الارتسامات اللطاف في خاطر الحاج إلى أقدس مطاف
Par شكيب أرسلان. 2011
79-year-old Martha Anderson dreams of escaping her care home and robbing a bank. She has no intention of spending the…
rest of her days in an armchair and is determined to fund her way to a much more exciting life-style. Along with her four oldest friends - otherwise known as the League of Pensioners - Martha decides to rebel against all of the rules imposed upon them. Together, they cause an uproar with their antics: protesting against early bedtimes and plastic meals. As the elderly friends become more daring, their activities escalate and they come up with a cunning plan to break out of the care home and land themselves in a far more attractive Stockholm establishment. With the aid of their Zimmer frames, they resolve to stand up for old aged pensioners everywhere - Robin Hood style. And that's when the adventure really takes off . . . Translated by Rod Bradbury.

Death of a Newspaperman
Par Delfin Vigil. 2015
Their lives were centuries apart. Their spirit was one and the same. Desmond De Leon grows up in the outskirts…
of 1980s San Francisco, avoiding gangs, dodging bullets and caring nothing about the petty politics of his troubled part of town. He’s far too fascinated with the bloodier and bolder history of San Francisco newspaper journalism based downtown. Once the epicenter of American journalism, it’s where the infamous newspaper tycoon Charles Sansome died with pistol in hand during an era when editorial disputes were resolved within 20 paces. As the headstrong, scrappy kid rises from San Francisco Call copy boy to reporter, he documents the deteriorating character and morals of his journalist mentors, along with the decline of the newspaper itself. Walking the same ghostly streets as his 19th-century newspaper tycoon heroes once did, and with a dash of supernatural guidance, Desi’s search to find out what Call founder Charles Sansome would do leads him from the highest avenues of society and politics to the back alleys of the Mission District in this hip, funny, romantic and ultimately tragic near roman à clef written by the one who lived it.

FreeBrontosaurus
Par David Berkeley. 2015
The Free Brontosaurus is a novella comprising ten interweaving stories, complete with an accompanying album of ten songs. All set…
in the same fictional city, at the same moment in time, minor characters in one story are major characters in another. It is a bit like Olive Kitteridge, if reimagined by Miranda July. These are gently written narratives of isolation, describing characters disconnected from home and community. The book is full of dark humor, sadness and glimmers of joy. Ultimately, the characters’ abilities to find beauty in the bizarre connect and redeem them, offering the characters (and us) hope. The book is only half of this project, though, for it also comes with a soundtrack, one song per story, written loosely from the perspective of the main character from each tale. Both the book and the album can stand alone. However, when the two are appreciated together, an unusually moving and multi-layered world is born, likely to break and heal the heart.

Cascade Falls
Par Bruce Ferber. 2015
Cascade Falls explores the failed promise of the American Dream. Raised to believe that with hard work, anything is possible,…
a staggering number of Americans hate their jobs and see little chance of ever escaping the grind. In his tragicomic followup to the laugh-ridden Elevating Overman, Bruce Ferber asks the question: "How does giving up our dreams affect our relationships and our psyches?" Danny Johnson, a writer whose career never materialized, moves with his wife and children to Cascade Falls, a water-filled, golf community in the bone-dry desert outside of Phoenix. Grudgingly going to work for his father Ted, the Elmer Gantry of home development, Danny's quest for stability ultimately comes up short. His marriage begins to fray and the housing market goes bust, forcing him and those around him to examine their lives anew. Cascade Falls exposes the desperate price paid for sacrificing who we are for how and where we live.
All For Now
Par Joseph Di Prisco. 2014
Brother Stephen dies suddenly. That’s when things get complicated. Is Stephen’s death his wake-up call? This possibility slowly dawns on…
him. Soon, though, he is behind the wheel of a Prius, driving through his afterlife, listening to himself being interviewed on NPR. "It’s just like high school, Terry. You know, maybe it is high school,” he tells her, in the interview, as she questions him about lawsuits filed by students who claimed to have been molested by pedophile Brothers. As an administrator of his Roman Catholic religious order, he was caught in the middle of these heartbreaking cases. In fact, the lawsuit he was dealing with the moment he died is one that strikes especially close to his heart. He once knew the plaintiff--he once knew her very well--but he also knew the Brother who is named in the lawsuit. Now that he’s dead, he’s more determined than ever to get to the truth. He spends his afterlife unraveling this terrible mystery, learning more about the plight of the survivor and that of the accused, but the biggest mystery he faces is one about himself.

くすぐりの木: Isländernes Lovbog I Fristatens Tid. Text I, Volume 1...
Par フランコイス・キーサー. 2020
A family move into a new home. The disabled daughter, Kayleigh, is kept awake at nights by noises from under…
the tree in their garden. She investigates one night and is amazed at what she finds. She makes strange new friends and is soon partying with them at night too. Even when tragedy strikes a friend the happiness cannot end and ultimately a miracle occurs which makes Kayleigh able to walk. ある家族が新しい家に引っ越しました。ハンデのある娘、ケイリーは夜になると庭の木の下から聞こえてくる音で眠れません。ある晩、その音の正体を見つける決意をしました。そして、その正体を知ってびっくり。その不思議な友達とすぐに友達になり、自分も夜のパーテーに参加することに。たとえ悲しい事が起きてしまっても、その時に幸せは終わらることはない。奇跡が起き、ケイリーは自分の足で歩けることに。 “The Tickle Tree” was inspired by a tree in a park where we take our daughters to play. 「くすぐりの木」は、私たち夫婦が娘たちを連れて行く公園にある木に魅せられて書きました。 The story has been written in rhyme and it encourages us to always look for the magic in life as children and to remember to look for the magic in life as adults. リズム感がある話で、子供には、生活の中に存在する魔法をいつも探すように、また、大人になっても子供の時に見た魔法を思い出そうと励ます話です。 It also demonstrates how powerful happiness can be in that a young disabled girl experiences a miracle and is able to walk for the first time. また、幸せがどんなにパワフルで、ハンデにより歩けなかった女の子が奇跡を経験した後、自分の力で歩けるようになるほどスゴイと見せてくれます。

TheSexGirl
Par Alice Carbone. 2015
In 1994, one month after the Northridge earthquake and two years after the riots, K moves to Los Angeles to…
escape her demons. That's the thing about demons though, they tend to follow. At once honest and heartbreaking, The Sex Girl digs deep into the female psyche, dealing with addiction, sex, love, and friendship. K's story, and the unique way in which it's told adds a new literary voice to the mix. Alice Carbone's fresh take on the drug addiction novel, earns a place amongst the tortured junkies. With a sense of impending tragedy, Carbone weaves K's life together through found diaries and recollections, and in doing so she unpacks the density of a single person's story.
Strange As It Seems
Par Chip Jacobs. 2016
Paralyzed from the neck down, Gordon Zahler rose from his deathbed to a fast-talking, Hollywood entrepreneur/idea man who traveled the…
world, lived hard, married, fantasized about water-skiing and chased his dreams to create one of the largest independent postproduction shops in Hollywood. While this is Jacobs' story about his coming to grips with his deformed uncle, himself and his mother, the silent victim to Gordon's recklessness, Strange As It Seems is also a tip of the hat to the man who turned his back on the notion of I can't.
