Book Description
In his first novel in more than a decade, award-winning author David Malouf reimagines the pivotal narrative of Homer’s Iliad—one of the most famous passages in all of literature. This is the story of the relationship between two grieving men at war: fierce Achilles, who has lost his beloved Patroclus in the siege of Troy; and woeful Priam, whose son Hector killed Patroclus and was in turn savaged by Achilles. A moving tale of suffering, sorrow, and redemption, Ransom is incandescent in its delicate and powerful lyricism and its unstated imperative that we imagine our lives in the glow of fellow feeling.

Book Description
Best selling author David Johnson returns with a blockbuster sequel to RANSOM'S LAW and Prequel to TUCKER'S WAY. Since the end of WWI, the Ransom family have endured more than their fair share of heartbreak and challenge. Roscoe and Willow have fought hard to build a new family, but life is about to become even harder. Junior Ransom gets lost while exploring a cave and fears he will die there. As Roscoe and Willow become frantic over his disappearance, their new child, Emily suddenly falls gravely ill. When Roscoe and the townsmen begin searching for Junior, tension and danger is heightened by the appearance of a fierce-looking vagrant, his wife, and his man-sized daughter, Tucker. Willow senses a threatening evil in the man and worries what malevolence he's done-and to whom.At the point Junior gives up hope of being found, a mentally-limited man named Solomon rescues him and takes him to his remote house where there are freshly dug graves in the back yard. Then Tucker, who has run away, shows up and reveals to Junior that her father murdered Solomon's parents. Roscoe and Willow's hearts waver between hope and despair and end up turning on each other in anger, which shreds the fabric of their marriage. Roscoe returns to his old ways of drinking, leaving Willow unprotected from the coming evil. Roscoe and Willow have braved many storms together but none like they face in RANSOM LOST. Will their love for each other be strong enough to survive?Johnson weaves together the pieces of this story into a heart-pounding drama that will make RANSOM LOST impossible to put down until the cataclysmic ending.

Book Description
The "breathtakingly brilliant" novel by the author of Infinite Jest (New York Times) is a deeply compelling and satisfying story, as hilarious and fearless and original as anything Wallace ever wrote. The agents at the IRS Regional Examination Center in Peoria, Illinois, appear ordinary enough to newly arrived trainee David Foster Wallace. But as he immerses himself in a routine so tedious and repetitive that new employees receive boredom-survival training, he learns of the extraordinary variety of personalities drawn to this strange calling. And he has arrived at a moment when forces within the IRS are plotting to eliminate even what little humanity and dignity the work still has. The Pale King remained unfinished at the time of David Foster Wallace's death, but it is a deeply compelling and satisfying novel, hilarious and fearless and as original as anything Wallace ever undertook. It grapples directly with ultimate questions -- questions of life's meaning and of the value of work and society -- through characters imagined with the interior force and generosity that were Wallace's unique gifts. Along the way it suggests a new idea of heroism and commands infinite respect for one of the most daring writers of our time. "The Pale King is by turns funny, shrewd, suspenseful, piercing, smart, terrifying, and rousing." --Laura Miller, Salon
