  • The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

    The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

    The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes sixteen-year-old Genie's every waking thought. But when she discovers she's a celestial spirit who's powerful enough to bash through the gates of heaven with her fists, her perfectionist existence is shattered. Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness. Quentin nurtures Genie's outrageous transformation—sometimes gently, sometimes aggressively—as her sleepy suburb in the Bay Area comes under siege from hell-spawn. This epic YA debut draws from Chinese folklore, features a larger-than-life heroine, and perfectly balances the realities of Genie's grounded high school life with the absurd supernatural world she finds herself commanding.
  • The Dream

    The Dream

    Renowned for his nonfiction accounts of the historical events of which he was both an eyewitness and shaper, Churchill was also an occasional writer of fiction. This is one of his fictional works—a short story in which the ghost of his father, Randolph, pays him a visit. Churchill reveals to his father all the goings-on in the world since his death in 1985, leaving out one crucial detail—his own important part in determining the unfolding of these events.At once lyrical and nostalgic, The Dream is a fascinating foray into creative narration for Churchill—demonstrating a surprising weightiness of emotion and significance.

  • 她是他们的妻子

    她是他们的妻子

    《她是他们的妻子》一书的审美世界是由阳刚血性和阴柔温婉两条河流交汇而成的。作者对军事题材的独特的富于时代水准的崭新处理联系在一起,他是新派战争小说家中的中坚。他善于写战争,他出生红军家庭,他的父亲曾是一位红军战士,而他的母亲则是蒙族,他有一半蒙族血统,他的身体里流淌着好斗嗜血的天性。他的小说总是被一种莫名的悲壮苍凉的气息裹挟着,血性人物形象在他的小说中是一个基础性的审美元素。笔下人物的命运似乎不是操纵在历史的必然性的手中,也不是操纵在大自然的威猛之下,更不是掌握在现代理性精神和知识素养之中,而是支配在一种血性的人格之中。
