In this entirely unique approach to the life of Friedrich Hölderlin, The Recalcitrant Art combines the techniques of fiction and nonfiction as it examines the love between the poet and Susette Gontard ("Diotima"). On the left-hand or verso pages of the book appear Susette Gontard's letters, presented here in English translation for the first time, with an introduction and afterword by Douglas F. Kenney. On the right-hand or recto pages appear Sabine Menner-Bettscheid's scholarly responses to Kenney and fictional responses to Susette. Menner-Bettscheid gives life to an entire series of voices: Hölderlin's pious mother, Susette's calculating husband, Jacob, the Gontard's oldest child, Henry, the popular novelist Sophie LaRoche, and the Greek gardener and rabbit-keeper at the Gontard's summer home in Frankfurt all come to be heard. Douglas F. Kenney, by contrast, sticks to historical documentation and literary analysis.

"This searching, humane novel debut contemplates God, the cosmos, and humanity's place in it all ... thoughtfulness powers the novel, which unfolds in clear, engaging, at times playful prose... Wald proves an engaging, empathetic storyteller." -Booklife Review by Publishers Weekly Four friends' worlds collide at Lake Paradise in a search for answers to life's biggest questions. Jacob Hart has always been convinced there is an answer to any problem. That belief propelled him to a successful engineering career at corporate giant, GoldOrb Diversified. But following an abrupt retirement and his wife's untimely death, Jacob suffers an existential crisis. The man who once believed that anything could be solved becomes all consumed with uncovering the role of a higher power in his seemingly crumbling world. Plagued with prophetic visions, he travels to Lake Paradise in pursuit of his coveted answer to life's mysteries. Joined in his quest by a kind Rabbi who has lost his faith, an unruly Ivy League professor, and the powerful CEO of GoldOrb, Jacob enters into a philosophical pursuit for the ages. But the troubles of the real world follow the friends to paradise, and soon they are ensnared in a high stakes political scandal that threatens to destroy everything. The Overexamined Life of Jacob Hart tests the bonds of friendship, family, and country and infuses existential questions from time immemorial with modernity, intrigue, and sheer excitement. "Stellar. This may be Jerry Wald's first novel, but it's clear that he has been working on his craft for many years. The Overexamined Life of Jacob Hart is a thought-provoking, heartfelt, and inspirational story told with depth, nuance, and emotion. Jacob Hart is a complex and compassionate soul who is worth rooting for. We will be hearing more from this talented author. Highly recommended." -Sheldon Siegel, New York Times best selling author of Special Circumstances "An outstanding debut... Five-plus stars to The Overexamined Life of Jacob Hart. It's a literary triumph for those seeking a read with both substance and uncommon depth. We can't recommend it highly enough." -Don Sloan, Publishers Daily Reviews "Harmony and clarity are found as four men pursue happiness in tandem in this endearing" [and] "soulful novel." -Foreword/Clarion Review "Delightful, compelling, and thought-provokingly realistic." -Midwest Book Review

A fresh literary analysis of political polemic in the Bible The Book of Judges ends with a bizarre narrative of sex and violence that starts with a domestic tiff and ends with the decimation of a tribe that is restored by means of abduction and rape. Cynthia Edenburg applies a fresh literary analysis, recent understandings of historical linguistics, and historical geography in her exploration of the origin of the anti-Benjamin polemic found in Judges 19–21, the growth and provenance of the book of Judges, and the shape of the Deuteronomistic History. Her study exposes how Judges 19–21 function as political polemic reflecting not the pre-monarchic period but instead the historical realities of the settlement of Benjamin during the Babylonian and Persian period. Features: Methodological discussions that open each chapter Charts and tables Engagement with current research produced by scholars from around the world

Women and National Trauma in Late Imperial Chinese Literature

The Ming–Qing dynastic transition in seventeenth-century China was an epochal event that reverberated in Qing writings and beyond; political disorder was bound up with vibrant literary and cultural production. Women and National Trauma in Late Imperial Chinese Literature focuses on the discursive and imaginative space commanded by women. Encompassing writings by women and by men writing in a feminine voice or assuming a female identity, as well as writings that turn women into a signifier through which authors convey their lamentation, nostalgia, or moral questions for the fallen Ming, the book delves into the mentality of those who remembered or reflected on the dynastic transition, as well as those who reinvented its significance in later periods. It shows how history and literature intersect, how conceptions of gender mediate the experience and expression of political disorder. Why and how are variations on themes related to gender boundaries, female virtues, vices, agency, and ethical dilemmas used to allegorize national destiny? In pursuing answers to these questions, Wai-yee Li explores how this multivalent presence of women in different genres provides a window into the emotional and psychological turmoil of the Ming–Qing transition and of subsequent moments of national trauma. 2016 Joseph Levenson Book Prize, Pre-1900 Category, China and Inner Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies

Paranormal experiences have been reported for centuries. From UFO sightings to alien abductions to close encounters, earth inhabitants have shared their experiences, provoking reactions ranging from ridiculous to ridicule. The stories are hauntingly similar and dismissed, but have yet to be disproven.
Wendy Barnhill’s story is one of those stories.
Her experiences have taken her life into a spiraling existence of questions and reliving haunting flashbacks. It is further complicated by having been raised in a violent underworld of chaos, dysfunction, drug and sexual abuse which reinforce the skepticism of her claims. Yet the nightmares, the flashbacks, and the physical effects of an actual life and death experience are as real as her physical disabilities which have resulted.
What happened to Wendy Barnhill on those multiple occasions when she was only seven years old, and on the occasions that followed?
After years of searching for answers, perhaps only the universe knows.
