Uriel "Uri" Katz, World War Two veteran, concentration camp liberator, devout atheist, contrarian, cynic and lifelong bachelor, places an ad in a newspaper seeking a "typist" to assist him in writing his memoir and receives only one reply, from a woman, named Eleanor, who negotiates a deal with him that includes room and board.Within days of her arrival, Eleanor begins inserting herself into Uri's story. So much so that she eventually becomes one of its main characters. And while Uri is dismayed and, at times, exasperated by this turn of events, he's also grown accustomed to Eleanor's company and cooking, and, as such, begrudgingly puts up with the semi-appropriation of his memoir.Though what remains imperceptible to Uri-until the novel's final, thrilling pages-is that Eleanor's appearance in his life wasn't coincidental; it was manufactured by her. And that the two have been intricately linked since the day he marched into the concentration camp.Brian Prousky's dazzling new book is memoir-writing turned on its head. It's a story about storytelling itself. About the power of language to shape and misshape history. And about the equal perils of sharing and not sharing deep-held secrets.This is the large print edition of Uriel Through Eleanor, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.

In these exquisitely rendered poems, people fall in and out of love, in and out of religious belief and in and out of accepting the distance between their imagined lives and the lives they live. They look back as much as forward and pick mercilessly at the open wounds of failed relationships. They inhabit geographies that are both their emancipators and captors. And they find joy, or succumb to sorrow, amid life's inescapable ephemerality and fragility.Breathtaking in its range of styles, Body of Winter, at its heart, is a vivid reflection of the best and worst of us all.This is the large print edition of Body Of Winter, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
