Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this evocative memoir, Brent Staples poses some compelling questions: Where does the family end the self begin? What do we owe our families and what do we owe ourselves? What part of the past is a gift and what part a shackle?As the oldest son among nine children, Brent grew up in a small industrial town near Philadelphia. Scholarship opportunities pulled him out of the black world where he had grown up into a world largely defined by whites. Meanwhile, as the industries that supported his hometown failed, and drug dealing rushed in to fill the economic void, news of arrests and premature deaths among Brent's childhood friends underscored his precarious perch in a mostly white environment. The death of his younger brother -- a cocaine dealer murdered by one of his clients -- propelled Brent into a reconsideration of his childhood that offers vivid portraits of family values that supported, pressures that tore apart, and the appeal and pain of living as an adult in a world that was literally and figuratively miles away from the one he knew as a child. …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An improbably funny account of how the purchase and restoration of a disaster of a fixer-upper saves a young marriage. When a season of ludicrous loss tests the mettle of their marriage, Matthew Batt and his wife decide not to call it quits. They set their sights instead on the purchase of a dilapidated house in the Sugarhouse section of Salt Lake City. With no homesteading experience and a full-blown quarter-life crisis on their hands, these perpetual grad students/waiters/nonprofiteers decide to seek salvation through renovation, and do all they can to turn a former crack house into a home. Dizzy with despair, doubt, and the side effects of using the rough equivalent of napalm to detoxify their house, they enter into full-fledged adulthood with power tools in hand. Heartfelt and joyous, Sugarhouse is the story of how one couple conquers adversity and creates an addition to their family, as well as their home. They thought buying a house would solve their quarter-life crisis. Instead, it introduced them to the world of home improvement--and a whole new set of problems. A Fixer-Upper with a Past: From its mysterious stains to its former life as a crack house, this dilapidated building in Salt Lake City is more than they bargained for. Salvation by Power Tool: With zero experience, Matthew and Jenae tackle everything from rotten foundations to septic carpets, learning that adulthood looks a lot like a trip to the hardware store. Laugh-Out-Loud Funny: A witty, self-deprecating story about the absurdity of trying to save a marriage by taking on a project practically designed to destroy it. A Relatable Story of Adulthood: For anyone who's ever felt like a perpetual grad student or waiter, this is a hilarious and heartfelt account of finally, messily, growing up.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In Brandon Sladder, author Jeffrey Frank has created one of the most memorable rogues in contemporary fiction. A prominent Washington columnist, Sladder has known just about everyone of importance. He has spoken on intimate terms with world leaders, been a witness to enormous change, and expressed weighty opinions on important matters of state. When former President Bush encourages him to write his memoirs, Sladder believes that his life story could add much more than a footnote to our age and attempts to burnish his image for posterity. What emerges instead is the story of an irresistibly loathsome man and the misadventures that got him to the top. Self-important, social climbing, and dangerously oblivious, Brandon Sladder is the type of character everyone loves to hate. By turns hilarious and dismaying, The Columnist is a dead-on, elegantly written portrait of the media and politics of the second half of the twentieth century.…
