När en äldre kvinna avlider leder det till en serie händelser. Två män mördas som en följd av hennes död och flera svävar i omedelbar fara. Samtidigt anklagas en kurator på Vrinnevisjukhuset i Norrköping för bedrägeri och han är ganska säker på vem som ligger bekom anklagelserna men blir allt mer osäker när mystiken tätnar. Två olika brottsutredningar vävs samman när de två poliserna Albert Emanuelsson och Jan Strandvalls vägar korsas. Fyrtio år tidigare har den 10-åriga pojken Joe en het sommardag bestämt sig för att rymma hemifrån för att undkomma sin far. Pojkens öde får konsekvenser många år senare. Det som hände då får en våldsam upplösning där det blir en kamp mot tiden. Handlingen utspelar sig i Östergötland och norra Småland.
“Gnistrar av smärta och alkohol, den här hudlösa och grovkorniga romanen kan tveklöst ställas sida vid sida med det bästa och mest hårdslående hos Jim Thompson och Harry Crews. Den är tajt, otäck, och originell." ? Kirkus Reviews“En obönhörlig, ofta rolig roman med en kärna lika mörk som deltanatten.” ? Entertainment Weekly“Kräver att bli läst, omläst, omtalad, och avnjuten.” ? Booklist“Larry Brown är på väg att etablera sig som en av de mest autentiska litterära rösterna i vår generation… Det är en röst lika sann som ett vapenställ, opretentiös och okorrumperad, full av kvickhet och sorg.” ? Baltimore Evening SunJoe Ransom, kåkfarare, ex-make, suput, närmar sig femtio men har inga planer på att varva ner — vare sig det gäller kvinnor, alkohol, vapen eller hastigheten med vilken han färdas i sin nedgångna pickup längs Mississippis vindlande grusvägar. Gary Jones uppskattar sin egen ålder till omkring femton år. Född in i en hopplös, hemlös, kringflackande familj söker han förtvivlat efter utväg.När deras vägar korsas erbjuder Joe honom en chans just som hans egna är på väg att för evigt gå förlorade. Det handlar om återuppståndelse eller undergång.Larry Brown föddes 1951 i Oxford, Mississippi. Han skrev både skönlitteratur och sakprosa, nio böcker allt som allt. Han tog examen från high school i Oxford men gick inte på college. Mellan 1970 och 1972 tjänstgjorde han i Amerikanska marinkåren. Efter sin återkomst till Oxford arbetade han på ett litet spisföretag innan han anslöt sig till stadens brandkår. Som ivrig läsare började Brown skriva på sin fritid medan han arbetade som brandman i Oxford år 1980.Brown har tilldelats en mängd litterära priser, bland annat Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters för skönlitteratur, Lila Wallace-Readers Digest Award och Thomas Wolfe Award. Han blev den första tvåfaldiga vinnaren av Southern Book Award for Fiction, som han vann 1992 för romanen Joe och igen 1997 för romanen Father and Son. År 2000 tilldelade delstaten Mississippi honom en Governor's Award For Excellence in the Arts.Brown avled i en hjärtattack i sitt hem i Yocona, nära Oxford, Mississippi i november 2004. Han blev 53 år.Initierat efterord av Cleanth Brooks.Fler röster röster om Joe:“Litteratur av högsta klass… Ett kraftigt nät spunnet av en säker, tålmodig hand… Hans karaktärer bara är. De påminner om familjen Joad i John Steinbecks Vredens druvor och bilderna och människorna i James Agees och Walker Evans Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Det är en nogräknad, kraftfull, vacker frammaning av en plats, en tid, ett folk. Det är en bok som kommer att bestå.” ? Detroit Free Press“Självlysande prosa härdad av kvickhet.” ?The New York Times Book Review“Kärnfull och lyrisk.” ? Los Angeles Times “Med denna mäktiga roman om det lortfattiga Mississippi… kommer Brown till sin fulla rätt och belyser sina karaktärers smärtsamma liv med medkänsla och vältalighet.” ? Publishers Weekly“Siktar mot strupen… Smärtsamt ärlig… En fokuserad, driven berättelse.”? Chicago Sun-Times“Mästerlig… Det finns inte en dålig mening i den här boken. Joe är tuffare än en natt i en finka i Georgia.” ? The Kansas City Star“Browns röst är tillräckligt utmärkande för att det ska bli omöjligt att förväxla den med någon annan författare… Vad han än skriver kommer jag läsa.” ? Harry Crews“Frambringar en egendomlig och övertygande skönhet… Fyller en med vällust, bävan, och sorg.” ? The Memphis Commercial Appeal“Det finns mycket att gilla och beundra i Joe… Det är ingen liten bedrift Brown utför när han visar oss att ondskan kan underhålla… att djävulen kan få oss att skratta.” ? Los Angeles Times“En tragisk, fängslande ny roman.” ? The Associated Press“Lysande… Larry Brown har smackat på sin alldeles egna färska tatuering på den litterära Söderns stora högerarm.” ? The Washington Post Book World“Brown har släppt lös all sin hantverkskicklighet i den här berättelsen.” ? The Denver Post“Joe förskräcker, stöter bort, men fascinerar i slutändan… Larry Brown är en författare vars språk och fantasi bildar motvikt till det allra värsta livet har att erbjuda; en romanförfattare med ovanlig kraft.” ? William Kennedy, författare till Järngräs

A leading photographer, bestselling author and prize-winning designer lend their visions and voices to this unique collaboration. When renowned Hiroshi Sugimoto was invited to photograph the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, St. Louis, his attention immediately focused on an immense steel sculpture, Richard Serra's Joe, one of the artist's torqued spirals, which occupies a small courtyard of the museum. Joe allows viewers to walk in through a narrow passage between towering, sloping walls. The path leads to a surprising central space from which only the curving steel walls and the sky are visible. Combining extremely soft light and blurred darkness, Sugimoto's pictures in this book capture the elliptical nature of Serra's piece. His images are complemented by the words of Jonathan Safran Foer, whose affecting prose poem - about an "average Joe" experiencing the circular passage of time - echoes, without directly referencing, Serra's sculpture. Designed by Takaaki Matsumoto, this beautiful, large-format book features tritone reproductions printed on luxurious uncoated stock. The result is an eloquent and visually arresting commentary on time, impermanence, and memory.

Newly updated, the definitive biography of the forty-seventh Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, which examines the fascinating life of a man who has shaped Washington politics for more than four decades, including his years in the Obama White House.Raised in the working-class towns of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, and with lackluster grades in school and no particular goals, Joe Biden shocked the nation in 1972 when he became one of the youngest elected senators in U.S. history. Over the course of four decades, he carved a legacy for himself as one of the most respected legislators in the country, and was a close friend and partner to President Barack Obama, who valued his vice president's vast experience in domestic and foreign affairs.Yet Biden's political success has been matched by personal tragedy and countless challenges. Within two months of being elected in 1972, Biden lost his wife, Neilia, and his young daughter in a tragic accident--a loss that brought him to the nadir of despair and shook his resolve to stay in politics. He suffered two brain aneurysms and career-threatening gaffes and miscues. In 2015, he lost his eldest son, Beau, to brain cancer. Now, Biden is back in the spotlight as the frontrunner in a crowded Democratic field challenging Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election.Based on exhaustive research by one of Washington's most prolific journalists, including numerous exclusive interviews with Biden's confidants and family members, as well as President Obama and the former vice president himself, Joe Biden goes beyond conventional biography to track the forces that have shaped a man who, with his plainspoken style and inspiring life story, has resonated with millions of Americans and whose work has shaped modern American life.

IT WAS past three o'clock in the morning when Joe Calzaghe experienced the sweetest validation of his professional life. Victory over Jeff Lacy, a 28-year-old American compared to a young Mike Tyson because of his power and "take-no-prisoners attitude", left no one in doubt about the world super middleweight champion's talent. For years, Calzaghe's virtuosity remained a legend of the Welsh valleys. His defeat in 1997 of Chris Eubank brought him to prominence, winning for him the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) super middleweight title. But despite a record number of defences of the belt, his career lacked a defining contest. A long line of challengers and ex-titleholders were disposed of but the biggest names in American boxing avoided the ultimate showdown he craved. Hand injuries further obscured the true level of his aptitude for an art he began to learn from his father, Enzo, at the age of eight when - inspired by Sugar Ray Leonard - a rolled-up carpet in the family home in Newbridge became a makeshift heavy bag.This is the story of Calzaghe's extraordinary life, from his humble beginnings in his hometown of Newbridge, to his ascent to personal greatness, becoming the first super middleweight boxer to win the prized belt awarded by The Ring, the bible of boxing, in the division's near 20-year history. One of Britain's foremost sporting champions, a warrior and working-class hero, this is the story of the triumphs and trials that made Calzaghe a legend.

Perfectly intelligent programmers often struggle when forced to work with SQL. Why? Joe Celko believes the problem lies with their procedural programming mindset, which keeps them from taking full advantage of the power of declarative languages. The result is overly complex and inefficient code, not to mention lost productivity.This book will change the way you think about the problems you solve with SQL programs.. Focusing on three key table-based techniques, Celko reveals their power through detailed examples and clear explanations. As you master these techniques, you’ll find you are able to conceptualize problems as rooted in sets and solvable through declarative programming. Before long, you’ll be coding more quickly, writing more efficient code, and applying the full power of SQL
Joe Celko's Data, Measurements and Standards in SQL

Joe Celko has looked deep into the code of SQL programmers and found a consistent and troubling pattern - a frightening lack of consistency between their individual encoding schemes and those of the industries in which they operate. This translates into a series of incompatible databases, each one an island unto itself that is unable to share information with others in an age of internationalization and business interdependence. Such incompatibility severely hinders information flow and the quality of company data. Data, Measurements and Standards in SQL reveals the shift these programmers need to make to overcome this deadlock. By collecting and detailing the diverse standards of myriad industries, and then giving a declaration for the units that can be used in an SQL schema, Celko enables readers to write and implement portable data that can interface to any number of external application systems! This book doesn't limit itself to one subject, but serves as a detailed synopsis of measurement scales and data standards for all industries, thereby giving RDBMS programmers and designers the knowledge and know-how they need to communicate effectively across business boundaries.
