But what she finds is not only that things aren't the way she has been told, but that someone else has been messing with her fate.

"Dristikona" is an anthology of narratives woven through the lens of an Indian Globetrotter, spanning across memories scattered across the globe. These tales are deeply personal, intricately interwoven with the artistry of people I've encountered, engaged with, or been regaled about. As I traversed each fleeting moment, others embarked on their own unique journeys of perception, encapsulating the world through their distinct viewpoints. With this collection, I aspired to craft a captivating mosaic that celebrates the rich diversity of perspectives, encapsulating a multitude of experiences and lessons. Some of these stories are ingeniously reframed to offer glimpses from another's vantage point, transforming into intriguing tales of suffering, empathy and understanding.

For fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Girl, Interrupted, and A.S. King, National Book Award-finalist Adele Griffin tells the fully illustrated story of a brilliant young artist, her mysterious death, and the fandom that won't let her go. From the moment she stepped foot in NYC, Addison Stone’s subversive street art made her someone to watch, and her violent drowning left her fans and critics craving to know more. I conducted interviews with those who knew her best—including close friends, family, teachers, mentors, art dealers, boyfriends, and critics—and retraced the tumultuous path of Addison's life. I hope I can shed new light on what really happened the night of July 28. —Adele Griffin

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
