Synopsis Bodies of Truth by : Dinty W. Moore

2019 Foreword INDIES Award, Gold for Anthologies "Medicine still contains an oral tradition, passed down in stories: the stories patients tell us, the ones we tell them, and the ones we tell ourselves," writes contributor Madaline Harrison. Bodies of Truth continues this tradition through a variety of narrative approaches by writers representing all facets of health care. And, since all of us have been or will be touched by illness or disability--our own or that of a loved one--at some point in our lives, any reader of this anthology can relate to the challenges, frustrations, and pain--both physical and emotional--that the contributors have experienced. Bodies of Truth offers perspectives on a wide array of issues, from food allergies, cancer, and neurology to mental health, autoimmune disorders, and therapeutic music. These experiences are recounted by patients, nurses, doctors, parents, children, caregivers, and others who attempt to articulate the intangible human and emotional factors that surround life when it intersects with the medical field.

Synopsis Roundabout Directions to Lincoln Center by : Renee K Nicholson

In her debut collection and the first book in the Crossroads Poetry Series, Renee K. Nicholson brings you a profound lyric exploration of the everyday. Roundabout Directions to Lincoln Center unfolds like a ballet's grand adagio, moving across the physical, spiritual, and emotional places that make an American life. From the Carolina low-country boils to the sweet mountains of Appalachia to the grand heights of New York City, this collection, in parts playful and parts profound, traces the turns and chasses that a life in its freewheeling manner can cast."

Synopsis What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank by : Nathan Englander

A viciously funny and intelligently provocative play about family, friendship and faith, adapted by the author from his Pulitzer-finalist short story. Who in your life would you trust to keep you alive? And who do you know who would risk their own life for yours? Debbie and Lauren were best friends until Lauren became ultra-Orthodox, changed her name and moved to Jerusalem. More than twenty years later, husbands in tow, their Florida reunion descends with painful but hilarious inevitability into an argument about parenthood, marriage, friendship and faith. If you really want to ensure a Jewish future, you should be like me. Good, old-fashioned afraid. Nathan Englander's serious comedy, adapted for the stage from his Pulitzer-finalist short story, received its European premiere at the Marylebone Theatre, London, in October 2024.

Synopsis Skintight by : Joshua Harmon

Reeling from her ex-husband's engagement to a much younger woman, Jodi Isaac turns to her famous fashion-designer dad for support. Instead, she finds him wrapped up in his West Village townhouse with Trey. Who's twenty. And not necessarily gay. But probably an adult film star. At least, according to Jodi's son. Who's also twenty. And definitely gay. Skintight assays the nature of love, the power of attraction, and the ways in which a superficial culture persists in teaching its children that all that matters is what's on the inside.
