Pages : 384
Book Description
Gussalen, a young woman condemned to death in medieval England, is ripped away from all she knows, first by injustice, then by time travelers. This so-called rescue thrusts her into a new, unimaginable universe—one she cannot distinguish from Hell. Her saviors, Terry and Les—recruited by future scientists to gather lost historical data and DNA samples—must also transport the precious crystelix, a navigation device crucial to the Angeléka, the spacecraft that will carry them all away from the Earth to a new future settlement of humanity. The crystelix is not only precious in getting the Angeléka back to her home era and planet, however. As they carry its valuable components through multiple realities, the three must learn and adapt to new timelines that hold both wonder and horror, staying clear of danger, would-be thieves, and even a possible traitor. Through it all, they must also come to terms with personal demons. Gussalen, chased by specters of damnation, endures a future shock that is completely lost on Terry. A happy-go-lucky runaway born in the 1970s, Terry is not always in sync with Les, a disciplined veteran battling his own traumatic memories. All three have secret feelings of indifference to their destination, but they know that if the crystelix is lost, they, along with the entire crew, will be stranded in the limbo of forgotten history.

Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
From personal loss to phantom diseases, The Empathy Exams is a bold and brilliant collection, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Essay Collection of Spring 2014 Beginning with her experience as a medical actor who was paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's visceral and revealing essays ask essential questions about our basic understanding of others: How should we care about each other? How can we feel another's pain, especially when pain can be assumed, distorted, or performed? Is empathy a tool by which to test or even grade each other? By confronting pain—real and imagined, her own and others'—Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel. She draws from her own experiences of illness and bodily injury to engage in an exploration that extends far beyond her life, spanning wide-ranging territory—from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration—in its search for a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace.
