Deep in a maze of hallways, Mudito rummages through piles of old newspapers. The mute caretaker of the crumbling former abbey, he is hounded by a coven of ancient witches who are bent on transforming him into the terrifying imbunche: a twisted monster with all of its orifices sewn up, buried alive in its own body. Once, Mudito walked upright and spoke clearly; once he was the personal assistant to one of Chile's most powerful politicians, Jerónimo de Azcoitía.

On September 3, 1970, the New York City Marathon was run for the first time. One hundred twenty-seven runners paid a $1 entry fee. The race was won by a Long Island firefighter who came to the starting line straight from his overnight shift. Only one woman competed. All but one runner was a New York resident. Fifty-four years later, nearly fifty thousand runners finished the same race. Nearly half were women. More than three times as many runners applied, and over two million spectators watched. Today, runners from all over the world run the NYC Marathon, and many others like it.

How did an obscure agitator on the political fringes of early-20th-century Germany rise to become the supreme leader of the "Third Reich"?

In this honest blend of memoir and self-help, Functional pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of high-functioning alcohol use disorder—where success at life masks the constant struggle with the bottle. The book addresses the high performers who juggle careers, family, and a full calendar, but quietly pour that nightly glass (or three) just to cope. Functionals are careful never to let their addiction show in public, and the stress of maintaining this masquerade compounds the need for liquid relief.
