Farther Away
Author: Jonathan Franzen
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0374708762
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Jonathan Franzen's Freedom was the runaway most-discussed novel of 2010, an ambitious and searching engagement with life in America in the twenty-first century. In The New York Times Book Review, Sam Tanenhaus proclaimed it "a masterpiece of American fiction" and lauded its illumination, "through the steady radiance of its author's profound moral intelligence, [of] the world we thought we knew." In Farther Away, which gathers together essays and speeches written mostly in the past five years, Franzen returns with renewed vigor to the themes, both human and literary, that have long preoccupied him. Whether recounting his violent encounter with bird poachers in Cyprus, examining his mixed feelings about the suicide of his friend and rival David Foster Wallace, or offering a moving and witty take on the ways that technology has changed how people express their love, these pieces deliver on Franzen's implicit promise to conceal nothing. On a trip to China to see first-hand the environmental devastation there, he doesn't omit mention of his excitement and awe at the pace of China's economic development; the trip becomes a journey out of his own prejudice and moral condemnation. Taken together, these essays trace the progress of unique and mature mind wrestling with itself, with literature, and with some of the most important issues of our day. Farther Away is remarkable, provocative, and necessary.

Ratner's Star
Author: Don DeLillo
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307817156
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
"A whimsical, surrealistic excursion into the modern scientific mind." --The New Yorker One of DeLillo's first novels, Ratner's Star follows Billy, the genius adolescent, who is recruited to live in obscurity, underground, as he tries to help a panel of estranged, demented, and yet lovable scientists communicate with beings from outer space. It is a mix of quirky humor, science, mathematical theories, as well as the complex emotional distance and sadness people feel. Ratner's Star demonstrates both the thematic and prosaic muscularity that typifies DeLillo's later and more recent works, like The Names (which is also available in Vintage Contemporaries). "His most spectacularly inventive novel." --The New York Times

Pages : 251
Book Description
Waiting for the right guy. Ella Couture didn't mean to save herself. But success runs in the family and Ella, a fiery and self-made interior decorator, never wanted to settle for anything less than a quality man. But another disappointing breakup has Ella flirting with idea of a meaningless fling -- because this whole v-card business has gone on for way too long. When Ella visits her brother Lance for the weekend, she finds herself all alone with his teammate, Radar. The rugged hockey star is tall, chiseled and gorgeous -- and based on his past, he won't get attached. It's a nice fantasy ... but Ella isn't the type of girl to sleep with her brother's best friend. That's what she keeps telling herself, anyway ... Live by the code, die by the code. On the ice, tough guy 'Radar' enforces the code of the game with his fists. And he won't let anyone mess with the team's superstar center, Lance Couture. Radar might sleep around, but he knows to keep his distance when Lance's sister visits the two roommates at their Boston condo. The code has a rule about family members, after all: they're strictly off-limits. Not that Radar's worried about breaking that rule -- he's already heard an earful about how insane his best bud's younger sis is. But Lance never said anything about Ella being a cute babe with an adorable laugh. And he definitely never said anything about how she's finally ready to lose her v-card ... But if Radar can't keep his hands off Ella, not only will he stab his best friend in the back -- he'll ruin everything he's worked for. So why can't he get that girl out of his mind? ---- Forbidden Puck is a 60,000 word hockey romance! This stand-alone novel is the first entry in the Boston Brawlers series. Narrated in alternating first person. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA guaranteed.
