Marie Sharp, das Alter Ego der Journalistin Virginia Ironside, ist zu jung, um einen Treppenlift zu benutzen, aber doch reif genug, um den Vorteil bequemer Schuhe zu schatzen. Sie geht gern auf Beerdigungen, die sie viel unterhaltsamer findet als Hochzeiten, sie tauscht den Gynakologen gegen einen Chiropraktiker, liest begeistert Todesanzeigen und fragt sich, ob sie wohl an Alzheimer erkranken wird. Denn Marie Sharp wird langsam alt - und ist verdammt froh daruber. Als ihr sechzigster Geburtstag naher ruckt, beschliesst Marie, ein Tagebuch zu beginnen und all die Ereignisse der nachsten Monate festzuhalten. Es wird ein turbulentes Jahr, in dessen Verlauf Marie Grossmutter wird, aber auch ihren besten Freund verliert; ein Jahr, in dem sie Feste feiert, neue Bekanntschaften schliesst und sich schliesslich erneut in ihren Jugendschwarm Archie verliebt. Vor allem aber ist es eine Zeit, in der sie es geniesst, endlich nicht mehr jung sein zu mussen…

Layoffs have become a fact of life in today's economy; initiated in the mid 1970s, they are now widely expected, and even accepted. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Disposable American, award-winning reporter Louis Uchitelle offers an eye-opening account of layoffs in America how they started, their questionable necessity, and their devastating psychological impact on individuals at all income levels. Through portraits of both executives and workers at companies such as Stanley Works, United Airlines, and Citigroup, Uchitelle shows how layoffs are in fact counterproductive, rarely promoting efficiency or profitability in the long term. Recognizing that a global competitive economy makes tightening necessary, Uchitelle offers specific recommendations for government policies that would encourage companies to avoid layoffs and help create jobs, benefiting workers, corporations, and the nation as a whole.

A searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece.
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food and each other.
The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire", are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
