A disease like none other -- He loves me he loves me not -- Illegitimi non carborundum -- Epilogue ; "Anthony Fauci's calming credible presence earned him the trust of millions during the COVID pandemic one of the most terrifying periods in modern history but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a key role. Here is his candid personal account of fighting to keep us safe for almost six decades facing public health crises head-on navigating the life-and-death consequences of hard decisions and advising seven presidents. On Call reaches back to Dr. Fauci's boyhood in Brooklyn New York in the 1940s and '50s and then into the 1980s as AIDS ravaged our communities. He describes the battle to find hope in those seemingly hopeless days as he led the search for treatments and cures bringing doctors researchers activists and politicians together in a unique alliance. He takes us inside the Oval Office during global crises bedside in hospital wards with people suffering from Ebola and HIV and deep into laboratories where he and his staff worked to unlock the mysteries of frightening diseases like influenza and SARS. Not all the drama is in the hospital; he recalls tense private meetings and negotiations with the White House and Congress on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home and the personal sacrifices sometimes required. To a doctor being "on call" does not just mean long sleepless nights; it means being ever prepared anticipating the next bad turn always remembering the human lives at stake and facing the worst situations with optimism. On Call documents a life of unflinching honesty and dedication. It will inspire readers who and grateful to Dr. Fauci and those who want to emulate him in public service. He is a true American hero the embodiment of speaking truth to power with dignity and results"-- Publisher ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> Viking, an imprint of Penguin Random House LLC, [New York, New York], 2024 hardcover‎

So begins Universal Harvester the haunting and masterfully unsettling new novel from John Darnielle author of the New York Times Bestseller and National Book Award Nominee Wolf in White Van. Jeremy works at the Video Hut in Nevada Iowa. It's a small town in the center of the state-the first a in Nevada pronounced ay. This is the late 1990s and even if the Hollywood Video in Ames poses an existential threat to Video Hut there are still regular customers a rush in the late afternoon. It's good enough for Jeremy: it's a job quiet and predictable and it gets him out of the house where he lives with his dad and where they both try to avoid missing Mom who died six years ago in a car wreck. But when a local schoolteacher comes in to return her copy of Targets-an old movie starring Boris Karloff one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store-she has an odd complaint: "There's something on it" she says but doesn't elaborate. Two days later a different customer returns a different tape a new release and says it's not defective exactly but altered: "There's another movie on this tape." Jeremy doesn't want to be curious but he brings the movies home to take a look. And indeed in the middle of each movie the screen blinks dark for a moment and the movie is replaced by a few minutes of jagged poorly lit home video. The scenes are odd and sometimes violent dark and deeply disquieting. There are no identifiable faces no dialogue or explanation-the first video has just the faint sound of someone breathing- but there are some recognizable landmarks. These have been shot just outside of town. In Universal Harvester the once placid Iowa fields and farmhouses now sinister and imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding. The novel will take Jeremy and those around him deeper into this landscape than they have ever expected to go. They will become part of a story that unfolds years into the past and years into the future part of an impossible search for something someone once lost that they would do anything to regain. "This chilling literary thriller follows a video store clerk as he deciphers a macabre mystery through clues scattered among the tapes his customers rent. A page-tuning homage to In Cold Blood and The Ring." -O: The Oprah Magazine ; "Universal Harvester is so wonderfully strange almost Lynchian in its juxtaposition of the banal and the creepy that my urge to know what the hell was going on caused me to go full throttle . . . But Darnielle hides so much beautiful commentary in the book's quieter moments that you would be remiss not to slow down." -Abram Scharf MTV News ; dark grey cloth in color pictorial dustjacket ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2017. hardcover‎

A first novel ; The Wonder Book of the Air leads us through the lives of three generations in a Southern family. At the center is Harrison Durrance who learns early that the nature of love is both transaction and transgression. As a young man he comes into his own during World War II where he falls for the magic of flight and thrives on the danger of battle. He has become a man of undeniable magnetism brash and vigorously optimistic. But when the war is over and he is back on the ground - in cold-war America - Harrison loses his bearings and catapults out of orbit. As his notions of the world begin to fail him and the people he claims to love fail to understand him he sabotages his career drinks to excess and drives his family into emotional bedlam.
