On April 13, 1986, 10-year-old Tiger Woods watches his idol, Jack Nicklaus, win his record sixth Masters. Just over a decade later, chants of “Ti-ger, Ti-ger!” ring out as the 21-year-old wins his first Green Jacket. He blazes an incredible path, winning 14 major titles (second only to Nicklaus himself) by the time he’s 33, smashing records and raising standards. Then come multiple public scandals and potentially career-ending injuries. The once-assured champion becomes an all-American underdog. “YouTube golfer” is how his two children know their father --- winless since 2013 --- until he wins the 2019 Masters, his 15th major, before their eyes. But the story doesn’t end there. TIGER, TIGER is the first full-scale Woods biography of the decade.

Warning: If you’re married, or planning to be, this book could make you feel very, very defensive. That doesn’t mean you’ll dislike it. So intimate a family portrait is seductive; it almost turns you into a voyeur, peeking inside one couple’s fraught, airless household. Divorce seems inevitable, yet there is suspense, too, because you don’t know exactly how and when the marriage will disintegrate. It’s a slow-motion train wreck. Read More

About the Book
An “eviscerating” (The New York Times) novel about being a wife, a mother and an artist, and how marriage makes liars of us all --- from the author of VERY COLD PEOPLE and 300 ARGUMENTS.
A nuclear family can destroy a woman artist. I’d always known that. But I’d never suspected how easily I’d fall into one anyway.

In a recent interview, Irish writer Kevin Barry revealed that his “ambition is to write the three-hour novel where the reader could sit down and just fall into this world completely.” In THE HEART IN WINTER, a tragicomic Western adventure and love story he says he’s been trying to write for a quarter century, he’s succeeded spectacularly. His intended reader’s only regret will be that this painstakingly crafted story comes to an end far too soon. Read More

Just as he feels his life is heading nowhere fast, Polly Gillespie arrives in town as the new bride of the extremely devout mine captain Long Anthony Harrington.
A thunderbolt love affair takes spark between Tom and Polly, and they strike out west on a stolen horse, moving through the badlands of Montana and Idaho, and briefly an idyll of wild romance perfects itself. But a posse of deranged Cornish gunmen are soon in hot pursuit and closing in fast. With everything to lose and the safety and anonymity of San Francisco still a distant speck on their horizon, the choices they make will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
In this love story for the ages --- lyrical, profane and propulsive --- Kevin Barry has once again demonstrated himself to be a master stylist, an unrivaled humorist, and a true poet of the human heart.
