Exploring childhood ambition, youthful desire, midlife reinvention and the unsparing clarity of old age, Ozeki brings us eleven richly imagined stories of characters standing at life's thresholds. A college student falls for her professor and learns to transmute longing into language. A disquieted husband watches as the ghost of his wife's ambition roams the woods outside their home.

A long-deceased Beat poet hijacks the mind of a young publishing assistant and rails against the state of modern literature. A curious grandmother creates a fake online dating profile to spy on her granddaughter's romantic life - and sets in motion a deception she can't control. Spanning eras and geographies, The Typing Lady is an electrifying meditation on the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we abandon and the stories we become.

Threaded with the tactile ephemera of writing - typewriters, letters, manuscripts and disappearing ink - the book reveals how we record ourselves in language, and how language, over time, records us in return.

Awesome bag!
Color: Silver
I LOVE this bag! I use it daily. My only wish is that it was larger, although it does hold much more than you might think. I tried to post a pic of the inside and all it holds, but the app won't let me right now. I'll check back later. Until then, the list includes... Credit, check, and insurance cards (all 8 of them), 2 pens, A pen light, Fingertip spray bottle for alcohol, Mirror, ID, Several business cards, Folding phone stand shaped like a credit card, Charging cord, Charging battery (a hefty one with qi charging), Prescription sunglasses inside a box for protection, A magnifying card with light. My phone is too big to fit in the zipper compartment (Note 10+), so I usually use a lanyard. I COULD fit it into the main compartment, but it's tight. I attach my keys to the loop with the wrist strap. Otherwise they would scratch my phone if I choose to put it inside. An expanding bottom along with just an inch added to both the height and length would make all the difference for those needed items. If the owners/designers read this, I'd request a divider going lengthwise as well to keep my phone separate and protected. It doesn't have one, or a pocket for a large phone. I do believe, however, that the latest folding Razr or Samsung's Z-Flip would easily fit into the pockets provided with no problem.

Durable!
This is amazing!! I’ve had it for a year now and nothing has ripped or worn at all. (I use it pretty roughly) It’s very spacious, and great inside and outside material. And yeah it actually comes with a cute bear XD
