Denizens of the shadows who live outside the law—from the desolate meth labs of the Ozark Mountains to the dog-fighting rings of Detroit to the lavish Los Angeles hotels where the famous run wild—the characters in Love and Other Wounds all thirst for something seemingly just beyond their reach. Some are on the run, pursued by the law or propelled relentlessly forward by a dangerous past that is disturbingly close. Others are searching for a semblance of peace and stability, and even love, in a fractured world defined by seething violence and ruthless desperation. All are bruised, pushed to their breaking points and beyond, driven to extremes they never imagined.Crackling with cinematic energy, raw and disquieting yet filled with pathos and a darkly vital humor, Love and Other Wounds is an unforgettable debut from an electrifying new voice, and a welcome addition to the pulp poetry canon.

Salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep your heart and your brain healthy, without being high in total fats. It''s rich in B-complex vitaminizes, a few minerals, and can add a substantial amount of vitamin D to your daily intake.Salmon also contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid that''s related to vitamin A and believed to have antioxidant and immune-stimulating properties.1Sometimes, preparing foods in certain ways can add calories from extra fats or sugars. Here''s a look at six healthy ways to serve salmon, giving you plenty of options, no matter what your preferred cooking method:Grilled SalmonGrill cooking is considered healthful because it doesn''t require the addition of any extra fat, other than a little coating of oil on the grill itself. Salmon is perfect for the grill, especially when you compare it to white fish, because the flesh stays firm as it cooks and doesn''t fall apart.Poached SalmonPoaching involves cooking the salmon in a liquid that''s simmering gently in a skillet on your stovetop. One option is to simmer it in water that is spiced with your favorite herbs and seasonings, or you can poach your fish in wine or broth.Baked SalmonSalmon filets and steaks can be baked in your oven, and you can bake them in a pan or in parchment paper. Using parchment paper helps keep the fish from sticking while also simplifying clean-up.Smoked SalmonSmoked salmon doesn''t have as much of the omega-3 fatty acids as fresh or canned salmon, but it can still be a healthy food. It is prepared by first curing the fish in a brine solution, then letting it dry a bit. Next, it spends time in smoke that is created by burning wood chips in a smoker.Canned SalmonOne benefit of canned salmon is that, unlike fresh salmon, it won''t go bad in a week if you forget tocook it. There''s a lot to be said for the convenience of canned fish.Raw SalmonFresh, raw salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and has a wonderful flavor. Raw salmon is often served as sushi or sashimi, but you might also find salmon carpaccio, crudo, or ceviche.
