Art lovers have found being in the presence of tremendous beauty so moving and emotionally taxing that they’ve suffered confusion, tachycardia, dizziness and hallucinations in art museums frequently enough for psychiatrists to give a name to this cluster of responses: Stendhal Syndrome.

Pineapple street by jenny jackson5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() At the heart of the novel are three women: Darley, who has given up access to her trust fund so that her husband won’t have to sign a romance-killing prenup Sasha, privately referred to as “the gold-digger” by the family she has married into and Gen Z-er Georgiana, a charity worker beginning to think her inheritance might be obscene.

Having been a hotshot book editor for the past two decades – Gabrielle Zevin, Katherine Heiny, Kevin Kwan and Emily St John Mandel are among her authors – Jackson knows it takes “a certain kind of artistry” to craft a novel that people want to inhale in one sitting. “I’m like, ‘Easy? Easy read? Don’t you mean wonderfully sophisticated and deeply moving and thought-provoking?’ But then” – she lights up – “a huge part of me is like… ‘yes!’” “I see that the post says, like, ‘this was such an easy read!’,” the Pineapple Street author tells me, before jokingly lowering her voice into a slightly threatening tone. Jenny Jackson’s novel has just come out and everyone is tagging her on Instagram. ![]() A Torre de Cristal by Robert Silverberg5/28/2023 ![]() An Urbmon is divided into 25 self-contained "cities" of 40 floors each, in ascending order of status, with administrators occupying the highest level.

For years he was content to live with uncertainty about his own dietary choices-but once he started a family, the moral dimensions of food became increasingly important. Bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his life oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is the groundbreaking moral examination of vegetarianism, farming, and the food we eat every day that inspired the documentary of the same name. ![]() Borrowing Privileges and Accessing Local LibrariesĮmail Help: Schedule Research Appointment.Instagram and Digital Initiatives Instagram.RIC Special Collections & College Archives. ![]() Lord brocktree book5/27/2023 ![]() "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
