language, ed. by Joy Harjo and Gloria Bird, a wonderful anthology of Native American Womens Writing published in 1998. Dead Mans Float by Jim Harrison because his work is a staple of my reading. Colson Whiteheads The Nickel Boys, Knitting the Fog by Claudia D. Hernandez and John Freemans Dictionary of the Undoing. I have been carrying around the galley for the just published Black Mountain Poems: An Anthology edited by Jonathan C. Creasy for a while. Reading these poems is like a stroll down memory lane. I was lucky to have known or seen read many of the poets. Should there have been more Denise Levertov, Hilda Morley and Joel Oppenheimer? Well, its just one womans opinion. Finally, Our House is on Fire: Greta Thurnbergs Call to Save the Planet by the inimitable Jeanette Winter. Childrens picture books are an essential part of what I read. No other format combines often beautiful art with a concise narrative in the way that a picture book does. I believe them to be the first line in politicizing children: visually educating them at the same time as exposing them to stories from everywhere. Lucy Kogler is a bookseller at Talking Leaves Books in Buffalo, NY. Matt Keliher, Subtext Bookstore It was an enjoyable and productive reading year for me, and my list reflects an effort to be more balanced in my reading choices. I found my way to books of poetry that were moving and inspiring, books of nonfiction that challenged me to rethink my cultural presuppositions, and novels that expanded and enriched my worldview. Morgan Parkers Magical Negro was a favorite poetry collection this year. She has a poem in this collection titled “Matt” that definitely is not written about me but it felt like it was written at me, and I loved it. Jericho Browns The Tradition was a collection that challenged me as a reader of poems, and his Duplex series is nothing short of incredible. I listened on, a digital audiobook program that supports independent bookstores, to Hanif Abdurraqibs A Fortune for Your Disaster and it was cool because listening to poets read their own words is sublime and this was like going to one of his readings except the audiobook didnt have an answer to my question about his thoughts on Andrew Wiggins howling resurgence. Speaking of books by Hanif Abdurraqib, I also read his Go Ahead in the Rain: Notes to a Tribe Called Quest, which was a spectacular ode to a band, and a favorite book of the year me and Hanif is one of my favorite writers working today. Staying with nonfiction, there were three books that I read in quick succession that all seemed to play with each other very nicely in my mind. They were Michael Pollans How to Change Your Mind, Jenny Odells How to Do Nothing, and Jia Tolentinos Trick Mirror. All three represented new and thought-provoking cultural challenges that I enjoyed grappling with. Ibram X. Kendis How to Be An Anti-Racist was the book that I learned the most from, and it is in my opinion absolutely necessary that everyone read this book. The book that moved me most this year was Naja Marie Aidts When Death Takes Something From You Give it Back, translated by Denise Newman. If you need a good cry, or, perhaps, more importantly, need help making meaning out of crushing grief, this is the book Id put in your hand. And a final, fun nonfiction book I read this year was a local history called Closing Time by Bill Lindeke and Andy Sturdevant that collects the stories and mysteries of some of the Twin Cities oldest pubs; a great whiskey-and-a-read-before-bed book. My favorite novel of the year was without question Valeria Luisellis Lost Children Archive and I felt personally wronged that it did not get the award attention I thought it deserved. It begins with an honest and beautiful portrayal of a family that involves a child farting, which we need more of in literary fiction, and ends with this 20-page breathless sentence, all the while depicting our world with intense accuracy. Its just brilliant. Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellman was the book I spent the most time with this year, and for good reason. Clocking in at around a 1, 000 pages and only a single sentence, this was probably one of the most challenging and rewarding and downright incredible reading experiences I have ever had, and I dont think I would be the only bookseller to tell you that this is a book that will be talked about for a very long time. Indescribable and wonderful. Johannes Anyurus They Will Drown in Their Mothers Tears, translated by Saskia Vogel, reminded of a previous book I loved, Omar El-Akkads American War, in that he portrayed the interiority of someone making the conscious decision to undertake an act of terrorism and did so with such talent and empathy and gripping action. I loved it. Other novels I read and loved this year: Optic Nerve by Maria Gainza, translated by Thomas Bunstead, Space Invaders by Nona Fernandez, translated by Natasha Wimmer, The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Reinhardts Garden by Mark Haber, Tell Them of Battles, Kings and Elephants by Mathias Enard, translated by Charlotte Mandell. And finally, two books that fit outside these standard parameters: I read, and loved, the Watchmen graphic novel because that show is incredible and having read the novel enriched watching the show in every single way. I cannot recommend this enough: if you like the show, read the book! And a childrens book that I loved and gave to my niece and nephews this year is A Map Into the World by Kao Kalia Yang. Matt Keliher is the manager and book buyer at Subtext Bookstore in St. Paul Minnesota where he has worked for the past six years. He can be found on Twitter @MAKeliher. Christopher Phipps, City Lights This year, one of my favorite writers died. Gene Wolfe passed away in April of 2019. He was 87, so some part of me was not surprised. But I still wasnt ready for it. In fact, I was traveling and missed the news until a few weeks later. I remember clearly the pang of sadness, sharp and brief like a needle drawn through a piece of cloth. I never met Mr. Wolfe at a reading or signing, never sent him a letter to tell him how much his books have meant to me (something I now regret) but through his books I felt that special connection readers and authors share. With his death, I revisited two of them, the unique and utterly amazing feat of self-deception that is Shadow & Claw and The Fifth Head of Cerberus, an intricate triptych that garnered his first critical acclaim. When I was in college, Shadow literally changed genre reading for me. But Fifth Head I didnt pick up until a few years ago and while I enjoyed it, I wasnt wowed the way I had expected. Galvanized by his passing, I determined to give it another try, and perhaps it was the combination of mourning and homage, of being a little older and more widely read, but this time I realized how masterful it actually is. In a letter once, Wolfe defined his idea of a good book as “One that can be read with pleasure by a cultivated reader and reread with increasing pleasure. ” For this Year in Reading essay, I considered what else in 2019 would constitute a good book per Wolfes definition, and while I havent yet actually reread any of these, they are the ones that have lingered with me the most, the ones I want to engage with again in the future. In fiction, The Silk Road by Kathryn Davis (Graywolf) left me in a state of pleasurable mystification. Reaching the last line, I knew only that I had no clue what had just happened. Likely, another dip into that strange tale of siblings on a journey (maybe. wont clarify much more than the first time, but Im looking forward to another go. Conversely, the short stories in The Scent of Buenos Aires by Hebe Uhart (Archipelago, translated by Maureen Shaughnessy) require no effort at understanding. They are provincial delights tinged with loneliness that produce an ineffable and strange magic. Already, Ive re-read a couple of the stories just for the smiles they bring. This will be a well-worn, dog-eared favorite in no time. Of course, shorter works are easiest to imagine revisiting, and a perfect little gem is The Black Forest by Valérie Mréjen (Deep Vellum, translated by Katie Shireen Assef) a macabre novella, portraying capricious and inevitable Death, yet managing somehow a tenderness in its depictions of mortal demises. In fact, I realized in the compilation of this list many of the books that most resonated with me dealt with themes of death and trauma, which is no surprise for they have cast their long and unwelcome shadows over this year. And nothing quite hit home like Axiomatic by Maria Tumarkin (Transit Books) a stark and probing examination of the way trauma shapes the lives around it. Reading it, I understood my own pain a little better, if most simply for the acknowledgement that every response to trauma is unique. Then there was the superb The Grave on the Wall by Brandon Shimoda (City Lights) an elegy to his grandfather, moving between personal grief and historical trauma. It reminded me of Sebald, an effect enhanced by the haunting black and white photos interspersed throughout. On this matter of historical trauma, a trio of novels have stuck with me: the encyclopedic and obsessive EEG. by Daša Drndić, New Directions, translated by Celia Hawkesworth) the meta-fictional Human Matter by Rodrigo Rey Rosa (University of Texas Press, translated by Eduardo Aparicio) and the quiet but powerful The Teacher by Michal Ben Naftali (Open Letter, coming in January 2020, translated by Daniella Zamir. In their own ways, each explored trauma as cultural inheritance, as buried secrets to be excavated. In order not to end on such a grim note however, I have saved the best for last. Two books this year achieved the rare feat of eliciting pure joy in the reading experience. Heavens Breath: A Natural History of the Wind by Lyall Watson was filled with astonishing facts and beautiful writing and was undoubtedly the book that most made me interrupt my wife with a listen-to-this! moment. Sharks, Death, Surfers by Melissa McCarthy (Sternberg Press) was a quickly devoured exercise in linkages. Playfully, McCarthys nimble mind ranged from Jaws to Chappaquiddick, Captain Cook to surf photography, sharks to book cover design. Both of these books were fun, which is something I so rarely look for that Im always surprised to encounter it. As a bookseller, I am surrounded by wonderful books, and it is always a challenge to remember even all of the good ones. Permit me to quickly mention The Alley of Fireflies & Other Stories by Raymond Roussel (Song Cave, translated by Mark Ford) On Lighthouses by Jazmina Barrera (Two Lines, coming in May 2020, translated by Christina MacSweeney) and The Queens Caprice by Jean Echenoz (The New Press, translated by Linda Coverdale. To Mr. Wolfe I wish to say, Thank you. See you under the New Sun. Christopher Phipps has been a bookseller in the Bay Area for many years. He is currently a manager at City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco. Rachel Pisani, Queen Books Not to brag, but I crushed my reading goal for this year. Ok, Im bragging a little. I resolved to read 45 books in 2019 and will probably round out the year at 56. A lot of the titles Ive read this year were mostly picked from the pile of galleys that accumulates behind the cash counter, sent to us from lovely publishers to give us a heads up on what is coming down the pipe. I started January with What if This Were Enough? by Heather Havrilesky. What a perfect reminder that no resolution can paper over the existential dread that drives our era. The essays were a salve on my under-achieving millennial soul, a warm recognition that the feeling of inadequacy is inseparable from being human. After that, it was time to delve into Ottessa Moshfeghs world again. McGlue hit me in the head as I spun through it in the laundromat and made me feel like I had a brain injury. Eileen both grossed me out and inspired me somehow. Later in the year I absorbed her forthcoming Death in Her Hands (April 2020) and was just in awe. It reminded me of Shirley Jacksons spooky style with Moshfeghs character skill. Like so many Canadians, I fled Februarys frozen polar hellscape for a two-star all-inclusive in Veradero, Cuba. I ignored most enticements to party, curling up instead on a broken lounge chair with The Pisces by Amy Broder. Its the myth of the siren but reversed: a mix of Twilight and Mrs. Caliban. I will never forgive what happens to the dog. Ever. The Spirit of Science Fiction by Roberto Bolaño brought me back into the warm dreamscape of his 1960s Mexico City and the poetry scene he introduced first in Savage Detectives. A Bolaño fan since my early twenties, I may have tattooed a not-insignificant slab of my left arm to proselytize forever Bolaños unparalleled worldmaking. Back in Canada spring came, and I felt restless. My reading for this season can be described as young, dumb and f*cked. Juliet the Maniac by Juliet Escoria ruined me, and I stupidly chased it with Cherry by Nico Walker just in case I wasnt feeling beat down enough. These books are raw portrayals of adolescence and were maybe too real for me, which might tell you something about my own teenage years. I moved into a whingey-millennial phase with Sally Rooneys two books about emotionally repressed Irish teenagers. Rooneys prose is clear to the point of sparse but deservedly celebrated for being gut-wrenching also. Conversations with Friends was lighter than Normal People, whose two characters I wanted to reach through the page and slap into adulthood. About once a year I go through a phase of hating on technology and lamenting what it has done to the consciousness of myself and everyone I love. So I picked up a number of books in the hope that confirming this would also inspire some obvious fix. Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, How to Disappear by Akiko Busch, and How to Do Nothing by Jenny Odell all offered great advice, most consistently that there is no way of abandoning a world mediated by machine learning without abandoning society at the same time. How to Do Nothing was the absolute stand out, with heady philosophical insight that resonated long after with me and my friends. Finally, summer came and with it a blur of fiction. Bunny by Mona Awad was like Heathers but with a literary cult and blood magic. Marcy Dermanskys Very Nice was a Nora Ephron movie about rich white-people with hilarious problems. The Dry Heart by Natalia Ginzburg grabbed me from the first page. I devoured it and it still hasnt let me go. The Man Who Saw Everything was both dreamy and paranoid, erotic and amnesiac. And of course, what kind of millennial would I be without Jia “the voice of her generation” Tolentinos, Trick Mirror (she hates being called that. It was a poignant, challenge to sit with the uncertainty of our world. And here I sit. Lastly, I would let myself down if I didnt mention true crime. Ive been leading the true crime Book Club at Queen Books for over a year now. In short, the best of the twelve we read: Chaos by Tom ONeill, The Grim Sleeper by Christine Pelisek, Seven Fallen Feathers by Tanya Talaga, American Predator by Maureen Callahan and Black Dahlia, Red Rose by Piu Eatwell.

Were a general interest bookstore, but emphasize exceptional backlist titles, under-represented authors and childrens books. All our social media is @QueenBooksTO Rachel Cass, Harvard Book Store This has been a strange year in my reading life. I read some new books that I truly loved by authors Im thrilled to champion to our customers, I embarked on a backlist reading project to escape from the constant cycle of advance copies that fill my office, and I went through the longest reading drought Ive had in several years. The very first book I read this year was Furious Hours by newly minted New Yorker staff writer Casey Cep. It follows the case of the Reverend Willie Maxwell, who was accused of murdering several family members for insurance payouts, and it follows the later life of Harper Lee, who tried to write her second book about Maxwells case. The story would be sensational in any writers hands, but Cep weaves the stories with such skill and tenderness that the result is a masterful portrait of a region, a community, and an American literary era. I couldnt stop talking about it for weeks. Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson is told in the space of a young black girls Sweet Sixteen party, as she and her family reflect on the many small moments that brought them to that day. It is a novel about how the past is always with us. It lives on in our families, in the stories we tell, in the lessons we teach, in the hopes we have for our childrens futures. It sparkles in individual moments, as parents watch their children age before their eyes and adults recall the choices they made and those left aside. It felt like The Weil Conjectures by Karen Olsson was written just for me. Olsson studied mathematics at Harvard before becoming a novelist and editor; I started a graduate program in mathematics before leaving to become a full-time bookseller. She felt like a kindred spirit. Her somewhat speculative biographical sketch of siblings Simone and Andre Weil is also part memoir of her time in mathematics and the continuing pull of its beauty, and a philosophical meditation on intellectualism. Wake, Siren by Nina MacLaughlin started when she was rereading Ovids Metamorphoses and decided to rewrite one of the myths from the womans perspective. The exercise turned into a full-on project and the result is a stunning, emotional, cathartic adaptation of some of our oldest stories. Like Furious Hours, its a book that has stayed with me and that I have worked into countless conversations in the months since I first read it. Around my birthday in August, I decided to spend the next year focusing more on backlist reading than frontlist, because as a bookseller its so easy to get caught up in the marketing buzz of new galleys and blurb requests from publicists and to lose any deliberation in my reading process. My goals were to expand my canon, catch up on recent prizewinners, and generally fill holes in my reading history. But Im expecting my second baby in April, and just as my backlist reading project was getting started, so was the morning sickness portion of my pregnancy. For almost two months I read hardly anything, and got really down about how little I was able to accomplish from day to day. As I was coming out of it, I turned to Becoming by Michelle Obama, because I admire her values, her family, and her honesty about the struggle required to make a marriage and family work. Hearing her voice in my head was a welcome balm in a really difficult period in my year. Once I was finally reading again, I needed something light and fun to get me back in the groove. Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia had been described to me as The Westing Game for adults, but set in Boston, so it was the perfect comeback book. A wealthy eccentric with an extensive collection of occult artifacts dies and sends a city on a treasure hunt to claim his fortune. It would be fun reading for anyone who loves a puzzle, but is the perfect literary confection for a Bostonian. With a baby coming in April, I have no idea what my reading year will look like in 2020, but I have no shortage of books on my pile, both old and new, that Im looking forward to. Rachel Cass is the Buying & Inventory Manager for Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, MA. Shuchi Saraswat, Brookline Booksmith For most of this past year, we lived in a house we rented from a friend in Boston. A whole house—a luxury to us, more space than we had ever had to live in. The house included a spare room, long and narrow and lined with windows, just big enough for a bed and desk. We used it as our reading room, as this year, we quickly realized, would be my year of reading. From the reading room, I could see the attic apartment across the street where my partner used to live with his children. Out the window, I could see the door I used to arrive at after a steep uphill walk, where, in winter, swords of icicles hung from the eaves. The windows now dark, we couldnt make out if anyone had moved in and that allowed me to imagine all of us, still there together—his children, him and I—sprawled on layers of rugs, watching a movie. What is reading if not a way of being in two places and two times, at once? From the bed in that room, that previous life in sight out the window, I read many of the books submitted for this years National Book Award in Translated Literature; I read, too, books by the authors who would be speaking at the Transnational Literature Series, an author events series I run at the bookstore where I work; and I read books for fun, meaning books that I would not need to assess or judge or introduce, stories I could just be in, be with. In that reading room I was with Naja Marie Aidt in her grief, listening to Bob Marleys Redemption Song. I had my mind blown by the power, poetry, and ferocious energy of Inger Christensens IT. I was in the audience as Baron Wenckheim takes the stage and doesnt recognize the middle-aged woman his childhood sweetheart has become. I was on a pesco fueled road-trip with three friends in search of a corpse, and in an apartment complex in South Korea. While my partner was making breakfast I read him a profile of man in Brazil who eats glass. In this year of reading, I read in the car, while eating, while lying down on my side, back, my stomach. I read aloud to my dog while she snored. In Quebec City on vacation, I was up early, on a pig farm in rural France finding out that soon everyone must leave for a world war. My feet in the sand on a Cape Cod beach, I was with an elderly woman in an English town living a solitary life, making sculptures, fingers gnarled and in pain. On a park bench down the street from the bookstore, during my lunch break, I finished a novel in which objects and beings suddenly disappear, and I sat and held the book for a while, just holding it, feeling its edges and weight. Stories spilled from their pages and into my days, a welcome trespass. For me reading has always been about peeling back the layers, getting under the surface of life, closer to its beating heart. A year in reading, a year of reading. Reading as a kind of living. Shuchi Saraswat is a bookseller and director of the Transnational Literature Series at Brookline Booksmith. Simon Armstrong, Tate Modern and Tate Britain gallery bookstores In the ongoing quest to find out what the hell is happening, the book that resonated with me most this year, and one prompting the most underlining and note-taking was Living In A World That Cant Be Fixed: Reimagining Counter-Culture Today by Curtis White (Melville House. It has helped me see the primacy, influence and power that artists, writers and cultural workers can hold over business and politics, giving me great hope in the general gloom. Following on from that, the wonderful Steal as Much as You Can by Nathalie Olah (Repeater Books) also informs and re-assures. Among many other insights, Olah breaks down feelings like imposter syndrome, the idea that we have to be like them or we arent welcome, and shows how the system is rigged. We all need more self-belief and creative confidence in 2020. On that: Smashing It: Working Class Artists on Life, Art and Making it Happen (Saqi Books) edited by Sabrina Mahfouz has also been instructive and motivating. Id missed The Mushroom at The End of The World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing (Princeton University Press) until a bookseller from Foyles on Charing Cross Road put me onto it in the Summer this year. Its about Matsutake, the most sought after and valuable mushroom in the world, its remarkable qualities and its ability to cohabit and exist in unlikely and inhospitable places, and what this can teach us about how we might all survive in the future. Donna Haraway is a fan, and Haraway also wrote an introduction to The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction by Ursula Le Guin (Ignota)—an excellent short essay which brings culture back from the cosmos to the hearth. Inhospitable locations are also the subject of The Rough-Stuff Fellowship Archive (Isola Press. A fascinating collection of stories, hand drawn maps and photographs documenting the oldest off-road cycling club who ride up mountain ranges, across Icelandic plains, and lots of other places around the world where bikes dont belong. Photo and art books Ive loved this year include Jack Davidsons Photographs (Loose Joints) and Remembering the Future by Albaran Cabera (Editions RM) which are both perfect examples of “book as artwork”; glorious photographs, carefully designed and printed. Congregation by Sophie Green (Loose Joints) is simple and beautiful too, delicate photographs of worshippers at Aladura spiritualist African churches based around Southwark in South London. All Good Things by Stephen Ellcock (September Publishing) is majestic, a joyous visual trip into the esoteric, occult and mystical edge-lands of art. Buddahs in the Palm of Your Hand (Pie Books) is a neat little book about nenji-butsu, the seventh-century pocket-sized Buddhist devotional icons carved from sandalwood that the faithful could carry around with them. Each tiny statue has a poem alongside it, creating a very simple and soothing book. After reading Raising a Forest by Thibaud Herem (Cicada Books) last year, Ive developed a fascination with trees, so Ive been reading all about them while also planting different species in pots in my front yard. The long-term plan is to plant trees all around the city. There have been loads of books about trees in the past year, but I particularly enjoyed Sylvan Cities—An Urban Tree Guide by Helen Babbs (Atlantic Books. And in those city trees, theres the curious increase in the number of wild parakeets! One of the most fun reads this year was The Parakeeting of London—An Adventure in Gonzo Ornithology by Nick Hunt (Paradise Road) which explores the rapid rise of the parakeet population in London. Novels: Drive Your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk (Fitzcarraldo Editions) The Man Who Saw Everything by Deborah Levy (Hamish Hamilton) This Brutal House by Niven Govinden (Dialogue Books) Will and Testament by Vigdis Hjorth (Verso) Kitchen Curse by Eka Kurniawan (Verso)—all were all extremely rewarding and reminders that fiction has that unique effect, it puts you in another psychic space altogether, a place we would all benefit from spending much more time it. Special mention too for Seasonal Associate by Heike Geissler (Semiotexte) a novel based on her experience as a Christmas temp at an Amazon fulfilment Centre in Leipzig, which descends into a nightmare tale of humiliation and precarity—an essential book for our time. Childrens books both I and my children have enjoyed: The Fate of Fausto by Oliver Jeffers (Harper Collins) and My Little Small by Ulf Stark (Enchanted Lion) Apart from reading, or perhaps in order to read more, its important to remember to eat. The food book Ive really got into this year is Mandalay by MiMi Aye (Bloomsbury Absolute) which is an insightful trip into traditional Burmese cooking. Along with some amazing recipes, including the incredible rainbow pickle, I also learned that the myth about MSG being bad is a racist construct, and that the Burmese greet each other not by saying hello, but by asking if you have already eaten.

For book and art updates, follow him on Instagram at @simonthebooks and on Twitter @simonthebookman Christopher Soriano-Palma, Barnes and Noble Since 2015, I have an annual challenge where I try to read 50 books each year, using my Goodreads account to keep score. That year, I reached 31 books. In 2016, I managed to beat my goal and read 53. In 2017, I read 48 books. And last year, I read 42. This year, I only managed to read 26. To be fair, this was a year of transition for me. I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my dream in becoming a writer. I became a bookseller at Barnes and Noble. And I have begun to pursue projects in the film industry. But despite all those changes, I never stopped reading. Or at least, I tried to read using what little time I had to give myself the luxury. I try my best never to forget about reading. At the same time, I have become more conscious of what and who I read. Since last year, I had made an effort to read more POC, womxn, and QTPOC writers, which is a trend I continued this year and am going to continue the next as well. (I also intend, as a bookseller, to sell more of those authors; I am constantly ordering those books for the store. Thus, here are some books by non-white authors I read and enjoyed. For poetry, I only managed to read three books, but they were all by debut poets. Mother Tongue Apologize by Preeti Vangani (Rlfpa Editions) is a powerful collection of poems celebrating the authors mother while also tackling heavy themes of loss, body image, family, sex, politics, and cancer. Similarly, Dominicana Americana by Krizia Isamar Bruno (Ofrendas Press) also deals a lot with family, though this one tends to move towards the theme of cultural binaries, where the poet relates to her struggle of identifying more as American or Dominican. The last poetry collection, This is Not a Frank Ocean Cover Album by Alan Chazaro (Black Lawrence Press) explores masculinity, colonialism, gentrification, and is essentially an ode to Oakland and other settings that have shaped the poets experiences. All three collections made a deep impression on me, making me want to write my own poetry. As for fiction, my primary genre, I absolutely loved what I read this year, starting with A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara (Anchor Books. I have heard every polarizing opinion on this novel, but I am in the I-love-it camp. Everything about this book was amazing to me and Jude St. Francis will be a name that will remain with me forever. Next was A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James (Riverhead Books. This was one of the most difficult books I read this year. It took me so long to get used to the slang in the novel. But what an incredible ride it was. This was followed by Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli (Knopf) which I thought was a great novel about the child refugee crisis which also managed to touch some indigenous history. Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (Mariner Books) was by far my favorite short story collection this year. Stories that dealt with Black Lives Matter, retail, and sometimes some surrealism? Whats not to love? I also read Roberto Bolaños The Return (New Directions) which is also a collection of short stories. Reading Bolaños short fiction sometimes makes me think that was his best form of writing. Other fiction titles included Penguin Highway by Tomihiko Morimi (Yen on. Oddly enough, its listed as a manga in our store because it was adapted into an anime film in 2018. Ive yet to see the film, but the book was a phenomenal story about a fourth grader trying to solve the mystery of why a group of penguins suddenly appear in his hometown. I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter (Ember) also left a strong impression on me, a story about a young Mexican American girl who is often and unfairly compared to her recently deceased older sister. As a Mexican American myself, I strongly identified with its themes of immigration, cultural assimilation, and generational distance. The last fiction book I enjoyed this year (and tied with A Little Life for my absolute favorite) is On Earth Were Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong (Penguin Press. I was already familiar with Vuong from his poetry, and he did not disappoint with his debut novel. Theres something about poets when they choose to write prose, whether that be fiction or nonfiction, that is just magnificent and shows their mastery of the language(s) they employ. This is the kind of book I am jealous to have not written, but its also the book that makes me want to write and write better than I ever have. Oddly enough, I want to end with a self-published memoir called Finding Home by Jackie Gronlund. Its a story about the authors experience in moving seven times since the age of nineteen. Its a powerful story that deals with sexual assault, trauma, mental illness, and more. This is not Gronlunds first book, and I certainly hope its not her last either. Of course, I want to read more before the decade is over. I hope to start at least one more novel before the end of the year, though time may not allow me to finish it until early January 2020. Still, this was the decade that made me a reader (I did not take reading seriously until 2009) and 2019, though I read less than normal, gave me a wonderful time. I hope to read more in the future and inspire more customers to read as well. Christopher Soriano is a writer and bookseller living in Los Angeles. He is the fiction editor for Watermelanin Mag, an online journal championing the works of POC authors, and a creative director for For All Media Productions. He is currently at work on his first novel and works at Barnes and Noble in Studio City, CA. Angela Maria Spring, Duende District Bookstore When I walked into 2019, it was already a season of transformation. I was four months pregnant and on the cusp of a cross-country move, taking both my tiny unborn boy and my tiny mobile bookstore with me. I had just left the first-trimester exhaustion and nonstop nausea, and somehow powered through the holiday retail season with a handful of pop-ups (which is grueling, physically exhausting work even when not pregnant. I still had to pack up my two-bedroom Washington, DC, before getting in our car for the thousand-mile trip to Albuquerque, me and my husbands beloved hometown. To say that I didnt have a lot of energy for reading would be a gross understatement. I already had leftover reading fatigue from spending 2018 judging the Kirkus Fiction Prize. And for a career bookseller, one whose boutique bookstore business hinges on specialized curation, it was a frightening prospect to not be able to emotionally face reading serious fiction and nonfiction for the first time. However, one book pulled me out of my slump and also answered many of my desperate questions that any normal 37-year-old woman pregnant for the first time wants to know—namely, what the heck is happening to my body? I kept Googling questions about why, exactly and kept coming up with nothing. I didnt want to read a bunch of pregnancy books, I could find all the general information online and I didnt need anyones judgment on how I chose to face my upcoming motherhood. I finally stumbled across Like A Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy, by Angela Garbes. Not only was this book, part-memoir, part-scientific journey for Garbes, brilliantly written and stocked full of things I wanted to know (my blood turns to milk. but Garbes is one of the extremely few women of color to write a book on pregnancy. With that, I was able to swing back into a semblance of my usual routine and the next book I devoured was Susan Chois Trust Exercise, which won the National Book Award. Coincidentally, my next book after that was Kali Farajdo-Anstines Sabrina & Corina (on the NABAs fiction short list) and was my favorite book of 2019. The year continued to unfold into a powerful one for books by women of color that I could not put down, from The Stubborn Archivist, by Yara Rodrigues Fowler, to My Time Among the Whites by Jennine Capó Crucet. I was utterly delighted with young adult novel Dont Date Rosa Santos, by Nina Moreno, and laughed my way through the ever-hilarious Ali Wongs Dear Girls. As all booksellers should, Im ending 2019 reading for the future, and 2020 looks even brighter. I cant wait for my customers to lay hands on Julia Alvarezs Afterlife, Elisabeth Thomass Catherine House and Ottessa Moshfeghs Death In Her Hands. And Ive found that my transformation, as a mother and a bookseller, is still in full force, as it should be. Elayna Trucker, Napa Bookmine The Three Plagues of Christmas I am obsessed with The Plague. Bubonic, pneumonic, Plague with a capital P. Im a medievalist by schooling, and the plague pops up a lot. There is no escaping it—hacking, vomiting, blistering black buboes, quarantines, death death DEATH. You think your teenage daughter is goth? Let me tell you a bit about medieval art and the literal millions of skeletons, skulls, grim reapers, angels of death, and the walking dead there are. Fully one third of Europes population died in the throes of the Plague within the span of just a few years. If you fly over certain forests in Central Europe with an infrared camera, youll find the grown over remains of villages that were entirely wiped off the map when every single person living in them perished. There is no overstating the horror of living through the Black Death and the impact it had on every aspect of society and culture when it finally released its grip on the human population. In the spirit of the season and with the hope that this is not the most tenuous listicle youve ever perused, I present to you a selection of books I read this year helpfully divided by their theme-plague. The Plague of Modernity Russia. Our old antagonist looms large on our maps and in our news cycle, but we rarely get a glimpse into the lives of people actually living there. Author Lydia Fitzpatrick unpeels the veil of this enigmatic country to show us the brutality of the post-Soviet landscape. Lights All Night Long (Penguin Press) is enough of a mystery to keep you reading late into the night, but the real treat is Fitzpatricks keen eye to emotional and geographic detail and a profound understanding of Russias recent history. The Zambia of Namwali Serpells debut novel The Old Drift (Hogarth Press) is so evocative you can practically smell the cooking in the air and feel the sweat roll down your back. A generational saga unlike any other, the plot is sprawling yet tightly woven. Hints of magical realism provide a mythic quality, with a dash of science fiction at the end ensuring that this stunning work defies genre. Technology here plays the roll of both liberator and prison warden. Hollow Kingdom (Grand Central Publishing) by Kira Jane Buxton is the story of the zombie apocalypse as told from the perspective of a domesticated crow named Shit Turd, and really, need I say more? Maria Dahvana Headly says: we have failed our veterans. She says: we have failed our mothers and our children. We have failed our ancestors and our land. In The Mere Wife (MCD) who is the monster? Grendel? Grendels mother? Or the man who seeks to kill them? The Plague of American Capitalism Guatemala, if we hear about it at all, is not known to be a happy place. Kelly Kerneys research into the irreparable harm American interests have done to this once stable nation informs her excellently crafted novel Hard Red Spring (Penguin Press. Four women at different times find themselves in Guatemala and the book slowly unravels the horror of what happened to the Guatemalan people, of what American companies, churches, and politicians did to them. This is what good fiction does: teaches you about the world in a way that sometimes real life fails to. Colson Whiteheads The Nickel Boys (Doubleday Books) is, depressingly, based on the true story of the Dozier School for Boys in Florida. The young men sent to the school for “reform” are subject to degradation and abuse, thus ensuring their role in the cycle of violence. Whitehead shows that removing a persons personhood, stripping them of their dignity, does not create meek men; it mostly creates monsters, and the ones who manage to avoid that fate are few and far between. Find March 24th, 2020 in your wall calendar/day planner/Google calendar/Blueberry notes/scratch marks on your wall: Thats the day Enter the Aardvark (Little Brown) by Jessica Anthony comes out. This books is batshit insane and I love it. What do a closeted gay Republican congressman whos obsessed with Ronald Reagan have in common with a taxidermist in 19th-century England? Answer: an aardvark. And also much more, but Ill let you discover the rest for yourself. The Actual, Literal Plague Please do yourself a favor: dont ever pet a squirrel. Particularly if you live in a Western state. Sure, theyre kinda cute and they have those fluffy little tails, but they also might carry the plague. Yes, the actual, literal plague. To learn about how that happened, youll have to read David K. Randalls exceptionally narrated history, Black Death at the Golden Gate (W. W. Norton) of how the plague came to San Francisco at the beginning of the 20th century and nearly caused a massive epidemic due to governmental inaction, institutionalized racism, and stonewalling by local media. Its a medical mystery, its a page turner, ITS THE PLAGUE! Elayna Trucker is the lead buyer, operations manager, and events coordinator of Napa Bookmine, which has three stores in Napa County... Part three in this series will appear Monday, December 30th.

October 8, 2019 9:50PM PT New York's rare book dealers discuss what they did for love in a wistful doc made for those who can still look at a book and see a magical object. Its never a surprise to learn that the Internet has upended a business, or an entire industry. But in the lovely and wistful documentary “ The Booksellers, ” we hear one telling illustration of how the online universe has revolutionized the world of vintage books, and its an object lesson so fraught with irony that its a little head-spinning. Imagine that it was, say, the early 90s, and you were a rare-book maven with an impassioned, if not obsessive-compulsive, desire to accumulate a complete collection of the works of Edith Wharton, all in first editions. (Since Edith Wharton happens to be my favorite writer, this example nabbed my attention. How would you do it? Youd go to vintage bookstores, attend auctions, work with a dealer. Youd gather your first editions one by one, over time, and the slow and steady hunt would be part of the pleasure. But in the world of online book selling, where everything is catalogued and digitized, its all potentially a lot simpler. You can still play treasure hunt if youd like, but all you really have to do is say, “Id like to own a first-edition copy of every book Edith Wharton ever wrote, ” and the computer does the searching for you, all at once. To gather this collection, all youd have to be ready to do is to put the total sum on your credit card. In a sense, thats exhilarating. In rare books, as in so many other things, the Internet can reduce the search for the Holy Grail to an instant click-and-score. But with the hunt made borderline irrelevant, youre no longer quite collecting; youre just buying. The thrill may not be gone, but its reduced. And for the vintage book-store owner — the professional bibliophile, the man or woman who knows theyre buying and selling not just old books but sacred artifacts — the impact of Internet commerce has been a slow-motion debacle. The web turns them, more and more, into not-so-necessary middlemen. Of course, what the Internet is also doing is accelerating, rather radically, the erosion of our collective passion for book culture. Its not as if its gone away! But when it comes to feeding the book business as a business, the number of people who spend time reading things between covers is in a rapid state of decline. Yet if the rare-book trade has reached a crucial moment of struggle, “The Booksellers” reveals that its hanging on in novel ways. The present-tense sheen of the 21st century has altered the meaning, and place, of books in our society in ways that can make them seem even more valuable. You might say that vintage books are now like vinyl albums — but in this case, they always were. So for the vintage-book believer, the value of a volume has actually gone up: as totem, as symbol, as artifact of beauty. Its slow fade from the culture only enhances its magic as an object. “The Booksellers” invites us to dote on the tactile mystery of old books — the elegance of the print, the pages that may be fragmenting, the colorful latticework bindings, the back-breaking size of certain old volumes, like the Gutenberg Bible (more or less the first book ever printed, dating back to the mid-1400s) or one giant book we see that contains intricate drawings of fish skeletons. D. W. Young, the director of “The Booksellers, ” is a veteran film editor who leads us into grand and cozy old bookstores like the mysterious museums they are. He roots the movie in New York City (with a few forays to London) since thats where the heart of American literary culture still resides, and he introduces us to a cast of characters who are captivating in their what-I-did-for-love devotion. They all have it; if they didnt, they wouldnt be in the business. Many of the stores go back to the 20s, when 4th Ave., known as book row in Manhattan, had close to 50 bookstores, most of them owned and operated, in the words of Fran Lebowitz, by “dusty Jewish men who would get irritated if you wanted to buy a book. ” That, says Lebowitz, is because theyd gone into the business mostly so they could sit around and read all day. The film takes us inside New Yorks most fabled bookshop, the Argosy Book Store, founded in 1925 by Louis Cohen and now run by his daughters, Judith, Naomi, and Adina, who are in the rare position of being able to keep the dream alive because they own the six-story building that houses the store on E. 59th St. The dance of literary aesthetics and money is addictive. In the 50s and 60s, dust jackets were considered works of art, until they fell out of favor. Now theyre back in fashion, to the point that a first edition of “The Great Gatsby” without a dust jacket is currently worth about 5, 000, whereas with a torn and tattered jacket it would fetch 15, 000, and with a jacket in vintage condition it could go for 150, 000. At the Antiquarian Book Fair held each year at the Park Avenue Armory, we see an original edition of “Don Quixote, ” which is worth 20, 000, and learn that a first edition of the original James Bond novel, “Casino Royale, ” now goes for 150, 000. The comparison to the art market is there in a primal way, even if the book prices are lower (though we do see the auction at which Bill Gates, over the phone, purchased Leonardos Codex Hammer for 28 million) with the cost of a vintage book reflecting the ever-shifting values of the culture. “The Booksellers” finds room for tidbits of history, like a thumbnail sketch of the pioneering book maven A. S. Rosenbach, as well as a portrait of the seminal dealer-collectors Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine B. Stern, who had to fight to make their mark in a demimonde of tweedy men. (For years, they were scandalously denied membership in the Grolier Club. Rostenberg and Stern became legendary, uncovering Louisa May Alcotts hidden pseudonym as an author of pulp novels, and opening the doors for the contemporary women dealers we meet, like Rebecca Romney, who became a regular on “Pawn Stars, ” spreading the gospel of rare-book love with a rare crossover charisma. She emerges as the movies cockeyed optimist of bibliophilia. Theres a happy contradiction at the heart of antiquarian book culture. The passion for books is about the love of reading — the rhythm of it, the meditative space of it, which increasingly stands as a 19th-century counterpulse to the amped heartbeat of the 21st century. But “The Booksellers” is also about the kind of people who relish vintage books as fetish objects. Those of us who love old books know that feeling. Yet its not just about owning; that gorgeous rare volume incarnates the concrete mysticism of the reading experience. “The Booksellers” is a documentary for anyone who can still look at a book and see a dream, a magic teleportation device, an object that contains the world.

This short film had a very soothing effect on me when I watched it. Keep up the good work. I wish I lived near this store. I would live in there! 😍 I'll add this to one of my places to visit when I'm able to travel. 😊. The booksellers free download free. So Jaeden Martell has some of the most dialogue and screen time in the trailer, he's a rising and popular actor and he gets no mention in the official description. 🤷🏽‍♂️.

It left me scratching my head and digging for answers as to what I read. I'm confident I understand the direction Swanson was going, for me, it failed in execution. Needless to say my reading journey was severely stunted. Swanson undoubtedly stepped out of the box. She demonstrated her originality while clearly setting herself apart. I have mixed feelings regarding Kitty/Katharyn, she has good intentions yet she contradicts these intentions in many... Kitty Miller and Frieda Green own and run a bookstore in Denver, Colorado. It is the 1960s, and their idyllic world includes books and all things bookish. But at night, Kitty lives in an alternate world created in her dreams: she is Katharyn Andersson, married to Lars, with triplets: Mitch, Missy, and Michael. And Michael is autistic. When Kitty first begins visiting her dream world, her life is almost perfect. But as she spends more time there, she realizes the challenges of this world. And then... What's going on in publishing these days? Is the same designer responsible for all these covers? If so, good job, designer. You won again. These covers always pull me in because of course they do. Why wouldn't they? None of these books have lived up to their covers, sadly. Don't get me wrong. I liked this one. It's a solid story with good writing and an interesting premise. Unfortunately, I got a little tired of it. Also, it made me feel sad but not in the way I like to feel sad. It made me feel... Cynthia Swansons THE BOOKSELLER is ostensibly a story of two realities, one in which protagonist Kitty is a 38-year-old single woman who runs a failing bookstore with her life-long best friend and lives alone with her cat, and another in which Kitty (now called Katharyn) is married with three children, living the typical 1960s suburban family life. Kitty-the-bookseller is convinced that her experiences as married Katharyn are dreams, a fantasy place she visits as she drifts off to sleep. As... I expected to love this story. It takes place in the sixties and follows an independent woman who owns a book shop. She begins living in a parallel world in her dreams at night. When awake, she's the bookshop owner with her best friend. She has a cat and loves her parents and is helping the neighbor boy learn to read. When she's asleep she's the mother of triplets with this blue-eyed husband who takes her to cocktail parties. There's a situation with one of the kids that I didn't know what to make... I am sorry but Ms Swanson didn't get me in at all while this was well written endearing & the characters you felt for I just couldn't keep going as I didn't know where this was going, mind you this was her first novel, I have read her other novel and enjoyed it. Kitty was one of the saddest characters I have ever read she dreams of a happy life husband children everyone wants that don't they? but when she wakes she is still living a mundane life running Thus Girls a bookstore with her best... Kitty Miller is single. She owns a business with her best friend, Frieda, and she is pretty contented with her independent life and her cat. Then she falls asleep one night and finds herself in an alternate reality in which she is Katharyn, a married woman with children, a loving husband, and a much more complicated but fuller life. Dreaming of this life once is like taking a trip, but Kitty dreams of this life over and over again and the line between reality and dreaming begins to blur. I adore... Denver 1962. Single gal, Kitty, runs a bookshop with her best friend, Frieda. Marriage and a family never became part of the plan, but Kitty has a good family and friend network and the faithful love of her cat, Aslan. Cynthia Swanson plays with the "What if. question that often haunts us, as we get older. For Kitty it happens through her dreams. Into this alternate reality, Kitty is Kathryn, married to the blue eyed Swedish -American architect that answered her dating advertisement in 1954... This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This was a read I quickly became immersed in. The gentle cadence and details of the story absorbed my attention and I couldn't put the book down this morning as my coffee grew cold. One of the aspects of the unfolding of the story was in the beginning there is a clear delineation between reality and the fantasy world that the main character dreams herself into. As the story reveals more, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, both for Kitty Miller/Katharyn Andersson and the reader... This book is beautiful! B e a u t i f u l! Absolutely heart wrenching, heartbreaking, and heartwarming! The biggest question in this book is "What if. It's bittersweet, surprising and talks about different subjects such as autism, grieve, ailment, love, friendship, books and family. It's also set in the sixties which is different and interesting. I highlighted ALL the books mentioned here! I must read them all! An interesting twist on the classic "what if" tale. One huge pet peeve: the crappy Spanish of Alma the housekeeper. Seriously, couldn't Harper get someone who actually knows Spanish to check that the author's Spanish was accurate? Btw, not only was it not accurate, it was actually ATROCIOUS. I don't know about you. but I would love to own a bookshop and have these dreams... The Bookseller was a pretty interesting book. I feel like I flew through the kindle version because it just kept reminding me of other little books. Sort of like Outlander, but not really. In this book, you will meet Katharyn and Lars. Whenever she goes to sleep, well she wakes up in this different world (sort of. Maybe I should dive more into that? Same world but a different time zone is probably a bit easier... This Cynthia Swanson's first novel. The plot is set in Denver in the 1960s, Miss Kitty Miller(30) is single & dreams of a new life to be Mrs. Kathryn Anderson(30) married to a rich Man. Kitty is a unhappy school teacher, from parents for failing their children. Her best friend, Frieda Green's advertisement job has too much pressure. They open a simple Sisters' Bookstore & must consider moving from the city to the suburbs were businesses are growing. Kitty is lonely & calls a... Bittersweet. The book is about a woman named Kitty who lives another life in her dreams where she is Katharyn. It is one of those books where one decision could have lead to a different path. Or is it? This book had many layers, and presented some twists (which were blatantly obvious. It was well written and engaging, but at the same time predictable. It was a good read though. I received an uncorrected proof copy of this novel from HarperCollins. In 1962 Denver, Kitty Miller is content with her unconventional life as an unmarried woman who runs a bookshop with her best friend, Frieda. That is until she begins to dream about an alternate path her life may have taken - one in which she goes by Katharyn and is married to the love of her life and is a stay at home mother. Kitty begins to question the path her life has taken at the same time that the division between her... 3. 5 bumped to 4 At the beginning of “The Bookseller”, I thought, “goodie, book candy! Im in the mood”. And then…. ”Something wicked this way comes”. The novel is told from the prospective of Kitty, aka, Katharyn. We learn that Kitty loves to dream and her imagination is impressive. As a big dreamer myself, I understood Kittys love of her dreamland. Ive had more than a few occasions where I was abruptly woken and I think, “Wait, I want to finish my dream. ” And, Ive had the occasions where I... The Bookseller is a first-time novel for Cynthia Swanson. Katharyn/Kitty, the main character kept me engrossed in this novel from page one. In the Bookseller, Swanson takes us on a startling journey where a woman is thrust into an alternate world that might have been, if she had made different decisions. The Bookseller is a wonderful exploration of identity, love and loss. The 1960's tone is elegant, slightly mysterious, and thoroughly engrossing. The Bookseller's plot fascinated me, was well... What an interesting concept. When Kitty Miller goes to sleep she is in a different life only a few months ahead of where she is now in her life. She is married with three kids. In her real life she is single running a bookstore with her best friend Frieda. Her dreams feel very real with her and she is finding out there are parts of her dreams she likes and parts of her awake life she likes. There are also parts that are disappointing in both lives. But are they really dreams. I really enjoyed... Kitty wakes up and she's not in her bedroom. She is in an unfamiliar room, but the last thing she remembers is painting her bedroom with help from her best friend and co-owner of their bookstore. What has happened? So begins Cynthia Swanson's compelling novel, The Bookseller. A handsome man comes into the unfamiliar room, claiming to be her husband, and reminding her that she has two young children who need her, one of whom is running a fever. But Kitty is not married and does not have children... It's tough to say much about this book without giving away the entire plot. It's 1962 and Kitty is torn between two lives. One in which she's a conventional married mother of triplets, and the other where she's a single 38 year old woman who runs a small bookshop with her long time best friend Frieda. Presented in dreams and flashbacks the mystery is of course trying to figure out which parts are reality. The book references are fun, and what mother hasn't wondered what life would have been like... I went back and forth two or three stars. The writing quality was excellent but the plot construction was poor with a big- losing the reader why am I even reading this middle. The end was neatly done with a good twist and I can see what the writer was trying to accomplish. A Character moping around is not a good plot device. A rewrite would have done wonders for this book. I've often wondered what my life would be like if a different path had been taken- both literally and figuratively. Debut author Cynthia Swanson tackles this idea with her novel The Bookseller, in which a woman must reconcile the life she currently has with one that she could have had if things had been different. The alternate life begins to haunt her in her dreams, so much so that she starts to question her own reality. Set in the 1960s with countless cultural references (including books that... 1. 99 on 02/08/17 It was okay, I came close to calling it quits more than once. Im not sure what I was expecting but it was disappointing. My rating is more a 2. 5. I often buy sale books, this one didnt work for me. I could not connect with Kitty at all. Ready to move on! I so enjoyed reading this book. The premise was one that immediately intrigued me and I just knew I had to read it. From the moment I started the book I knew it was going to be one that would keep me up reading late in to the night. I felt as if I really got to know Kitty (Katharyn) and could really feel and understand her struggle between her real life and her imaginary life. Once I reached about the middle of the book I found that I did not want to put it down! There were many questions I had... I purposely didn't read any reviews of this book while I was reading it. I didn't want anything to spoil my read! Kitty Miller and Frieda Green are best buds, have been that way since high school, and now they own a small bookstore "Sisters Bookshop" in Denver. But do they? Kitty keeps having recurring dreams. She's not Kitty - she's Katharyn and she's living a totally different life. She's married. She even has kids in these dreams. She loves the dreams but she loves coming back to her real... Cynthia Swansons debut, THE BOOKSELLER is a stunning, dreamlike, intriguing story of two worlds. One troubled woman in search of a different life. Caught between two mysterious worlds; confusing fact and fiction. This remarkable novel will transport you to another place. It is almost, spellbinding. Katharyn (Kitty) operates Sisters, a Denver bookstore she owns with her best friend, Frieda. She is single, loves her apartment and her lifestyle. They have been friends for years and worked so... I bought the ebook for 2. 99 and as such had very low expectations. It was a total impulse buy and honestly I wouldn't have cared too much if it had ended up disappointing me. I use Kindle sales to broaden my horizons and read books outside my comfort zone and/or by authors who are completely new to me. For some reason, I rarely end up giving them 5 stars. This time, though, I was rewarded with a book that far exceeded my wildest expectations. Things I loved (in no particular order. the... This is an original, evocative, beautifully written novel with a compelling story. Though it bounces from her real life—where shes Kitty—into a dream life in which she goes by Katharyn and she has to figure out how this other life works by guessing, asking what must seem like silly questions, or sometimes remembering things suddenly—you as the reader are never confused about whether shes in her real life as a single women working alongside her friend at a struggling book store or a married... A page-turner. The story happened in 1962-1963, and the author managed to incorporate lots of historical events into the storyline. For example: The Cuban missile crisis, the Kennedy's, Giants playing in the World Series, Gone with the Wind, and many books that I've never heard of (after all, she's a bookseller, no. The reading experience (I couldn't put down the book in the beginning) and the setting are a solid 4, but the plot planning and technique are a 3 - by the middle of the book...

Annuities are sold by insurance companies or financial institutions and are essentially investment products in which you invest a lump sum and receive scheduled pay outs for a period of time or in some cases, for life. Before purchasing or investing in an annuity, it is crucial to learn which product suits your lifestyle, financial requirements, and care needs. If you have already invested in an annuity, you can sell your payments to be financially independent and meet your current expenses. To help you make an informed decision, you require to understand the different types of annuities available in the market. Annuities are essentially of five types. They are: Fixed: Fixed annuities are designed to suit the needs of retirees who aim to live on a modest but guaranteed income. Fixed annuities are investments that offer an interest and are typically issued by insurance companies or banks. You can chose whether you wish withdraw an income immediately or can defer it to a later life stage. Variable: Variable annuities allow you to choose from a wide range of mutual funds, which can be used to guarantee an income irrespective of how the worlds markets perform. If youre looking at capital appreciation in addition to a guaranteed income, a variable annuity is for you. Fixed Indexed: Do you wish to invest in an annuity that combines fixed and variable features? If yes, the fixed indexed annuity is an ideal choice. A fixed indexed annuity offers you a guaranteed income and allows you to participate in the market. Deferred: A deferred annuity provides you with an income stream only from the date determined by you. By investing in a deferred annuity you not only increase your savings but also your future income. This type of annuity is ideal for retirees who desire to have a guaranteed income in the future. Immediate: The mechanisms of an immediate annuity are very similar to an insurance policy. Instead of paying monthly premiums, an immediate annuity will need a lump-sum payment, which provides a regular income for life starting immediately. Why would you sell an annuity? Whether you need to pay for a medical emergency or wish to buy a new home, selling your annuity can help you control your finances and avoid debt. If youre keen on selling your annuity payments, you should find out about your selling options. There are two major ways of selling your annuity, which are partial surrender and complete selling. Partial surrender: If you wish to meet an immediate expense such as an expensive hospital bill, withdrawing from your annuity can be a solution. If youre already receiving an income from your annuities, you cannot make a withdrawal. But, if you have invested in a deferred annuity, you will be able to withdraw a lump sum from your account. If the withdrawal amount exceeds the limit set by your insurance company, you may have to pay surrender fees. Selling in entirety: If you feel you have a need that a partial withdrawal cannot meet, selling your entire annuity can be of help. You can sell all your annuity payments to a third-party settlement purchasing company, which will provide you with a lump sum amount. You may not have to pay surrender charges if you sell your annuity payments. Safe ways of selling annuity payments If youre planning to sell your entire annuity, you would first need to get in touch with an annuity buyer, who can provide you with impartial advice with regards to your financial situation. Often, dealing with insurance companies on the selling of annuity payments can be stressful; which is why finding the right buyer is important. All annuity sales are governed by the Federal law, which ensures that you receive an impartial hearing. An annuity buyer will represent you to the insurance company and the court. The buyer will also manage all the paper work required in addition to ensuring the changes you desire are implemented. Once both you and the insurance company authorize a sale, approved by the court, the annuity buyer can deposit the lump sum into your account or issue you a check. There are many external factors that may impact the selling of annuity payments, which include tax implications, value of the annuity and the discount rates applicable. In most cases, you may be required to sell your annuity at a discounted rate to ensure a sale. The discount rate is determined by possible future interest rates and the current value of your annuity. In addition to determining the exact value of your investment, you will also need to be aware of the tax implications involved. The duration of the selling process depends on the court and the judge, which varies in every location. When the court approves the sale, you can be sure of receiving a payment within 72 hours. You may wish to sell your annuity if: You need to pay off a loan Buy a new home Start a business Buy a new vehicle Pay for a childs college fees Medical expenses Long-term care Loss of employment Paying off debts Inherited annuity Suffering from injuries Selling annuity payments can spell the end of financial troubles. Why wait and put your life on hold when you can get it back on track by selling your annuity payments.
