In the city we can live deliberately: inventing and renewing ourselves, carving out journeys, creating private spaces. But in the city we are also afraid of being alone, clinging to the structures of daily life to ward off the chaos around us. How is it that the noisy, jostling, overwhelming metropolis leaves us at once so energized and so fragile? In "Soft City", one of our most acclaimed novelists and travel writers seeks to find out. First published in the 1970s, his account is a compelling exploration of urban life: a classic in the literature of the city, more relevant to today's overcrowded planet than ever. 'A psychological handbook for urban survival' - "Sunday Telegraph".

The year was 1914 and Monica Baldwin was 17 when she took the veil of a Roman Catholic religious order and vanished behind convent walls. Ten years later she began to think she had made a mistake. Nevertheless, for 18 years more of inward strain and stress she lived the life of the convent.At last, after 28 years in an enclosed convent, she asked for release, convinced that she "was no more fitted to be a nun than to be an acrobat." Rescript was granted by Rome, and in 1941, when she was 45, Monica Baldwin "had leapt over the wall." She landed hard in a world full of new, sharp angles, and this is her story.

In September 2000, Brendan Halpin discovered that his thirty-two-year-old wife had stage four breast cancer. On October 7, he sat down to begin writing about what happens to a man who fears that his best friend might leave him forever.While his wife’s condition is always in his thoughts, Halpin’s memoir focuses more on the day-to-day, moment-to-moment concerns of a young English teacher forced into the role of temporary single parent to his young daughter, forced to test his relationship with his wife, and forced to face his own fears.It Takes a Worried Man brilliantly skewers everyone from medical professionals to family members and details how work, pop music, and movies about flesh-eating zombies helped to save Halpin’s sanity. His rants about popular culture, God, and children’s birthday parties add levity and a fast pace to the narrative.
