A delicate and darkly witty reflection on loss, marriage, writing, and life in New York from an acclaimed biographer and memoirist. Dorothy Gallagher’s husband, Ben Sonnenberg, died in 2010. He had suffered from multiple sclerosis for many years and was almost completely paralyzed, but his wonderful, playful mind remained quite undimmed. In the ten sections of Stories I Forgot to Tell You, Gallagher moves freely and intuitively between the present and the past to evoke the life they made together and her life after his death, alone and yet at the same time never without thoughts of him, in a present that is haunted but also comforted by the recollection of their common past. She talks—the whole book is written conversationally, confidingly, unpretentiously—about small things, such as moving into a new apartment and setting it up, growing tomatoes on a new deck, and as she does she recalls her missing husband’s elegant clothes and British affectations, what she knew about him and didn’t know, the devastating toll of his disease and the ways they found to deal with it. She talks about their two dogs and their cat, Bones, and the role that a photograph she never took had in bringing her together with her husband. Her mother, eventually succumbing to dementia, is also here, along with friends, an old typewriter, episodes from a writing life, and her husband’s last days. The stories Gallagher has to tell, as quirky as they are profound, could not be more ordinary, and yet her glancing, wry approach to memory and life gives them an extraordinary resonance that makes the reader feel both the logic and the mystery of a couple’s common existence. Her prose is perfectly pitched and her eye for detail unerring. This slim book about irremediable loss and unending love distills the essence of a lifetime.

When the superannuated biblical Sarah learned that she would give birth to a son, she burst out laughing, and that son's name-Isaac-was forever a testimony to this moment of holy mirth. In The Mother of All Laughter: Sarah & the Genesis of Comedy, Terry Lindvall argues that there is a biblical place for laughter. At times, he lets truth be obscured by a good story (as when he cites the famous Neil Armstrong/"Mr. Gorsky" urban legend as fact), but he raises important points about humor for Christians.

Ninety years after W.E.B. Du Bois first articulated the need for "the equivalent of a black Encyclopedia Britannica," Kwame Anthony Appiah and Henry Louis Gates Jr., realized his vision by publishing Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience in 1999. This new, greatly expanded edition of the original work broadens the foundation provided by Africana. Including more than one million new words, Africana has been completely updated and revised. New entries on African kingdoms have been added, bibliographies now accompany most articles, and the encyclopedia's coverage of the African diaspora in Latin America and the Caribbean has been expanded, transforming the set into the most authoritative research and scholarly reference set on the African experience ever created. More than 4,000 articles cover prominent individuals, events, trends, places, political movements, art forms, business and trade, religion, ethnic groups, organizations and countries on both sides of the Atlantic. African American history and culture in the present-day United States receive a strong emphasis, but African American history and culture throughout the rest of the Americas and their origins in African itself have an equally strong presence. The articles that make up Africana cover subjects ranging from affirmative action to zydeco and span over four million years from the earlies-known hominids, to Sean "Diddy" Combs. With entries ranging from the African ethnic groups to members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Africana, Second Edition, conveys the history and scope of cultural expression of people of African descent with unprecedented depth.

Prathyagrahi was a successful rich man amassed lot of wealth but at the age of ninety six he suddenly became bedridden. In the beginning of his life, Prathyagrahi’s family was very poor but enthusiastic and intelligent Prathyagrahi always wanted to be rich. Suddenly he became quite rich in his young days itself and there was a rumor that Prathyagrahi took the help of some spirits to become rich like that. But Prathyagrahi never has agreed to that and his wife Savitri also could not know the truth however much hard she tried. Even she always suspected, Savitri did not convince and confirm in herself that Prathyagrahi took the help of some evil power to become rich like that, until she heard her granddaughter Ragini, possessed by the bad angel Upanya talking at bedridden Prathyagrahi that she would take revenge on him and his family as he took help from her and betrayed her and her gang. Feeling very much fear that Upanya, the bad angel, put her words into action, at the suggestion of his whole family, Prathyagrahi’s son Sadan invited his parapsychologist friend Anurag to his home to solve the problem of that evil power. Once came into the house of his friend Sadan, Anurag started trying in all the ways possible to know about that evil power and solve the problem. He suspected that some spirit was trying to contact the people in Prathyagrahi’s room and communicate something because of the strange experiences of nurses at Prathyagrahi and Prathyagrahi’s daughter Mandakini in that room. He made Yamuna, the night time nurse at Prathyagrahi to act as medium to that spirit and that spirit, who was Prathyagrahi himself, came into Yamuna and communicated with his family. Prathyagrahi’s sorcerer friend Viloma gave him the ability to separate himself from the body and communicate with his family members. Prathyagrahi at last revealed his secret through Yamuna that he took the help of Upanya the bad angel to become rich in his life promising to help it and its gang in return in their deeds but after coming to know about the bad nature of Upanya and her gang he got them spell-bounded to metal dolls, put them in a metal pot and buried deep under earth by his friend and sorcerer Viloma. But after eighty or so of years, the place where those bad angels were buried was excavated, that pot has been taken out from there and when the metal dolls were touched with impure hands they lost their power and those bad angels could become free. Viloma once again made those dolls became powerful and got them reached Prathyagrahi. As suggested by Prathyagrahi, Anurag made contact with Viloma, the sorcerer, to know how to get rid of those bad angels again. Viloma said to him, on a peculiar solar eclipse day, which comes on a Sunday, first week, first month in a year, luckily which was going to happen soon, those bad angels would be with very little power and on that day those bad angels could be easily invited into those metal dolls, spell-bounded and buried under earth after putting them in a special metal pot as he did on such a peculiar solar eclipse day eighty years or so back. But some conditions have to be met with to do that and Viloma elaborated them to Anurag. Those conditions were carefully met with by Anurag and Sadan’s family members and on the peculiar solar eclipse day, Viloma possessing Anurag invited those bad angels into those dolls, spell-bounded them and buried them deep under earth just as he did eighty years or so before. But before being buried like that, Upanya and her gang, so desperately tried to escape from that and used Dr.Mallikarjun who attended on Prathyagrahi and Dr.Sasichandan who is a junior doctor in Dr.Mallikarjun’s hospital. Samita, a nurse, also has been used by Upanya to spoil the plans of Anurag and Viloma. But however much hard they tried none of their plans worked and they had to meet with the tragic end!
