This “satisfying send-up of a design primer . . . presents lessons in hostile faucetry, blinding fluorescents and vicious exposed ductwork.” —The New York Times True modernity requires much more than discipline, vision, and a willingness to live without upper kitchen cabinets. It’s Lonely in the Modern World outlines exactly what’s required to achieve sleek design and the requisite ennui. From the creators of the Unhappy Hipsters website, this essential guide is to hipsters what The Official Preppy Handbook was to prepsters. The authors advise on a number of topics. Readers will learn how to navigate the vast array of concrete finishes and plywood grades, accessorize with children and pets, and opine with authority on rooflines. Featuring detailed illustrations, beautifully staged photos, and helpful charts, this master manual is perfect for aspiring modernists, those who love them, and, of course, those who love to hate them.

The instant New York Times bestseller and publishing phenomenon: Marina Keegan’s posthumous collection of award-winning essays and stories “sparkles with talent, humanity, and youth” (O, The Oprah Magazine). Marina Keegan’s star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at The New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. Marina left behind a rich, deeply expansive trove of writing that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation. Her short story “Cold Pastoral” was published on NewYorker.com. Her essay “Even Artichokes Have Doubts” was excerpted in the Financial Times, and her book was the focus of a Nicholas Kristof column in The New York Times. Millions of her contemporaries have responded to her work on social media. As Marina wrote: “We can still do anything. We can change our minds. We can start over…We’re so young. We can’t, we MUST not lose this sense of possibility because in the end, it’s all we have.” The Opposite of Loneliness is an unforgettable collection of Marina’s essays and stories that articulates the universal struggle all of us face as we figure out what we aspire to be and how we can harness our talents to impact the world. “How do you mourn the loss of a fiery talent that was barely a tendril before it was snuffed out? Answer: Read this book. A clear-eyed observer of human nature, Keegan could take a clever idea...and make it something beautiful” (People).

One of The Guardian’s “1,000 Books to Read Before You Die” This underrated classic of contemporary Irish literature tells the “utterly transfixing” story of a lonely, poverty-stricken spinster in 1950s Belfast (The Boston Globe) Judith Hearne is an unmarried woman of a certain age who has come down in society. She has few skills and is full of the prejudices and pieties of her genteel Belfast upbringing. But Judith has a secret life. And she is just one heartbreak away from revealing it to the world. Hailed by Graham Greene, Thomas Flanagan, and Harper Lee alike, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne is an unflinching and deeply sympathetic portrait of a woman destroyed by self and circumstance. First published in 1955, it marked Brian Moore as a major figure in English literature (he would go on to be short-listed three times for the Booker Prize) and established him as an astute chronicler of the human soul. “Seldom in modern fiction has any character been revealed so completely or been made to seem so poignantly real.” —The New York Times

Are you living a lonely and confusing life with your husband or significant other? Are you often taken aback by something your partner has said or done with no regard for your feelings? Are friends and family members puzzled by your unhappiness? Does your man seem like a real catch to them? If any of these questions make you nod, this book is for you. The real-life stories within these pages will shed some light on a largely secret world. A world inside the homes of women married to men that are different. Men who don't think like other men. Men who are often misunderstood because they may be autistic, and the people around them don't know it. If you're involved with a man who may be on the autism spectrum, this book is your peek into the lives of other women in your situation. The stories are profound and will provide you with those 'aha' moments of solid validation. You may simply know that something is not okay. You might think that everything falls on you. You may think something is wrong with you. You are not alone. Maybe he's not just 'being a guy'-maybe he's autistic. Welcome to our homes and our world.
