Another Girl, Another Planet
Author: Lou Antonelli
Publisher: WordFire +ORM
ISBN: 1614754950
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
In an alternate 1980s, a Mars colony bureaucrat finds himself battling corruption, conspiracy, and undercover androids in this sci-fi thriller. Few people believe Dave Shuster’s stories about the red planet. But now government agents are eager to discuss a photo showing a graveyard on its surface, complete with crosses. Shuster claims that he once lived on Mars . . . in an alternate timeline. According to his story, he was a low-level bureaucrat in the administration of a joint US/Soviet colony. And things did not go well. During his posting, Shuster was caught up in a murder mystery involving the illegal use of robot technology. The Cold War had taken a very different turn—largely influenced by Admiral Robert Heinlein. When Shuster arrived on Mars in 1985, he was thrown into a power vacuum, force to fight a rogue industrialist with some help from unlikely sources in a society infiltrated by unnervingly realistic androids. This is his testimony.

Returning to the scene of her childhood, Thorn takes us beyond the bus shelters, the pub car parks and the weekly discos, to the parents who wanted so much for their children and the children who wanted none of it. With great wit and insight, Thorn reconsiders the Green Belt post-war dream so many artists have mocked, and yet so many artists have come from.

The Leavers (National Book Award Finalist)
Author: Lisa Ko
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 161620804X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
FINALIST FOR THE 2017 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION Named a Best Book of 2017 by NPR, Entertainment Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, BuzzFeed, Bustle, and Electric Literature “There was a time I would have called Lisa Ko’s novel beautifully written, ambitious, and moving, and all of that is true, but it’s more than that now: if you want to understand a forgotten and essential part of the world we live in, The Leavers is required reading.” —Ann Patchett, author of Commonwealth Lisa Ko’s powerful debut, The Leavers, is the winner of the 2016 PEN/Bellwether Prize for Fiction, awarded by Barbara Kingsolver for a novel that addresses issues of social justice. One morning, Deming Guo’s mother, Polly, an undocumented Chinese immigrant, goes to her job at a nail salon—and never comes home. No one can find any trace of her. With his mother gone, eleven-year-old Deming is left mystified and bereft. Eventually adopted by a pair of well-meaning white professors, Deming is moved from the Bronx to a small town upstate and renamed Daniel Wilkinson. But far from all he’s ever known, Daniel struggles to reconcile his adoptive parents’ desire that he assimilate with his memories of his mother and the community he left behind. Told from the perspective of both Daniel—as he grows into a directionless young man—and Polly, Ko’s novel gives us one of fiction’s most singular mothers. Loving and selfish, determined and frightened, Polly is forced to make one heartwrenching choice after another. Set in New York and China, The Leavers is a vivid examination of borders and belonging. It’s a moving story of how a boy comes into his own when everything he loves is taken away, and how a mother learns to live with the mistakes of the past.
