Michael Rosen

A heartbreakingly honest account of a fatherâ ™s grief for his son from the illustrious pairing of two former Childrenâ ™s Laureates.Very occasionally the term non-fiction has to stretch itself to accommodate a book that fits into no category at all. Michael Rosen s Sad Book is such a book. It chronicles Michael s grief at the death of his son Eddie from meningitis at the age of 19. A moving combination of sincerity and simplicity, it acknowledges that sadness is not always avoidable or reasonable and perfects the art of making complicated feelings plain. It wasn t made like any other book either; Michael Rosen said of the text, I wrote it at a moment of extreme feeling and it went straight down onto the page ... Quentin didn t illustrate it, he realized it. He turned the text into a book and as a result showed me back to myself. No writer could ask and get more than that. And Quentin Blake says that the picture of Michael being sad but trying to look happy is the most difficult drawing he s ever done... a moving experience.

The Classical Style - Charles Rosen

Brilliant and epoch-making. Times Literary SupplementThe Classical Style is an established classic which has remained in print since its first publication in 1971. With his experience as a world-class pianist as well as as teacher at Harvard and Oxford, Charles Rosen produced the definitive survey of the language of the music of the classical period. In the book, Rosen concentrates on the three major figures of the time - Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven - because it is in terms of their achievements that the musical vernacular can best be defined .In this expanded edition, Rosen follows the development of each composer s best known genres: for Haydn, the symphony and string quartet; for Mozart, the concerto, string quintet and comic opera; for Beethoven, the piano sonata. In addition, the author ranges widely through the material of classical music which falls outside these categories. The word masterpiece should be used rarely if at all. But it applies to The Classical Style . . . this book sets new standards for the application of language to music. George Steiner

The Best Minds - Jonathan Rosen

A PULITZER PRIZE 2024 FINALIST FOR MEMOIRONE OF BARACK OBAMA S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2023ONE OF THE GUARDIAN AND PROSPECT S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES, ATLANTIC, AND WALL STREET JOURNALâ ™S TOP TEN BOOKS OF THE YEAR Extraordinary... Magisterial... A remarkable meditation on friendship, success, madness and violence that refuses to oversimplify Guardian (Book of the Day) The darkest of literary triumphs, and the most gripping of unbearable reads Telegraph (5 stars)A novelist s gripping investigation of the forces that led his childhood best friend from academic stardom to the psychiatric hospital where he has lived since killing the woman he lovedWhen the Rosens moved to New Rochelle, New York in 1973, Jonathan Rosen and Michael Laudor became inseparable. Both children of professors, the boys were best friends and fierce rivals who soon followed each other to Yale University.Michael blazed through Yale in three years, graduating summa cum laude and landing a top-flight consulting job. Then one day, Jonathan received a devastating call: Michael had suffered a psychotic break and was in the locked ward of a psychiatric hospital.Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Michael was still in hospital when he learned he d been accepted to Yale Law School, and living in a halfway house when he decided, against all odds, to enroll. Still battling delusions, he managed to graduate, and after his triumphant story was featured in The New York Times, sold a memoir for a vast sum. Ron Howard bought film rights, completing the dream for Michael and his tirelessly supportive girlfriend Carrie, and Brad Pitt was set to star. But then Michael, in the grip of psychosis, committed a horrific act that made him a front-page story of an entirely different sort.The Best Minds is Jonathan Rosen s powerful account of an American tragedy, set in the final decades of the American century, an era that coincided with the emptying out of state mental hospitals. It is a story about the bonds of friendship, the price of delusion and the mystery of identity. Tender, funny, and harrowing by turns, The Best Minds is both a beautifully rendered coming of age story and an indictment of the profound neglect of mental illness in our society.

Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities. A few words from Michael on why he wrote this book: I wrote this book because I’ve found writing about my state of mind really helpful and fun at the same time.Sometimes this is because I’ve been troubled – devastated even, as when my son died. Other times I’ve wanted to celebrate and remember great times I’ve had. The help it’s given me comes from seeing myself reflected back at me.This helps me view myself with some degree of detachment, and this enables me to put myself into the company of others, other people who may have experienced this pain or joy too. Togetherness feels better than isolation. I wanted to share these ideas with young people because I know mental health is a big issue for many young people and I hope this book will help them.

The Cat Prince - Michael Pedersen

WINNER of the 2023 Books Are My Bag Readers Award for Best Poetry Collection Pedersen bends words like no-one else. There s a naughtiness, an innocence and surprising vulnerability in this collection. It s poetry to intoxicate. Just sublime. Juno Dawson Every page of The Cat Prince brought me gladsome joy. Pedersen has the astonishing power of finding the astonishing in every moment that deserves a raised glass Daljit Nagra This laser focused collection of poetry by Michael Pedersen will gut you like a fish and smash your heart in. Searingly specific, exquisite and requisite. I relished reading every tiny morsel of it Shirley Manson Open-hearted, gut-wrenching and yet elegiac, these poems pack a hefty emotional punch. Michael Pederson s poems display a huge vocabulary for love, love in all its many forms and guises. These poems chart the journey from boyhood to manhood, the highs and the lows, the losses and the gains, always working their way towards an essential, emotional truth Jackie Kay If the alphabet is a piano keyboard then Michael Pedersen plays it with the confidence and panache of a jazz improviser who knows that every note can have the potential to change someone s life. Be amazed by this book Ian McMillan Michael s poems are so physical you can almost touch the images in them. Fabulously sensual and alive. I adore poetry like this Stephen FryThe Cat Prince Other Poems is the third collection from prize-winning poet, and author of Boy Friends, Michael Pedersen. All moggy moxie, Pedersen croons to the beauty and devastation of love, loss, friendship, cats and careless joy. Equal parts tender and trenchant, raw and ribald, plangent and smutty, these poems exhibit an emotionally charged, fantastical playground of language and lore. From the brutalising death of a cherished friend comes a gut-wrenching grief. And so begins a tenacious quest for light, lustre and survival as Pedersen pays tender tribute to a gorgeous, life-altering friendship. In doing so, he harks back to the hilarity of being young, reckless and petrified: memories of boys showboating in a fishing tackle shop, games of feline metamorphosis, laments for demolished buildings and a case of constipation of the most pernicious stock.As frisky as it is fierce, The Cat Prince pounces around the poet s emotional and physical landscapes, past and present, unfankling a Scotland full of gothic splendour and nature s majesty.These poems reveal a poet at his bravest and most vulnerable. The Cat Prince Other Poems purrs with affection, flashes its teeth, then digs in the claws.
