As the unofficial “gratitude correspondent” for the Atlantic, James Parker has written countless odes of appreciation on subjects from the seemingly minor (“Ode to Naps”) to the unexpected (“Ode to Giving People Money”) to the seemingly minor, unexpected and hyper-specific (“Ode to Running in Movies”). Finally collecting Parker’s beloved and much-lauded odes in one place, this volume demonstrates the profound power of the form. Each ode celebrates the permanent susceptibility of everyday humdrum life to dazzling saturations of divine light: the squirrel in the street, the crying baby, the misplaced cup of tea. Parker’s odes are songs of praise but with a decent amount of complaining in there, too: a human ratio of moans. Our politics are broken; our world is melting. Parker’s odes offer respite but also a glimmer of hope. They represent encounters with whatever might get us through the next five minutes of the impossible, beautiful, overwhelming thing we call living.

Have you ever imagined the life of a vigilante to be exciting?Do you see them as righters of wrongs and seekers of justice?Or are they something more sinister?Vigilantes occupy a curious space in our collective psyche. On one hand, they are seen as almost modern knights, seeking truth and justice where the law has failed, while on the other they are no better than the criminals they seek, operating outside of normal societal conventions.In this book, Vigilantes and the Media: 8 Horrific True Crime Stories of Vigilantes, we examine the lives of real vigilantes who often had their own agendas, like: Manuel Pardo Jr, who killed drug dealers and other criminalsPedro Filho, who tackled Brazil's murderers and rapists with a ruthless brutalityPatrick Drum, who killed pedophiles for funBernard Goetz who became tired of New York's subway muggers and exacted his own revengeBarry Gilton and Lupe Mercado who took revenge on a gang only for their own sordid lives to be revealedEach of the cases examined is true and each one of the vigilantes portrayed has their own shocking secret and motive behind their actions.Read on and be amazed at how these people took the law into their own hands, often for the most spurious of reasons and often for their own gain as well.
