On a bitter winter`s day in 1916, deep below the streets of New York, a group of men are working in one of the huge pressurised tunnels that will make up the subway system. Suddenly, a tiny hole appears in the roof of the tunnel and air rushes in, sucking the men up through the bed of the Hudson, to be suspended on a plume of water high above the river. Almost ninety years later, a homeless man stumbles on the same corridor and sets about making his home deep under the city.

America in the ’aughts—hilariously skewered, brilliantly dissected, and darkly diagnosed by one of the country’s most prominent social critics Now in paperback, Barbara Ehrenreich’s widely acclaimed This Land Is Their Land takes the measure of what we are left with after the cruelest decade in memory and finds lurid extremes all around. While members of the moneyed elite have bought up congressmen, many in the working class can barely buy lunch. While a wealthy minority obsessively consumes cosmetic surgery, the poor often go without health care for their children. And while the Masters of the Universe have thrown themselves into the casino economy, the less fortunate have been fed a diet of morality, marriage, and abstinence....

But no sooner have they succeeded than Cass` mother is kidnapped by evil chef Senor Hugo, who demands that they hand the fork over.

F. Scott Fitzgerald`s extraordinary career as a novelist ended abruptly and unhappily, but it began with one of the most brilliant first novels in the history of American literature. Published when its author was just twenty-three, This Side of Paradise is about the education of a youth, and to this universal story Fitzgerald brought the promise of everything that was new in the vigorous, restless America during the years following World War I. Amory Blaine-egoistic, versatile, callow, and imaginative-inhabits a book that is interwoven with songs, poems, playscripts, and questions and answers. His growth from self-absorption to sexual awareness and personhood is described by means of a continuous improvisatory energy and delight. Far...

"This Side of Paradise" is the book that established F. Scott Fitzgerald as the prophet and golden boy of the newly dawned Jazz Age. Published in 1920, when he was just twenty-three, the novel catapulted him to instant fame and financial success. The story of Amory Blaine, a privileged, aimless, and self-absorbed Princeton student, "This Side of Paradise" closely reflects Fitzgerald`s own experiences as an undergraduate. Amory Blaine`s journey from prep school to college to the First World War is an account of "the lost generation". The young "romantic egotist" symbolizes what Fitzgerald so memorably described as "a new generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken". A pastiche of literary styles,...
Increasingly disillusioned by the rejection slips that studded the walls of his room and his on/off engagement to Zelda Sayre, Fitzgerald began his third revision of the novel that was to become "This Side of Paradise". The story of a young man`s painful sexual and intellectual awakening that echoes Fitzgerald`s own career, it is also a portrait of the lost generation that followed straight on from the First World War, "grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken" and wanting money and success more than anything else.

The stories in This Year It Will Be Different powerfully evoke many lives - step-families grappling with exes, long-married couples faced with in-law problems, a wandering husband choosing between "the other woman" and his wife, a child caught in grown-up tugs-of-war - during the one holiday when feelings cannot be easily hidden.
