Book excerpt: This thrilling YA fantasy debut follows seventeen-year-old Etta Lark as she navigates the underworld of Craewick to pull off the heist of a lifetime. A YALSA (The Young Adult Library Services Association) Teens' Top Ten Book for 2020, Mansy crafts a grim reality where memories are worth their weight in gold. In the city of Craewick, memories reign. The power-obsessed ruler of the city, Madame, has cultivated a society in which memories are currency, citizens are divided by ability, and Gifted individuals can take memories from others through touch as they please. Seventeen-year-old Etta Lark is desperate to live outside of the corrupt culture, but she grapples with the guilt of an accident that has left her mother bedridden in the city's asylum. When Madame threatens to put her mother up for auction, a Craewick practice in which a "criminal's" memories are sold to the highest bidder before being killed, Etta will do whatever it takes to save her. Even if it means rejoining the Shadows, the rebel group she swore off in the wake of the accident years earlier. To rescue her mother, Etta must prove her allegiance to the Shadows by stealing a memorized map of the Maze, a formidable prison created by the bloodthirsty ruler of a neighboring Realm. Etta faces startling attacks, unexpected romance, and, above all, her own past as she uncovers a conspiracy that challenges everything she knew about herself and the world around her. In a place where nothing is what it seems, can Etta ever become more than a memory thief? Perfect for fans of high-stakemagical heists such as: Leigh Bardugo (Six of Crows) Victoria Aveyard (Red Queen) Roshani Chokshi (The Gilded Wolves) "Mansy's debut will delight fantasy readers who revel in fully developed settings and unusual powers."- Booklist "A welcome addition to the YA fantasy canon, The Memory Thief is a suspenseful page-turner, delightfully chock full of unexpected twists and turns."- Shelf Awareness

This book was released on 2006-10-19 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a meditation on memory and on the ways in which memory has operated in the work of writers for whom the Holocaust was a defining event. It is also an exploration of the ways in which fiction and drama have attempted to approach a subject so resistant to the imagination. Beginning with W. G. Sebald, for whom memory and the Holocaust were the roots of a special fascination, Bigsby moves on to consider those writers Sebald himself valued, including Arthur Miller, Anne Frank, Primo Levi and Peter Weiss, and those whose lives crossed in the bleak world of the camps, in fact or fiction. The book offers a chain of memories. It sets witness against fiction, truth against wilful deceit. It asks the question who owns the Holocaust - those who died, those who survived to bear witness, those who appropriated its victims to shape their own necessities.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK A modern classic of personal journalism, The Orchid Thief is Susan Orlean’s wickedly funny, elegant, and captivating tale of an amazing obsession. Determined to clone an endangered flower—the rare ghost orchid Polyrrhiza lindenii—a deeply eccentric and oddly attractive man named John Laroche leads Orlean on an unforgettable tour of America’s strange flower-selling subculture, through Florida’s swamps and beyond, along with the Seminoles who help him and the forces of justice who fight him. In the end, Orlean—and the reader—will have more respect for underdog determination and a powerful new definition of passion. In this new edition, coming fifteen years after its initial publication and twenty years after she first met the “orchid thief,” Orlean revisits this unforgettable world, and the route by which it was brought to the screen in the film Adaptation, in a new retrospective essay.

As "Sherlock Holmes, consulting detective," Charlotte Holmes has solved murders and found missing individuals. But she has never stolen a priceless artwork—or rather, made away with the secrets hidden behind a much-coveted canvas. But Mrs. Watson is desperate to help her old friend recover those secrets and Charlotte finds herself involved in a fever-paced scheme to infiltrate a glamorous Yuletide ball where the painting is one handshake away from being sold and the secrets a bare breath from exposure. Her dear friend Lord Ingram, her sister Livia, Livia's admirer Stephen Marbleton—everyone pitches in to help and everyone has a grand time. But nothing about this adventure is what it seems and disaster is biding time on the grounds of a glittering French chateau, waiting only for Charlotte to make a single mistake...

For forty years, David Sedaris has kept a diary in which he records everything that captures his attention-overheard comments, salacious gossip, soap opera plot twists, secrets confided by total strangers. These observations are the source code for his finest work, and through them he has honed his cunning, surprising sentences. Now, Sedaris shares his private writings with the world. Theft by Finding, the first of two volumes, is the story of how a drug-abusing dropout with a weakness for the International House of Pancakes and a chronic inability to hold down a real job became one of the funniest people on the planet. Written with a sharp eye and ear for the bizarre, the beautiful, and the uncomfortable, and with a generosity of spirit that even a misanthropic sense of humor can't fully disguise, Theft By Finding proves that Sedaris is one of our great modern observers. It's a potent reminder that when you're as perceptive and curious as Sedaris, there's no such thing as a boring day.

Book excerpt: When you're chasing memories to survive, it's better to leave the past behind ... Seven is a thief with a difference - he steals downloadable memories from banks and memoriums to sell onto London's black market, trading secrets and hidden pasts for a chance at a future of his own. He makes sure he keeps some special stuff back to 'surf' himself though - it's the only real form of entertainment he can afford. But one night, as Seven is breaking into a private memorium in a wealthy part of London, he is caught in the act by one of its residents: Alba, the teenage daughter of London's most famous criminal prosecutor. Instead of giving him away, Alba promises to keep Seven's secret - as long as he allows her to go memory-surfing herself. In doing so, they discover a hidden memory about Seven's past, revealing a shocking secret about his childhood, the government and a mysterious experiment known as The Memory Keepers ... Now Seven and Alba will have to race against time to unlock the maze of The Memory Keepers - but can they keep themselves out of harm's way before the London Guard - and Alba's father - catches up with them?

Book excerpt: The Memory Thief: A Dive into the Depths of the Mind In the realm of cutting-edge neuroscience, where the intricate workings of the human brain are constantly being explored, Dr. Emma Taylor stands as a beacon of brilliance. Driven by an insatiable curiosity about the brain's capacity to store and retrieve memories, she has dedicated her life to unraveling the mysteries of human consciousness. Years of relentless research and experimentation have culminated in a groundbreaking invention that could revolutionize our understanding of memory and its profound impact on our lives. Emma's masterpiece, the "Memory Thief," is a marvel of technological ingenuity. This sleek, futuristic headset holds the power to extract and record memories from one individual's mind and transfer them to another. Imagine the possibilities: veterans tormented by the horrors of war could finally find solace by transferring their traumatic memories, Alzheimer's patients could reclaim their lost identities, and unsolved crimes could be cracked wide open by accessing the memories of witnesses long forgotten. The implications of Emma's invention are staggering, extending far beyond the realm of medicine and criminal justice. With the Memory Thief, knowledge and experiences could be shared across continents, bridging cultural divides and fostering a deeper understanding of the human condition. The potential to learn from the memories of others, to relive historical events, or to simply share cherished moments with loved ones is a tantalizing prospect that could reshape the very fabric of society. Emma's initial trials with the Memory Thief are met with resounding success. She vividly recalls long-forgotten childhood memories, experiencing them with a clarity and intensity that transports her back in time. The world watches in awe as she demonstrates the device's capabilities, igniting a spark of hope for a future where memories can be harnessed for the betterment of humanity. But as Emma basks in the glow of her achievement, a shadow lurks in the background, threatening to extinguish the flame of progress. Dr. Viktor Kovalsky, a rival scientist driven by ambition and a thirst for power, has been secretly pursuing a similar project. When he learns of Emma's breakthrough, he becomes consumed by envy and a desire to control this revolutionary technology. Kovalsky's motives are far from noble. He sees the Memory Thief not as a tool for healing and understanding, but as a weapon to manipulate and control. He envisions a world where he can erase the memories of entire populations, wiping out their collective knowledge and leaving them vulnerable to his influence. With humanity stripped of its past, Kovalsky believes he can mold society in his own twisted image, ushering in an era of darkness and oppression. Driven by his sinister agenda, Kovalsky steals the Memory Thief from Emma, modifying it to erase memories instead of transferring them. He becomes the eponymous "Memory Thief," a figure who preys on the very essence of human identity, stealing the memories that define who we are. As Kovalsky's insidious plan unfolds, Emma finds herself in a race against time to stop him. She must reclaim her invention and expose his true intentions before he can plunge the world into a dystopian nightmare where history is erased and the human spirit is crushed. The Memory Thief is a thrilling tale of scientific ambition, moral dilemmas, and the power of memory. It explores the profound impact that memories have on our lives, shaping our identities, our relationships, and our understanding of the world around us. As Emma and Kovalsky engage in a battle of wits and technology, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, reminding us that the most dangerous threats often come from those who seek to control the very essence of what makes us human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Aversion and Erasure, Carolyn J. Dean offers a bold account of how the Holocaust's status as humanity's most terrible example of evil has shaped contemporary discourses about victims in the West. Popular and scholarly attention to the Holocaust has led some observers to conclude that a "surfeit of Jewish memory" is obscuring the suffering of other peoples. Dean explores the pervasive idea that suffering and trauma in the United States and Western Europe have become central to identity, with victims competing for recognition by displaying their collective wounds.She argues that this notion has never been examined systematically even though it now possesses the force of self-evidence. It developed in nascent form after World War II, when the near-annihilation of European Jewry began to transform patriotic mourning into a slogan of "Never Again": as the Holocaust demonstrated, all people might become victims because of their ethnicity, race, gender, or sexuality—because of who they are.The recent concept that suffering is central to identity and that Jewish suffering under Nazism is iconic of modern evil has dominated public discourse since the 1980s.Dean argues that we believe that the rational contestation of grievances in democratic societies is being replaced by the proclamation of injury and the desire to be a victim. Such dramatic and yet culturally powerful assertions, however, cast suspicion on victims and define their credibility in new ways that require analysis. Dean's latest book summons anyone concerned with human rights to recognize the impact of cultural ideals of "deserving" and "undeserving" victims on those who have suffered.
