Hardback. Condition: Good. In the tradition of John Jeremiah Sullivan and David Foster Wallace, Cheston Knapp's Up Up, Down Down is an always smart, often hilarious, and ultimately transcendent essay collection (Anthony Doerr, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All the Light We Cannot See) that brilliantly explores authenticity and the nature of identity. Daring and wise, hilarious and tender, Cheston Knapp's glittering (Leslie Jamison) collection of seven linked essays tackles the Big Questions through seemingly unlikely avenues. In his dexterous hands, an examination of a local professional wrestling promotion becomes a meditation on pain and his relationship with his father. A profile of UFO enthusiasts ends up probing his history in the church and, more broadly, the nature and limits of faith itself. Attending an adult skateboarding camp launches him into a virtuosic analysis of nostalgia. And the shocking murder of a neighbor expands into an interrogation of our culture's prevailing ideas about community. Even more remarkable, perhaps, is the way he manages to find humanity in a damp basement full of frat boys. Taken together, the essays in Up Up, Down Down amount to a chronicle of Knapp's coming-of-age, a young man's journey into adulthood, late-onset as it might appear. He presents us with formative experiences from his childhood to marriage that echo throughout the collection, and ultimately tilts at what may be the Biggest Q of them all: what are the hazards of becoming who you are?

Paperback. Condition: Good. On December 21, 2012, there will be an opportunity for the meek to prevail.So speaks one of the Mexican sages in Jock Whitehouse's 2012 antiapocalypse book The Ledge of Quetzal.There was a growing momentum of darkness in the world. As climate change spawned wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes and floods/ as earthquakes and mudslides turned entire villages into rubble/ as political, social and religious differences gave rise to terrorism, genocide, and war/ as the world teetered on the edge of economic chaos, it was not hard to imagine apocalypse in the making. The Maya, however, along with numerous other cultures and disciplines, had somehow discerned the largest cosmic cycles of man's destiny and the forces that surrounded it. And in those cycles they found, like the pause of a pendulum at its apogee, an opportunity for total change. It was like a second chance for all mankind.Yes, the weather is changing, world economies are shaky, terrorism and nationalism and fanatical leaders threaten global security. Some say civilization is ending.Can it be saved? Yes. Who can do that? We can.That's the message that comes through in this wild adventure story in the tradition of Castaneda and Coelho, deep into the heart of southern Mexico and its rich traditions of plantbased hallucinogens and the spiritual clarity they awaken. Knapp, Tom (illustrator). …
