"Whit Miller was a struggling writer and a solidly married man. Then came success-- and destruction. Of his marriage. And almost of himself. For Whit was gay and now there was nothing to repress who he was and what he wanted: a man to love, among so many men to love. And in an odyssey of desperate need and obsessive desire he journeyed to the heights and to the depths of the heart-- and of the flesh..." -- Back cover.

A Financial Times Best Book of the Year "Brando’s Smile returns us to the power of his greatest performances." —Dan Chiasson, New York Review of Books When people think about Marlon Brando they think of the movie star, the hunk, the scandals. Here, Susan L. Mizruchi—who gained unprecedented access to Brando’s letters, audiotapes, revised screenplays, and books—reveals the complex man whose intelligence belies the high-school dropout. She shows how Brando’s embrace of foreign cultures and social outsiders led to his brilliant performances in unusual roles to test himself and to foster empathy in his audience.

It began as a ski trip, a prize won for one of his mystery novels. Unable to find a date to share this prize and, rather than letting him waste it, his sister invites herself along for some long-overdue bonding. Then the blizzard hit. What happens next unleashes a storm between them more powerful than the raging wind outside. Laura convinces him to collaborate with her to write a script for a cable-TV movie. Her story evolves into a melodrama about dysfunctional siblings whose incestuous affair leads to their ruin. Writing the screenplay quickly becomes so dangerous that it threatens their very beings. The unanticipated force causes them to confront who they are, and who they wish to be, before they repeat the tragedy of the characters written into their script.... This sexy, psychological thriller is intended for fans of V.C. Andrews and E. L. James.

Using vignettes and anecdotes from his own life - as well as quotations drawn from sources as varied as the Bible, Yiddish aphorisms, and stand-up comedy - Zen teacher and Unitarian Universalist minister James Ishmael Ford shares the gifts won over his lifetime of full-hearted engagement with the Zen path. "I've found myself broken open," Ford says, "and found in that opening my fundamental connection to the whole world." What's more, If You're Lucky, Your Heart Will Break breathes new life into the Buddhist ideas of karma and rebirth - as well as the Buddhist precepts of ethical action - and finds for them kinship in other spiritual endeavors. Even the most cynical of hearts will find resonance in Ford's compassionate presentation of basic human truths.
