Ruins, Child

One of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. International bestseller. A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. One of The New York Times' 100 Best Books of the Twenty-First Century and a classic of short fiction, Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women was a global sensation upon its publication in 2015, eleven years after its author's death. Largely unheralded throughout her peripatetic life, Berlin was a fiction writer of staggering, singular genius. With the grit of Raymond Carver, the humor of Grace Paley, and a blend of wit and melancholy all her own, Berlin crafted miracles from the everyday, uncovering moments of grace in the Laundromats and halfway houses of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Bay Area upper class, among switchboard operators and struggling mothers, hitchhikers and bad Christians. Written over the course of thirty years, the forty-three stories in A Manual for Cleaning Women-collected here in a 10th anniversary edition-are short fiction at its most unforgettable and original, told with unmistakable style by a master of the form.

You Only Call When You're in Trouble

WARNING: SEMANTIC ERROR ALERT! Computer science major Sangwoo Choo lives by the following tenets: reason, routine, and rules. So it makes perfect sense for him to delete his group members' names from the project they contributed nothing to. If that inadvertently destroys their immediate future plans...Well, it's not Sangwoo's problem, right?Award-winning visual arts major Jaeyoung Jang is aghast to find his dreams of grad school in the United States put on the back burner-all because some snitch in his project group caused him to fail a required class. Now with plenty of time on his hands, he grudgingly agrees to fill in for a friend as the designer of a new mobile game-only to come face-to-face with Sangwoo Choo, the very person who screwed him over in the first place!Now Sangwoo is unable to get a moment's peace as Jaeyoung remains glued to his side, eager for some payback. What's even weirder is that despite their rocky start and mutual disdain, Sangwoo and Jaeyoung find themselves inexplicably drawn toward each other like moths to a very annoying flame! Will Sangwoo find a way to debug this semantic error before it upends his whole life?

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Book Review MOST ANTICIPATED Book "Between the Taylor Swift effect, BTS fever, and the rise (and rise) of Heated Rivalry, fandoms are having a moment-making it the PERFECT TIME to dig into Zhang's alternately HEARTRENDING AND THRILLING new novel." -Vogue "Equally DARK AND DAZZLING, like a spotlight flickering on a dim stage. This is a book I'll be recommending to all my coolest friends." -LitHub From National Book Foundation 5 UNDER 35 HONOREE Jenny Tinghui Zhang, a novel about a pop idol and his superfan, whose stories shockingly collide Freshman Minnie is adrift at college in Austin, Texas, when she discovers a boy band called HOURglass and the online forums that worship them. She especially loves Halo, whose sharp edges feel somehow familiar. After a brief romance goes painfully awry, Minnie pours everything into her new fandom, clinging to each livestream and bonding with other fans online. But when a scandal threatens to expose Halo to harm, Minnie decides that she is the only one who can save him. Except Halo's secret is darker than anything the tabloids could imagine. Before he was a superstar heartthrob, he was Eason: a high school dropout haunted by a tragic accident. When he is recruited for HOURglass, it feels like a chance to become someone else. And when he is onstage in front of his fans, he can almost forget the horrors of his past--until one of those very fans threatens to destroy everything. Dazzling, entrancing, and deeply heartfelt, Superfan is about fandom in all its magic and its terror, and the extreme lengths to which we go to rid ourselves of loneliness.

A haunting novel on identity, exile and the fragile desire to disappear by Maria Stepanova, one of Russia's greatest living writers.

The Disappearing Act

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.
