He wants to be haunted--he insists on it. Randon Billings Noble does too. Instead of exorcising the ghosts of her past, she hopes for their cold hands to knock at the window and to linger. \u003ci\u003eBe with Me Always\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of essays that explore hauntedness by considering how the ghosts of our pasts cling to us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a way, all good essays are about the things that haunt us until we have somehow embraced or understood them. Here, Noble considers the ways she has been haunted--by a near-death experience, the gaze of a nude model, thoughts of widowhood, Anne Boleyn's violent death, a book she can't stop reading, a past lover who shadows her thoughts--in essays both pleasant and bitter, traditional and lyrical, and persistently evocative and unforgettable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496205049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Randon Billings Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36654208680092,"sku":"9781496205049","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c3f6affd-06a5-4567-ba74-ee2fd7ee7432.jpg?v=1603882905","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/be-with-me-always-essays-9781496205049","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
