W.W. Norton & Co., Inc.

An inspirational guide to charting your inner landscape through personal writing. Why write out of our lives? What can it do for us? How can sharing our stories connect us with others? Acclaimed novelist and essayist Lynn Lauber chronicles her journey as a writer and longtime teacher at creative writing programs around the country. She explores how writing―both fiction and creative nonfiction―has served as a means of personal navigation, a healing and avenging force, and a way of calling up not only a lost daughter but also a lost self. Her story serves as encouragement for others to produce their own personal narratives. Each chapter includes inventive writing exercises and prompts, practical devices for moving past writer's blocks and self-censorship, and advice from Lauber's students as well as renowned authors. Listen to Me expands on the wisdom of Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones and Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, offering energizing tips, techniques, and anecdotes in combination with honest and personal experience-sharing.

Set in Union, Ohio, in the 50s and 60s--a place of suburban comfort, but nasty racial bigotry--this is the story of a young girl's growth from curiosity to adolescent defiance, as she crosses the color line for romance. "Moving and impossible to regret."--The New Yorker.

The Union, Ohio, of the 1950s and ´60s in this piercing novel is a place of suburban comfort and racial bigotry. There, Loretta Dardio, a young girl growing from curiosity into adolescent defiance, risks ostracism and heartbreak as she pursues a romance on the other side of the color line. "Takes us clearly into the heart of rambunctious sexuality [in a] standard American small town. Across its corners creep the influential shadows of that classic Ohio village, Sherwood Anderson´s Winesburg." New York Times Book Review "A fine collection. . . . moving and impossible to regret.". . The New Yorker " A winner courageous and absolutely right artistically." Chicago Tribune

Entanglement, the new novel based on the teachings of New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden, explores the exciting world of quantum physics through the experiences of twin brothers.
Charlie and Jack Franklin have always experienced life differently than your average brothers. As children, each was able to sense when the other was in danger, when the other was sad, or when the other was happy. However, as adults, these two brothers took different paths: Jack stayed in their hometown to practice his art and Charlie joined the army, only to be deployed to Afghanistan. 
After a frightening vision jolts Jack into consciousness, he begins his quest to get in touch with Charlie. Along the way, he encounters his high-school physics teacher, who helps him understand the connection the brothers have and the larger universal oneness of which we are all a part.
