Now the only one she can turn to is her ex, Derek, the last person she wants to call. Wren is among the last locals standing, and the blight has finally come for her, too. Infected livestock and wild creatures staggered off into the woods by day-only to return at night, their eyes fogged white, leering from the trees. It began by consuming the crops, thick silver sludge bleeding from the earth. That’s when the Quicksilver blight first surfaced, poisoning the farms of Hollow’s End one by one. Tourists travel miles to marvel at its miracle crops, including the shimmering, iridescent wheat of Wren’s family’s farm. Wren owes everything she has to her hometown, Hollow’s End, a centuries-old, picture-perfect slice of America. For fans of Wilder Girls comes a nightmarish debut guaranteed to keep you up through the night, about an idyllic small town poisoned by its past, and one girl who must fight the strange disease that’s slowly claiming everyone she loves.

The reader gets the chance to experience the biblical story from her perspective, all while Naamah contends with womanhood, faith, and, ultimately, her place in the world-both old and new. Naamah is Noah’s wife, the matriarch of all future generations, and, most importantly, herself. Naamah finds her voice (and name) in Naamah, out now from Riverhead Books. But regardless of whether you’re a believer or not or somewhere in between, you probably don’t know much about Noah’s wife, mostly because we’re barely told anything about her-she isn’t even named in the New Testament. Even if you aren’t religious, like me, you know that there was a flood, an ark, and a dude named Noah who was spared to pile a bunch of animals on said ark, all because God decided to Ctrl-Alt-Delete humanity. Chances are you’re familiar with the story of the Great Flood from the Bible. Will he be able to resist her?

"One of the most trenchant and unsparing critics of punishment in America, Robert Ferguson moves in this impassioned new book from diagnosis to prescription. Robert Ferguson’s Metamorphosis, blending indignation with learning, logic, and cool writing, deserves high praise and urgent circulation."-Arnold Rampersad, Stanford University "Our appalling prison system guts all claims to American moral supremacy among nations. "This wise, searching, impassioned, and compassionate book could not be more timely, especially for its vision of the reforms urgently needed in order to make our broken system of punishment more humane."-Lawrence Buell, Harvard University The sexual interactions that Tish and Fonny have are a result of the racist pressures that the characters. But the most reoccurring context that sex is brought up in is race. The contexts in which is it brought up vary widely in the book. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche. Seeking to demonstrate the intimate connections among our public, political, and personal lives, these essays by Robert Cantwell explore the. In the novel If Beale Street Could Talk, by James Baldwin, sex is a topic that is discussed frequently. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions-affection, despair, and hope. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin’s story mixes the sweet and the sad. "One of the best books Baldwin has ever written-perhaps the best of all." - The Philadelphia Inquirer From one of the most important writers of the twentieth century comes a stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime-"a moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless" ( The New York Times Book Review). Not unlike Adam and Eve becoming aware of their nakedness in the Garden of Eden, the book’s Pip comes to learn shame, striving to improve his station after being humiliated for his modest background. Dickens’s heavy social conscience, character-driven scenes, and preposterous plotting are all deftly distilled. Traditionalists will balk at the show’s many departures from the novel-and, likely, at its blue-lit, try-hard edginess-but this energetic remix doesn’t betray the spirit of the original. In Knight’s retelling, Pip learns that few fortunes are made without preying on the misfortune of others. The British writer Steven Knight (the creator of “Peaky Blinders,” who also adapted “A Christmas Carol” for television, in 2019) casts gothic and colonial shadows over the beloved bildungsroman, which follows Pip, an orphan whose aspirations to become a gentleman are bankrolled by a mysterious benefactor. The six-part FX/BBC miniseries is a slice of Victoriana soaked in Red Bull which avows, too brashly at times, that it is no staid PBS affair. Dickens gets debauched by sex, drugs, and gunfire in a new adaptation of “Great Expectations,” streaming on Hulu. It was therefore very timely of Virago to re-issue five modern classics in hardback for the summer. Started The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, but within a few pages I knew it wasn't for me.
