A captivating, nuanced portrait of the life of V ra Nabokov, who dedicated herself to advancing her husband's writing career, playing a vital role in the creation of his greatest works. V ra Nabokov (1902-1991) was in many ways the epitome of the wife of a great man: keenly aware of her husband's extraordinary talent, she decided to make his success her ultimate goal, throughout fifty-two years of marriage until his death in 1977. The first reader of his texts, V ra worked as typist and editor. She organized their lives in exile, as they traveled to Berlin, Paris, Switzerland, and, most importantly, the US, where she convinced Vladimir to focus on writing novels in English. She not only controlled the family's finances and contract negotiations, but also attempted to control his friendships--particularly with women--going so far as to audit his classes. In a rich, sweeping novel, Monika Zgustova immerses us in the daily life of this remarkable couple, offering insights into their complex personal and professional relationships. V ra considered herself an independent woman, but was she really, when her husband took up so much space? And without V ra, could Nabokov have become one of the twentieth century's greatest writers?

Amara loved life on her small farm in 1970 Yountsville, Indiana. That is, until she met the strange woman at the mill across the creek. The fact that the mill had been abandoned for nearly a century made it impossible for her to believe what her eyes now convinced her were real. But how on earth did an abandoned mill become a fully operating one in the blink of an eye? And wasn't it odd how familiar the woman seemed? Awinita spoke in riddles about another time and place, a place called Roswell, Georgia, where by the orders of General Sherman, she and a crew of female mill workers had been charged with treason and forced to relocate to a new life up north. Amara's association with the lone figure grew even as she witnessed the eerie cries of the banshee that now dominated her land. And the unusual happenings intertwined with a series of break-ins in the small country town. Added to these were the attempts on Amara's own life. As the threats increased, Amara's friends joined forces against whatever evil was behind the assaults, while Amara took comfort in her colorful animal family. Among these, the crow she had adopted began leaving gifts that were obviously clues to a mystery Amara was meant to unravel, and Amara's mistrust of others began to spike. Rebounding between 1970 and 1864, Amara was no longer certain as to which life she belonged. Leaving her newly discovered love interest did not seem like an option, but neither did refusing the aid of the Roswell women, who were otherwise destined to fail. Crow would become as much of an enigma as Awinita herself, and an exotic Creole healer would open a new path as Amara struggled to solve the dilemmas of the past, present, and future.

Presented for the first time in English, this volume brings together twelve notable interviews and conversations with Henri Cartier-Bresson carried out between 1951 and 1998. While many of us are acquainted with his images, there are so few texts available by Cartier-Bresson on his photographic process. These verbal, primary accounts capture the spirit of the master photographer and serve as a lasting document of his life and work, which has inspired generations of photographers and artists. Here, Cartier-Bresson speaks passionately, with metaphors and similes, about the world and photography. A man of principles shaped by the evolving eras of the twentieth century, his major influences included Surrealism, European politics of the 1930s and ’40s, the Second World War, and his experiences with Magnum as cofounder and reporter. This book illuminates his thoughts, personality, and reflections on a seminal career. In his own words: “[Photography] is a way of questioning the world and questioning yourself at the same time. . . . It entails a discipline. For me, freedom is a basic frame of reference, and inside that frame are all the possible variations. Everything, everything, everything. But it is within a frame. The important thing is the sense of limit. And visually, it is the sense of form. Form is important. The structure of things. The space.”

In fact, friends had often asked CJ how many Chinamen she had run over in her last life. Sometimes, she was asked if she had ever been hit by lightning or if she had been on a ladder when a black cat walked underneath it. The comments we facetious but not intended to cause harm.
