In this "deliciously funny, sharp, and sincere" debut (Helen Oyeyemi), a young graduate student writing about -- and desperately searching for -- inspiration stumbles upon it in the unlikeliest of places.Anna Brisker is a twenty-nine-year-old graduate student in English at Collegiate University who can't seem to finish her dissertation. Her project: an intellectual history of inspiration. And yet, for the first time, Anna has found herself utterly uninspired. Rather than work on her thesis, she spends her days eating Pop-Tarts and walking the gritty streets of New Harbor, Connecticut.
As Anna's adviser is quick to remind her, time is running out. She needs the perfect case study to anchor her thesis, and she needs it now. Amid this mounting pressure, Anna strikes up a tenuous friendship with the niece of famous author Frederick Langley. Freddy wrote three successful books as a young man, then published exactly nothing for the rest of his wayward, hermetic life. Critics believe Freddy suffered from an acute case of writer's block, but his niece tells Anna that there's more to the story: When he died, he was at work on something new.
With exclusive access to the notebooks of an author who was inspired, uninspired, and potentially reinspired, Anna knows she's found the perfect case study. But as fascination with Freddy blooms into obsession, Anna is drawn irrevocably into the criminal machinations of his sole living heir.
A modern twist on the Parable of the Talents, Lapidos's debut is a many-layered labyrinth of possible truths that reveal at each turn the danger of interpreting another person's intentions -- literary or otherwise.

This soap smells really good. My son uses this soap for his eczema.
I like the fact, that the soap bars are big. I was able, to cut it in half. But, it does come with 2 bars. And it smells really nice.

Great soap
I get dry skin in the winter and I had tried all kinds of lotions with no luck then used baby oil gel for a couple days unfortunately I had a bad reaction and developed a BAD rash on my legs , arms and stomach. I ordered this this to try out of desperation. With in 2 days my skin was healing. The itching stopped! My skin was finally calming down. After a week the rash was practically gone and my skin feels better. After 2 weeks my skin is so soft and smooth again. Only thing is like others have said the square shape doesn't fit well in smaller hands , so I did what others did and cut it in half. I don't keep it in the shower as it does melt fast.
The scent is a fresh clean scent that isn't too strong. It lathers very well both on your skin and in a shower puff.
Highly recommend!

Oatmeal soap
I’m toxic and have eczema so bad the soap burns my skin but I use it anyway, later after a shower it calms down. It has a fragrant which, with these skin- gut problems isn’t good…but the way of progress is neither swift nor easy! 🌹
