In his 1963 debut essay for the militant Quebec journal, Parti pris, André Brochu invoked the figure of the sixteenth-century skeptic Michel de Montaigne in the name of what Ralph Waldo Emerson, responding to the same over a century earlier, had called, «an original relation to the universe». «Écrire», wrote Brochu, «c'est redéfinir la relation originelle de l'homme à l'univers, c'est, comme écrit magnifiquement Montaigne, 'faire l'homme'...» By tracing the idealism of nineteenth-century American and twentieth-century Quebec writers back to Montaigne and his rejection of Aristotelian and Scholastic reason, The Renaissance of Impasse offers an alternate history to that found in much (post)Romantic criticism, wherein modern skepticism tends to be identified with, and so in a sense confined to, the project of Enlightenment reason. Key works from Thomas Carlyle, Emerson and Herman Melville to Hubert Aquin, Réjean Ducharme and Victory-Lévy Beaulieu serve to define and to refine the sense of an impasse - personal, social, spiritual, historical, and political - that accompanies the «modern» drive to renaissance.

The aliens have arrived, and they've already been taken to our leaders. The spiritual, pacifist alien race called the Imminent and the reptilian, warlike Zeastians seek to do battle with each other on Earth. To save their home planet from the destruction associated with war, they've cut a deal with the United States government to wage their confrontation in the Alaskan wilderness. But these aliens have brought two battles to Earth-one of flesh and one of words-and their true intentions are shrouded in secrecy. The Imminent and the Zeastians hope to fight without interference, but their fate is unwittingly altered by three humans: Benjamin, a lonely soul who is waiting for life to either get interesting or just end; Armin, a hippie ex-priest whose exotic new girlfriend is significantly scalier than he's used to; and Sheila, a grieving grandmother whose efforts to understand the circumstances of her granddaughter's bizarre death could uncover the machinations of an otherworldly political conspiracy. This inevitable clash of cultures could result in nothing less than the redefinition of existence itself. Hilarious and horrifying, "Imminent" is a story of murder, philosophy, friendship, and strange dietary preferences.

*****Pre-order and release week discounted price!***** From New York Times and USATODAY Bestselling Author Nicole Williams: Her heart can’t be destroyed by the same person twice. At least that’s what Clara Abbot finds herself hoping when she runs into Boone Cavanaugh less than an hour after returning to Charleston. As kids, Clara and Boone had been each other’s firsts, and no one or nothing could stand in the way of their forever. But all kids have to grow up sometime. The troubled son of the town drunk winding up with the firstborn daughter of the local royalty was a happy ending even the most imaginative of fairy tales couldn’t make believable. Their fable came to an end as most do: tragically. Boone might have done the leaving, but it was Clara who got away and made a new life for herself in California. But after seven years of dodging her hometown, she’s only back in Charleston for seven days to celebrate her sister’s wedding. She won’t let her overbearing family or her run-in with Boone rattle her—though rattling her is obviously Boone’s primary objective. Boone is her past and her past is behind her, a mere speck in the rearview. So why does she feel it coming back every time she looks at him? Why does she see it every time he looks back? Just when Clara’s life can’t possibly get more complicated, the ground shifts, and she discovers just how far her family was willing to go to keep the wrong boy out of her life. Was it really Boone who left her? Or was it Clara who left him? The truth will be hard to face. Especially when she discovers most of her life has been built on lies.
