Book Description
If he had been with me everything would have been different... I wasn't with Finn on that August night. But I should've been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it's not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know—the cause of the argument—is crucial. So let me tell you...

Book Description
A perfect marriage reveals its dark secrets in this psychological thriller of a devoted wife, her veteran husband, and a shocking murder. Maddie and Ian’s love story began with a chance encounter at a party overseas; he was serving in the British Army and she was a travel writer visiting her best friend, Jo. Now almost two decades later, married with a beautiful son, Charlie, they are living the perfect suburban life in Middle America. But when a camping accident leaves Maddie badly scarred, she begins attending writing therapy, where she gradually reveals her fears about Ian’s PTSD; her concerns for the safety of their young son; and the couple’s tangled and tumultuous past with Jo. From the Balkans to England, Iraq to Manhattan, and finally to an ordinary family home in Kansas, sixteen years of love and fear, adventure and suspicion culminate in The Day of the Killing, when a frantic 911 call summons the police to the scene of a shocking crime.

Book Description
National Book Award finalist Mary Gaitskill’s debut collection, Bad Behavior—powerful stories about dislocation, longing, and desire which depict a disenchanted and rebellious urban fringe generation that is searching for human connection. Now a classic, Bad Behavior made critical waves when it first published, heralding Gaitskill’s arrival on the literary scene and her establishment as one of the sharpest, erotically charged, and audaciously funny writing talents of contemporary literature. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times called it “Pinteresque,” saying, “Ms. Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail, that she is able to make even the most extreme situations seem real…her reportorial candor, uncompromised by sentimentality or voyeuristic charm…underscores the strength of her debut.”

Book Description
Is it an exciting novel? Is it instructional? Is it about self- improvement? Is it a great cookbook? Is it about romance and lust? Is it about horror and crime? Am I a famous selling author? Am I a celebrity? It is none of these things. What it is, is an autobiography about me. It is an expose', it is truthful and factual. It is my life story, the good, bad and ugly. It is also very funny. Who else would lose the end of a stethoscope under a women's pendulous breast, or fall in wet concrete head to toe? Or, chase large bullfrogs through a hotel lobby. Or, being exposed to bestiality in Mexico at the tender age of 15. Or popping a cork on my wedding night. Or taking tap dancing and ballroom dancing at the ripe old age of 13 with 12 girls? I think it is an interesting, exciting funny book. My life is now an OPEN book. I highly recommend reading it and if you enjoy it, look for my next book re-living my travels and celebrity encounters and much more. For me, this has been an enlightening experience. SETH S. SCHURMAN, M.D. Physician/Author
