What emerges is a transfixing, dexterous use of poetic form that transposes a theatre of movement onto the page with delicacy and profundity. This book is enhanced with photographs by Anna Lee Campbell and a parallel Japanese translation by Eri Nakagawa and Matthew Chozick.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Forrest GanderAn award-winning American writer, translator, and editor, Gander is a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist who has translated Pablo Neruda and many Latin American writers, and co-translated Kiwao Nomura and Gozo Yoshimasu.

In 1823, a man named Charles C. Trowbridge went to Indiana Territory on an assignment from Governor Lewis Cass of the Michigan Territory. His mission was to obtain the answers to a list of questions pertaining to the Lenape or Delaware language. After only two and a half months, Trowbridge collected over 280 pages of handwritten information, making the first full-fledged treatment of Southern Unami, the dialect spoken by the two groups still existing in Oklahoma today. This is the dialect of Lenape that was spoken in the southern half of New Jersey, southeastern Pennsylvania, and Delaware. After almost two centuries, Delaware Indian language scholar James A. Rementer has now edited and published Trowbridge's extremely thorough study in full. With well over a hundred pages devoted to verb forms alone, and extended word-by-word analyses of texts such as the Lord's Prayer and common phrases, Trowbridge's work serves not only as a detailed grammar but also as an invaluable cultural record from a time when the Lenape community was on its journey from the Mid-Atlantic toward the west. Rementer's extensive introductory material puts in context the historical forces that went into producing this text, with a biography of Captain Pipe, one of Trowbridge's main Indian informants. Contributions by Lenape scholar Bruce Pearson and Timothy Crumrin round out the picture with biographies of Trowbridge himself and William Conner.
Stupidity is infinitely more fascinating than intelligence. Intelligence has its limits while stupidity has none." Claude ChabrolWev may be an ordinary man, but his life has been anything but normal. The first wild ride in a series of wacky writing adventures, DOPE is action-packed with 42 tall-but-true tales to celebrate four decades of Wev's miraculous ability to stay alive, despite a plethora of decision making that would have scared the rest of us silly. A memoir that defies description, DOPE details a life less ordinary, a life spent charging head-on into insane (and inane) acts of idiocy, with Wev on the lookout for trouble no matter how hard it tries to hide from him. Naturally, Wev always ends up balls-deep in all sorts of nonsense so stupefyingly stupid, you wonder what on Earth he'll get up to next. Hilarious, honest, and often very humiliating, DOPE is the quest of a man desperate to quench his thirst for lemonade with the very few lemons life gave him. From Liverpool to Hong Kong, Soho to Solsbury Hill, South America to the Far East, DOPE is stuffed with tales of dog-eating, bullet-dodging, sex-watching, drug-taking, typhoon-hunting, monkey-massacring, wedding-crashing and tiger-riding... and a whole lot more. In this zipped-up-tight modern world of ours, DOPE will dare you to do things differently - to live life... without thinking too much first. Join him on his next misadventure... today

"When we crash-landed on the island, I thought my story was over. Turns out, it was about to begin." He was an asshole from the first moment we met. I took one look at the stranger in the airport terminal and knew he was exactly the kind of man my mother spent seventeen years warning me against. Gruff, grumpy, and far too good-looking to stare at without experiencing heart palpitations. Thankfully, I'd never see him again. Or so I thought. I couldn't have known our plane would crash. I couldn't have predicted we'd be the only survivors. I couldn't have ever, in my wildest dreams, anticipated that the asshole from the airport would become my only source of solace in the darkness. It's so wrong to want him, for so many reasons. But as the months slip by and our hopes of rescue grow dimmer... the spark between us kindles into something impossible to ignore. Sometimes, survival requires swimming in uncharted waters.But if salvation doesn't come soon...I might just drown in him. ** UNCHARTED is a full-length story of survival and forbidden love.
