Book Description
Irede: the world’s oldest pleasure town, built as an offering to a god. Here alone, myth has endured the passing of millennia. In a townscape dyed vermilion by the light of hanging lanterns, fine wine and masterful music sate the desires of guests who travel from across the continent to experience Irede’s wonders—and meet its beautiful courtesans. Yet all is not well here, as shades—supernatural entities born of human desires—lurk in the shadows, their motives known only to themselves, and deep beneath the earth, something primal stirs. When Xixu, a straight-laced military officer, arrives from the capital to become the town’s newest shadeslayer, he encounters Sari, a young courtesan with hair the color of moonlight. Thus begins a tale of love and conflict, of desire and blood, and of gods and men.

The Pale King
Author: David Foster Wallace
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316175293
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
The "breathtakingly brilliant" novel by the author of Infinite Jest (New York Times) is a deeply compelling and satisfying story, as hilarious and fearless and original as anything Wallace ever wrote. The agents at the IRS Regional Examination Center in Peoria, Illinois, appear ordinary enough to newly arrived trainee David Foster Wallace. But as he immerses himself in a routine so tedious and repetitive that new employees receive boredom-survival training, he learns of the extraordinary variety of personalities drawn to this strange calling. And he has arrived at a moment when forces within the IRS are plotting to eliminate even what little humanity and dignity the work still has. The Pale King remained unfinished at the time of David Foster Wallace's death, but it is a deeply compelling and satisfying novel, hilarious and fearless and as original as anything Wallace ever undertook. It grapples directly with ultimate questions -- questions of life's meaning and of the value of work and society -- through characters imagined with the interior force and generosity that were Wallace's unique gifts. Along the way it suggests a new idea of heroism and commands infinite respect for one of the most daring writers of our time. "The Pale King is by turns funny, shrewd, suspenseful, piercing, smart, terrifying, and rousing." --Laura Miller, Salon
