Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta

Pages : 316
Book Description
Winner of the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award In this “dangerously hilarious” novel (Los Angeles Times), a trans woman reenters life on the outside after more than twenty years in a men’s prison, over one consequential Fourth of July weekend—from the author of the PEN/Faulkner Award winner Delicious Foods. Carlotta Mercedes has been misunderstood her entire life. When she was pulled into a robbery gone wrong, she still went by the name she’d grown up with in Fort Greene, Brooklyn—before it gentrified. But not long after her conviction, she took the name Carlotta and began to live as a woman, an embrace of selfhood that prison authorities rejected, keeping Carlotta trapped in an all-male cell block, abused by both inmates and guards, and often placed in solitary. In her fifth appearance before the parole board, Carlotta is at last granted conditional freedom and returns to a much-changed New York City. Over a whirlwind Fourth of July weekend, she struggles to reconcile with the son she left behind, to reunite with a family reluctant to accept her true identity, and to avoid any minor parole infraction that might get her consigned back to lockup. Written with the same astonishing verve of Delicious Foods, which dazzled critics and readers alike, Didn’t Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta sweeps the reader through seemingly every street of Brooklyn, much as Joyce’s Ulysses does through Dublin. The novel sings with brio and ambition, delivering a fantastically entertaining read and a cast of unforgettable characters even as it challenges us to confront the glaring injustices of a prison system that continues to punish people long after their time has been served.

Olivia's Dead
Author: Madeleine Andersson
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1783063378
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
I stared out of the window and watched the clouds float by like wisps of candy floss. I tried not to think about it, but my mind kept wandering back to the note. ‘I’m sorry. I can’t do this anymore. If Olivia’s death has taught me anything it’s that life is fragile and short. Don’t try to contact me. I’m going into the wilderness’. Overcome with grief at the death of her friend Olivia, Alice escapes to Kenya. In the wilds of the Maasai Mara, she unexpectedly falls in love with charming safari company owner and rally driver Jamil. However, not everyone is happy with the liaison. Unaware her life is in danger Alice embarks on a passionate affair with Jamil who takes her on a magical tour across Kenya from the stunning Mara wildlife and mesmerising sunsets to the heart-stopping thrill of a rally in Tsavo. Finally they arrive in Watamu on the shores of the jewelled waters of the Indian Ocean. The action moves between Kenya, England and Zanzibar, with the enemy, like a cunning chess player, shadowing their every move. The suspense builds swiftly and, as their heady romance appears doomed, Alice and Jamil face the toughest challenge of all. Olivia’s Dead is a spell-binding, intense love story embroidered with threads of menace and will appeal mainly to female readers. Set mostly in Africa, it engages all the senses and romps along scattering nuggets of suspense-filled detail, keeping the reader in its thrall to the very last line.
