Worth More Dead - Ann Rule

In this white-knuckled entry in Ann Rule’s Crime Files, the #1 New York Times bestselling author presents the true story of a man who betrayed his family with heinous crimes and other tales of passion and greed. Former Marine sergeant and judo instructor Roland Pitre Jr. claimed it was all an elaborate plan to win back his wife’s love—it wasn’t supposed to end with her dead body in the trunk of a car. It would be nearly twenty years before he admitted to hiring someone to kill his estranged wife, but the alleged confession was as shocking and convoluted as the crime itself. The “prolific and talented” (Publishers Weekly) Ann Rule dives into this shocking true crime with her signature compassion and insight. She reveals how Pitre managed to avoid conviction and the two generations of detectives who worked doggedly for justice. Worth More Dead also features several more nonfiction tales from one of the world’s “top-notch true crime writers” (Booklist).

Don't Call Us Dead - Danez Smith

*WINNER OF THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION 2018**A Finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry 2017**A Financial Times and Telegraph Book of the Year 2018*‘[Smith’s] poems are enriched to the point of volatility, but they pay out, often, in sudden joy’ The New Yorker Award-winning poet Danez Smith is a ground-breaking force, celebrated for deft lyrics, urgent subjects, and performative power. Don’t Call Us Dead opens with a heartrending sequence that imagines an afterlife for black men shot by police, a place where suspicion, violence, and grief are forgotten and replaced with the safety, love and longevity they deserved here on earth. Smith turns then to desire, mortality – the dangers experienced in skin and body and blood – and an HIV-positive diagnosis. ‘Some of us are killed / in pieces,’ Smith writes, ‘some of us all at once.’ Don’t Call Us Dead is an astonishing and ambitious collection, one that confronts, praises, and rebukes an America where every day is too often a funeral and not often enough a miracle.

Sophie Calle: The Sleepers

Calle’s seminal 1979 series of people sleeping in her bed: now in EnglishIn one of Sophie Calle’s first artistic experiments, she invited friends, acquaintances and strangers to sleep in her bed. Twenty-seven people agreed, among them a baker, a babysitter, an actor, a journalist, a seamstress, a trumpet player and three painters. Calle photographed them awake and asleep, secretly recording any private conversations once the door closed. She served each a meal, and, if they agreed, she subjected them to a questionnaire that probed their personal predilections, habits and dreams as well as their interpretations of the act of sleeping in her bed: a curiosity, a game, an artwork, or—as Calle intended it—a job. The result, comprising her first exhibition in 1979, was a grid of 198 photographs and short texts.Unlike the original installation, this artist’s book version of The Sleepers contains not only all the photographs and captions but also her engrossing, novellalike narrative, untranslated until now. From the single, liminal mise-en-scène of her bedroom, Calle reports in text and photos, as if in real time, as sleepers arrive, talk, sleep, eat and leave. Their acute and sometimes startling, sometimes endearing particularities merge into something almost like an eight-day-long ... Unknown localization key: "more"
