“A literary landmark” that spans the author’s complex life and career—“Gellhorn’s prose . . . is at its finest in the letter form” (Francine du Plessix Gray, The New York Times Book Review). Martha Gellhorn’s reporting brought her to the front lines of virtually every significant conflict from the Spanish Civil War to the end of the cold war. While Gellhorn’s wartime dispatches rank among the best of the twentieth century, her personal letters are their equal: as vivid and fascinating as her reporting was trenchant. Gellhorn’s correspondence introduces us to the woman behind the often-inscrutable journalist, chronicling her friendships with world-famous luminaries as well as her tempestuous marriage to Ernest Hemingway. Caroline Moorehead, Gellhorn’s critically acclaimed biographer, was granted exclusive access to the letters. This expertly edited volume contextualizes Gellhorn’s correspondence within the arc of her entire life; the result is an intimate portrait of one of the most accomplished women of modern times.

Now a major motion picture starring Amanda Seyfried and Finn Wittrock. Compared to seminal feminist works such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, A Mouthful of Air is a powerful, tragic statement on motherhood, family, and survival. A Mouthful of Air is a compassionate and wrenching portrait of Julie Davis, a young wife and mother torn between the love she feels for her family and the voice in her head that insists they’d be better off without her. We meet Julie several weeks after her suicide attempt, on the eve of her son’s first birthday. Grateful to be alive, Julie tries her best to appreciate every moment—“this tree, that passing car, the pretzel guy up ahead on the corner. She has, for whatever reason, been given a second chance”—but her emotional demons are unrelenting, and she is slowly and quietly losing the battle. Within the narrative of A Mouthful of Air is an argument about the nature of depression—its causes, cures, and the price it exacts from its victims. With spare, elegant prose, this brutally honest portrayal of family and self illuminates the power and complexity of the human psyche. Originally published in 2003, A Mouthful of Air now includes an afterword by author Adrienne Miller.

A stage adaptation of Katherine Boo's National Book Award-winning study of life in a Mumbai slum India is surging with global ambition. But beyond the luxury hotels surrounding Mumbai airport lies a makeshift slum, Annawadi, full of people with plans of their own. Zehrunisa and her son Abdul aim to recycle enough rubbish to fund a proper house. Sunil, twelve and stunted, wants to eat until he's as tall as Kalu the thief. Asha seeks to steal government antipoverty funds to turn herself into a "first-class person," while her daughter Manju intends to become the slum's first female graduate. But their schemes are fragile; global recession threatens the garbage trade, and another slum dweller is about to make an accusation that will destroy herself and shatter the neighborhood. For Behind the Beautiful Forevers, journalist Katherine Boo spent three years in Annawadi recording the lives of its residents. From her uncompromising book, David Hare has fashioned a tumultuous play on an epic scale.
