Janus (Paperback)

Paperback. Janus, the Roman god of doors, thresholds, and inconvenient self-awareness, looks both ways at once-toward what has been done and what cannot be undone-and then calmly invites you inside.Also known as January: A Season for Those Who Know Better, this book is a dryly amused, sharp-eyed examination of what happens when optimism has finally learned some manners. It's about new beginnings without the delusion, resolutions made with raised eyebrows, and the quiet comedy of people who absolutely know better-and proceed anyway. Witty, observant, and unapologetically intelligent, Janus treats January not as a fresh start, but as a well-lit hallway where the past and future eye each other warily and pour another drink.
