Book excerpt: “Ravishing… as if Saavedra were a modern-day Borges.” —Luis Alberto Urrea, O, The Oprah Magazine A novel of dark obsession, missed connections, and violent love. Marcos has just been through a divorce and moved into a new apartment. He feels alienated from his ex-wife, from his daughter, from society; everything feels flat and fake to him. He begins to receive letters at his new address from an anonymous troubled woman who signs off as A. and who clearly believes she is writing to the former tenant, her ex-lover, in the aftermath of a violent heartbreak. Marcos falls under the spell of the manic, hypnotic missives and for the first time in years, something moves him. Blue Flowers alternates between the letters detailing the dissolution of A.'s relationship, and Marcos' growing fixation with this damaged person. The letters become a kind of exorcism as both A.'s epistolary affair and Marcos' personal life reach a crisis point. Possessed by A., he is driven to discover her true identity. Blue Flowers is a dark portrait of desire, undermining accepted truths about love and sex, violence and fear, men and women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlton was a thugged-out hustler that headed a mob of youngsters known as BDP (Boston Damn Projects) Crew. They were small time hustlers but notorious nonetheless and involved in everything from robbery, extortion, drugs, and murders. All the petty hustling stopped when Carlton hooked up with the largest cocaine dealer on the East Coast. Carlton had two problems: he was getting high on his own supply, and there was a rival drug dealer and vicious killer named Carlos (Dawg) who reigned over his crew of killers out of Piedmont Circle Projects. Latrice, who is Carltons lady, was innocent and unfamiliar to the life of hustlers out of the hood. She had been raised by her grandmother with Christian upbringing and was well educated and spiritually grounded. She enjoyed the money, gifts, and luxuries that came with being Carltons lady, but she had no street knowledge and was naive to the game. She was not mentally or physically strong enough to handle the chaos that was about to change her life forever. The Code of the Hood takes place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and is full of drama, suspense, and excitement.

Download or read book Michael De Feo Flowers written by Michael De Feo and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an art student in 1993, Michael De Feo drew a simple bloom that became a familiar and welcome presence in New York after he spent countless nights pasting hundreds of versions of it all over the city’s building walls. Twenty-five years later, these flowers have been sighted in more than 60 international cities. His street works took a new direction in 2015 when a guerrilla art collective provided him access to the cases that protect bus-shelter ads, enabling him to launch a beautiful campaign of his blossoms on top of fashion ads. His art has taken many forms, including a substantial body of studio work inspired by Dutch 17th-century paintings and another series which married floral themes with Pre-Raphaelite and Victorian portraiture. De Feo’s colorful and lively book reproduces more than 200 of his flower-inspired images and features commentary from a diverse group of people who have supported his often-clandestine work.
