Book Description
This modernist, experimental, and controversial novel examines gender politics in the lives of an American family. Lesbian poet, journalist, and illustrator Djuna Barnes’s debut novel was a sensation when it was originally published in 1928. A bawdy parody of patriarchal repression, the book was heavily censored upon its release in America. An exploration of sexuality that is thought to be based on Barnes’s own life, the novel depicts a family headed by polygamist Wendell Ryder through the eyes of his daughter, Julia. Employing a variety of literary styles, from parable, poetry, sentimental fiction, and drama, Barnes satirizes masculinity and femininity in one of modern literature’s first and best examinations of gender and power dynamics.

***This is the COMPLETE serial, parts 1 & 2.*** From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Cali MacKay... The last thing I expected was for Sadie to show up unexpectedly at my front door. A human on a mountain filled with lethal shifters—and she doesn’t have a clue that all the things that go bump in the night are actually real. Yet as I hold her tight in my arms, there’s no turning back for me as I realize that she’s not just the woman I’ve spent every night talking to for the last two months—she’s also my fated mate, even if Thayer, alpha of a nearby pack, wants her all to himself. Yet Sadie has secrets of her own, and she hasn’t simply come for a visit, but is on the run, hoping that if she just leaves Phoenix, she’ll also leave her problems behind. Except that her problem has a name, and he isn’t going to give up that easily. ***This 2-part serial is Ryder’s complete story, and ends with no cliffhanger and a HEA. ***

Thats when he determined enough is enough! He had no regrets as he saddled his paint stallion, Captain, and headed for Texas. He knew the risk involved as he traveled alone.

Book Description
This sweet and funny tale of a preppy literary editor buying a Brooklyn deli with his Korean in-laws is about family, class, culture clash, and the quest for authentic experiences in an increasingly unreal city. It starts with a simple gift, when Ben Ryder Howe's wife, the daughter of Korean immigrants, decides to repay her parents' self-sacrifice by buying them a store. Howe, an editor at the rarefied Paris Review, reluctantly agrees to go along. However, things soon become a lot more complicated. After the business struggles, Howe finds himself living in the basement of his in-laws' Staten Island home, commuting to the Paris Review offices in George Plimpton's Upper East Side townhouse by day, and heading to Brooklyn at night to slice cold cuts and peddle lottery tickets. The book follows the store's tumultuous lifespan, and along the way paints the portrait of an extremely unlikely partnership between characters across society, from the Brooklyn ghetto to Seoul to Puritan New England. Owning the deli becomes a transformative experience for everyone involved as they struggle to salvage the original gift — and the family — while sorting out issues of values, work and identity.
