Book Description
Winner of the Alex Award “Mike Muñoz Is a Holden Caulfield for a New Millennium--a '10th-generation peasant with a Mexican last name, raised by a single mom on an Indian reservation' . . . Evison, as in his previous four novels, has a light touch and humorously guides the reader, this time through the minefield that is working-class America.” --The New York Times Book Review For Mike Muñoz, life has been a whole lot of waiting for something to happen. Not too many years out of high school and still doing menial work--and just fired from his latest gig as a lawn boy on a landscaping crew--he’s smart enough to know that he’s got to be the one to shake things up if he’s ever going to change his life. But how? He’s not qualified for much of anything. He has no particular talents, although he is stellar at handling a lawn mower and wielding clipping shears. But now that career seems to be behind him. So what’s next for Mike Muñoz? In this funny, biting, touching, and ultimately inspiring novel, bestselling author Jonathan Evison takes the reader into the heart and mind of a young man determined to achieve the American dream of happiness and prosperity--who just so happens to find himself along the way.

Book Description
Sophia Gemaye young, beautiful, passionate is a freedom fighter in the cause of an oppressed minority. After an airline bombing goes horribly wrong, Sophia devises a brilliant new plan to bring world attention to her people's plight: sabotage the world's currency markets, where more than a trillion dollars trade daily, bringing even the mightiest corporations and governments to their knees. Her scheme will be neither cheap nor easy. Money she gets from some dubious backers, but she also needs highly secret financial information. For this, she heads to IMFO the International Monetary and Financial Organization, located on Nineteenth Street, N.W., Washington D.C. There, she woos the disarmingly attractive Harry Hoffinger, whose cutting-edge computer model is crucial to Sophia's plan. Sophia's penchant for confidential data and for Harry catches the eye of Celine O'Rourke, an embittered IMFO veteran, whose dogged pursuit of Sophia's secret takes her from riot-torn streets of Jakarta to the corridors of power in Washington and the hallowed halls of the Palais in Geneva. As the financial markets crumble, and the lives of key finance ministers hang in the balance, both women will learn the price of love and the cost of betrayal.

Book Description
A 2012 National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • One of The New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of 2012 • One of TIME's Top 10 Fiction Books of 2012 • One of The Wall Street Journal's Best 10 Fiction Books of 2012 • A New York Times and Washington Post Notable Book of 2012 “[NW] is that rare thing, a book that is radical and passionate and real.” —Anne Enright, The New York Times Book Review “A triumph . . . As Smith threads together her characters' inner and outer worlds, every sentence sings.” —The Guardian “A powerful portrait of class and identity in multicultural London.” —Entertainment Weekly Set in northwest London, Zadie Smith’s brilliant tragicomic novel follows four locals—Leah, Natalie, Felix, and Nathan—as they try to make adult lives outside of Caldwell, the council estate of their childhood. In private houses and public parks, at work and at play, these Londoners inhabit a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end. Depicting the modern urban zone—familiar to city-dwellers everywhere—NW is a quietly devastating novel of encounters, mercurial and vital, like the city itself.
