F. Ser.)
Par Ursula K. Le Guin, Eric Beddows. 2003
Winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for Short Story A New York Times Notable Book In these &“vivid, entertaining, philosophical dispatches&” (San…
Francisco Chronicle), literary legend Le Guin weaves together influences as wide-reaching as Borges, The Little Prince, and Gulliver&’s Travels to examine feminism, tyranny, mortality and immortality, art, and the meaning—and mystery—of being human. Sita Dulip has missed her flight out of Chicago. But instead of listening to garbled announcements in the airport, she&’s found a method of bypassing the crowds at the desks, the nasty lunch, the whimpering children and punitive parents, and the blue plastic chairs bolted to the floor: she changes planes. Changing planes—not airplanes, of course, but entire planes of existence—enables Sita to visit societies not found on Earth. As &“Sita Dulip&’s Method&” spreads, the narrator and her acquaintances encounter cultures where the babble of children fades over time into the silence of adults; where whole towns exist solely for holiday shopping; where personalities are ruled by rage; where genetic experiments produce less than desirable results. With &“the eye of an anthropologist and the humor of a satirist&” (USA Today), Le Guin takes readers on a truly universal tour, showing through the foreign and alien indelible truths about our own human society.The Drowning Summer
Par C. L. Herman. 2022
In this contemporary fantasy by the New York Times bestselling author of All of Us Villains, two girls find themselves drawn to each…
other while using their supernatural powers to solve a crime—until things take a deadly turn. Six years ago, three Long Island teenagers were murdered—their drowned bodies discovered with sand dollars placed over their eyes. The mystery of the drowning summer was never solved, but as far as the town&’s concerned, Evelyn Mackenzie&’s father did it. His charges were dropped only because Evelyn summoned a ghost to clear his name. She swore never to call a spirit again. She lied. For generations, Mina Zanetti&’s family has used the ocean&’s power to guide the dead to their final resting place. But as sea levels rise, the ghosts grow more dangerous, and Mina has been shut out of the family business. When her former friend Evelyn performs another summoning that goes horribly wrong, the two girls must uncover who was really behind the drowning summer murders—and navigate their growing attraction—before the line between life and death dissolves for good. Beautifully written and enticingly witchy, The Drowning Summer is an eerie story perfect for reading under a full moon.The Equinox Test (School for Unusual Magic)
