 stock image, actual book may vary In this collection of stories and essays, the beloved author of the classic, best-selling novel A Lesson Before Dying shares with us the inspirations behind his books, how he came to choose the vocation of a writer, the childhood in rural Louisiana that he continually re-creates in his fiction, and his portrayal of the black experience in the South. Told in the simple and powerful prose that is a hallmark of his craft, these writings faithfully evoke the sorrows and joys of rustic Southern life. They begin with Gaines s move to California at the age of fifteen to complete school. Missing the Louisiana countryside where he was raised by his aunt propelled him to find books in the library that would invoke the sights, smells, and locution of his native home. Gaines never agreed with the authors portrayal of black people: either she was a mammy, or he was a Tom, he explains in Miss Jane and I. From that initial disappointment stemmed a literary career that has spanned forty years and includes five novels, which in the words of USA Today reviewer Suzanne Freeman have made the smallest truths, the everyday sorrows of hard choices, add up to moments of pure illumination. These are cherished and popular books like The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman , A Gathering of Old Men , and the 1993 blockbuster A Lesson Before Dying , which has sold more than two million copies around the world, won the National Book Critics Circle Award, and in 1997 was picked for Oprah s Book Club. It has been continually selected for City Read programs and praised by critics as an instant classic, a book that will be read, discussed and taught beyond the rest of our lives Charles R. Larson, Chicago Tribune . In the essay Writing A Lesson Before Dying , Gaines describes the real-life murder case that gave him the idea for his masterpiece. Included here are short stories that transport us to the rural Louisiana of the 1940s and the influences that shaped him most lastingly, the people and the places of Gaines s own past. This wonderful collection of autobiographical essays and fictional pieces is a revelation of both man and writer.

 stock image, actual book may vary A brilliant debut mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide. After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, thelegendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man. You may think you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them under an investigation like this. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
