When Friedrich Nietzsche made angel food cake, did the angel survive the encounter? When Sigmund Freud handled raw fish, where did his thoughts take him? Exactly what did Dorothy Parker mean by the term &ldquo;Parker House Rolls?&rdquo; And how did Ernest Hemingway handle his favorite bullfight souvenirs? A literary humor book for those who enjoy smashing idols fondly, NIETZSCHE&rsquo;S ANGEL FOOD CAKE . . . and Other &ldquo;Recipes&rdquo; for the Intellectually Famished allows twenty-two cultural monoliths to share their transcendently succulent recipes. Humankind will be the wiser for it.\nFor those who like cookery to insinuate the hard questions, NIETZSCHE&rsquo;S ANGEL FOOD CAKE offers a funny, surprisingly informative, and entirely whirlwind tour of civilization. Not really a cookbook, it&rsquo;s for lovers of literature, history, art, music, and philosophy, for foodies, and for anyone with a good liberal arts education, no matter how vaguely they remember it.

In the spring of 1956, a young American photographer falls in love with a Cuban line cook in New York. They have a ten-week affair which ends when Immigration arrests and deports him, and by then Clare Miller is pregnant. Few Americans know the name Camilo Cienfuegos. All Cubans do. He was the most charismatic of Castro’s rebel commanders. But Clare, who never hears from him after he’s deported, believes he has died in Fidel’s invasion of the island. She marries a wealthy Cuban businessman and moves to Cuba with her two-year-old daughter, only to discover that her first love is not only still alive, he’s head of the Cuban Army. Clare knows that Camilo likes to dance and drink. He likes women, and too many women like him. Though his courage is legendary, when he comes to visit at night he’s afraid of his daughter’s moods. He feeds her, he reads to her, he changes her diapers, but for him an all-night march would be easier. Clare worries that he’ll never make a good parent, but she cannot resist him.

Genre Fiction

Chef-owner Stocker is short, loud and profane, a passionate sensualist and a bully--yet despite his manifest flaws, brilliantly clean and delectable flavors emerge from his greasy restaurant kitchen. His unassailable self-confidence falters when he falls in love with Angela, a half-Vietnamese woman as strong-willed as himself. The stories of others intertwine in the narrative: motherly waitress Crystal; Megan, an insecure young actor trying to find her footing in New York; pastry chef, Jon, whose finicky, meticulous work habits drive Stocker wild, and Keith, Jon's patient, kindly lover. The novel tells a story about food, love, and a small, hot restaurant kitchen at the heart of one of the world's great cities.

WHAT IF... Robin Hood defeated his nemesis Prince John and became king? 
In a cottage near Nottingham, the low-born son of the shire's baron is raised by his peasant mother to respect the poor and keep his honor. "Deeds make a man, Robert. Not a title," she tells her son. Spanning a half-century in the life and times of Robin Hood, this action packed and erotic Medieval thriller vividly explores the seductive undertow of power as it transforms a legendary hero into a ruthless tyrant. Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, Little John, King Richard and the legend’s other characters are complex figures alive with raw passions, dark impulses, ribald humor and diverse genders.\n"A sexy retelling of the Robin Hood legend."

“A rousing portrait of a brave, imperfect woman”---BookLife 
“Masterful...inviting...thought-provoking” —Midwest Book Review\nVirginia and Joe Thorndike have been married for twenty-two years, and now she's in love with a surgeon thirteen years her junior. She leaves her husband and flies to Miami to start living with Rich Villamano, but there he tells her he has changed his mind and they must go their own ways. In an instant their four-year affair is over. She takes off in his car, heading north with no luggage, no hope or destination. She buys a bottle of gin and drinks it straight. Afraid that she’ll kill herself or someone else on the road, she abandons the car, flies to New York and takes an airport hotel room. She has no home and nowhere to go.\nIn this biographical novel, much is remembered and much imagined. Flashbacks from Virginia’s youth expose the sexual abuse by her father, an affair with her high school diving coach, and her marriage to a jealous first husband. Virginia’s troubles echo the plight of both Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina, in this fearless book about families, love and loss.
