      An unforgettable fable about a father's journey and a timeless guide to life's many questions—from Ethan Hawke, four-time Academy Award nominee, twice for writing and twice for acting. A knight, fearing he may not return from battle, writes a letter to his children in an attempt to leave a record of all he knows. In a series of ruminations on solitude, humility, forgiveness, honesty, courage, grace, pride, and patience, he draws on the ancient teachings of Eastern and Western philosophy, and on the great spiritual and political writings of our time. His intent: to give his children a compass for a journey they will have to make alone, a short guide to what gives life meaning and beauty.

      A project, 10 years in the making, that captures the Native American experience, by Oscar nominated actor and writer Ethan Hawke, and New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Greg Ruth.

      Indeh
    • Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half-hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is theater: in particular, the challenge of performing the role of Hotspur in a production of Henry IV under the leadership of a brilliant director, helmed by one of the most electrifying--and narcissistic--Falstaffs of all time. A novel about shame and beauty and faith, and the moral power of art

      The Hottest State
    • Jimmy is AWOL from the army, but - with characteristic fierceness and terror - he's about to embark on the biggest commitment of his life. Christy is pregnant with Jimmy's child, and she's determined to head home, with or without Jimmy, to face up to her past and prepare for the future. Somehow, barreling across America from Albany to New Orleans to Ohio and Texas in a souped-up Chevy Nova, Christy and Jimmy are transformed from passionate but conflicted lovers into a young family on a magnificent journey.

      Ash Wednesday
    • Porywająca powieść graficzna autorstwa Nominowanego do oscara aktora i pisarza Ethana Hawkea oraz scenarzysty i rysownika z listy bestsellerów New York Timesa, Grega Rutha. W spokojnym i niepozornym miasteczku Huntsville w Teksasie Jack Skowronek Johnson i jego nastoletni syn Cooper wyruszają w podróż o epickim rozmachu, która w ciągu jednego dnia zamienia się w walkę chłopca o to, by przetrwać skutki fatalnych błędów ojca. Gdy Cooper i jego ojciec rozpaczliwie uciekają przed lawiną piętrzącej się przemocy, muszą przewartościować łączącą ich relację burzliwą i dysfunkcyjną, lecz wciąż czułą ponieważ narastające między nimi napięcie oraz pielęgnowane latami urazy grożą nieuniknionym wybuchem. Skowronek, zainspirowany dzieciństwem autorów spędzonym w Teksasie i ich relacjami z własnymi synami, jest wartką, utrzymaną w stylistyce noir opowieścią o dorastaniu i przemianie młodzieńca w mężczyznę. Ten sugestywny emocjonalnie i oszałamiający wizualnie album to przygoda ojca i syna na miarę naszych czasów. Cudownie poruszająca historia i absolutne arcydzieło, które nie pozostawia czytelnika obojętnym. Skowronek to opowieść ponadczasowa. Wykracza poza ramy gatunkowe i wynosi formę powieści graficznej na nowe wyżyny. To jeden z tych artystycznych darów, które będą coś z siebie dawać i wpływać na twórców przez kolejne dekady. Bill Sienkiewicz, scenarzysta i rysownik Stray Toasters
