The Unnamed

By Joshua Ferris

the unusual :
happiness
marriage
a good life

the untimely :
snatched
from our shelter
our safe house of hearts

the unnerving :
changes
a wind whipped street
lifes cruel hard road

joshua ferris has courageously written a novel for all god's lonely children
his story shines even as it darkens
his characters sing even as they're crying
unnamed
unknowing

and finally
understanding

quite simply the novel of the year

undeniably

GREAT

Patenaude Start: 7:30 pm Monday, November 2, 7:30 p.m. Trotsky: Downfall of a Revolutionary BUY NOW Stanford University lecturer Bertrand M. Patenaude tells the dramatic story of Leon Trotsky's final years in exile in Mexico. Shedding new light on Trotsky's tumultuous friendship with painter Diego Rivera, his affair with Rivera's wife Frida Kahlo, and his torment as his family and comrades become victims of the Great Terror, Trotsky: Downfall of a Revolutionary brilliantly illuminates the fateful and dramatic life of one of history's most famous yet elusive figures. "This book deepens and enhances the sense of tragedy that always attends contemplation of 'the Old Man' and his last struggle." (—Christopher Hitchens) "This is an extraordinary, gripping piece of history that gets closer to Trotsky's essential character than any of the vast tomes devoted to him in the past. Perhaps most extraordinary is the page-turning narrative drive which keeps the reader enthralled despite knowing how the story ends. Don't miss it." (—Misha Glenny)
