Kwan S: Awake in the Floating City / B

Awake in the Floating City

An epic&nbsp;comedy about the quest for transcendence in an anything-but-transcendent America, set amid the gorgeous landscapes of the American west: A “spiritual journey” full of “fun, joy, love, courage and compassion” (Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Powers) from the author of the perennial cult bestsellers&nbsp;The River Why&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Brothers K. A random bolt from a DC-8 falls from the sky, killing a child and throwing the faith of a young Jesuit into crisis.&nbsp; A boy’s mother dies on his fifth birthday, sparking a lifetime of repressed anger that he unleashes once a year in reckless duels with the Fate, God, or Power who let the coincidence happen. A young woman on a run in Seattle experiences a shooting star moment that pierces her with a love that will eventually help heal the Jesuit, the angry young man, and innumerable others. The journeys of this unintentional menagerie carry them to the healing lands of Montana and a newly founded community—where nothing tastes better than Maker's Mark mixed with glacier ice, and nothing seems less likely than the soul-filling delight a troupe of spiritual refugees, urban sophisticates, road-weary musicians, and local cowboys begin to find in each other's company.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With&nbsp;Sun House, David James Duncan continues exploring the American search for meaning and love that he began in his acclaimed novels&nbsp;The River Why&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Brothers K.

An epic comedy, sixteen years in the making, about love, spirit, and the quest for transcendence in an anything-but-transcendent America, from the author of the perennial cult bestsellers The River Why and The Brothers K.

Sun House

Untitled Yarwood 2 of 2

The Last Flight meets Killing Eve in this "timely and emotional" thriller that follows two mothers racing to uncover the truth behind a horrific attack (Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author)—even after it becomes clear that the reality will destroy one of their families. Julia Bennett has worked hard to create a stable life for her daughter, Cora, in Southern California. So when Cora leaves for college, the worst thing Julia expects on move-in day is an argument with her ex-husband and his new wife. But a sudden attack leaves the campus stunned—and only Julia’s quick actions save Cora’s life. Shaken in the aftermath, and haunted by a dark secret, Julia starts to wonder: What if the attack wasn’t as random as everyone believes? Newly pregnant Ren Petrovic has an unusual career—she’s a trained assassin, operating under a strict moral code. Ren wasn’t on campus that day, but she knows who was: her husband, Nolan. What she doesn’t know is why Nolan has broken their rules by not telling her about the job in advance. The more Ren looks into the attack, the more she begins to question: Who really hired Nolan? And why did one woman in the crowd respond so differently from all the rest? Julia and Ren each want answers, but their searches quickly pit them against each other. One woman is a hired killer, but the other is a determined survivor. And both mothers will defend their families to the bitter end. "Slick, smart, layered, and full of surprises."&nbsp;—Lisa Unger "An exciting thriller perfect for fans of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Pieces of Her."&nbsp;—Buzzfeed "Wholly addictive."&nbsp;—May Cobb "Chavez is at the top of her game."&nbsp;—Jeneva Rose "Fresh and surprising."&nbsp;—BookPage (starred review) Named a "Summer Must-Read" by CrimeReads&nbsp;•&nbsp;Book Riot&nbsp;• BuzzFeed • Fresh Fiction&nbsp;•&nbsp;BookBub&nbsp;• Wealth of Geeks&nbsp;•&nbsp;Daily Times&nbsp;•&nbsp;Ground News&nbsp;•&nbsp;SheReads • Mercury News&nbsp;•&nbsp;East Bay Times&nbsp;•&nbsp;Boston Herald&nbsp;•&nbsp;The Orange County Register&nbsp;

The Girl Who Came Home

<div>“This is Burroughs’s most accessible, tightly knit work of fiction. . . . Laid out as a stripped-down movie script it’s almost as if this is the form that Burroughs has always needed.”—Kirkus Reviews Before he was gunned down in the Palace Chop House in Newark, New Jersey, in October 1935, Arthur Flegenheimer, alias Dutch Schultz, was generally considered New York’s number one racketeer. Taken to a hospital following the gangland shooting, Schultz survived for two days. His room was guarded around the clock, and a police stenographer was stationed at his bedside in the hope of learning who is assailant or assailants were. Instead, what was recorded were Dutch’s fevered fantasies, stemming from his childhood and youth, as well as his recent past. Taking these “last words” as a starting point, Burroughs has created in this work a fantasia on Dutch Schultz, a narrative that takes the form of a film script and explores themes including crime, addiction, and power. </div>

Virago Modern Classics

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY IRENOSEN OKOJIE 'Gloria Naylor is gifted with timeless wisdom, bottomless empathy, and limitless language. Her novels will shine a light for readers and writers for generations to come' Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction In post-World War II Brooklyn, on a quiet backstreet, there's a little place that draws people from all over-not for the food, and definitely not for the coffee. An in-between place that's only there when you need it, Bailey's Cafe is a crossroads where patrons stay for a while before making a choice: Move on or check out? Patrons include Sadie, the ladylike alcoholic with a mania for cleanliness; Sweet Esther, who caters to unspeakable appetites in a nearby 'boarding house', taking payment only in white roses; and Mariam, the Ethiopian child who may be the bearer of a miracle. Naylor's breath-taking novel is an enthralling fusion of lives whose courage, mystery and humour suggest nothing less than a blues tapestry of America. 'Gloria Naylor was one of the greatest novelists who ever lived. Every single one of her works was masterful, crafted with the kind of rare artistic brilliance that places her in extremely limited company . . . She holds a hallowed place in the canon, and also in hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits' Robert Jones, Jr., author of The New York Times bestselling novel, The Prophets

Penguin Modern Classics

Following the events of one single day in Dublin, the 16th of June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses is a monument to the human condition. It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'. This new edition is based on the original 1922 edition, now the preferred text of Joyce's masterwork, and includes an introduction by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.
