 town with too many questions, and a sudden
      death that threatens to undo them all.

 A     t fifty-one years old, twins Jeanie and Julius
       still live with their mother, Dot, in rural iso-
 lation in the English countryside. The cottage they
 have shared their entire lives is their only protec-
 tion against the modernizing world around them.
 Inside its walls, they make music, and in its garden,
 they grow everything they need to survive. To an
 outsider, it looks like poverty; to them, it is home.
      But when Dot dies unexpectedly, the world
 they’ve so carefully created begins to fall apart.
 The cottage they love, and the security it offered,
 is taken back by their landlord, exposing the twins
 to harsh truths and even harsher realities. Seeing
 a new future, Julius becomes torn between the
 loyalty he feels towards his sister and his desire for
 independence, while Jeanie struggles to find work
 and a home for them both. And just when it seems
 there might be a way forward, a series of startling
 secrets from their mother’s past come to the               US $26.95 · Hardcover · CAN $35.95 · NONFICTION

her aunt had died of a rare illness called Chagas.
But as Hernández dug deeper, she discovered
that Chagas—or the kissing bug disease—is more
prevalent in the United States than the Zika
virus. Today, more than three hundred thousand
Americans have Chagas.
      After her aunt’s death, Hernández begins
searching for answers about who our nation
chooses to take care of and who we ignore.
Crisscrossing the country, she interviews pa-
tients, epidemiologists, and even veterinarians
with the Department of Defense. She learns
that outside of Latin America, the United States
is the only country with the native insects—the
“kissing bugs”—that carry the Chagas parasite.
She spends a night in southwest Texas hunting
the dreaded bug with university researchers.
She also gets to know patients, like a mother
whose premature baby was born infected with
the parasite, his heart already damaged. And she

W        hat does it feel like to fall in love too hard
         and too fast, to hate yourself in equal
and opposite measure? To live in such fear of
rejection that you drive friends and lovers away?
Welcome to my world. I’m Courtney, and I have
borderline personality disorder (BPD), along
with five million other people in the United
States. Though I’ve shown every classic symp-
tom of the disorder since childhood, I wasn’t
properly diagnosed until nearly a decade later,
because the prevailing theory is that most people
simply “grow out of it.” Not me.
     In my illustrated memoir The Way She Feels, I
want to share what it’s been like to live and love
with this disorder. Not just the hospitalizations,
treatments, and residential therapy, but the mo-
ments I found comfort in cereal, the color pink,
or mini corn dogs; the days I couldn’t style my
hair because I thought the blow-dryer was going

 Matthew Specktor explores family legacy,
the lives of artists, and a city that embodies
      both dreams and disillusionment.
                                                                            Always Crashing

I    n 2006, Matthew Specktor moved into a crum-
     bling Los Angeles apartment opposite the one
in which F. Scott Fitzgerald spent the last moments
                                                                                   On Art, Crisis, and Los
of his life. Fitz had been Specktor’s first literary idol,                          Angeles, California
someone whose own passage through Hollywood                                    a mem o ir b y MATTHE W S PE C KTO R
had, allegedly, broken him. Freshly divorced, pro-
fessionally flailing, and reeling from his mother’s
cancer diagnosis, Specktor was feeling unmoored.
But rather than giving in or “cracking up,” he em-
barked on an obsessive journey to make sense of the
mythologies of “success” and “failure” that haunt
the artist’s life and the American imagination.
       Part memoir, part cultural history, part portrait of
place, Always Crashing in the Same Car explores Hollywood
through a certain kind of collapse. It’s a vibrant and
intimate inspection of failure told through the lives of
iconic, if under-sung, artists—Carole Eastman, Eleanor
Perry, Warren Zevon, Tuesday Weld, and Hal Ashby,
among others—and the author’s own family history.
Through this constellation of Hollywood figures, he
unearths a fascinating alternate history of the city that
raised him and explores the ways in which curtailed
ambition, insufficiency, and loss shape all our lives.
       At once deeply personal and broadly erudite,
it is a story of an art form (the movies), a city (Los
Angeles), and one person’s attempt to create mean-
ing out of both. Above all, Specktor creates a moving                       US $17.95 · Trade Paper Original · CAN $23.95 · NONFICTION
