NOVEDADES

This book tracks the career of the artist over six decades, revealing his retained interest in lighthearted subjects while casting them in traditional modes of painting. It celebrates the artist’s regard for the delights of the quintessentially American summer experience, from its sweet ice creams and chilled soda pops to beach games and barbecues, melting a gray winter into a fading memory. The catalogue features paintings from the 1960s through the 2000s of beach scenes, hot dogs, ice creams, beach balls, and bathing suits.

A beautiful and distinguished family. A private island. A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy. A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive. A revolution. An accident. A secret. Lies upon lies. True love. The truth. Read it. And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.

Una afilada sátira sobre el matrimonio y los vínculos que nos mantienen unidos Corren los años noventa, Jack y Elizabeth son estudiantes universitarios y, en cuanto se conocen, tienen la certeza de haber encontrado a su alma gemela, por lo que no tardan en unir fuerzas y abrirse un hueco juntos en la floreciente escena artística underground de Chicago. Veinte años después están casados y, además de enfrentarse a los retos de ser padres, deberán lidiar con sectas disfrazadas de grupos de mindfulness, pretendientes poliamorosos, guerras en Facebook y algo llamado Poción de Amor Número Nueve. Por primera vez, a Jack y Elizabeth les cuesta reconocerse mutuamente, y los antaño jóvenes soñadores se verán obligados a plantar cara a sus demonios: desde ambiciones profesionales frustradas hasta dolorosos recuerdos infantiles en el seno de sus propias familias disfuncionales. Jack y Elizabeth habrán de emprender caminos separados de indagación personal o arriesgarse a perder lo mejor de sus vidas: el uno al otro. Nathan Hill regresa con una conmovedora e ingeniosa historia sobre el matrimonio, la búsqueda a menudo desconcertante de una vida feliz y saludable, y sobre las historias que nos mantienen unidos. Desde la provocadora escena artística del Chicago de los noventa hasta los actuales barrios residenciales y su obsesión por las dietas detox y las reformas en el hogar, Hill reinventa el género amoroso con refrescantes dosis de erudición, ironía y sensibilidad.

Mari never gave much thought to the afterlife before her untimely demise, but she certainly didn’t think it would be an experimental wellness enclave called Paradise Gate—a place where the newly dead go to sort out the unfinished business of their lives. She also didn’t think the biggest problem to plague her in life would follow her into the great beyond: her also recently deceased mother, Faye. Mari quickly realizes Faye is her unfinished business, and in order to move on to whatever’s next, she’ll have to find a way to forgive her dysfunctional mother for being no mother at all. But there’s so much to forgive: never holding down a steady job, never having a stable home, and abandoning Mari in the end.
