Books Fiction to Read in Fall 2023 • One of Kirkus Reviews' Fall 2023 Big Books By Small Presses • A Kirkus Review Work of Translated Fiction To Read Now • One of CBC Books Best Books of 2023 In an alternate history in which the French never surrendered Detroit, children protect their own kingdom in the trees. In an alternate history of Detroit, the Motor City was never surrendered to the US. Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism—and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance. When a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city’s orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society, she can’t imagine the strength she will find. A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love—together.Par Waubgeshig Rice. 2023

Science fiction is a literary genre based on scientific speculation. Works of science fiction use the ideas and the vocabulary…
of all sciences to create valid narratives that explore the future effects of science on events and human beings. Science Fact and Science Fiction examines in one volume how science has propelled science-fiction and, to a lesser extent, how science fiction has influenced the sciences. Although coverage will discuss the science behind the fiction from the Classical Age to the present, focus is naturally on the 19th century to the present, when the Industrial Revolution and spectacular progress in science and technology triggered an influx of science-fiction works speculating on the future. As scientific developments alter expectations for the future, the literature absorbs, uses, and adapts such contextual visions. The goal of the Encyclopedia is not to present a catalog of sciences and their application in literary fiction, but rather to study the ongoing flow and counterflow of influences, including how fictional representations of science affect how we view its practice and disciplines. Although the main focus is on literature, other forms of science fiction, including film and video games, are explored and, because science is an international matter, works from non-English speaking countries are discussed as needed.Par Philippa Carr. 1992

esclarecer la vida y el asesinato de su madre. Una novela de amor que deviene en thriller.Un true crime que descubre el lado oscuro del Japón más exquisito. En Japón, una industria encubierta ha crecido entorno a la «wakaresaseya», esto es: los terminadores de relaciones. Se trata de personas contratadas por un cónyuge para seducir al otro y luego obtener una ventaja en los procedimientos de divorcio al poder acusarles de adulterio. Cuando Satō contrata a Kaitarō, un agente de wakaresaseya, para que tenga una aventura con su esposa Rina, no cree que todo ello puedaírsele de las manos. Pero lo cierto es que Sato nunca ha entendido realmente a Rina, ni explorado sus deseos. Kaitarō, pues, deberá hacer aquello que el marido de Rina no se ha dignado a hacer nunca, para así poder enamorarla. Mientras Rina ignora las circunstancias que lo han unido a Kaitarō, ambos se enamoran desesperadamente, lo que les conducirá a un callejón sin salida en el que la propia hija de Rina se verá atrapada.Contada desde puntos de vista alternos y con el impresionante paisaje de Japón siempre como telón de fondo, Stephanie Scott presenta una novela en la que el amor tiene unas intrincadas repercusiones que arrastran a sus personajes hacia la tragedia. Mientras la hija de Rina, Sumiko, llena los vacíos de la historia de su madre y de su propia memoria, Scott investiga los espinosos fundamentos psicológicos y moralesde las acciones que tomamos en nombre del amor, cuestionando aquella línea divisoria que trazamos entre la pasión y la posesión.
