    Fifty years from now, it may well turn out that the work of very few American writers has as much to say about what it means to be alive in our time as that of Lorrie Moore (Harper's). A literary event - a new collection of stories by one of America's most beloved and admired short story writers, her first collection in fifteen years. In these eight masterful stories, Lorrie Moore, in a perfect blend of craft and bewitched spirit, explores the passage of time and summons up its inevitable sorrows and hilarious pitfalls to reveal her own exquisite, singular wisdom. In "Debarking," a newly divorced man tries to keep his wits about him as the United States prepares to invade Iraq, and against this ominous moment, we see - in all its irresistible hilarity and darkness - the perils of divorce and what can follow in its wake.In "Foes," a political argument goes grotesquely awry as the events of 9/11 unexpectedly manifest at a fund-raising dinner in Georgetown.In "The Juniper Tree," a teacher, visited by the ghost of her recently deceased friend, is forced to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in a kind of nightmare reunion.In "Wings," we watch the unraveling of two once-hopeful musicians who neither held fast to their dreams nor struck out along other paths as Moore deftly depicts the intricacies of dead ends and the workings of regret. Gimlet-eyed social observation, the public and private absurdities of American life, dramatic irony, and enduring half-cracked love wend their way through each of these narratives in a heartrending mash-up of the tragic and the laugh-out-loud - the hallmark of Lorrie Moore - land. ungekürzt.

He's never imagined a different future for himself - until he meets an idealistic young woman named Lorrie and impulsively flees town with her. In Western City North, on the edge of the Homeland, Lance and Lorrie move into the same building as Benny and Joe, two friends up for induction. Along with Alan, a young runaway, they frantically evade Registry agents intent on tracking down draft dodgers. With induction day looming and paranoia rampant, the only way for any of them to stay free is to uncover the truth about their uncertain world - and the forces seeking to control it. Jonah C.

In misty, coastal Washington State, Isaac lives alone with his dog, grieving the recent death of his teenage son Daniel. Next door, Lorrie, a working single mother, struggles with a heinous act committed by her own teenage son. Separated by only a silvery stretch of trees, the two parents are emotionally stranded, isolated by their great losses-until an unfamiliar sixteen year-old girl shows up, bridges the gap, and changes everything. Evangeline's arrival at first feels like a blessing, but she is also clearly hiding something. When Isaac, who has retreated into his Quaker faith, isn't equipped to handle her alone, Lorrie forges her own relationship with the girl. Soon all three characters are forced to examine what really happened in their overlapping pasts, and what it all possibly means for a shared future. With a propulsive mystery at its core, What Comes After offers an unforgettable story of loss and anger, but also of kindness and hope, courage and forgiveness. It is a deeply moving account of strangers and friends not only helping each other forward after tragedy, but inspiring a new kind of family.

    Wegweiser Emotionsfokussierte Paartherapie
    Bindung macht Sinn! Mit der Bindungsbrille der Emotionsfokussierten Paartherapie (EFT) wird aus chaotischen Beziehungsdynamiken von Paaren der (aktuell) bestmögliche Versuch, die bedrohte Bindung zu erhalten. Diese Sichtweise öffnet den Raum zum Erkennen der ganz spezifischen Dynamik eines jeden Paares. Sie gibt auch das Ziel vor, nämlich die Wiederherstellung einer sicheren Basis zwischen den Partnern. Wie das gelingen kann, zeigt Lorrie L. Brubacher. Schritt für Schritt nimmt sie ihre Leserschaft - interessierte Paartherapeuten, EFT-Therapeutinnen in Ausbildung und in langjähriger Praxis - an die Hand und begleitet sie durch den therapeutischen Prozess mit all seinen Tücken und Fallstricken; einen Prozess, der in der EFT zugleich klar strukturiert und erlebensbasiert ist. Wie dieser Spagat glückt und Schlüsselmomente der Veränderung ihre Wirkung entfalten können, wird anschaulich und praxisnah verdeutlicht. Als Therapiemanual und Nachschlagewerk gibt das Buch einen unverzichtbaren Gesamtüberblick über die Emotionsfokussierte Paartherapie. Hinweise auf die Forschung zur Wirksamkeit der EFT runden den Band ab.
