Paperback. Condición: Good. It s as though you had to know the password for our relationship . . . What is love? Why do some people make our hearts flutter, while others leave us cold? A seductive blend of Maggie Nelson and Marguerite Duras, Trysting seizes romance s slippery truths by letting us glimpse nearly 300 beguiling relationships: scenes between all genders and sexualities, including first dates, infidelities, dependencies, missed connections, bitter memories, and first passions. Proving that the erotic knows no bounds, almost anything can be a means of attraction: from amnesia and throat-clearing to sign language, earplugs, back hair, arthritis, PVC, and showers. Combining aphorisms, anecdotes, and adventures, Trysting is a tour de force that gives a new perspective on a question as old as humanity.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. This isn't a night for theater. All the drama will be outside.In 1999, the Mauritian musician Joseph R ginald Topize, better known as Kaya, was arrested for smoking weed while performing at a concert. Following his death in police custody just days later, the island nation surged with violence in a long-overdue demand for justice from the colonized peoples of the East African island nation. In Kaya Days, the spirit of the island and its many people--Creole, Indian, French, British--is distilled into a young woman's daylong search through the uproar for her younger brother, who has gone missing. Amid burning cars and buildings, opportunists and revolutionaries, Santee rises into another world, a furious, brilliant one. An exhilarating journey into night from a small Hindu village to the big city, and from innocence into womanhood, Carl de Souza's surreal English-language debut, artfully translated from French by Jeffrey Zuckerman, is an explosion of politics and poetry, a humid dream-world of revolutionary fervor where seemingly anything--everything--is possible, if only in this night.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. "Kim Sagwa is South Korea's young, brilliant, fearless writer." -- Don Mee Choi, author of Hardly War "She doesn't know what to do, and that amounts to a state of torture." Crystal toils day and night to earn top grades at her cram school. She's also endlessly texting, shopping, drinking, vexing her boyfriends, cranking up her mp3s, and fantasizing about her next slice of cheesecake. Her non- stop frenzy never quite manages the one thing that might calm her down: opening up about the pressures that are driving her to the edge. She certainly hasn't talked with her best friend, Mina, nor Mina's brother, whom she's developing a serious crush on. And Crystal's starting to lose her grip. In this shocking English debut, award-winning Korean author Kim Sagwa delivers an astonishingly complex portrait of modern-day adolescence. With pitch-perfect dialogue and a precise eye for detail, Kim creates a piercingly real teen protagonist--at once powerful, vulnerable, and utterly confused. As one bad decision leads to another, this promising life spirals to a devastating climax. …

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. What if the only kind of love you understood was one that shattered taboos? What if your very first romance drowned you in a whirlpool of transgression? A coming-of-age novel that is minutely in tune with the hungers of its narrator's body, The Skin Is the Elastic Covering that Encases the Entire Body defies category. It follows a teenage boy named Bjorn who cuts into his flesh to find relief from his depressed mother and the sexual desires that frighten him. Bjorn begins a sadomasochistic affair with an older man that promises healing, but instead it only harms him further. In a spiraling, desperate search for understanding, Bjorn struggles through grief - and pushes his flesh to its limits. Called 'a feverish combination of stream of conscious, autobiography, collage, and narrative' by Entropy Mag, The Skin marks the arrival of a truly original literary voice. Reminiscent of Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts, it is as omnivorous as the bodies within it, as unrestrained as the appetites, terrors, and trysts that celebrated author Bjorn Rasmussen evokes in poetic detail. Deeply emotional, erotic, elegiac, and pansexual, it caresses the wounds we visit upon our body and soul in an attempt to serve the urges of our largest organ - the skin that covers and defines us.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Matea Silva is at a crossroads, but too paralyzed to change direction in a life that he no longer seems to control.

Paperback. Condición: Good. The narrator of Out of the Sugar Factory, Dorothee Elmiger, is a writer and archivist--and possibly a hoarder--of objects and stories that speak to the profound impact of the sugar industry on the world. Seated in the room where her immense collection sprawls across the floor, she obsessively connects a violent global industry to our unsettled present. In this innovative and meticulously researched novel, subjects as varied as the institutionalization of Ellen West, the Haitian Revolution, the films of Chantal Akerman, and Karl Marx's Capital come together to reveal a vast network of entrenched relationships. As Elmiger ventures deeper and deeper into her material, blurring the lines between author and her fictional counterpart all along the way, she travels from French communes to Swiss sanatoriums, from upstate New York to a strip mall in Philadelphia. Every realization becomes a site of excavation. The work of a scholar and fl neuse who eventually finds herself as entangled as her subjects, Out of the Sugar Factory, in Megan Ewing's matchless translation from German, is a prismatic account of a writer's overwhelming need to tell a true story, to follow the sugar wherever it may lead.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Best friends b and Rang are all each other have. Their parents are absent, their teachers avert their eyes when they walk by. Everyone else in town acts like they live in Seoul even though it's painfully obvious they don't. When Rang begins to be bullied horribly by the boys in baseball hats, b fends them off. But one day Rang unintentionally tells the whole class about b's dying sister and how her family is poor, and each of them finds herself desperately alone. The only place they can reclaim themselves, and perhaps each other, is beyond the part of town where lunatics live--the End. In a piercing, heartbreaking, and astonishingly honest voice, Kim Sagwa's b, Book, and Me walks the precipice between youth and adulthood, reminding us how perilous the edge can be.…
