Pages : 159
Book Description
The stories in this collection are mostly fanciful and utterly devoid of logic. They are shamelessly concocted out of a blend of fact and fiction that defies everything except the necessity of having a free-wheeling imagination. Shakespeare, in a discovered letter, is revealed as being like a love-sick moose, groveling and pleading for an unnamed lady’s love. Is his love requited? It’s all in the letter. Vanessa Crispy, the Boundless Bride, gets involved with three men in the space of her one-hour wedding ceremony — and finds a way of resolving her problem. Or does she? In “Designing and Manufacturing.” an Englishman designs a better Rack during the last part of the 16th century. Along with getting rich, he feels he is helping society by ‘getting out the truth.’ Before reading “Toni,” it might be hard for many readers to guess who Toni was. The answer will come as an astounding revelation to avid followers of history. Hang on, everyone, for there are a lot more stories included here that are only slightly askew.

Nothing Special

Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORKER AND TIME From the author Sally Rooney called “bold, irreverent, and agonizingly funny,” a wildly original coming-of-age novel about a teenage girl working at Andy Warhol's Factory in 1960s New York. New York City, 1966. Seventeen-year-old Mae lives in a rundown apartment with her alcoholic mother and her mother's sometimes-boyfriend, Mikey. She is turned off by the petty girls at her high school, and the sleazy men she typically meets. When she drops out, she is presented with a job offer that will remake her world entirely: she is hired as a typist for the artist Andy Warhol. Warhol is composing an unconventional novel by recording the conversations and experiences of his many famous and alluring friends. Tasked with transcribing these tapes alongside several other girls, Mae quickly befriends Shelley and the two of them embark on a surreal adventure at the fringes of the countercultural movement. Going to parties together, exploring their womanhood and sexuality, this should be the most enlivening experience of Mae's life. But as she grows increasingly obsessed with the tapes and numb to her own reality, Mae must grapple with the thin line between art and voyeurism and determine how she can remain her own person as the tide of the sixties sweeps over her. For readers of Ottessa Moshfegh and Mary Gaitskill, this blistering, mordantly funny debut novel brilliantly interrogates the nature of friendship and independence and the construction of art and identity. Nothing Special is a whip-smart coming-of-age story that brings to life the experience of young girls in this iconic and turbulent American moment.

Book Description
You would think Petronella’s sixteenth birthday would be cause for celebration. After all, fashionable friends are arriving at her country estate near London, teas are being served, and her coming out party promises to be a resplendent affair. Everything is falling nicely into place, until, suddenly—it isn’t. For Petronella discovers that her guardian, Uncle Augustus T. Percival, has developed a most unVictorian compulsion: He must eat bugs. Worse still, because he is her guardian, Uncle Augustus is to attend her soiree and his current state will most definitely be an embarrassment. During the festivities, when Petronella would much rather be sharing pleasantries with handsome Lord James Sinclair (swoon), important guests are disappearing, kidnapping notes are appearing, many of the clues are insects, and Uncle Augustus is surreptitiously devouring evidence. It’s more than one sixteen-year-old girl should have to deal with. But, truth be told, there is far more yet to come . . .
