Book excerpt: Her name is Bear. She is happy here in the Indian village she has chosen to call home even though to look at her you would see that she has white skin. At 15, she is the mate of Bright Feather and the people of The Maple Forest are her family. All she loves and holds dear are in this special garden walled around.

The greatest of all threats comes from the white world, a place that Bear was born into but chooses to reject.

Bear discovers, the hardest of choices that anyone must make has to do with those you love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction "Hearken ye fellow misfits, migrants, outcasts, squint-eyed bibliophiles, library-haunters and book stall-stalkers: Here is a novel for you."--Wall Street Journal "A tragicomic picaresque whose fervid logic and cerebral whimsy recall the work of Bola o and Borges." --New York Times Book Review Finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction * Longlisted for the PEN/Open Book Award * An Amazon Best Book of the Year * A Publishers Weekly Bestseller Named a Best Book by: Entertainment Weekly, Harper's Bazaar, Boston Globe, Fodor's, Fast Company, Refinery29, Nylon, Los Angeles Review of Books, Book Riot, The Millions, Electric Literature, Bitch, Hello Giggles, Literary Hub, Shondaland, Bustle, Brit & Co., Vol. 1 Brooklyn, Read It Forward, Entropy Magazine, Chicago Review of Books, iBooks and Publishers Weekly From an award-winning young author, a novel following a feisty heroine's quest to reclaim her past through the power of literature--even as she navigates the murkier mysteries of love. Zebra is the last in a line of anarchists, atheists, and autodidacts. When war came, her family didn't fight; they took refuge in books. Now alone and in exile, Zebra leaves New York for Barcelona, retracing the journey she and her father made from Iran to the United States years ago. Books are Zebra's only companions--until she meets Ludo. Their connection is magnetic; their time together fraught. Zebra overwhelms him with her complex literary theories, her concern with death, and her obsession with history. He thinks she's unhinged; she thinks he's pedantic. Neither are wrong; neither can let the other go. They push and pull their way across the Mediterranean, wondering with each turn if their love, or lust, can free Zebra from her past. An adventure tale, a love story, and a paean to the power of language and literature starring a heroine as quirky as Don Quixote, as introspective as Virginia Woolf, as whip-smart as Miranda July, and as spirited as Frances Ha, Call Me Zebra will establish Van der Vliet Oloomi as an author "on the verge of developing a whole new literature movement" (Bustle).

Book excerpt: She is Elle Graves. She is 14. She is a captive. She is alone. She is frightened. She is no better than a slave. But she is not a red savage. Her story is wrapped within the historical facts of the Cherokee Nation in the early 19th century at a time when they were at their best and ultimately driven to their worst. Elle experiences the worst of hatred and the best of love as she travels down her life path and strives to reconcile the two worlds that she knows; her white one that she can never escape and the red one that she has chosen to embrace. Elle discovers that family has nothing to do with blood. She learns that a life well lived involves difficult choices that transform you, making you not red, not white, but more closely pink. As she travels her life journey, which involves her head, her heart, and most importantly, her soul, she finds out that she was always a powerful woman even before she knew it.

Download or read book Call Me Giambattista written by John Ciaccia and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What draws a person to the political life? In Call Me Giambattista, John Ciaccia recounts his immigration to Canada from Italy as a small child in 1937 to his retirement from the National Assembly of Quebec in 1998. After studying at McGill University's Faculty of Law, practising in a Montreal law firm, and shifting gears to work as a federal civil servant, a phone call in 1973 from Premier Robert Bourassa launched Ciaccia's twenty-five-year career in Quebec politics. As a member federalist politician from an Italian background, Ciaccia faced many challenges. When first elected, he negotiated the James Bay Agreement with the Cree and the Inuit, and later, as Quebec's minister of Native Affairs, he was a key negotiator in the Oka crisis of 1990. Over the course of his career he held four cabinet posts, including International Affairs, and he ended his political career as the longest-serving member of the National Assembly. Ciaccia details all of these events and more, and explains his relationships with leading figures such as Robert Bourassa, Claude Ryan, Pierre Trudeau, René Lévesque, and Jacques Parizeau. Revealing his approach to politics, Ciaccia describes the lessons he learned from his career, and underscores the importance of acting according to one's convictions. An intriguing memoir of an Italian immigrant who came to hold key roles in the Quebec government, Call Me Giambattista tells the story of a political leader and the choices he made during a seminal period in Quebec history.

Book excerpt: An instalove short and steamy workplace romance NATE Inappropriate does not begin to describe the email my new assistant sent me. “I’ll be the one in the skimpy outfit” isn’t even the worst thing she wrote. I rack my brain for a rational explanation as to why she would proposition me, but I can’t find one. On what planet is sharing your fantasy with your new boss acceptable? Things only ratchet up to nuclear when it turns out she’s stunning, and has an effect on me I can’t explain. All I know for sure is that this whole thing spells trouble. And I certainly don’t need any more of that. The twisted burn scar on the inside of my arm is a reminder, as if I need one. I came all the way to San Francisco from Sydney to escape that kind of trouble. I will never let myself be burned by anyone again—literally or figuratively. And yet, everything about Elle screams that we were meant to meet. ELLE At 23, the last thing I thought I would be is the guardian to my fifteen-year-old sister, working three night jobs to make ends meet, prepping meals in a crockpot, and buying Ziplocs by the truckload. And yet, here I am. So, when I land an executive assistant job that pays twenty grand more than all those jobs put together, I’m not gonna do anything to screw it up. Too bad my sister doesn’t feel the same. She doesn’t want me missing the school drop offs, so she decides to write an email to my boss that makes him think I’m going to put the moves on him in some hot boss/secretary fantasy. She is so punished, but I’m mortified. Just when I think it couldn’t get any worse, it turns out I start having those steamy office affair fantasies all on my own. And what’s more, I’m pretty sure Nate is, too. With so much to lose, surely we can keep things professional. But when I see the way he fills out a shirt, I know I’ve got my work cut out for me.

Download or read book Kilonova Complex written by Brandon T Springer and published by Brandon T Springer. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Episode 1 is free forever. Or until the sun explodes. Whichever comes first. Centuries of disaster and warfare have transformed most of Earth's nations into authoritarian private prison colonies. Those not imprisoned barely scratch out a living illegally while governments focus on increasing their control over a malleable populace. The planet's biggest cities execute one death row inmate daily under the guise of crime prevention, and this new form of human sacrifice has taken on dimensions never before imagined. The spectacles are expensive and highly ritualized. The deaths are thought to literally feed the sun, but unbeknownst to Earth, the inmates are being saved from their fates. Long ago the corporations of the massive Kilonova Complex, orbiting Mars, discovered bodies in space suits floating toward the Sun. The corpses' trajectories always pointed back to Earth. But some of the bodies were still alive, and before long Kilonova Complex had developed a highly profitable slave trade. Today the prisoners from Earth are given a fresh start after proving their "gratitude" to the corporation that rescued them from death. Most slaves are sent to the gladiator rings or the brothels, where they toil for years, awaiting freedom. The economy is booming, but powerful forces are mobilizing for a war of expansion with Earth. They operate in secret, determined to make contact and to plunder what they can. Meanwhile separate cells of revolutionaries are gathering weapons and adherents for wars of their own. The coming battles will cause massive destabilization and change the lives of everyone on Kilonova Complex.
