by (W) Ben Katchor
From award-winning cartoonist and author of The Dairy Restaurant, Real Estate Photographer, and The Jew of New York: a new collection of graphic narratives preserved in Ben Katchor’s timeless illustrations.Late one night, in an Echoic City basement cafeteria, a group of story-addicts linger after dinner to share 140 tales that examine the mysteries and idiosyncrasies of hotel culture and agriculture. The hotel stories explore the erotic quality of miniature shampoo containers, the pleasures of life between international time zones, the dangers of glossy magazines, and the hotel lobby as a breeding ground for petty crime. The agriculture stories detail the little-known practice of twice-killing meat, the cultivation and sale of exotic produce, the whitewashing of trees, and the arrangement of fruit as an art form. With Ben Katchor’s signature style and wit, the stories in Hotel and Farm weave together the joys and woes of both industries into one unprecedented and unerring graphic novel.

BEN KATCHOR is the author of, among other books, The Dairy Restaurant, Hand-Drying in America, The Cardboard Valise, and The Jew of New York. He was the first cartoonist to receive a MacArthur Fellowship. He has written several works of musical theater, including The Rosenbach Company and The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island. Katchor is an Associate Professor in the Illustration program at the Parsons School of Design/The New School in New York City, where he lives.

by (W) Anne Rice (CT) Leigh Bardugo; Christopher Rice
The 50th anniversary edition of the spellbinding classic that started it all, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author.This dazzling special edition features a jacket with foil and embossing, sprayed edges, designed endpapers, a new foreword from Leigh Bardugo, an afterword by Christopher Rice, and never-before-seen bonus pages from the original manuscript.Here are the confessions of a vampire: a hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly sensual story of Louis de Pointe du Lac's first two hundred years as one of the living dead. We begin on the night when Louis, disaffected and reluctant heir to a Louisiana plantation, is turned into a vampire by Lestat. Radiant, petulant, and powerful, Lestat becomes Louis’ companion and urges him to embrace the hungers and feelings of vampirism: the detachment, the hardened will, the "superior" sensual pleasures. As Louis struggles to retain the last residue of human feeling within him, he discovers must commit the ultimate act: to break away from his creator and discover the new world to which he belongs—whatever the cost.This is a story of danger and flight, of loyalty and treachery, of gaining humanity and losing it, and of the extraordinary power of the senses.

ANNE RICE was the author of thirty-seven books, including The Vampire Chronicles, Lives of the Mayfair Witches, and the Wolf Gift book series. Rice was born in New Orleans in 1941 and grew up there and in Texas.

by (W) Nora Ephron (CT) Meg Wolitzer
A whopping big celebration of the work of the late, great Nora Ephron, America’s funniest—and most acute—writer, famous for her brilliant takes on life as we’ve been living it these last forty years.A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the CenturyEverything you could possibly want from Nora Ephron is here—from her writings on journalism, feminism, and being a woman (the notorious piece on being flat-chested, the clarion call of her commencement address at Wellesley) to her best-selling novel, Heartburn, written in the wake of her devastating divorce from Carl Bernstein; from her hilarious and touching screenplay for the movie When Harry Met Sally . . . (“I’ll have what she’s having”) to her recent play Lucky Guy (published here for the first time); from her ongoing love affair with food, recipes and all, to her extended takes on such controversial women as Lillian Hellman and Helen Gurley Brown; from her pithy blogs on politics to her moving meditations on aging (“I Feel Bad About My Neck”) and dying.Her superb writing, her unforgettable movies, her honesty and fearlessness, her nonpareil humor have made Nora Ephron an icon for America’s women—and not a few of its men.

Nora Ephron was the author of the hugely successful I Feel Bad About My Neck, I Remember Nothing, and Heartburn. She received Academy Award nominations for best original screenplay for When Harry Met Sally . . . , Silkwood, and Sleepless in Seattle, which she also directed. Her other credits include the recent hit play Lucky Guy and the films You’ve Got Mail and Julie & Julia, both of which she wrote and directed. She died in 2012.
