WW Norton & Co Gumbo Life Tales from the Roux Bayou
Book SynopsisA sprightly, deeply personal narrative about how gumbo—for 250 years a Cajun and Creole secret—has become one of the world’s most beloved dishes.Trade Review"When Ken Wells was editor at the Wall Street Journal, he glanced round the newsroom and observed: ‘I’m the only one in here who knows how to skin a squirrel.’ There’s no recipe for squirrel gumbo in this mouthwatering culinary memoir, but there is a vivid account of Wells’ languid bayou childhood and the history and personalities who seasoned it. There could be no better guide to this unique American subculture than Bonnie’s boy from Bayou Black." -- Geraldine Brooks, author of March and People of the Book"Ken Wells was to the gumbo born. Enhancing that felicitous beginning, he has traveled the Gumbo Belt researching, recording, and—most importantly—savoring the myriad interpretations of the iconic Louisiana soup. He even has recipes, including two of my favorites. (I’m not telling which ones!) Like a dense, flavorful gumbo filled with tastes of the region, this is a book to savor." -- Jessica Harris, author of High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America"Ken Wells knows gumbo, and from whence it comes. And gumbo, and its sources, are profoundly tasty things to know." -- Roy Blount Jr., author of Save Room for Pie"A piquant history of gumbo… This is required reading for gumbo aficionados and addicts, and those who aspire to be." -- Publishers Weekly"Affectionate portrait of that favorite Cajun comfort food and the tradition from which it came. . . . [A] gently spun tale with a few recipes that foodies will want to test immediately. A tasty treat." -- Kirkus Reviews"Wells has meticulously traced [gumbo’s] influences, and he has visited a host of eateries to find every sort of variation on gumbo, from the most high-toned French Quarter restaurants to the celebrated historic precincts of Leah Chase’s iconic diner. . . . Anyone fondly recalling gumbo in its myriad guises will find plenty to savor here." -- Booklist

WW Norton & Co Northland A 4000Mile Journey Along Americas
Book Synopsis“Romantic, urgent, valuable and appealing as hell.” —Andrew McCarthy, New York Times Book ReviewTrade Review"Northland… [has] that touch of jump and sparkle that every good travelogue needs." -- Peter Lewis - Christian Science Monitor"Part adventure, some history, and a little bit Studs Terkel, filled with encounters with people as diverse as the landscape." -- Jon Foro - Amazon Book Review"Fox is an excellent guide, capturing the majesty of the Northland’s diverse geology, flora, weather and seasons." -- Peter Geye - Minneapolis Star Tribune"In a time when no borders should be ignored—when ICE and ice are indifferent to human lives—a travelogue like Fox’s, freighted with history and hope, blood and bone and snow, is all the more important." -- B. David Zarley, Paste magazine"Fox’s borderland journal offers a poignant reminder of the shared history of two nations and the contentious nature of the border line." -- Laurence A. Marschall - Natural History"Deeply researched [and] beautifully written.… [Fox is] a hell of a writer, and Northland paints a vivid portrait of the Canadian border." -- Tom Bie, Drake magazine"Fox is an amiable, entertaining guide to the past and present of this porous, rugged border with Canada.… [Northland is] an engaging travel memoir that highlights the lives of those who dwell on our northern edge." -- Bruce Jacobs - Shelf Awareness"[Fox is] adept at… capturing the natural beauty and ancient landscapes of the borderlands.… [His] travels uncover a secret: this largely ignored border is key to the U.S. economy… and it will loom large if and when America’s more easily accessible natural resources become depleted." -- Publishers Weekly"In this sweeping account of the northern boundary of the U.S., Fox… moves seamlessly between geologic and human time scales.… He narrates his own travels with keen observation, attuned to the special details that set each place apart, and speaks to fascinating people along the way who have shaped their lives, in one way or another, around the border.… Although this boundary line is, for the most part, invisible, Fox finds that it still leaves an indelible mark on the places and people it touches." -- Booklist"Richly populated with fascinating northlanders, Native Americans, and many border patrol agents, this is highly entertaining and informative travel literature." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Penguin Putnam Inc Every Frenchman Has One
Book SynopsisBack in print for the first time in decades—and featuring a new interview with the author, in celebration of her centennial birthday—the delectable escapades of Hollywood legend Olivia de Havilland, who fell in love with a Frenchman—and then became a Parisian In 1953, Olivia de Havilland—already an Academy Award-winning actress for her roles in To Each His Own and The Heiress—became the heroine of her own real-life love affair. She married a Frenchman, moved to Paris, and planted her standard on the Left Bank of the River Seine. It has been fluttering on both Left and Right Banks with considerable joy and gaiety from that moment on. Still, her transition from Hollywood celebrity to parisienne was anything but easy. And in Every Frenchman Has One, her skirmishes with French customs, French maids, French salesladies, French holidays, French law, French doctors, and above all, theTrade ReviewNew York Times Bestseller“Delightfully witty... [de Havilland's] tone might be playful, but her talent was, and is, serious.”—Entertainment Weekly“Charming, cheeky fun...[with] plenty of nostalgic pleasure.”—Vogue.com“Sensational.”—Parade.com (13 Summer Reads That Are Must-Haves for the Beach)“I found myself supremely enchanted by Every Frenchman Has One....[L]ittle did I imagine that this tome inspired by her 1953 move to Paris following her marriage...would reveal such a marvelous reserve of mischievous wit and self-deprecating humor.... Like a delicious collection of bon bons waiting to be gobbled, juicy anecdotal material is mined from an array of inviting topics.... A charming book.”—Susan Wloszczyna, Buffalo News“An undiluted pleasure.”—Peter Tonguette, Columbus Dispatch“A light-hearted but also penetrating look at adjusting to French life…[with a] surprisingly vibrant sense of humor.” —Martin Rubin, Washington Times “Delightful.”—People“Disarmingly self-deprecating...[an] amusing outsider look at Paris.”—Huffington Post“An unending battle with law, custom, society, fashion… sales clerk and landlord… Who laughs last laughs best. She does and you along with her.”—New York Herald Tribune“A rib-tickler… excellent.”—New York Mirror “Lively and pleasant… wicked and roguish.”—Oakland Tribune “Nostalgic, provocative.”—New York Times“Miss de Havilland Tells All…”—Chicago Tribune “Her seven-year stint as Mme.

Book SynopsisNATIONAL BESTSELLER • James and Deborah Fallows have always moved to where history is being made.... They have an excellent sense of where world-shaping events are taking place at any moment —The New York Times • The basis for the HBO documentary streaming on HBO Max For five years, James and Deborah Fallows have travelled across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves. Their view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy,
