Rosenfeld
Author: Maya Kessler
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1668053470
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
“Combustive.” —Esquire • “This novel should come with an X rating.” —Los Angeles Times • “All intensity and desire…will have you turning the pages as fast as you can.” —Chicago Review of Books • “A new spin on forbidden lust.” —Debutiful For readers of Luster, All Fours, and Vladimir: a brazenly sexy and scathingly candid novel about a white-hot relationship and the two intractable characters who emerge from it transformed. Noa Simon is a thirty-six-year-old filmmaker who knows what she wants when she sees it, and when she meets Teddy Rosenfeld, an antagonistic, older CEO, she goes for the jugular. An electrifying encounter in a bathroom stall after their first meeting only serves to whet Noa’s appetite, and despite Teddy’s subsequent rejections, she is exhilarated by the challenge—and by her own insatiability. In her first power play, she takes a job at his office, setting up a battle of the wills that Teddy proves unable to resist. Their ravenous, volatile romance will ultimately unearth difficult secrets from both of their pasts, and finally force Noa to reckon with her deepest desires and most destructive impulses. Written with visceral intensity and voyeuristic precision, Rosenfeld is a propulsive tale of sexual abandon that titillates and interrogates in equal measure.

One day, Robert ventures forth into the searing heat to gas up his car. Immediately he encounters enigmatic Lucy who is trying to escape her brutal fiancé, Matthew Gliss. On a whim, Lucy invites Robert to her apartment where she shows him her mysterious tattoo and tells him of her dangerous life with Matthew Gliss.

Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Justin had given up hope on ever finding true love, but when he met Lily everything changed. Born into a traditional Chinese family, Lily was expected to do as she was told. Loyalty to country and to family was of utmost importance, while loyalty to self was not a common pursuit. Raised in a society where it was considered a weakness to show emotions or develop character, Lily quietly dreamed of liberation and sharing a life with someone she felt happy with. Despite facing burdensome challenges of age, race, and cultural differences, Justin and Lily knew without a doubt that their love was worth fighting for. A book for anyone who has risen above the binding expectations of others and discovered a freedom that only belief in the 'impossible' can bring. It is for anyone who dare to believe in things that are yet to be seen and for anyone who dare to believe in destiny and refuse to give up on their dream. It is for anyone who has ever longed to experience true love and to believe in it's possibility. A timeless tale, with a twist, of finding love and holding onto it at all costs....

Diary
Author: Witold Gombrowicz
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300183399
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 816
Book Description
Just before the outbreak of World War II, young Witold Gombrowicz left his home in Poland and set sail for South America. In 1953, still living as an expatriate in Argentina, he began his Diary with one of literature's most memorable openings: "Monday Me. Tuesday Me. Wednesday Me. Thursday Me." Gombrowicz's Diary grew to become a vast collection of essays, short notes, polemics, and confessions on myriad subjects ranging from political events to literature to the certainty of death. Not a traditional journal, Diary is instead the commentary of a brilliant and restless mind. Widely regarded as a masterpiece, this brilliant work compelled Gombrowicz's attention for a decade and a half until he penned his final entry in France, shortly before his death in 1969. Long out of print in English, Diary is now presented in a convenient single volume featuring a new preface by Rita Gombrowicz, the author's widow and literary executor. This edition also includes ten previously unpublished pages from the 1969 portion of the diary.

We Are All Crew

Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
“A Huck Finn for our environmentally damaged age, lost on a river, and moving downstream with humane monsters and monstrous humans.” —Marlon James, Man Booker Prize–winning author Two fourteen-year-old runaways hell-bent on reaching California end up aboard the Tamzene, a mysterious riverboat that runs on alternative fuel. Piloted by the enigmatic Dr. Seabrook, the Tamzene travels the waterways of a bizarre, fun-house image of the US. This is a satire that questions the sanity of our basic principles, as Gulliver’s Travels did for eighteenth-century England. “This eye-popping page turner hits on all levels and will keep you up way past your bedtime . . . A coming of age thriller with imagination, guts, and soul.” —EcoLit Books “Two fourteen-year-old boys embark on a cross-country boat trip that becomes a romp through social anthropology in this hilarious, picaresque novel . . . We Are All Crew is a coming-of-age story for the boys, but perhaps, if we can channel Landauer’s camouflaged optimism and his biting humor, for America as well.” —Tim McLoughlin, author of Heart of the Old Country “Taking on serious subjects—environment, deforestation, global warming, and partisan hypocrisy—while addressing the various social networks, apps, video games, and rock-star super-shows, is a lot to handle. But Bill Landauer rises to the task to create a wonderful read. Just sit back and enjoy.” —Rashidah Ismaili, author of Autobiography of the Lower East Side
