About the Author:

Kathleen Norris is the author of two books of poetry, Falling Off (1971) and The Middle of the World (1981) and has received awards from the Guggenheim and Bush foundations. She lives in Lemmon, South Dakota, with her husband.

Synopsis:

In Acedia & Me, the acclaimed author Kathleen Norris explicates and demystifies the forgotten but utterly relevant concept of acedia, a term that has often been understood as spiritual sloth, but really signifies the serious malady of being unable to care. With great insight and candor, Norris explores acedia through the geography of her life as a writer; her marriage and the challenges of commitment in the midst of grave illness; and her keen interest in the monastic tradition. She writes of her and her husband David's battles with acedia and its clinical cousin, depression.

Synopsis:Get ready for big laughs as Chelsea Handler lets loose with more comic
personal essays. In this new, no-holds-barred account of life on the
ridiculous side, Chelsea mines the wealth of material that is her
family, her sex life, her career, and her distinctively outrageous
worldview. Here is young Chelsea discovering "The Feeling" during a
third-grade sleepover and getting shafted by clueless parents over
Cabbage Patch dolls...and grown-up Chelsea at the mercy of the remote
control, Lean Pockets, and Sex and the City —but still managing
to convince her boyfriend that there are Swiss Army knives in the soles
of her $16,000 shoes. Through it all, Chelsea never lets anyone off the
hook, even herself, as she delivers page after page of irrevent humor,
biting wit, and deliciously off-kilter entertainment. Bio:Chelsea Handler is an accomplished stand-up comic and actress, as
well as the bestselling author of My Horizontal Life. She is the
star of her own late-night show on E!, Chelsea Lately; was one
of the stars of Girls Behaving Badly; has appeared on The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with David Letterman;
and has starred in her own half-hour Comedy Central special. Chelsea
makes regular appearances in comedy clubs across America and lives in
Los Angeles.
