Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not Me is a remarkable debut novel that tells the dramatic and surprising stories of two men–father and son–through sixty years of uncertain memory, distorted history, and assumed identity. When Heshel Rosenheim, apparently suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, hands his son, Michael, a box of moldy old journals, an amazing adventure begins–one that takes the reader from the concentration camps of Poland to an improbable love story during the battle for Palestine, from a cancer ward in New Jersey to a hopeless marriage in San Francisco. The journals, which seem to tell the story of Heshel’s life, are so harrowing, so riveting, so passionate, and so perplexing that Michael becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about his father. As Michael struggles to come to grips with his father’s elusive past, a world of complex and disturbing possibilities opens up to him–a world in which an accomplice to genocide may have turned into a virtuous Jew and a young man cannot recall murdering the person he loves most; a world in which truth is fiction and fiction is truth and one man’s terrible–or triumphant–transformation calls history itself into question. Michael must then solve the biggest riddle of all: Who am I?Intense, vivid, funny, and entirely original, Not Me is an unsparing and unforgettable examination of faith, history, identity, and love.

Download or read book Clap for Me written by Paola Capó-Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Latinx Studies. Women's Studies. California Interest. "What you're reading is poetría plain and very simple," declares Paola Capó-García's CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME, a collection that revels in assured complication. Through montage and ever-startling switchbacks, CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME splices slapstick and dead seriousness, power poses and TV sex scenes, mystic contemplation and glitter shit, the self on a time-out and the self trotted out, and smack talk en inglés and shock and awe in Spanish, into one "lavish lengua," "making something out of everything, the All," making something totally its own. An unrelenting exercise in messiness and identity, Capó-García assures us, "It's not that I don't like this thing it's just that this other thing is way more tricked out." "'I've been having desires lately,' writes Paola Capó-García, 'and I don't know what to do with them.' But desires permeate the site of these poems that grow bawdy, perverse, delicious inside the body and spill out into gorgeous, gasping lines that switch and kick like a dancer moving across the page. There is a quickness, lithe and pleasurable, that invigorates this astonishing debut."--D.A. Powell "CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME is an exploration of the 'gaping pretty flushed holes' of meaning, as well as a meditation on the erotics/politics of technocapitalist embodiment, where the poet's flow is always also 'for consumption for dissemination for fandom.' Amid the lipsticks and throw pillows and LED lights, Capó-García finds an old-school blues ('I am losing my tongue in the service of poetry') rooted in equal parts indignation, mourning, longing, and a survivalist wit that asks us to channel our 'land-based rage' in the name of cleansing decolonial desires. Because who among us doesn't want to 'be straddled maybe while wearing leather pants and heels' and still unwrite the 'father figure' and the 'beauty skin regimen' in solidarity with the 'childless loveless houseless' practice of a radical écriture? The modernist in me would call this perhaps the most dynamically challenging prose-poem-bursts by an English-language Puerto Rican poet since 1920s William Carlos Williams, or else inSteintaneous punktuation or the making of hemispher(ot)ic) Américans--except that CLAP FOR ME demands its own hi-density coordinates: 'Esto no es poesía' and 'This fiction is HD.' There's nothing PC or G-rated about PCG's me-not-me textual unfolding; instead this self-unwriting has the carefully curated scattershot rigor of Bad Bunny's Instagram if its hashtag swirls were written by Leslie Scalapino. This jam deserves a slow-ass clap."--Urayoán Noel "CLAP FOR ME THAT'S NOT ME choreographs the plot-twisting costume-changing ad-riddled complexities of contemporary identity in genre-blurring acts of literary brilliance. It is a purity-pulverizing and deeply satisfying story-ish arc of postcolonial poetics and feminine intellectual backtalk within a 21st century configuration of empire. This collection is gut-wrenching, yummy, hilarious, and tender but importantly, never quite soothing."--Anna Joy Springer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Full of slow-burning intrigue, Strawser's second novel will appeal to fans of Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies and Jennifer Kitses' Small Hours." —Booklist *Book of the Month Club Selection An innocent night of fun takes a shocking turn in Not That I Could Tell, the next page-turner from Jessica Strawser, author of Almost Missed You. When a group of neighborhood women gathers, wine in hand, around a fire pit where their backyards meet one Saturday night, most of them are just ecstatic to have discovered that their baby monitors reach that far. It’s a rare kid-free night, and they’re giddy with it. They drink too much, and the conversation turns personal. By Monday morning, one of them is gone. Everyone knows something about everyone else in the quirky small Ohio town of Yellow Springs, but no one can make sense of the disappearance. Kristin was a sociable twin mom, college administrator, and doctor’s wife who didn’t seem all that bothered by her impending divorce—and the investigation turns up more questions than answers, with her husband, Paul, at the center. For her closest neighbor, Clara, the incident triggers memories she thought she’d put behind her—and when she’s unable to extract herself from the widening circle of scrutiny, her own suspicions quickly grow. But the neighborhood’s newest addition, Izzy, is determined not to jump to any conclusions—especially since she’s dealing with a crisis of her own. As the police investigation goes from a media circus to a cold case, the neighbors are forced to reexamine what’s going on behind their own closed doors—and to ask how well anyone really knows anyone else.
