"In this playfully complex novel of banter between master and servants, Russell Edson creates an allegorical narrative in which forbidden sexual desire meets rigid law and order"--From back cover.
In the last surviving human city, an ex-spy gets sucked into a dangerous quest that will take him beyond the city walls when a winged man turns up dead in his morgue in this innovative and original dystopian space adventure. Spearpoint, the last human city, is an enormous atmosphere-piercing spire. Clinging to its skin are the zones, a series of semi-autonomous city-states, each of which enjoys a different—and rigidly enforced—level of technology. Following an infiltration mission that went tragically wrong, Quillon has been living incognito, working as a pathologist in the district morgue. But when a near-dead angel drops onto his dissecting table, Quillon's world is wrenched apart one more time, for the angel is a winged posthuman from Spearpoint's Celestial Levels—and with the dying body comes bad news. If Quillon is to save his life, he must leave his home and journey into the cold and hostile lands beyond Spearpoint's base, starting an exile that will take him further than he could ever imagine. But there is far more at stake than just Quillon's own survival, for the limiting technologies of the zones are determined not by governments or police, but by the very nature of reality—and reality itself is showing worrying signs of instability . . .

A collection of short stories from celebrated author William Trevor in which he shines a light on the day-to-day life of Ireland and its citizens. From his debut collection, “The Day We Got Drunk on Cake,” published in 1968, to “Family Sins” (1990), William Trevor has crafted the short story to perfection, giving us brilliant and subtle stories full of the reversals, surprises, and shadowy truths we discover in life itself. To read this volume is not just to encounter an extraordinary literary stylist, but to understand life as surely as though we were looking through the eyes of his protagonists and—deeper still—into their hearts. William Trevor: The Collected Stories includes the tales from his seven previous books, as well as four stories that have never appeared in book form in America. They depict the comforts and frustrations of life in rural Ireland, the complexities of family relationships, and the elusive grace of love. They portray the almost invisible strands that bind people to each other as well as the chains that imprison them in solitary yearning.
In A Life Just Like Mine Dr. Donna D. Kincheloe connects significant life scenes from her childhood, high school, nursing school, and adulthood, to depict events that caused deep pain, while extracting nuggets of meaning and highlighting the positive take-aways along the way. Dr. Donna engages the audience with an open heart to stimulate emotional self-evaluation and thoughtfully showcase God’s abundant grace. She shares experiences blended with gems of wisdom, tears of sadness and humor, and subtle scenes of God’s interventions, with powerful transparency. Ultimately, Dr. Donna passes on her realization that the imperfect life God gave her, is the exact life that shaped her into who she is today – a compassionate, empathetic, respectful, God-loving nurse, mother, and wife. A fierce storyteller who uses her own experiences to help others transform their past pain into present peace.
A powerful and important book for fans of Mark Haddon, THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK and Jay Asher. How would you spend your birthday if you knew it would be your last? Eighteen-year-old Leonard Peacock knows exactly what he'll do. He'll say goodbye. Not to his mum - who he calls Linda because it annoys her - who's moved out and left him to fend for himself. Nor to his former best friend, whose torments have driven him to consider committing the unthinkable. But to his four friends: a Humphrey-Bogart-obsessed neighbour, a teenage violin virtuoso, a pastor's daughter and a teacher. Most of the time, Leonard believes he's weird and sad but these friends have made him think that maybe he's not. He wants to thank them, and say goodbye. In this riveting and heart-breaking book, acclaimed author Matthew Quick introduces Leonard Peacock, a hero as warm and endearing as he is troubled. And he shows how just a glimmer of hope can make the world of difference.
During the time of writing the book I wanted children to see how important it is to have a servants heart, also that there will be struggles we will encounter, but never give up and always follow the truth of your adventure. I want parents to get excited about how they can get involved in making it happen. The characters in this book are my pride and joy my children and grandchildren along with some of my family members. The book was really fun to write , but the message is a call to everyone . So my prayer is this, in reading this book to all children it will help you fine your servants heart. as you led them in finding theirs.
