Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn
An “assiduously researched” (The Wall Street Journal), “powerful...dispassionate new biography” (The Christian Science Monitor) of Woodrow Wilson, focused on his role in the long national struggle for racial equality and women’s voting rights. More than a century after his death, Woodrow Wilson’s influence on American politics remains strong while his contradictions loom larger than ever. With panoramic sweep, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn examines his life and times, focusing especially on the 28th president’s opposition to the movements for racial equality and women’s voting rights. The Wilson who emerges is a man superbly unsuited to the moment when, as he ascended to the presidency in 1912, the struggle for women’s voting rights in America reached the tipping point.

Such Times
Christopher Coe was a contemporary and friend of authors like Amy Hempel and Lynne Tillman, and a student of Gordon Lish. Such Times is his masterpiece; perhaps the defining novel of the AIDS era and a foundational work of gay literature. First published in 1993 shortly before his death, it has long been out of print and passed around like a secret handshake, and his cult following is now ready to break out into the open. 'Gives voice to the dreams and terrors of an entire generation.' --THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'The novel of the decade. Treasure it.' --THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER 'The gay novel of the decade.' --PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY 'Wrenching ... powerfully effective.' --SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE 'Perhaps the great novel of the AIDS epidemic.' --DAVID LEAVITT 'A fresh classic from the most elegant pen on the planet.' --PAUL RUDNICK In this hypnotically beautiful, haunting novel, Christopher Coe evokes a lost world of gay pleasure and privilege in the 1970s and early 80s, juxtaposed
