Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memoryby Elizabeth Rosner

Named a Best Book of the Year by The San Francisco Chronicle

“Survivor Café…feels like the book Rosner was born to write. Each page is imbued with urgency, with sincerity, with heartache, with heart…. Her words, alongside the words of other survivors of atrocity and their descendants across the globe, can help us build a more humane world.” —San Francisco Chronicle

As firsthand survivors of many of the twentieth century’s most monumental events–the Holocaust, Hiroshima, the Killing Fields–begin to pass away, Survivor Café addresses urgent questions: How do we carry those stories forward? How do we collectively ensure that the horrors of the past are not forgotten?

Elizabeth Rosner organizes her book around three trips with her father to Buchenwald concentration camp–in 1983, in 1995, and in 2015–each journey an experience in which personal history confronts both commemoration and memorialization. She explores the echoes of similar legacies among descendants of African American slaves, descendants of Cambodian survivors of the Killing Fields, descendants of survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the effects of 9/11 on the general population. Examining current brain research, Rosner depicts the efforts to understand the intergenerational inheritance of trauma, as well as the intricacies of remembrance in the aftermath of atrocity. Survivor Café becomes a lens for numerous constructs of memory–from museums and commemorative sites to national reconciliation projects to small-group cross-cultural encounters.

Beyond preserving the firsthand testimonies of participants and witnesses, individuals and societies must continually take responsibility for learning the painful lessons of the past in order to offer hope for the future. Survivor Café offers a clear-eyed sense of the enormity of our twenty-first-century human inheritance–not only among direct descendants of the Holocaust but also in the shape of our collective responsibility to learn from tragedy, and to keep the ever-changing conversations alive between the past and the present.

Pears and Perilsby Drew Hayes

Most people would be overjoyed to win $50,000 and the chance to star in a nation-wide commercial, even if it was just for a fast food joint like Camelot Burger. Then again, Clint Tucker has never been like most people. Ushered to the tropical paradise of Kenowai, he and the other winners undertake an island tradition for the cameras, one meant to free a local imprisoned deity. One with very specific requirements that have yet to be met. One that might just be a bit more authentic than any of them expected. One that will begin a journey fraught with danger, excitement, and more beer than is wise or healthy.

What people are saying:

“Riveting. Ground Breaking. Truly Impressive.” – People talking about a shipment of tools in a hardware store.

“It’s a masterful piece of fiction with laugh out loud humor and sparkling characters. There, I said it, now get the hell out of my house and leave me alone!” –Some guy we thought worked for the Wall Street Journal. (We were way wrong on that one)

Red Gold (A Gabe McKenna Mystery Book 1)by Robert D. Kidera

Brand New Manby Weston Parker

It’s always been about the money.

To them. Not me.

Women swoon over my wallet, but it’s a façade. A ruse.

I keep to myself and always will.

Besides, one thing I’ve learned is you never pursue romantic relationships at work.

Especially not as the boss. The billionaire. The top shit.

A girl from my past shows up at a fundraiser. The one that got away in college.

She needs help changing the city for the better with a children’s home, but I have different ideas.

Crazily enough, the more money I spend, the more time I get with her.

And this time, I’m willing to pull out all the stops.

It’s hard not to slip back into my old ways, but this woman is the one.

She makes me want to be a brand new man.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
