Paul McLeod, dueño escocés del periódico, desea las islas griegas para escapar su soledad desde la muerte de su esposa. De sus tres hijos, Fenno es el más callado, teniendo salió de Escocia para perseguir una vida en New York, en donde su homosexualidad mezclaría en el contexto de la ciudad diversificada. La segunda parte de la historia trae Fenno y sus hermanos gemelos y sus esposas junta para el entierro de su padre, que ha muerto en Grecia. Muchas corrientes ocultas y emociones funcionan con esta novela que cautiva, que esencialmente se ocupa de complejidad humana y cómo la gente forma uno otro, deliberadamente y a veces por casualidad. El Brimming con un molde maravilloso de caracteres intrincados fijó en un surtido de contextos de centelleo.

Девять историй, девять жизней, девять кругов ада. Адам Хэзлетт написал книгу о безумии, и в США она мгновенно стала сенсацией: 23% взрослых страдают от психических расстройств. Герои Хэзлетта - обычные люди, и каждый болен по-своему. Депрессия, мания, паранойя - суровый и мрачный пейзаж. Постарайтесь не заблудиться и почувствовать эту боль.
Добро пожаловать на изнанку человеческой души. Вы здесь не чужие.
Проза Адама Хэзлетта - впервые на русском языке.

The Secret Service agents guarding the vice president steel their nerves to a multitude of dangers every day. When he runs for the top spot on the Democratic ticket, however, their personal lives may just be the biggest obstacle to keeping him safe.
Wry, muscular Vi Asplund is the daughter of an atheist insurance adjuster who took the young Vi and her brother, Jens, to the grisly accident scenes he covered. This tolerance for the macabre follows Vi into her career as an agent, and into Jens's development as the software designer for a gorey video game. Chief-of-detail Gretchen Williams fights to keep the team in order, while Agent Tashmo, a veteran presidential guard, reflects on the glory days of the Reagan administration.
As the primary approaches, these intense men and women balance their own lives with that of the vice president. An astounding novel of survival and absurdity, Big If casts a sharp eye on America today.

Returning to the Furey-Cooper family Martha McPhee introduced in Bright Angel Time, Gorgeous Lies opens two decades later. Charismatic therapist Anton Furey is dying, and the tribe he heads--his five children, his wife's three girls, and their uniting child, Alice--has returned to Chardin, the farm where they grew up and Anton played out his visions of communal living. Chronicled by film crews and reporters, they had been famous for being the new American blended family. But as Anton grows weaker, the hurts, allegiances, and betrayals of those years boil to the surface, and the children find themselves reliving the knotty intimacy they share as they struggle to make their peace with Anton and Anton struggles to make peace with himself.
McPhee has already established herself as an acclaimed new talent; now she fulfills her promise. With shimmering prose and an acutely observant eye, she has created a portrait of an era and a family that explores the limits, and obligations, of love.

Shortlisted for the 2002 National Book Award in Fiction: a dark, riotous Southern novel of sex, death, and transformation.Brad Watson's first novel has been eagerly awaited since his breathtaking, award-winning debut collection of short stories, Last Days of the Dog-Men. Here, he fulfills that literary promise with a humorous and jaundiced eye. Finus Bates has loved Birdie Wells since the day he saw her do a naked cartwheel in the woods in 1916. Later he won her at poker, lost her, then nearly won her again after the mysterious poisoning of her womanizing husband. Does Vish, the old medicine woman down in the ravine, hold the key to Birdie's elusive character? Or does Parnell, the town undertaker, whose unspeakable desires bring lust for life and death together? Or does the secret lie with some other colorful old-timer in Mercury, Mississippi, not such a small town anymore? With "graceful, patient, insightful and hilarious" prose (U.S.A. Today), Brad Watson chronicles Finus's steadfast devotion and Mercury's evolution from a sleepy backwater to a small city. With this "tragicomic story of missed opportunities and unjust necessities" (Fred Chappell), "Southern storytelling is alive and well in Watson's capable hands" (Kirkus Reviews starred review). "His work may remind readers of William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, or Flannery O'Connor, but has a power? and a charm? all its own, more pellucid than the first, gentler than the second, and kinder than the third" (Baltimore Sun).

Почти для всех, кто его окружает, Матт - не мальчик, а животное. Его держат, как зверька, на подстилке из опилок, в друзьях у него тараканы, а вместо игрушек - старые куриные кости. Но для Эль Патрона, всемогущего повелителя страны под названием Опиум - полоски маковых полей, протянувшейся между США и страной, когда-то называвшейся Мексикой, - Матт воплощает в себе надежду на вечную жизнь. Эль Патрон любит Матта, как самого себя, потому что Матт - это и есть он сам. У них одинаковая ДНК. Пока Матт мучительно пытается понять смысл своего существования, ему угрожает целая толпа зловещих персонажей, в том числе жадная до власти Семья Алакран. Его окружает грозная армия телохранителей и безмозглые рабы-идиойды, гнущие спину на маковых полях. И даже сбежав из поместья Алакранов, Матт не получает долгожданной свободы, потому что отличается от остальных людей так глубоко, что даже сам об этом не догадывается. На каждой странице этого яркого фантастического романа читателя ждут неожиданные, захватывающие приключения.

“Her poems startle us over and over with their shapeliness, their humor, their youthfulness, their wild aptness, their strangeness, their sudden familiarity, the authority of their insights, the moral gulps they prompt, their fierce exactness of language and memory.”—Galway Kinnell on presenting the Wallace Stevens Award
“In the Next Galaxy gives us the unflinching vision of a woman well into her ’80s, fully inhabiting body and mind.”—National Book Award Judges’ statement
“Compassionate, comic, feminist and horrified by injustice, Stone’s poems are composed with an accessible deftness.”—The Oregonian
Ruth Stone has earned nearly every major literary award for her poetry. She taught at many universities, finally settling at SUNY Binghamton. Today she lives in Vermont.

The most riveting political biography of our time, Robert A. Caro’s life of Lyndon B. Johnson, continues. Master of the Senate takes Johnson’s story through one of its most remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 through 1960, in the United States Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics, by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody of itself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperately needed liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson’s brilliance, charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history and how he used his incomparable legislative genius--seducing both Northern liberals and Southern conservatives--to pass the first Civil Rights legislation since Reconstruction. Brilliantly weaving rich detail into a gripping narrative, Caro gives us both a galvanizing portrait of Johnson himself and a definitive and revelatory study of the workings of legislative power.
