Winner of the Northern California Book Award, the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction, and the Arab American Book Award for Fiction "A sprawling fever dream of a novel, by turns beautiful and horrifying, and impossible to forget . . . When Alameddine aims for the heart, he doesn't miss, and he hits hard . . . The Angel of History isn't just a brilliant novel, it's a heartfelt cry in the dark, a reminder that we can never forget our past, the friends and family we've loved and lost. It's a raw love letter from those who survived a plague to those who didn't." --NPR.org From National Book Award finalist Rabih Alameddine, The Angel of History follows Yemeni-born Jacob as he revisits his life over the course of one night in the waiting room of a psych clinic. We see his maternal upbringing in an Egyptian whorehouse to his adolescence under the aegis of his wealthy father and his life as a gay Arab man in San Francisco at the height of AIDS. All the while, Jacob is taunted mercilessly by the presence of alluring Satan, who urges remember his painful past and dour Death who urges him to forget and give up. Set in Cairo and Beirut; Sana'a, Stockholm, and San Francisco; this is a profound and winning story of the war between memory and oblivion and a spectacular portrait of a man and an era of deep political and social upheaval. "A remarkable novel, a commentary of love and death, creativity and spirituality, memory and survival . . . brilliant . . . it] hits an emotional nerve." --Los Angeles Review of Books "Laced with literary references . . . a kaleidoscopic storytelling style, and philosophical humor." --New YorkerBinding Type: Paperback

Vibrant and Comfortable
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi, Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi
When you have kids, you KNOW how hard it is to get them out of the house! We got these for our daughter and she grew out of them so quickly, (As kids do) but she loved them SO much she just wanted the same shoes in the next size so that’s exactly what we did.
She can slip her feet in them SO easily. They have good arch support and they are comfortable enough for her to walk all day at the parks and they are easy to chuck in the washer and dryer to clean them. Unless they change the quality or durability, we will continue to purchase this brand for both ourselves and our kids!

Daughter’s Fav.
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Lavender/Multi
These are my preteen daughter’s favorite shoes! She likes that they slip on quickly for those times we are running late. They were comfortable throughout the day during our trip to an amusement park and we walked a lot! They are holding up well and look cute- even after washing!
