New Releases by Audrey Niffenegger

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was thirty-six, and were married when Clare was twenty-two and Henry thirty. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself pulled suddenly into his past or future. His disappearances are spontaneous and his experiences are alternately harrowing and amusing.

Artists' books have emerged over the last 25 years as the quintessential contemporary art form, addressing subjects as diverse as poetry and politics, incorporating a full spectrum of artistic media and bookmaking methods, and taking every conceivable form. Female painters, sculptors, calligraphers, and printmakers, as well a growing community of hobbyists, have played a primary role in developing this new mode of artistic expression. The Book as Art presents more than 100 of the most engaging women's artist books created by major fine artists such as Meret Oppenheim, May Stevens, Kara Walker, and Renee Stout and distinguished book artists such as Susan King, Ruth Laxson, Claire Van Vliet, and Julie Chen. Culled from over 800 unique or limited-edition volumes held by the National Museum of Women in the Arts, these books explore the form as a container for ideas. Descriptions of the works are accompanied by colorful illustrations and reflections by their makers, along with essays by leading scholars and a lively introduction by the most famous book artist in our culture, best-selling author Audrey Niffenegger. The exquisitely crafted objects in the The Book as Art are sure to provoke unexpected and surprising conclusions about what constitutes a book. The Book as Art accompanies the exhibition of the same name at the Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., beginning in October 2006.

The author of the "New York Times" bestseller "The Time Traveler's Wife" returns with the much-anticipated follow-up to "The Three Incestuous Sisters." This novel follows the dreamlike journey of an alchemist's daughter who turns herself into a moth and flees to the garden of a charming butterfly collector named Napoleon Bonaparte.

Audrey Niffenegger's romantic novel The Time Traveler's Wife tells the tender story of Henry and Clare, a married couple, whose relationship is as unique as is every love affair. Niffenegger takes the concept of time out of the linear sequence that we are familiar with, and turns it inside out and upside down. Bookclub-in-a-Box explores both inside and outside the boundaries of Niffenegger's concepts of love, relationships and time. The exploration looks at how the author's narrative structure and her symbols highlight the circular nature of time and interconnected lives. The discussion guide will also look at why this novel is often categorized as science fiction. Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style and interesting background information on the novel and the author.

"Je l'aime. II représente tout pour moi. Je l'ai attendu toute ma vie et à présent il est là. (J'ai du mal à m'expliquer.) Avec lui je peux contempler mon existence dans sa totalité, comme une carte, passé et futur réunis, comme un ange... [..] Tout est déjà arrivé. Tout en même temps. " Nous avons tous déjà eu cette impression d'avoir rencontré une personne quelque part avant, ou de l'avoir connue dans une autre vie... Et si c'était dans un autre temps ? Quand Henry, bibliothécaire, voit arriver Claire, une artiste séduisante, il ne peut croire à l'incroyable : ils se connaissent depuis des décennies, même s'il ne s'en souvient pas. Car Henry est atteint d'une maladie qui le propulse dans le temps. II a rencontré Claire alors qu'elle était enfant et va sans cesse partir et revenir à des époques de leurs vies respectives... L'histoire folle et romanesque d'un amour absolu et éternel. Audrey Niffenegger
