Fallon R: Family Drama

Family Drama

Orgueil et préjugés

Mistakes Were Made meets Delilah Green Doesn't Care in a charming lesbian romance from New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr Hot new author and her lead actress stun fans in a secret wedding-is it all a publicity stunt? Or something more... On a whim-and hoping to pay off the hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt her grifter father left behind-Victorian history professor Toni Darbyshire sells her lesbian detective novel in a massive deal. Suddenly thrust into the overwhelming new world of publishing, plus a television adaptation, Toni's life gets even more complicated when her one-night stand turned pen pal (and the namesake for her main character) shows up in person for casting of the show. Aspiring actress Addie's had a crush on the professor ever since she watched her lectures on the Victorian era to prep for a stage role. Now, getting cast in Toni's TV series could be her big break. But Addie's in over her head when promo pictures of their fake Victorian wedding go viral. She could lose more than just her heart ... and her historically accurate underthings.

Toni and Addie Go Viral

A moving and heart-rending debut about a grieving woman who moves to a charming small town and finds healing, friendship and love, from multi-million-copy bestselling poet Courtney Peppernell. Bestselling author and poet Wren Paisley is a mess after the untimely death of her fiancée Lucy in a tragic car crash that left a young bystander paralysed. Unable to escape the media frenzy swarming her brownstone, Wren goes on a road trip with no destination in mind, until she hits Everston, Colorado.&nbsp;Everston is charming, the people are kind and, most importantly, no one knows who she is.&nbsp; It feels fortuitous – and a little dangerous – when she learns that the local library holds a weekly grief support group that reads, of all things, poetry. Hesitantly, she joins and slowly begins to build community with the other members, including Henry, a librarian mourning the loss of his brother, Emerson, a young woman recovering from a traumatic accident, and Olivia, a grieving reporter who gives her butterflies. Finally, she can breathe again. But not for long. As she grows closer to new friends and a possible new love, her past comes barreling back into focus. How long can she keep her old life in the rearview? Will she be able to build a new life in Everston, or will it all come crashing down when new truths come to light?

Last Poem

Only edition in print Written immediately after his return from his first trip to America in June 1934, A Voyage at Sea with Don Quixote follows the author's observations about life aboard a Dutch vessel bound for New York, interspersed with remarks on his reading of Cervantes's immortal novel. Using Don Quixote as a springboard, Mann reflects on a number of urgent topics: art, literature, religion, the artist's freedom of conscience and the misuse of technology. The result is an engaging dialogue between past and present, an offbeat, witty travelogue of a voyage undertaken during the Great Depression, a creative tour de force that will delight and amuse in equal measure all those wishing to experience a lesser-known facet of the great German novelist's oeuvre. Alma Classics is committed to making available a wide range of literature from around the globe. Most of the titles are enriched by an extensive critical apparatus, notes and extra reading material, as well as a selection of photographs. The texts are based on the most authoritative edition and edited using a fresh, accessible editorial approach. With an emphasis on production, editorial and typographical values, Alma Classics aspires to revitalize the whole experience of reading classics.

Theory & Practice

Once and Again

From New York Times bestselling author Tom Perrotta, hailed by critics as “the Steinbeck of Suburbia” (Time), “our Balzac of the burbs” (Chicago Sun-Times), and “an American Chekhov” (The New York Times), comes a gripping and darkly nostalgic tale about a tumultuous summer in 1970s suburban New Jersey, from the perspective of a middle-aged writer looking back on a series of events that changed his life—and the story he finally has the courage to tell. Jimmy Perrini lives in 1970s suburban New Jersey, a few miles from Manhattan, but a world apart. At the end of eighth grade, after tragedy strikes, Jimmy finds himself lost in a fog of grief that alienates him from friends and family, drifting instead into troubling friendships with two older teenagers: one a notorious local burnout with a fast car, an endless supply of weed, and a shaky grasp of reality; the other a smart, eccentric girl, whom Jimmy finds himself drawn to as they become entranced by her Ouija board, which may just offer the only salve to their grief. As a fateful public drama unfolds, Jimmy is torn between the occult beyond and the cold realities of the place he has called home. Narrated by a much older Jimmy, a literary-turned-commercial novelist, Ghost Town reveals how the past haunts the present—the way our ghosts are always with us, even when we think we’ve left them behind.

A Novel

Ghost Town

Fremde und Brüder

Snows Romanwerk, dessen Handlung sich vom Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs bis in die Zeit der Studentenunruhen von 1968 erstreckt, zeichnet - in der Rückschau des pensionierten Hochschullehrers Lewis Eliot und dabei autobiografisch getönt - den Lebensweg eines britischen Akademikers aus der Mittelschicht durch die sogenannten "corridors of power" nach: von Eliots Jugend in eher bescheidenen Verhältnissen in einer englischen Provinzstadt über seine Karriere als Anwalt in London, als Beamter, als Dozent in Cambridge. Dabei bieten die Romane eine tiefgründige Untersuchung der britischen Arbeitswelt des 20. Jahrhunderts und deren Institutionen sowie des komplexen Zusammenspiels zwischen dem Privatleben und dem Streben nach Ansehen in Beruf und Öffentlichkeit - entlang all der vielen Fallstricke moralischer Entscheidungen und vor dem Hintergrund sozialer Spannungsgeflechte und weltpolitischer Veränderungen. Dabei erzählt Snow clever und nicht selten amüsant. Seine liebevoll ausgearbeiteten Charaktere binden die einzelnen Romane, die auch separat gut lesbar sind, in geradezu Proust'scher Manier aneinander.
Im dritten Teil der Romanreihe, der im Original 1958 erschien, gibt der Erzähler Einblicke in die Welt einer großen britischen Bankiersdynastie zwischen 1927 und 1936. Durch seine Freundschaft zu Charles March, dem Sohn und Erben des jüdischen Bankhauses March, mit dessen Familie verbunden, stehen Lewis Eliot die Auswirkungen der sozialen und politischen Veränderungen auf die reiche und traditionsbewusste Familie direkt vor Augen. Vor dem Hintergrund des Aufstiegs von Kommunismus und Faschismus sowie der Vorbereitung Großbritanniens auf einen neuen Krieg stehen allerhand private Krisen: Charles bricht seine vielversprechende juristische Karriere zugunsten der ihm nützlicher erscheinenden Medizin ab, seine Schwester Catherine verliebt sich in einen Nichtjuden, sein Onkel wird in zwielichtige politische Geschäfte verwickelt, und die Familie fällt langsam auseinander ...

Cleaner

The 30th anniversary edition of the virtuosic, wickedly comic modern classic about the pursuit of happiness in America, with a new foreword by Michelle Zauner, author of the New York Times bestselling sensation Crying in H Mart.&nbsp; “To my mind, there have been two great American novels in the past fifty years. Catch-22 is one; this is the other.” —Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly Set in an addicts’ halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human—and one of those rare books that renews the idea of what a novel can do. “Uproarious ... Infinite Jest shows off Wallace as one of the big talents of his generation, a writer … who can seemingly do anything.” ―Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “The next step in fiction ... Edgy, accurate, and darkly witty ... Think Beckett, think Pynchon, think Gaddis. Think.” —Sven Birkerts, The Atlantic One of Time magazine’s “100 Best Novels” (1923—2005)

Infinite Jest (30th Anniversary Edition)

In this semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker recounts her two years working in a Berlin brothel, seeking both income and literary inspiration. With frankness and emotional depth, she explores not only her sexual encounters but the bonds, routines, and quiet strength shared among the women who work there. Blending memoir and fiction, Becker challenges stereotypes about sex work and offers a bold, compassionate look at desire, agency, and female solidarity. In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand – and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it. With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliché or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside. Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identities—as worker, writer, woman, and witness.
