SUMMARY:Celebration for I Liked Rex by Diane Williams
DESCRIPTION:Diane Williams is one of the great masters of the American short story: her tiny\, coruscating tales are among the most tender\, funny\, peculiar\, and searching works in all of contemporary literature. I Liked Rex is Williams’s newest collection\, which explores sex\, love\, marriage\, and all that comes after; it is a book about living\, but more importantly\, about how to be alive. \nIn these stories\, a woman sees her soon-to-be ex-husband on the street\, walking patiently at the end of a line of geese; a mother implores a total stranger to watch over her small child at the beach; a guest arrives at an orgy uninvited\, and takes a nap beneath a dusty carpet; a woman reflects on her life with a man who used to belong to another\, but is hers now—though can anyone really possess anyone else\, truly? \nWilliams’s genius lies as much in what is left unspoken as in what is laid out on the page; behind images of startling beauty and strangeness\, entire chamber dramas of the heart unfold\, and the pleasure of these sphinx-like tales comes from their unremitting mystery\, which is the same mystery fundamental to life and to love. A collection of rare originality and daring\, I Liked Rex is a complete and utter delight.

SUMMARY:Juana Libedinsky launches her new memoir Downhill: A Memoir of an Accident\, Two Comas\, Many Books and Starting Over
DESCRIPTION:When a devastating skiing accident leaves Conrado\, a young\, successful professional\, in a coma\, it is not only his fate that hangs in the balance. His wife\, Juana\, and their two children have their lives upended overnight. \nJuana\, an Argentine journalist living in New York\, tells the story in the first person\, tracing a journey from the vast stillness of the Patagonian Andes to the fluorescent-lit hospital corridors in Buenos Aires—and\, eventually\, to the relentless pace and demands of Manhattan\, where life does not pause\, even when everything else has. \nAs she navigates the punishing world of coma care\, hospital bureaucracy\, and—perhaps even more bewildering for a foreigner—the peculiarities of the Manhattan private school circuit\, Juana clings to a few anchors: racket sports\, an eclectic cohort of friends and neighbors\, and books. Lots of books. \nDownhill is Juana’s account of a couple of terrible years\, told with the sharp eye of a seasoned reporter and a signature dry humor that surfaces in unexpected places. Woven throughout are reflections on the writers who sustained her through interminable hospital stays and the logistical ropes course of caregiving: Joan Didion on grief\, Jorge Luis Borges on memory\, Abraham Verghese on the orderly nature of tennis. Their voices form a kind of chorus\, grounding Juana as she—and we—are reminded of the transcendental and practical powers of reading.
