From the author of the wildly controversial books Liar and Paul's Case comes one of the most anticipated -- and perhaps, in some quarters, feared -- books of the year. This is author Lynn Crosbie at her most honest, most cutting, most hilarious, and most heartbreaking. The stories told here are at once a cache, a repository, of a seven-year period in the author's life; and, too, a gymnasium, a place where she can flex her prodigious wit and her dazzling stash of literary tricks Deft with matters both low- and highbrow (here are stories about 80s big-hair bands and the lasting, theological value of the Rocky series; here, too are stories contemplating critical theory and fine art), Life Is About Losing Everything speaks with manic yet grave authority about risking and losing everything, and then sorting through the remains to discover what is beautiful, what is trash, and what, ultimately, belongs.

In her first poetry collection in more than a decade, celebrated novelist and poet Lynn Crosbie creates a sustained and confessional record of her father's illness. The Corpses of the Future is a sustained, confessional new collection of poems by Lynn Crosbie. It tells the story of her father's battle with frontotemporal dementia and blindness following a stroke. The poems chronologically recount the poet's conversations and time with her father and capture his still-astonishing means of communicating. The book's title is his sardonic remark. Crosbie considers dementia to be a symbolic language, and as such similar to poetry. The author's attempts to understand her father's distress, pain, fear, and brave love are assisted by her understanding of the "negative capability" required of readers of poetry. This is a harrowing book, with moments of joy and even levity. It is a collection of poetry about love, and love's persistence, even under the most unspeakable circumstances.

Originální dílo „fan fiction“ Kdes byla včera v noci, napsané emocionálně evokativním jazykem Lynn Crosbieové, je imaginativním, dojemným a černohumorným románem o neústupnosti lásky. Evelyn Grayová je osamělá šestnáctiletá holka z maloměsta nedaleko Seattlu. Spolužáci ji šikanují, a tak většinu času tráví ve svém pokoji a povídá si s plakátem Kurta Cobaina. Její matka je alkoholová troska seattleské grungeové scény, jejíž vzpomínky, knihy a hudba podnítí Evelynin zájem o Kurta Cobaina – lásku tak hrozně silnou, že mrtvého zpěváka přivolá zpět mezi živé. Ti dva rychle propadnou jeden druhému a drogám. Proslaví se jako hudebníci, které provázejí skandály, navzdory vzájemné oddanosti je sžírá vášeň, žárlivost a násilí.
