Duke University Press The Rock of Arles
Book SynopsisRichard Klein tells the millennia-spanning history of the city of Arles, France, from the perspective of the limestone eminence upon which it sits, showing how the city has always had a spirit that contested the reactionary conservative forces of the Church and nobility that governed it for fifteen centuries.Trade Review“In The Rock of Arles, Richard Klein revels in the role of an immensely imaginative ghostwriter. His fearlessly spirited prose records the views of the Rock—a grand personification that mixes semi-omniscience with interrogation and speculation—on an Arles that rivals Rome as the emblematic City of Humanity. The daringly revelatory result is a mock history—at times extravagantly and hilariously fictionalized yet at moments urgently compelling—of the Western world.” -- Philip Lewis, Professor Emeritus of French Literature, Cornell University“The Rock of Arles is an urban history we didn’t know we needed and a history we wouldn’t have known at all except through its opinionated and often very funny orographic narrator. We take seriously what the Rock tells us about the past and our possible future not despite but because of its charmingly brazen fictiveness. This delightful book thwarts expectations; its queer history is of the moment and its form entirely sui generis . . . at least until other rocks decide to follow the Rock’s example.” -- Andrew Parker, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, Rutgers University"An engaging, enjoyable read. A brief but pithy, informative piece of work, representing a unique approach to history writing." * Kirkus Reviews *Table of ContentsAuthor's Note ix Prologue xi I. Urbs Dupleix 1 II.

HarperCollins Big in Sweden
Book Synopsis“Sally Franson is a world class entertainer. She can finesse a serio-comic moment in a way that leaves you catching your breath. Deft and delicious, this book is a flat out delight machine. A heart opener, a page turner, and a true ‘originell!'' I laughed out loud, I ugly cried, and I never, ever wanted it to end. -- Meg Ryan, actor, writer, directorA charming, wise, and laugh-out-loud funny novel following an American woman competing on a Swedish reality show in an attempt to discover her roots. Paulie Johansson has never put much stock in the idea of family: she has her long-term boyfriend Declan and beloved best friend Jemma, and that’s more than enough for her. Yet one night on a lark, she lets Jemma convince her to audition for Sverige och Mig, a show on Swedish television where Swedish-Americans compete to win the ultimate prize: a reunion with their Swedish relatives. Much to her shock, her drunken submission video wins her a spot on the show, and against Declan’s advice Paulie decides to go for it.Armed with her Polaroid camera, a beat-up copy of Pippi Longstocking, and an unquenchable sense of possibility, Paulie hops on a plane to Sweden and launches into the contest with seven other Americans, all under the watchful eye of a camera crew. At first, Paulie is certain that she and her competitors have nothing in common besides their passports and views their bloodthirsty ambitions with suspicion. Yet amid the increasingly absurd challenges—rowing from Denmark to Sweden in the freezing rain, battling through obstacle courses, competing in a pickled herring eating contest—Paulie finds herself rethinking her snap judgments about her fellow countrymen, while her growing attachment to her Swedish roots increases her resolve to win the competition herself.Grappling with long-held notions of family, friendship, and love—not to mention her feelings for the distractingly handsome Swedish cameraman who’s been assigned to follow her around—Paulie starts to reconsider her past and rethink what she wants for the future. A fish-out-of-water tale filled with warmth, optimism, and wit, Big in Sweden is at its heart a love story: love for family, friends, country, and—most importantly—oneself. If you devoured Pippi Longstocking as a kid, you will not be able to turn away from Big in Sweden. Reading this hilarious, heartfelt book was even more fun than watching reality television. I absolutely loved it! — Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane
