Longlisted for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Bisexual Fiction Sly, surprising, and razor-sharp, Natural Beauty follows a young musician into an elite, beauty-obsessed world where perfection comes at a staggering cost. Our narrator produces a sound from the piano no one else at the Conservatory can. She employs a technique she learned from her parents—also talented musicians—who fled China in the wake of the Cultural Revolution. But when an accident leaves her parents debilitated, she abandons her future for a job at a high-end beauty and wellness store in New York City. Holistik is known for its remarkable products and procedures—from remoras that suck out cheap Botox to eyelash extensions made of spider silk—and her new job affords her entry into a world of privilege and gives her a long-awaited sense of belonging. She becomes transfixed by Helen, the niece of Holistik’s charismatic owner, and the two strike up a friendship that hazily veers into more. All the while, our narrator is plied with products that slim her thighs, smooth her skin, and lighten her hair. But beneath these creams and tinctures lies something sinister. A piercing, darkly funny debut, Natural Beauty explores questions of consumerism, self-worth, race, and identity—and leaves readers with a shocking and unsettling truth.

Since independence in 1991, issues of nation and identity have become highly debated topics in Ukraine. This monograph explores not only how national identity is being (re)constructed by the Ukrainian state, but also the processes by which it is negotiated through society. The central argument of this work is that too much attention, concerning identity in Ukraine, has focused on markers of ethnicity and language. Instead, the author advocates a regional approach, engaging with the issue of how Ukraine’s regional differences affect nation-building processes. Following the tumultuous events of the ‘Orange Revolution’; the view of Ukraine as a country inherently ‘divided’ between ‘East’ and ‘West’ has (re)emerged to become a popular explanation for political events. The study outlines the necessity for academics, policymakers and indeed politicians to veer away from this simplistic ‘West versus East’ divide. The book advocates an analysis of Ukraine’s unique brand of regionalism not in terms of divisions, but in terms of regional differences and diversity. The author deconstructs the concept of ‘Eastern Ukraine’ by focusing on three Ukrainian localities, all adjacent to the Ukrainian-Russian border. The study examines how individuals provide ‘their’ own understanding of the place of their region within the wider processes of nation building across Ukraine. In doing so, the book develops a ‘regional’ approach to the study of identity politics in Ukraine.

„Fertig machen muss es dann die menschliche Hand.“ – Albert Oehlen Albert Oehlens (geb. 1954 in Krefeld; lebt und arbeitet in Gais, La Palma, und Los Angeles) erste Computerbilder entstanden mit Hilfe eines 1990 gekauften Notebooks. Auf diesem entwickelte er Zeichnungen, die er in verschiedenen Serien seit den 1990er-Jahren auf die Leinwand übertrug. Die von der Technik diktierte und eingeschränkte Pixel-Ästhetik mit ihren Treppen- und Klötzcheneffekten wurde zu einem folgenreichen Ausgangspunkt für einen Werkkomplex, der zwischen kühler Kargheit und wuchernder Formenvielfalt oszilliert und angesichts aktueller Diskussionen um die Anwendung künstlicher Intelligenz in der Kunst hochaktuell erscheint. Die Publikation Computerbilder erscheint anlässlich der Ausstellung in der Hamburger Kunsthalle und dokumentiert den gleichnamigen und bislang äußerst selten gezeigten Werkkomplex Albert Oehlens. Mit einem Essay des Direktors Alexander Klar. “Finishing it is then the job of the human hand.”—Albert Oehlen Albert Oehlen’s (b. Krefeld, 1954; lives and works between Gais, La Palma, and Los Angeles) first Computer Paintings were made with the assistance of a notebook computer he had bought in 1990. The painter used it to sketch initial drawings he then transferred to the canvas in several series beginning in the 1990s. The constrained pixel aesthetic imposed by the technology with its aliasing and block effects became a consequential point of departure for a strand in his oeuvre that veers between cool austerity and a proliferating diversity of forms. It seems more relevant than ever in light of today’s debates around the use of artificial intelligence in art. The publication Computer Paintings accompanies the exhibition at Hamburger Kunsthalle and documents the eponymous body of work by Albert Oehlen, which has rarely been on public view. With an essay by the director Alexander Klar.

From the New York Times bestselling author, a provocative book of hard-won wisdom for achieving a fulfilling career and life. - How can you have a meaningful career, not just a lucrative one? - Is a work/life balance really possible? - What does it take to make a long-term relationship succeed? - What can you do now so there are no regrets aged 40, 50 or 80? As Scott Galloway puts it, by the time you hit your mid twenties sh*t gets real. Life become stressful. Even the smart, the hard working and the elite can feel lost in a chaotic, noisy and unpredictable world. As a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, the debate in Galloway's MBA class often veers away from business strategy to the challenging issue of life strategies. Which is why Galloway, in his signature, take-no-prisoners style, has developed a dynamic formula for a life well lived. In The Algebra of Happiness Galloway tells you how life can be navigated and negotiated better to maximise happiness and minimise the inevitable stress. Delivering practical advice and hard-won wisdom on everything from when to own property to how hard to work, this is self-help for anyone struggling with life's big questions. Through simple equations that measure the relationship between success, resilience and failure or the correlation between happiness and money, Galloway attempts to convert intangible advice to tangible equations.

One of the original primers on shadow work— A spiritual guide to fully understanding your psyche and unconscious mind to achieve transformative self-acceptance In this mind—and life—altering volume, Jungian expert and renowned author Robert A. Johnson describes how we all have shadows—the unlit, undesirable, part of our ego that is hidden deep within us that merely—and often painfully—turns up in unexpected places. As we leave these shadows dormant, we veer further away from our true selves. But when we begin to explore and embrace these shadows, we begin to find balance and finally heal the parts of ourselves we thought were broken. Johnson illuminates that by accepting and honoring the shadow within us, we can: · Live beyond judgement and shame through healthy emotional regulation · Strengthen our relationships and develop healthier behavioral and communication patterns · Stop comparing ourselves to others and learn to live with authentic gratitude for what we have and who we are · Move beyond self-sabotaging to radically improve our self-esteem and self-worth Both radical and piercing yet compassionate and gentle, Owning Your Shadow allows us to clasp the painful parts of ourselves—our anger, jealousy, addictions, fears—and use them to discover our most authentic selves. A must-read for anyone who struggles with a lack of self-confidence, trouble setting boundaries, anxiety in relationships, doomscrolling, or simply finding the happiness they know they deserve. Indeed, the light at the end of the tunnel begins when we choose to venture into the darkness first.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "The perfect crime scene . . . in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham's readers love."-Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing Just as Bruce Cable's Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. Florida's governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm. The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's and an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelson's injuries suggests that the storm wasn't the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head. Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed in the aftermath of the storm and ill equipped to handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson's novels might be more real than fictional. And somewhere on Nelson's computer is the manuscript of his new novel. Could the key to the case be right there-in black and white? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson's plot twists-and far more dangerous. Look for all of John Grisham's rollicking Camino novels: Camino Island Camino Winds Camino Ghosts
