Donovan didn't mean for this to happen. When he left his book on the counter, he didn't think he mom would read it—much less have a problem with it. It's just an adventure novel! ...Right? But before Donovan even has the chance to hear her point of view, his mom is calling other parents of his classmates. She's setting up meetings with the principal. She's trying to get the book removed from the district curriculum. Donovan doesn't really know if the two boys fall in love at the end or not—but he does know this: even if they do, the book shouldn't be banned from school. Interspersed with this thread, readers will experience

The outrageous inside story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car―from award-winning Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim HigginsElon Musk is among the most ambitious, controversial titans of Silicon Valley, but his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car. When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were mere novelties. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential. So they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, and cleaner than the competition. To accomplish this, Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, but buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove to be Tesla's worst enemy―his antics more than once taking the company he had largely funded at th

The uncannily prescient new work of fiction―"the great novel of the COVID-19 era" (Karen Russell)―from the National Book Award-nominated author of The Book of Aron.In a tiny settlement on the west coast of Greenland, eleven-year-old Aleq and his best friend, Malik, are frequent trespassers on a nearby mining site exposed to long-buried, now thawing, permafrost. What they pick up there and carry back to their settlement is more deadly than anyone could have imagined. Shepard’s harrowing and deeply moving story follows Aleq, one of the few survivors of the initial outbreak, through his identification as the likely index patient and his radical isolation. We also meet two Epidemic Intelligence Service investigators dispatched from the CDC. A spare and gripping pandemic novel that reads like a sequel to the coronavirus crisis, Phase Six reminds us of the crucial bonds that form in the midst of catastrophe. Written before the outbreak of COVID-19, it’s both a chamber piece of multiple intim

A profound and singular story about a young woman searching for her place in the world, from one of America’s most original voices―the irresistible story of one teenager’s reckoning with society at large and her search for a personal utopia.Bran’s Southern California upbringing is anything but traditional. After her mother joins a Buddhist colony, Bran is raised by her “common-law stepfather” on Bourdon Farms―a plant nursery that doubles as a cover for a biker gang. She spends her days tending plants, slogging through high school, and imagining what life could be if she had been born to a different family. And then she meets Peter, a beautiful, troubled, and charming train wreck of a college student from the East Coast, who launches his teaching career by initiating her into the world of literature and aesthetics. As the two begin a volatile and ostensibly doomed long-distance relationship, Bran searches for meaning in her own surroundings―attending disastrous dance recitals, house-sit

出版日:2022/05/17 作者:Stacey Swann  出版社:Alfred a Knopf Inc  裝訂:平裝
A big-hearted debut with technicolor characters, plenty of Texas swagger, and a powder keg of a plot in which marriages struggle, rivalries flare, and secrets explode, all with a clever wink toward classical mythology. A GOOD MORNING AMERICA Book Club Pick, now in paperback!The Briscoe family is once again the talk of their small town when March returns to East Texas two years after he was caught having an affair with his brother's wife. His mother, June, hardly welcomes him back with open arms. Her husband's own past affairs have made her tired of being the long-suffering spouse. Is it, perhaps, time for a change? Within days of March's arrival, someone is dead, marriages are upended, and even the strongest of alliances are shattered. In the end, the ties that hold them together might be exactly what drag them all down. An expansive tour de force, Olympus, Texas cleverly weaves elements of classical mythology into a thoroughly modern family saga, rich in drama and psychological comp

Sedating Elaine

出版日:2022/04/12 作者:Dawn Winter  出版社:Alfred a Knopf Inc  裝訂:平裝
An exuberant dark comedy about love, grief, sex, guilt, and one woman’s harebrained scheme to tranquilize her voraciously amorous girlfriend for a few days so that she might pay off her drug dealer, make soup, and finally get some peace and quiet.Frances was not looking for a relationship when she met Elaine in a bar. She was, in fact, looking to drown her sorrows in a pint or twelve and nurse a broken heart, shattered by the gorgeous, electric Adrienne. But somehow (it involved a steady stream of beer and weed, as things often did with Frances) Elaine ended up in Frances’s bed and never left. Now, faced with mounting pressure from her drug dealer, Dom (and his goon, Betty), Frances comes up with a terrible idea: She asks Elaine to move in with her for real. Unfortunately, this seemingly romantic overture makes Elaine even more sex-crazed and maniacal with love. Frances fears she may never escape the relationship, so, given no choice, she makes the obvious decision: She will sedate Ela

出版日:2022/04/05 作者:Haruki Murakami; 村上春樹  出版社:Alfred a Knopf Inc  裝訂:平裝
"Some novelists hold a mirror up to the world and some, like Haruki Murakami, use the mirror as a portal to a universe hidden beyond it." --The Wall Street JournalA mind-bending new collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed Haruki Murakami. The eight stories in this new book are all told in the first person by a classic Murakami narrator. From memories of youth, meditations on music, and an ardent love of baseball, to dreamlike scenarios and invented jazz albums, together these stories challenge the boundaries between our minds and the exterior world. Occasionally, a narrator may or may not be Murakami himself. Is it memoir or fiction? The reader decides. Philosophical and mysterious, the stories in First Person Singular all touch beautifully on love and solitude, childhood and memory. . . all with a signature Murakami twist.

出版日:2022/03/22 作者:Anne Tyler  出版社:Alfred a Knopf Inc  裝訂:平裝
From the beloved best-selling, Pulitzer Prize–winning author―a funny, joyful, brilliantly perceptive journey deep into one Baltimore family’s foibles, from a boyfriend with a red Chevy in the 1950s up to a longed-for reunion with a grandchild in our pandemic present.The Garretts take their first and last family vacation in the summer of 1959. They hardly ever leave home, but in some ways they have never been farther apart. Mercy has trouble resisting the siren call of her aspirations to be a painter, which means less time keeping house for her husband, Robin. Their teenage daughters, steady Alice and boy-crazy Lily, could not have less in common. Their youngest, David, is already intent on escaping his family’s orbit, for reasons none of them understand. Yet, as these lives advance across decades, the Garretts’ influences on one another ripple ineffably but unmistakably through each generation. Full of heartbreak and hilarity, French Braid is classic Anne Tyler: a stirring, uncannily i
