Chen K: Homeseeking / B

Homeseeking

An epic tale of one couple spanning decades as world events pull them together and apart

Black Arms to Hold You Up

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;

A Virago Modern Classic

The Last of the Wine

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

Bailey's Cafe

Black Literary and Cultural Expressions

An interrogation of the poetry of Mazisi Kunene that places his work in the context of African literature and the richness of the oral tradition, as well as his political activism that connects him to the wider African diaspora.
 
As Africa's foremost epic poet, Mazisi Kunene occupies a unique place in history. In this study, Dike Okoro illuminates the penetrating insights found in Kunene's poetry and the reasons why his art has been considered as masterpieces grounded in geography, history, and culture. He situates Kunene as a theorist who embraces African tradition - including his adoption of izibongo, Zulu praise poetry - and the role of the artist as a chronicler of his people's history, committed to art as a catalyst for change, not justd South Africa but for Africans around the globe.
 
 These essays and interviews address the post-apartheid reality of South Africa and draw from a repository of rich images found in Kunene's poetry to provide examples of depictions of colonial exploitation in Africa; the rootedness of traditional African culture; women and children who bring hope; and art as a way to effect change. They demonstrate Kunene's profound influence on and in world literature, interrogating his work for its style and connections with poetry by Native Americans and other Indigenous literary traditions. 
 
The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene argues that Mazisi Kunene's poetry centers non-human beings (animals and plants), the pristine environment of the olden days, and the cosmology of his Zulu ethnicity, asserting the relevance of his art - in this 21st-century moment of climate crisis - as both a form of activism and a political tool to the African creative writer.

African Literature, Aesthetic, and Transatlantic Formulation

The Epic Poetry of Mazisi Kunene

The book explores contemporary Chinese society and its future direction based on direct and close scrutiny. Due to its distance and independent cultural development from the West, China has been the subject of an imagined world for many Westerners. However, the visions of Cathay could not justify the shape of Chinese civilisation. Only by contacting the nation and its people directly one can better understand its cultural essence and goals of development.

A timeless historical novel about poetry, music and power by the classic queen of Ancient Greek retellings

The Praise Singer

Penguin Modern Classics

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to fully come into themselves.
