GENRE: SCI-DI / HORROR / SUSPENSE FICTION ![]() ![]() She's warned that she must not interact with or talk to anyone else about the building’s wealthy and famous inhabitants. ![]() She's informed that she is not allowed to have guests in the apartment. While interviewing for the job, she's asked about her health history. Jules soon gets the feeling that all is not as it seems at the Bartholomew, which is, of course, a perfect setup for some psychological suspense, but the problem is that there is little in the way of narrative tension because Jules’ situation is so obviously not right from the very beginning. Jules Larsen is getting over a breakup and the loss of her job when she finds a gig that seems too good to be true: The Bartholomew, a storied Manhattan building, wants to pay her thousands of dollars to simply occupy a vacant-and luxurious-apartment. Whether or not it does depends on how invested one is in formula for the sake of formula. This new novel is another attempt to make the model work. The author tried to do something similar with The Last Time I Lied (2018), with significantly less satisfying results. It was clever but also very well-crafted. Sager’s debut novel, Final Girls (2017), wasn’t so much a horror novel as a commentary about horror movies in novel form. ![]() ![]() Another homage to classic horror from a bestselling author. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the first new English translation of Multatuli's furious and funny masterpiece in more than fifty years"- … ( more) Based on the author's true experiences as an administrator in Java, Max Havelaar is a fiery indictment of colonial misrule and one of the masterpieces of Dutch literature. But his spirited young son Frits and romanticsouled German assistant Ernest Stern discover something much more astonishing: a scandal that strikes at the heart of the whole Dutch colonial enterprise. Drystubble pores over the documents in the hopes of lucrative revelations about the coffee trade. Why don't the financial statements add up? Did the previous assistant resident really die a natural death? And why are his superiors obstructing his efforts to learn the truth? A few years later in Amsterdam, the stolid Dutch coffee broker Batavus Drystubble obtains Havelaar's papers from the threadbare Shawlman, who wanders the streets in search of work. Some think him a fool, others a genius, but "one thing is certain: he was an unusual man, and worthy of observation." As Havelaar crusades against corruption, he makes a few unsettling observations of his own. The new assistant resident, Max Havelaar, arrives in the remote regency of Lebak, preceded by his reputation as a quixotic idealist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even seemingly straightforward spelling variations offer rich associations, such as when “our” becomes simply “r” or when “invagination” becomes “invagynation.” Throughout, readers are subject to a careful recalibration of values, as Charles shows that a form is not important because it is static but rather because of the ways it changes, moves, and is perceived. Acclaimed poet Jos Charles will read from her poetry collection feeld, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. But careful phrasing and simple forms studded with slashes draw the reader into the variety of possibilities these spelling choices offer, creating a surprising, if challenging, intimacy. As Charles writes, “i cant aford not 2/ nede / a mare.” The poems’ unusual spelling, a bravura pattern somewhere between Old English and modern phonetic, can be disorienting at first. ![]() This 2017 National Poetry Series winner is composed in an idiosyncratic orthography (“a tran lik all metall is a series of sirfase in folde / wee call manie of thees foldes identitie”) and loosely centered in a “feemale depositrie room.” The collection undoes easy divisions between interior and exterior or science and nature, such as when the estrogen from a mare’s urine becomes central to an ecosystem of gender transition usually thought of only in medical terms. ![]() Language, artifice, and gender transition all come under scrutiny in this disarming and engrossing second collection from Charles ( Safe Space). ![]() ![]() ![]() OL16342039W Page_number_confidence 90.07 Pages 294 Pdf_module_version 0.0.17 Ppi 300 Printer DYMO_LabelWriter_450_Turbo Republisher_date 20180228114512 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 536 Scandate 20180212150507 Scanner Scanningcenter hongkong Tts_version v1. ![]() Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 12:51:57 Bookplateleaf 0008 Boxid IA1165609 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set china External-identifier Caroline Abbey Have you heard this one An editor and an author walk into a wedding chapel and Contents Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5. ![]() |
