“A Loving, Faithful Animal lured me in with astonishing, poetic prose... But the true thrill of the novel is the carousel of haunting characters Josephine Rowe creates with unbelievable precision. An unflinching look at the ways we fail the people we love, at the cruelty of family, its toxicity, and beauty.” —Stephanie Danler, New York Times bestselling author of Sweetbitter It is New Year’s Eve 1990, in a small town in southeast Australia. Ru’s father, Jack, one of thousands of Australians once conscripted to serve in the Vietnam War, has disappeared. This time Ru thinks he might be gone for good. As rumors spread of a huge black cat stalking the landscape beyond their door, the rest of the family is barely holding on. Ru’s sister, Lani, is throwing herself into sex, drugs, and dangerous company. Their mother, Evelyn, is escaping into memories of a more vibrant youth. And meanwhile there is Les, Jack’s inscrutable brother, who seems to move through their lives like a ghost, earning both trust and suspicion. A Loving, Faithful Animal is an incandescent portrait of one family searching for what may yet be redeemable from the ruins of war. Tender, brutal, and heart-stopping in its beauty, this novel marks the arrival in the United States of Josephine Rowe, the winner of the 2016 Elizabeth Jolley Prize and one of Australia’s most extraordinary young writers.
The Gospel of Thomas, discovered in Nag Hammadi, presents a unique collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus, emphasizing personal revelation over narrative. Scholar Jean-Yves Leloup's translation highlights the teachings of Jesus as a path to self-knowledge and spiritual enlightenment, resonating with gnostic themes of transformation and consciousness. This work invites readers to explore their inner wisdom, suggesting that understanding these teachings can lead to a profound personal awakening, rather than merely conforming to traditional Christian beliefs.
