Adrift in a Vanishing City
Author: Vincent Czyz
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781495106057
Category : Short stories, American
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Fiction. Preface by Samuel R. Delany. "Deeply romantic (in the best sense) and darkly evocative, Czyz's lush style explores regions well beyond simple narrative, probing the constantly shifting, oblique connections between failure, memory and the forever-incomplete nature of human desire. A moody, gorgeous and formally innovative collection, ADRIFT IN A VANISHING CITY deserves a wide audience among readers who understand that fiction is about more than getting a character from one room to the next." Greg Burkman, The Seattle Times "Written in hauntingly lyrical prose, Czyz's short stories unfold like a vivid tapestry that is held together by the] thread of human experience." Michelle Howe, Newark Star Ledger "Certain books require a patient reader, one with the ability to concentrate closely and intently. Sentences are not straightforward or transparent, but long and labyrinthine, like intriguing yet shadowy dreams. The writing, more like poetry than prose, calls attention to language, to the fullness of a word, a sentence, with the purpose of expressing inexpressible emotions and experiences. Think of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past or Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury or, more recently, William Vollmann's Fathers and Crows. ...] Vincent Czyz's ADRIFT IN A VANISHING CITY is just this sort of work: lyrical and pensive, an odd and often beautiful portrait of longing." Capper Nichols, Minnesota Daily"

They found themselves battling pounding rain, waves the size of skyscrapers, and 140 knot winds. Richard tethered himself to the boat and sent Tami below to safety, and then all went eerily quiet. Hours later, Tami awakened to find the boat in ruins, and Richard nowhere in sight. Adrift is the story of Tami’s miraculous forty-one-day journey to safety on a ravaged boat with no motor and no masts, and with little hope for rescue.

Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
A delicious hot billionaire romance featuring two polar opposites adrift in a small island town. It’s bullshit. I’m innocent. And to prove it, I’m surrounded by lawyers and paying them ridiculous sums of money, and the legal eagles have the gall to tell me to be patient. I’m Gabriel Chesterton, a hedge fund manager with a stellar track record. When my firm asks me to take a paid leave while the SEC twits investigate, I have half a mind to tell them where they can shove it. But, I’m told this nightmare won’t last long. And a vacation calls my name - or rather, one particular online celebrity who happens to live on the island my buddy now calls home. She’s the perfect distraction while my life gets sorted out. Only, I make a mistake. Because while I’m focusing on the two-dimensional centerfold, her three-dimensional self knocks me on my ass. That billion-dollar scandal doesn’t hold a candle to the demolition the blue-eyed babe wreaks to my well-ordered, disciplined, successful life. Adrift is a steamy billionaire romance between an alpha arrogant male and the woman who challenges his world order. The standalone contemporary romance novel is the second in the Haven Island series, an island where people come to shelter at their life’s lowest points, right off the coast of North Carolina. See what readers are saying: Absolutely great storyline! This storyline is not like any other that I have read before. It kept me enthralled from start to finish. The characters are all beautifully written about and interact with each other so well that I almost hated to see the story end. The book has just about everything that a reader could ask for in a good read, laughter, heat, tears, passion, a great storyline, interesting characters, and a beautiful ending. - Donna G. Billionaire Fast Life to Slower Pace Island Life Loved books insight into different ways hard working people take care of themselves.
