The American Civil Liberties Union partners with award-winning authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman in this “forceful, beautifully written” (Associated Press) collection that brings together many of our greatest living writers, each contributing an original piece inspired by a historic ACLU case. On January 19, 1920, a small group of idealists and visionaries, including Helen Keller, Jane Addams, Roger Baldwin, and Crystal Eastman, founded the American Civil Liberties Union. A century after its creation, the ACLU remains the nation’s premier defender of the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. In collaboration with the ACLU, authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman have curated an anthology of essays “full of struggle, emotion, fear, resilience, hope, and triumph” (Los Angeles Review of Books) about landmark cases in the organization’s one-hundred-year history. Fight of the Century takes you inside the trials and the stories that have shaped modern life. Some of the most prominent cases that the ACLU has been involved in—Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona—need little introduction. Others you may never even have heard of, yet their outcomes quietly defined the world we live in now. Familiar or little-known, each case springs to vivid life in the hands of the acclaimed writers who dive into the history, narrate their personal experiences, and debate the questions at the heart of each issue. Hector Tobar introduces us to Ernesto Miranda, the felon whose wrongful conviction inspired the now-iconic Miranda rights—which the police would later read to the man suspected of killing him. Yaa Gyasi confronts the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education, in which the ACLU submitted a friend of- the-court brief questioning why a nation that has sent men to the moon still has public schools so unequal that they may as well be on different planets. True to the ACLU’s spirit of principled dissent, Scott Turow offers a blistering critique of the ACLU’s stance on campaign finance. These powerful stories, along with essays from Neil Gaiman, Meg Wolitzer, Salman Rushdie, Ann Patchett, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Louise Erdrich, George Saunders, and many more, remind us that the issues the ACLU has engaged over the past one hundred years remain as vital as ever today, and that we can never take our liberties for granted. Chabon and Waldman are donating their advance to the ACLU and the contributors are forgoing payment.

Det var ikke bare at jeg elsket Lucy ved havet; jeg trengte den. Måtte horder av lesere føle seg styrket, trøstet og på alle måter oppløftet av Lucys historie.» The Boston Globe Kåret til en av årets beste bøker 2022 av The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Time, The Washington Post, PopSugar, She Reads Lucy ved havet er en frittstående roman om Lucy Barton.

"Man får vara ordentligt marinerad i cynism för att inte svepas med i författarens tro på vad människor kan göra för varandra." Göteborgs-Posten "Det lätta samtalet fungerar som en lindrande filt över vars och ens kolsvarta ensamhet och ensamhet." Dagens Nyheter "Man skrattar och gråter tillsammans med Elizabeth Strouts romangestalter, man glömmer att de inte är riktiga människor." Nerikes Allehanda Det är höst i den lilla staden Crosby i Maine. Advokaten Bob Burgess har blivit insnärjd i en pågående mordutredning där han försvarar en man som anklagas för att ha dödat sin mamma. Han har också blivit vän med den hyllade författaren Lucy Barton, som bor längre ner på gatan i ett hus vid havet med sin före detta man, William. Lucy och Bob tar långa promenader tillsammans och pratar om sina liv, sina rädslor, vad de ångrar och hur livet kunde ha blivit. Lucy får också äntligen lära känna den omtalade Olive Kitteridge, som nu bor på ett seniorboende i utkanten av stan. De tillbringar eftermiddagarna tillsammans i Olives lägenhet och berättar historier för varandra om människor de har känt, människor som skänkt deras liv mening. Berätta allt är en hoppfull roman om nya vänner och gamla kärlekar, och om varför relationer till andra människor är det som håller oss vid liv. Som Lucy Barton säger: "Kärlek kan se ut på så många olika sätt, men det är alltid kärlek."

FROM THE PULITZER-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED ELIZABETH STROUT COMES A STUNNING STANDALONE NOVEL OF LOVE, LONELINESS AND NEW BEGINNINGS Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad—at himself and the people around him—and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us? And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear—and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence. With exquisite prose and profound insight, Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets. The Things We Never Say is a stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart. *** PRAISE FOR ELIZABETH STROUT: 'A terrific writer' ZADIE SMITH 'A superbly gifted storyteller' HILARY MANTEL 'Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favourite writers' ANN PATCHETT 'Strout's ability to reveal wonder in unrecorded lives continues to astonish' TELEGRAPH 'She gets better with each book' MAGGIE O'FARRELL 'A beautiful read' OPRAH WINFREY 'Strout is, as ever, wonderfully attentive life's escapable cruelties and woes' SUNDAY TIMES

Por la aclamada autora de Lucy Barton y Olive Kitteridge, una conmovedora novela sobre dos hermanos que regresan a los escenarios de su infancia. En cuanto pudieron, Jim y Bob Burgess huyeron de su pueblo natal en Maine a Nueva York. Jim, un elegante y exitoso abogado corporativo, lleva toda la vida subestimando a su hermano, y Bob, un abogado del estado que idolatra a Jim, ha llevado una vida tranquila. Sin embargo, esta din mica se ve alterada cuando la hermana de los dos, Susan, que se qued en su pueblo, los llama por un asunto urgente. Su hijo adolescente se ha metido en un mundo de problemas, y Susan necesita desesperadamente su ayuda. As , los hermanos Burgess regresan al paisaje de su infancia, donde las tensiones largo tiempo enterradas comienzan a salir a la superficie, reorde--do el pasado de una manera que los cambiar para siempre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the acclaimed author of Lucy Barton and Olive Kitteridge comes a moving novel about two brothers returning to the landscape of their childhood. As soon as they could, Jim and Bob Burgess fled their hometown in Maine for New York City. Jim, a polished and successful corporate lawyer, has spent his entire life underestimating his brother, while Bob, a state attorney who idolizes Jim, has led a quiet existence. But their long-standing dynamic shifts when their sister, Susan--who stayed behind in their hometown--calls them on an urgent matter. Her teenage son has gotten himself into serious trouble, and Susan desperately needs their help. Thus, the Burgess brothers return to the setting of their youth, where long-buried tensions begin to resurface, reshaping the past in ways that will change them forever.

Lucy Barton ja Olive Kitteridge vihdoin samassa kirjassa! Rakastetun Elizabeth Stroutin kirpaisevan toiveikas romaani uusista ystävistä, vanhoista rakkaista ja ihmisen ikiaikaisesta halusta jättää merkkinsä maailmaan. Crosbyssä eletään syksyä, kun kaupungin lakimies Bob Burgess saa hoidettavakseen hämmentävän murhajutun. Tapauksen käänteissä häntä kannattelee tuore ystävyys kirjailija Lucy Bartonin kanssa. Lucy taas on tutustunut kaupungin legendaariseen äkämykseen, Olive Kitteridgeen. Lucy ja Olive viettävät iltapäivänsä kertoen toisilleen tarinoita. Bob ja Lucy käyvät kävelyillä puhuen elämästä, peloista ja katumuksen aiheista. Kaikki he pohtivat tykönänsä, yhdessä ja erikseen, mitä merkitystä kenenkään elämällä oikeastaan on. Vai onko sittenkin niin, että olemme olemassa vain toisiamme varten? ”Tässä romaanissa on kaikkea: romantiikkaa, jännitystä ja salaisuuksia.” Oprah Winfrey ”Kipeän koskettava mutta innoittava” The Boston Globe ”Runsas, myötätuntoinen romaani ihmisen tarpeesta tuntea yhteyttä toisiin ihmisiin ja vahingosta, joka syntyy, kun jää aivan yksin.” San Francisco Chronicle Elizabeth Strout (s. 1956) on kiitetty ja paljon luettu yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija.

Sittemmin hänen rakastetut henkilöhahmonsa ovat alkaneet vilahdella hänen kirjoissaan tavalla, jonka sitoo koko hänen tuotantonsa löyhästi yhteen. Alati tuotteliaammaksi käyvä Elizabeth Strout on koulutukseltaan juristi. Hän on Mainesta lähtöisin oleva pikkukaupungin tyttö, joka asuu New Yorkissa.

"Varje ny bok av henne känns som en gåva" Ingalill Mosander "Romanen efterlämnar en känsla av värme och hopp" Dagens Nyheter ”Ren läsnjutning!” Damernas Värld "ett varsamt kalibrerat kammarspel" Borås Tidning "en underbart levande bok från ett författarskap jag unnar varje läsare att bekanta sig med." Västerbottens-Kuriren Mitt under pågående pandemi föreslår Lucy Bartons exmake William att de tillsammans ska fly New York. Trots deras trassliga förflutna följer Lucy med, fast övertygad om att det rör sig om ett par veckors vistelse i en lite kuststad i Maine. Under månaderna som följer är Lucy och William utelämnade till varandra och irritationen blir allt större i huset intill det lynniga, brusande havet. Lucy kämpar med isoleringen och längtar tillbaka till sitt älskade New York. Hon konfronteras med sitt förflutna och sina sorger. Hon saknar sin nyss avlidne make, plågas av en väns död och tänker på de vuxna döttrarna, som inte längre tycks behöva henne. Hon ser hur döttrarna kämpar med sin kärlek till varandra, en kärlek som ibland lider av svår bitterhet och distans. Men under promenaderna och i tystnaden finns också ett välgörande lugn och vila. Långsamt får livet en annan skärpa och en oväntad vänskap föds i mötet med grannen Bob. Häpen upptäcker hon att han känns närmare henne än vad William någonsin varit. Med små medel, en utsökt humor och en skarpsinnig blick skildrar Elizabeth Strout hur svår, nyckfull och vacker intimitet kan vara människor emellan.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the tender relationship between mother and daughter in this extraordinary novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys. Soon to be a Broadway play starring Laura Linney produced by Manhattan Theatre Club and London Theatre Company - LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post - The New York Times Book Review - NPR - BookPage - LibraryReads - Minneapolis Star Tribune - St. Louis Post-Dispatch Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy's childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy's life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable. "A quiet, sublimely merciful contemporary novel about love, yearning, and resilience in a family damaged beyond words."--The Boston Globe

It's autumn in Maine, and the town lawyer Bob Burgess has become enmeshed in an unfolding murder investigation, defending a lonely, isolated man accused of killing his mother. He has also fallen into a deep and abiding friendship with the acclaimed writer Lucy Barton, who lives down the road in a house by the sea with her ex-husband, William. Together, Lucy and Bob go on walks and talk about their lives, their fears and regrets, and what might have been. Lucy, meanwhile, is finally introduced to the iconic Olive Kitteridge, now living in a retirement community on the edge of town. They spend afternoons together in Olive's apartment, telling each other stories. Stories about people they have known--"unrecorded lives," Olive calls them--reanimating them, and, in the process, imbuing their lives with meaning. Brimming with empathy and pathos, Tell Me Everything is Elizabeth Strout operating at the height of her powers, illuminating the ways in which our relationships keep us afloat. As Lucy says, "Love comes in so many different forms, but it is always love."
