But Clyde dies like countless others before him in a rain of fire and lead, and when he thinks it’s all over—and the curtain draws shut on his final act—he awakens in the strange land of Irgendwo. He quickly meets a gruff German Luftwaffe pilot from the Second World War and a pudgy British doughboy from the First. Together, they take Clyde into the heart of an ancient city ruled by a shadowy cult to settle him into his rigorous new existence.

Download or read book The Folded World written by Amity Gaige and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2011-03-29 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the critically acclaimed Sea Wife Praised for her exquisite prose and crystalline insights, Amity Gaige returns with The Folded World, the story of an idealistic young social worker drawn into the lives of his mentally ill clients. Charlie Shade was born into a quiet, prosperous life, but a sense of injustice dogs him. He feels destined to leave his life of “bread and laundry,” to work instead with people in crisis. On his way, he meets his kindred spirit in Alice, a soulful young woman, living helplessly by laws of childhood superstition. Charlie’s empathy with his clients—troubled souls like Hal, the high-school wrestling champion who undergoes a psychotic break, and Opal, the isolated young woman who claims “various philosophies have confused my life”—is both admirable and nearly fatal. An adoring husband and new father, Charlie risks his own cherished, private domestic world to help Hal, Opal, and others move beyond their haunted inner worlds into the larger world of love and connection. A collision of extraordinary characters, The Folded World addresses the universal dilemma of love, wherein giving to another can seem like “the death of the world of oneself.” With an unerring eye for both the joys and devastations of life, Amity Gaige once again reminds us of the pleasures and depths to be found in her fiction.

Rachelle is her right hand, but at her left is Avu who'd had some of Nati's water and was out like a light. Rachelle had been out for Ten Days when she'd made that mistake. That gave Nati time to be with Daki, Avu's boyfriend. Only, he wasn't alone either. Khu, !Xhu and a group of unknowns were in the equation. People who were under strict instruction to follow Nati's every order to the death, at least until Avu wakes up. But something has gone very wrong. She's made her first wrong turn and subsequently, Rachelle and Avu are out of the picture. Now Nati has to lead a group of strangers in a new environment so hostile, that it will take all Nati has, with all her abilities, to keep only herself alive. What of the ones Avu entrusted onto her?
