Born in the Bronx, Guy Trebay was raised in an atmosphere of privilege on Long Island’s North Shore after his entrepreneurial father struck business gold with Hawaiian Surf, a wildly successful cologne company that capitalized on the optimism of the 1960s as marketed to “an adventurous new breed of men.’’ But behind the facade of material prosperity lay the emotional disarray of a household dominated by a charismatic, con artist father, a glamorous yet lost and careless mother, a family haunted by tragedy.

In literary circles of the mid-twentieth century, father and son, Ikbal and Idries Shah, spread seductive accounts of a mystical Middle East. Pitching themselves as the authentic voice of the Muslim world, they penned travelogues and exotic potboilers alongside weighty tomes on Islam and politics.

For decades, Janet Malcolm's books and dispatches for the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books poked and prodded at reportorial and biographical convention, gesturing toward the artifice that underpins both public and private selves. In Still Pictures, she turns her gimlet eye on her own life—a task demanding a writer just as peerlessly skillful as she was widely known to be. Still Pictures, then, is not the story of a life but an event on its own terms, an encounter with identity and family photographs as poignant and original as anything since Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida.

When Billy Reilly vanished, his parents embarked on a desperate search for answers. Was their son’s disappearance connected to his mysterious work for the FBI, or was it a personal quest gone wrong? Only when Wall Street Journal reporter Brett Forrest embarks on his own investigation does a picture emerge: of the FBI's exploitation of US citizens through a secretive intelligence program, a young man's lust for adventure within the world's conflicts, and the costs of a rising clash between Moscow and Washington.

Though Michelle Miller was an award-winning broadcast journalist for CBS News, few people in her life knew the painful secret she carried: her mother had abandoned her at birth. Los Angeles in 1967 was deeply segregated, and her mother—a Chicana hospital administrator who presented as white, had kept her affair with Michelle’s father, Dr. Ross Miller, a married trauma surgeon and Compton’s first Black city councilman—hidden, along with the unplanned pregnancy. Raised largely by her father and her paternal grandmother, Michelle had no knowledge of the woman whose genes she shared. Then, fate intervened when Michelle was twenty-two. As her father lay stricken with cancer, he told her, “Go and find your mother.”

"Les personnes que je croise me regardent comme une vieille connaissance à laquelle elles associent deux images contradictoires : la présentatrice d'une émission qui fut célèbre il y a plus de vingt ans et qui demeure dans la mémoire collective ; la femme qui fit, à son corps défendant, des milliers de "unes" de journaux à l'occasion d'un scandale planétaire impliquant son mari. N'étant pas seulement l'une et ne me reconnaissant pas dans l'autre, je me suis finalement résolue à écrire mes Mémoires, après y avoir été longtemps réticente."

Le premier souvenir de solitude ? Un petit garçon coiffé en brosse qui réclame sa mère à l'accueil d'un grand magasin. Plus tard, c'est un enfant de 10 ans qui nage seul dans la mer du nord et qui, lorsqu'il se retourne, découvre la plage vide : personne ne l'a attendu. Puis c'est la première danse refusée, la première rupture, le premier deuil, mais c'est aussi tous ces moments choisis, voulus, espérés, goutés : seul avec un livre, avec une musique, seul à regarder les autres, seul en écrivant.

Es war der größte Fälschungsskandal seit Jahrzehnten: Ein Reporter des "Spiegel" hatte Reportagen und Interviews aus dem In- und Ausland geliefert, bewegend und oftmals mit dem Anstrich des Besonderen. Sie alle wurden vom "Spiegel" und seiner legendären Dokumentation geprüft und abgenommen, sie wurden gedruckt, und der Autor Claas Relotius wurde mit Preisen geradezu überhäuft. Aber: Sie waren - ganz oder zum Teil - frei erfunden. Juan Moreno hat, eher unfreiwillig und gegen heftigen Widerstand im "Spiegel", die Fälschungen aufgedeckt.

On August 4, 1940, an unassuming American journalist named Varian Fry made his way to Marseilles, France, carrying in his pockets the names of approximately 200 artists and intellectuals - all enemies of the new Nazi regime. As a volunteer for the Emergency Rescue Committee, Fry’s mission was to help these refugees flee to safety, then return home two weeks later. As more and more people came to him for assistance, however, he realized the situation was far worse than anyone in America had suspected.
