With key contributors from the UK, France and the US, chapters range from analyses of her work on stage and screen to her collaborations with designers and photographers, an analysis of her fan base, her interior designs and the 'public ownership' of Leigh's celebrity status during her lifetime and beyond.

        Thou Shalt Forget the Fire

        by Gabriela Riveros

        The story of the Sephardi Jew’s exodus from Spain and Portugal —silenced across four centuries— and their struggle to survive migrations, epidemics, hurricanes, war, prejudice, torture, political intrigues, and betrayals superbly narrated by Gabriela Riveros’ expert voice. Olvidarás el Fuego is the very first novel that chronicles this poignant story, the tragedy of the Carvajal lineage and the fate of their manuscripts and memoirs, found in 2016 at an auction house in New York, after having been stolen from the National Archives.  Through vivid, flesh-and-blood characters, we will witness their heroic, underground resistance, the fight of both men and women, entire families who gave their lives for their right to freedom of thought, belief, and religion. From Europe to New Spain, from Africa to Asia, the protagonists guard an ancestral secret, all while they are besieged by a political context in which cultural diversity was not only considered a sin, but a crime against the Estate.

        How I Killed My Father

        by Sara Jaramillo Klinkert

        Following It Would Be Night in Caracas comes the latest revelation in Latin‐American literature: an astonishing first novel based on true events. “When I was eleven years old, a hitman killed my father. I was just a young girl, who never thought something like that could happen. But it happened. It still pains me to think that just thirty‐five grams of steel and a gram of gunpowder was enough to end a family. I witnessed it. It ended mine. However, some thirty years later, here we are: with a dead father and a whole host of questions that nobody’s been able to answer. We’re still afloat, although we’ve been close to shipwreck many times. There’s two less crew members now, because one of my triplet brothers was also killed. This is the story of my family. To write it, I had to resurrect my father; and so this is also the story of how after his death, I had to kill him again to heal myself: a death impacts those who are left, not those who die. Because burying the body of a father to five children is by no means the end of a tragic story, rather only the beginning. I killed my father so that he could live forever in this book.”_Sara Jaramillo Klinkert A stunningly powerful tale in the context of normalized violence in Colombia, and the devastating impacts it carries on the lives of the individuals and families trying to live through such turbulent times.

        Trinitarian Ecclesiology

        Charles Journet, the Divine Missions, and the Mystery of the Church

        by John F. O'Neill

        Venerable Fulton Sheen once famously said that “There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be – which is, of course, quite a different thing.” What is the true understanding of the mystery of the Church? In Lumen Gentium, the Church famously identifies herself as the sacrament of salvation, and various attempts have been made at developing an ecclesiology rooted in this idea. Another approach, nevertheless, prominent in the opening chapter of Lumen Gentium, is the relation of the Church to the Trinity in light of the divine missions, especially those of the Incarnation and Pentecost. Trinitarian Ecclesiology is an example of this approach to the mystery of the Church that places the divine missions at the head and the heart of the work. The order of Journet's work is based on the four causes of the Church. Journet situates the treatise on the hierarchy in its proper place as belonging to the efficient cause of the Church in order to treat the more central mystery of the Church in her formal and material causes, namely the sanctifying gift of fully Christic charity and its visible manifestation. While Journet’s magisterial work may already be identified as a Trinitarian Ecclesiology, recent research into the Trinitarian theology of St. Thomas Aquinas has deepened our understanding of his teaching, particularly in the way that creatures can relate to the divine persons in the divine missions. With a clearer understanding of the relation of creatures to the divine persons rooted in grace and its effects, a deeper vision of the mystery of the Church emerges, one that sees the Church as the visible mission of the Holy Spirit, inseparably joined with the visible mission of the Son in the Incarnation. The Great Mystery of Christ and the Church is the unity of the visible missions of the Son and the Spirit who have been sent into the world for our salvation.

        The Splendor of the Church in Mary

        Henri de Lubac, Vatican II, and Marian Ressourcement

        by Theresa Marie Chau Nguyen, Paul McPartlan

        Henri de Lubac, SJ, (1896-1991) is one of the most renowned theologians of the twentieth century. Numerous studies have been undertaken to examine his many contributions to theology, but little attention has been paid to the specific topic of the relationship of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Church in his writings. This was a topic that gave rise to contentious discussion at the Second Vatican Council, and although the Council fathers approved the integration of Marian doctrine into the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, this synthesis of Mariology and ecclesiology has been largely neglected in theology today. The Splendor of the Church in Mary retrieves de Lubac’s Marian ecclesiology and revives an understanding and appreciation of its enduring influence at the Vatican Council and beyond. The first part examines de Lubac’s pre-conciliar works which evince a steady biblical and patristic ressourcement of Marian themes. It also explores his writings on Teilhard de Chardin’s Eternal Feminine, Christian mysticism, and Amida Buddhism and discovers in them the essential building blocks of his Marian thought. The second part turns to the Second Vatican Council and post-conciliar developments. Rereading the debates and texts of Lumen Gentium through a Marian lens brings to light the extent of de Lubac’s influence: Méditation sur l’Eglise (1953), his principal work on Mary and the Church, anticipated the structure and content of Lumen Gentium a decade before the Council. De Lubac’s writings provided a theological compass for the Council fathers, and they continue to provide direction and orientation for ecclesiological discourse today. The Splendor of the Church in Mary culminates in a constructive analysis of one of the most pressing pastoral and ecclesiological questions of our times: the question of the relationship of the universal and particular churches. Directly engaging the crucial debate between then-Cardinal Ratzinger and Cardinal Kasper, it proposes that de Lubac’s Mariology effectively offers a new perspective and a refreshing path forward. Attentive to the mystical identification of Mary and the Church, de Lubac’s ressourcement has the potential to re-enchant and advance contemporary theology in new and significant ways.

        by H.N Khan

        Fifteen-year-old Fawad Chaudhry loves two things: basketball and his mother’s potato and ground-beef stuffed parathas. Both are round and both help him forget about things like his dead father, growing up in Regent Park, and his mother being hell-bent on arranging his marriage to his first cousin, Nusrat, back home in Pakistan. Not to mention his estranged best friend Yousuf who’s coping with the shooting death of his older brother. Yeah, it’s complicated. But Fawad has plans; like, asking out Ashley, even though she lives on the other side of the tracks, and saving his friend Arif from being beaten into a pulp for being the school flirt, and like making the school basketball team and being the second brown dude ever to get drafted into the NBA. Now if only he could convince his mother to let him try out for the basketball team. Or that first-cousin marriages increase the risk of genetic disorders in babies and that he really likes Ashley. And if he could only get Omar, the neighborhood bully, to leave him alone. Ghettostan is an #ownvoices coming-of-age story, following Fawad through success and failure, love and loss as he navigates complicated friendships, first love, an overbearing mother, and the death of his father.

        THE FABULIST

        by Uthis Haemamool

        Shortlisted for S.E.A. Write Award 2015 First Thai novel published by PRH SEA     From one of Thailand’s most prominent writers, THE FABULIST is a mesmerizing family saga told in five parts, each by a different narrator and written in a distinctive genre/format.   The story follows four generations of a Thai family, from the matriarch (who was a tree, a naga, a deer, and a rock before she became a woman) to her eldest son, a doctor who embarks upon a quest for justice in the afterlife after suffering a stroke, from the doctor's wife (who lives out the soap opera of her dreams) to a ghostwriter who turns family tragedy into fiction.   Their stories contradict each other and the reader is left with more questions than answers, but all is revealed in the last chapter as a young woman from the next generation returns to her hometown and the truth is finally out.   Uthis Haemamool blends origin myths, recorded history, religious fables and domestic high-drama into THE FABULIST, offering a rare look at Thailand's ordinary people. A challenging but highly satisfying read, just like the best kind of literature.
