NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • “An epic road trip [that also] captures the unruly intimacies of marriage and parenthood ... This is a novel that daylights our common humanity, and challenges us to reconcile our differences.” —The Washington Post One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years In Valeria Luiselli’s fiercely imaginative follow-up to the American Book Award-winning Tell Me How It Ends, an artist couple set out with their two children on a road trip from New York to Arizona in the heat of summer. As the family travels west, the bonds between them begin to fray: a fracture is growing between the parents, one the children can almost feel beneath their feet. Through ephemera such as songs, maps and a Polaroid camera, the children try to make sense of both their family’s crisis and the larger one engulfing the news: the stories of thousands of kids trying to cross the southwestern border into the United States but getting detained—or lost in the desert along the way. A breath-taking feat of literary virtuosity, Lost Children Archive is timely, compassionate, subtly hilarious, and formally inventive—a powerful, urgent story about what it is to be human in an inhuman world.

Fairytales for Lost Children

Publisher: Angelica Entertainment Limited
ISBN: 9780956971944
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
FAIRYTALES FOR LOST CHILDREN is narrated by people constantly on the verge of self-revelation. These characters - young, gay and lesbian Somalis - must navigate the complexities of family, identity and the immigrant experience as they tumble towards freedom. Set in Kenya, Somalia and South London, these stories are imbued with pathos, passion and linguistic playfulness, marking the arrival of a singular new voice in contemporary fiction. Praise for FAIRYTALES FOR LOST CHILDREN: 'Fantastic writing. I am most highly impressed. I've read some of the stories more than once and saw in each of them plenty of talent everywhere - in every sinew and vein.' - NURUDDIN FARAH 'There is nothing more humbling than good writing except when the author is fiercely beautiful and ferociously generous of heart. That Diriye Osman should possess so much talent is only fair in light of his goodness. Read this book.' - MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO -The characters in these fairy tales are displaced in multiple, complicated ways. But Osman's storytelling creates a shelter for them; a warm place which is both real and imaginary, in which they find political, sexual, and ultimately psychic liberation.' - ALISON BECHDEL 'East Africa. South London. Queer. Displaced. Mentally Ill. My excitement over Osman and his writing comes, in part, out of delight at the impossibility of categorisation.' - ELLAH ALLFREY The Telegraph

Book Description
This paperback includes all six books in the Lost Children Series by USA TODAY bestselling author Krista Street that reviewers have called, "the perfect mix of romance, mystery, action, and fantasy!" After waking up in an alleyway without a whisper of a memory, Lena begins an arduous journey west following an irresistible instinct. Armed with nothing but a tattooed symbol on her inner wrist, and the ability to see auras, Lena ends up in Colorado and quickly learns she's not alone. Seven other young adults converge on the same spot, and they're all just like her-strangers who woke up in random cities with missing memories, tattooed symbols, and unique paranormal powers. One, in particular, catches her attention. Dark-eyed, super-strong, and drop-dead gorgeous, Flint, moves with the speed of a tornado but is determined to avoid Lena's gaze. Yet something within her reaches for him, as if her soul knows he's her safe place. But safety is merely an illusion. Pooling together their scraps of memories and unique talents, Lena, Flint, and the rest of the gang discover their sinister, hidden origins-and it's not a pretty past. There are other lost children, locked away, unable to escape, and the clock is ticking. Because if Lena and her new family can't rescue all of the lost children in time-none of them will survive. ****************************************************************** Buy now! ******************************************************************
