Book Description
divIn Can Xue’s extraordinary book, we encounter a full assemblage of husbands, wives, and lovers. Entwined in complicated, often tortuous relationships, these characters step into each other’s fantasies, carrying on conversations that are “forever guessing games.” Their journeys reveal the deepest realms of human desire, figured in Can Xue’s vision of snakes and wasps, crows, cats, mice, earthquakes, and landslides. In dive bars and twisted city streets, on deserts and snowcapped mountains, the author creates an extreme world where every character “is driving death away with a singular performance.” Who is the last lover? The novel is bursting with vividly drawn characters. Among them are Joe, sales manager of a clothing company in an unnamed Western country, and his wife, Maria, who conducts mystical experiments with the household’s cats and rosebushes. Joe’s customer Reagan is having an affair with Ida, a worker at his rubber plantation, while clothing-store owner Vincent runs away from his wife in pursuit of a woman in black who disappears over and over again. By the novel’s end, we have accompanied these characters on a long march, a naive, helpless, and forsaken search for love, because there are just some things that can’t be stopped—or helped./DIV

Book Description
A richly imagined and stunningly inventive literary masterpiece of love, art, and betrayal, exploring the genesis of evil, the unforeseen consequences of love, and the ultimate unreliability of storytelling itself. Paris in the 1920s shimmers with excitement, dissipation, and freedom. It is a place of intoxicating ambition, passion, art, and discontent, where louche jazz venues like the Chameleon Club draw expats, artists, libertines, and parvenus looking to indulge their true selves. It is at the Chameleon where the striking Lou Villars, an extraordinary athlete and scandalous cross-dressing lesbian, finds refuge among the club’s loyal denizens, including the rising Hungarian photographer Gabor Tsenyi, the socialite and art patron Baroness Lily de Rossignol; and the caustic American writer Lionel Maine. As the years pass, their fortunes—and the world itself—evolve. Lou falls desperately in love and finds success as a race car driver. Gabor builds his reputation with startlingly vivid and imaginative photographs, including a haunting portrait of Lou and her lover, which will resonate through all their lives. As the exuberant twenties give way to darker times, Lou experiences another metamorphosis—sparked by tumultuous events—that will warp her earnest desire for love and approval into something far more.

Sure, he'd show up to his country's World Cup games, with a beer mug in hand, screaming South Korea at the top of his lungs, but he was basically a man's man. He had no use for the camaraderie of a hot, sweaty, dusty field, and he wondered why he couldn't look away from him now. "WoonEui, pass, pass, pass!" WoonEui's opponent tried to take advantage of his momentary hesitation, but it was his feint. With a teasing flick of his foot, WoonEui slipped past his opponent and drove straight to the left wing. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that his opponent's defensive position was empty. "Yes, WoonEui. That's it. You're there. Just go for it," JinSoo whispered to himself. His throat burned as a dry sob escaped him. WoonEui's foot lurched forward, and he kicked the ball hard, drawing everyone's eyes to the ball's clean trajectory. "...... is in!" "We can't believe this. WoonEui has done it again!" "Aaaah, free booze!" His teammates on the field hugged him and cheered him on, and it was time for JinSoo to see if he could try to talk to him. "WoonEui, here, here! Look here!" JinSoo was startled awake by a muffled shout coming from the seat next to him. He saw a group of girls with short, bobbed hair that looked like they could break if you slapped them, shouting WoonEui's name in excitement. WoonEui glanced over, and for a moment, JinSoo thought his intense gaze was on him, but he was mistaken. There was no way WoonEui was paying attention to someone like him when all those lovely girls were giggling right next to him. "....." He had a bad taste in his mouth. He wanted to drink. *** "Hehe, I'm here to get drunk again." "Are you back again?" JinSoo asked, eyeing the man suspiciously. "I had given you one last chance. I don't want to waste my rice wine on someone who can't control their eating habits. You said you were sorry and promised not to come back again." As the shop bell jingled, someone walked in, but there was no one to greet the visitor. The clerk, JinSoo seemed too busy dealing with a middle-aged homeless man, leaving the visitor unnoticed. Nevertheless, JinSoo managed to navigate through the chaotic store and grab a pack of soju and some snacks. "Give me one more time, oh give me one more time." "I'll call the cops. You better leave while you still can. And, by the way, you're hurting my business!" "Shit, " he said. "I have no money, but I have self-esteem. This young man, you should not live like this. You would be more like me." He then said to the young man. "Respect your elders, you disrespectful brat!'" "I felt sorry for you, asshole. I felt sorry for you once, and then you came back and said these bullshit ...... What an asshole!" Out of nowhere, a convenience store clerk shoved the homeless man out of the way. "Oh, no, this guy is going to run over people, " the homeless man whined, but the clerk snorted hard, as if he'd done that act a time or two before. JinSoo scratched his head at the deepening mess.

“One of my favorite authors.”—Colleen Hoover An insightful, delightful, instant #1 New York Times bestseller from the author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Oprah Daily ∙ Today ∙ Parade ∙ Marie Claire ∙ Bustle ∙ PopSugar ∙ Katie Couric Media ∙ Book Bub ∙ SheReads ∙ Medium ∙ The Washington Post ∙ and more! One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming... Nora Stephens' life is books—she’s read them all—and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute. If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as they are thrown together again and again—in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow—what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they’ve written about themselves.

The voice is just so honest and riveting and insightful about creativity and life." —Curtis Sittenfeld An extraordinary new novel of art, love, and ambition from Lily King, the New York Times bestselling author of Euphoria Following the breakout success of her critically acclaimed and award-winning novel Euphoria, Lily King returns with another instant New York Times bestseller: an unforgettable portrait of an artist as a young woman. Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she’s been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey’s fight to fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink. Writers & Lovers follows Casey—a smart and achingly vulnerable protagonist—in the last days of a long youth, a time when every element of her life comes to a crisis. Written with King’s trademark humor, heart, and intelligence, Writers & Lovers is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another.
