Book excerpt: Lunarbre, a lonely eighteenth-century Louisiana island, has been blessed with the gift of resurrection after death, bestowed by the lovely spirit, Lorelei. The islanders may live as they please, unable to remain dead, as long as they stay on the shore of her power. Yet the taste of eternal life has held all in repetition for years and begins to lose its flavour with a few of its citizens. Jackson Grimm, the doctor and undertaker, has fallen in love with Lorelei at the crossroads of death but is unable to fully be with her. William Moreau, captain of the island's militia, has grown cruel with the impatience of a stagnated life. Edith Moreau, wife of William, longs to save what is left of their relationship. And Cosette Giroux, the island's prostitute and drunk, is seen as a mockery of her ancestor, Lorelei, and has thus lost respect for herself. When a situation arises and islanders start perishing permanently, it's up to the four of them to discover what has occurred with Lorelei before death embraces them all.

The kind of book bound to save lives." —LitHub "A powerful narrative about identity and belonging." —Paste Magazine FOUR STARRED REVIEWS ★ "Timely and important." —Booklist, starred review ★ "Searing yet dryly funny." —The Bulletin, starred review ★ "Exceptional." —Shelf-Awareness, starred review ★ "Captivating." —School Library Journal, starred review The term "Apple" is a slur in Native communities across the country. It's for someone supposedly "red on the outside, white on the inside." In APPLE (SKIN TO THE CORE), Eric Gansworth tells his story, the story of his family—of Onondaga among Tuscaroras—of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. Eric shatters that slur and reclaims it in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking.

Download or read book Significant Objects written by Joshua Glenn and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 EXTRAORDINARY STORIES ABOUT ORDINARY THINGS SIGNIFICANT OBJECTS: A Literary and Economic Experiment Can a great story transform a worthless trinket into a significant object? The Significant Objects project set out to answer that question once and for all, by recruiting a highly impressive crew of creative writers to invent stories about an unimpressive menagerie of items rescued from thrift stores and yard sales. That secondhand flotsam definitely becomes more valuable: sold on eBay, objects originally picked up for a buck or so sold for thousands of dollars in total — making the project a sensation in the literary blogosphere along the way. But something else happened, too: The stories created were astonishing, a cavalcade of surprising responses to the challenge of manufacturing significance. Who would have believed that random junk could inspire so much imagination? The founders of the Significant Objects project, that’s who. This book collects 100 of the finest tales from this unprecedented creative experiment; you’ll never look at a thrift-store curiosity the same way again.
