Andrew Young volunteered for the John Edwards campaign for Senate in 1998 and quickly became the candidate’s right hand man. In time, Young was drawn into a series of questionable assignments that culminated with Edwards asking him to help conceal his ongoing adultery. Days before the 2008 presidential primaries began, Young gained international notoriety when he told the world that he was the father of a child being carried by a woman named Rielle Hunter, who was actually the senator’s mistress. Young had been the senator’s closest aide and most trusted friend. He believed that Edwards could be a great president, and was assured throughout the cover-up that his boss and friend would ultimately step forward to both tell the truth and protect his aide’s career. Neither promise was kept...

TALENTED MISS HIGHSMITH
by
Joan Schenkar
(9780312303754,

Patricia Highsmith, one of the great writers of 20th Century American fiction, had a life as darkly compelling as that of her favourite “hero-criminal,” talented Tom Ripley. The Talented Miss Highsmith is the first literary biography with access to Highsmith's whole story: her closest friends, her oeuvre, and her archives. It's a compulsive page-turner unlike any other, a book worthy of Highsmith herself.
The Talented Miss Highsmith continues to receive great Canadian reviews. Both the Winnipeg Free Press and the Halifax Chronicle Herald ran glowing reviews on Saturday, January 30th.
“Still, Highsmith is such an opaque person, such an unclassifiable artist, that it's hard to imagine pinning her down in a standard chronological set-up. Schenkar meets compulsion with compulsion in this massive work, with strange, unsettling, Highsmithian results.” —Winnipeg Free Press
“The Talented Miss Highsmith is an utterly compulsive read”—Halifax Chronicle Herald
“[Schenkar] writes with great authority and perverse affection.”—National Post
RAVENS GIFT
by
Jon Turk
(9780312540210,

In a remote Siberian village, Jon Turk met an elderly Koryak shaman named Moolynaut who invoked the help of a Spirit Raven to mend his fractured pelvis. When the healing was complete, he was able to walk without pain. Turk, finding no rational explanation, sought understanding by traversing the frozen tundra where Moolynaut was born, camping with bands of reindeer herders, and recording stories of their lives and spirituality. Framed by high adventure across the vast and forbidding Siberian landscape, The Raven’s Gift creates a vision of natural and spiritual realms interwoven by one man’s awakening.
Turk is currently on a Cross Canada tour and will be doing media throughout.
