Lark Ascending
Par Silas House. 2022
Winner of the Southern Book Prize for Fiction * Winner of a Nautilus Award (Gold)A timely, powerful story of survival set…
in the not-too-distant future that Margaret Renkl (Late Migrations) calls &“a beautiful book...shot through with such tenderness and humanity, such love and courage and beauty and hope, that it feels almost like a prayer.&” With fires devastating much of America, Lark and his family first leave their home in Maryland for Maine. But as the country increasingly falls under the grip of religious nationalism, it becomes clear that nowhere is safe, not just from physical disasters but also persecution. The family secures a place on a crowded boat headed to Ireland, the last place on earth rumored to be accepting American refugees. Upon arrival, it turns out that the safe harbor of Ireland no longer exists either—and Lark, the sole survivor of the trans-Atlantic voyage, must disappear into the countryside. As he runs for his life, Lark finds two equally lost and desperate souls: one of the last remaining dogs, who becomes his closest companion, and a fierce, mysterious woman in search of her lost son. Together they form a makeshift family and attempt to reach Glendalough, a place they believe will offer protection. But can any community provide the safety that they seek? Lark Ascending is a moving and unforgettable story of friendship and bravery, and even more, a story of the ongoing fight to protect our personal freedoms and find our shared humanity, from a writer at the peak of his powers.Sizzle Reel: A Novel
Par Carlyn Greenwald. 2023
An unputdownable queer coming-of-age rom-com about life and love in Hollywood. • "Both an irresistible love story and a riveting…
exploration of Hollywood dynamics.&” —Rachel Lynn Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex TalkFor aspiring cinematographer Luna Roth, coming out as bisexual at twenty-four is proving more difficult than she anticipated. Sure, her best friend and fellow queer Romy is thrilled for her—but she has no interest in coming out to her backwards parents, she wouldn't know how to flirt with a girl if one fell at her feet, and she has no sexual history to build off. Not to mention she really needs to focus her energy on escaping her emotionally-abusive-but-that&’s-Hollywood talent manager boss and actually get working under a real director of photography anyway.When she meets twenty-eight-year-old A-list actress Valeria Sullivan around the office, Luna thinks she&’s found her solution. She'll use Valeria's interest in her cinematography to get a PA job on the set of Valeria's directorial debut—and if Valeria is as gay as Luna suspects, and she happens to be Luna's route to losing her virginity, too . . . well, that's just an added bonus. Enlisting Romy&’s help, Luna starts the juggling act of her life—impress Valeria&’s DP to get another job after this one, get as close to Valeria as possible, and help Romy with her own career moves.But when Valeria begins to reciprocate romantic interest in Luna, the act begins to crumble—straining her relationship with Romy and leaving her job prospects precarious. Now Luna has to figure out if she can she fulfill her dreams as a filmmaker, keep her best friend, and get the girl. . . or if she&’s destined to end up on the cutting room floor.The New Life: A Novel
Par Tom Crewe. 2023
Winner of the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction, the Prix du Premier Roman Étranger, and the South Bank Sky Arts…
Award for Literature • Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, and The Times (London) • The Sunday Times (London) Novel of the Year • Shortlisted for the 2023 Nero Book Award for Debut Fiction and the Polari Prize • Selected for Kirkus Review&’s Best Fiction Books of the Year A captivating and &“remarkable&” (The Boston Globe) debut that &“brims with intelligence and insight&” (The New York Times), about two marriages, two forbidden love affairs, and the passionate search for social and sexual freedom in late 19th-century London.In the summer of 1894, John Addington and Henry Ellis begin writing a book arguing that homosexuality, which is a crime at the time, is a natural, harmless variation of human sexuality. Though they have never met, John and Henry both live in London with their wives, Catherine and Edith, and in each marriage, there is a third party: John has a lover, a working-class man named Frank, and Edith spends almost as much time with her friend Angelica as she does with Henry. John and Catherine have three grown daughters and a long, settled marriage, over the course of which Catherine has tried to accept her husband&’s sexuality and her own role in life; Henry and Edith&’s marriage is intended to be a revolution in itself, an intellectual partnership that dismantles the traditional understanding of what matrimony means. Shortly before the book is to be published, Oscar Wilde is arrested. John and Henry must decide whether to go on, risking social ostracism and imprisonment, or to give up the project for their own safety and the safety of the people they love. A richly detailed, powerful, and visceral novel about love, sex, and the struggle for a better world, The New Life brilliantly asks: &“What&’s worth jeopardizing in the name or progress?&” (The New York Times Book Review, Editors&’ Choice).No te enamores de la chica de los ojos color chocolate

No logro comprenderla y eso me resulta más tentador. Lo sé, ¡no tengo remedio! Por si fuera poco, también he conocido a Jessi. Una chica encantadora, compresiva y dulce. Aunque la veo más como una amiga que como una historia de amor, ¿o no? ¡Ay, estoy hecha un lío! ¿Apuesto por lo prohibido y sexi o por alguien que me escucha y me comprende? O, quizás, si sigo tan indecisa, pierda a las dos. El amor no está hecho para mí… ¿o sí?Escaping Mr. Rochester

Par James Hannaham. 2022
Winner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award In this &“dangerously hilarious&” novel (Los Angeles Times), a trans woman reenters life on…
the outside after more than twenty years in a men&’s prison, over one consequential Fourth of July weekend—from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods. Carlotta Mercedes has been misunderstood her entire life. When she was pulled into a robbery gone wrong, she still went by the name she&’d grown up with in Fort Greene, Brooklyn—before it gentrified. But not long after her conviction, she took the name Carlotta and began to live as a woman, an embrace of selfhood that prison authorities rejected, keeping Carlotta trapped in an all-male cell block, abused by both inmates and guards, and often placed in solitary. In her fifth appearance before the parole board, Carlotta is at last granted conditional freedom and returns to a much-changed New York City. Over a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend, she struggles to reconcile with the son she left behind, to reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity, and to avoid any minor parole infraction that might get her consigned back to lockup. Written with the same astonishing verve of Delicious Foods, which dazzled critics and readers alike, Didn&’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta sweeps the reader through seemingly every street of Brooklyn, much as Joyce&’s Ulysses does through Dublin. The novel sings with brio and ambition, delivering a fantastically entertaining read and a cast of unforgettable characters even as it challenges us to confront the glaring injustices of a prison system that continues to punish people long after their time has been served.Love & Other Disasters (Nashville Love #1)
