Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket

An NPR Best Book of the Year * A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice * An Electric Literature Best Short Story Collection of the Year * Finalist for the Chautauqua Prize The "often hilarious and always compassionate" (New York Times Book Review) collected stories of a critically acclaimed, award-winning “American literary treasure” (Boston Globe), now in paperback-with a foreword by Elizabeth Strout. From her many well-loved novels, Hilma Wolitzer-now ninety-one years old and at the top of her game-has gained a reputation as one of our best fiction writers, who “raises ordinary people and everyday occurrences to a new height.” (Washington Post) These collected short stories-most of them originally published in magazines including Esquire and the Saturday Evening Post, in the 1960s and 1970s, along with a new story that brings her early characters into the present-are evocative of an era that still resonates deeply today. In the title story, a bystander tries to soothe a woman who seems to have cracked under the pressures of her life. And in several linked stories throughout, the relationship between the narrator and her husband unfolds in telling and often hilarious vignettes. Of their time and yet timeless, Wolitzer's stories zero in on the domestic sphere with wit, candor, grace, and an acutely observant eye. Brilliantly capturing the tensions and contradictions of daily life, Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket is full of heart and insight, providing a lens into a world that was often unseen at the time, and often overlooked now-reintroducing a beloved writer to be embraced by a whole new generation of readers.

Christ Incognito

God is the proverbial oversized elephant in the room. There is no appropriate place, no comfortable platform for God in our secularizing world?and yet the subject keeps coming up. We can't help ourselves. There are large issues, huge questions, constant crises that are beyond our ability to address and resolve, if we are honest and paying attention. And there are awesome wonders we cannot adequately describe or account for. And there is a persistent riddle inside our own history as a human race that keeps popping up, though we are often preoccupied with lesser things or try to suppress the unsettling awareness.This book is a bold and brazen attempt to identify the presence of God, ancient and contemporary-driven by the discovery that God is active and invested in our world and in our lives. This is a shock to us. But not really. We have always suspected that there is more to life than the routine and the mundane, something above and behind this magnificent creation, that there is much more to it all than meets the eye. Christ Incognito emerges from the Gospel accounts that introduce us to Jesus of Nazareth-yes that Jesus, a strange and compelling personality who is powerfully present, maddeningly unpredictable, and completely unmanageable. Read this book for fresh insight into the one called Christ. And look for him. He's here. He's always been here, recognized or not. Never far from you. No one beyond his reach. Offering more than you imagine.
