"A collection of brilliant wit, real heart, and electric humor.” ―Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday BlackA major debut, blazing with style and heart, that follows a Jamaican family striving for more in Miami, and introduces a generational storyteller.In the 1970s, Topper and Sanya flee to Miami as political violence consumes their native Kingston. But America, as the couple and their two children learn, is far from the promised land. The family pushes on first through Hurricane Andrew and later the 2008 recession, living in a house so cursed that the pet fish launches itself out of its own tank rather than stay. But even as things fall apart, the family remains motivated, often to its own detriment, by what their younger son, Trelawny, calls “the exquisite, racking compulsion to survive.”Masterfully constructed with heart and humor, the linked stories in Jonathan Escoffery’s If I Survive You centers on Trelawny as he struggles to carve out a place for himself. After a fight wi

From New York Times bestselling author and Thurber Prize finalist Sloane Crosley, Cult Classic is a twisted mystery on the metaphysics of modern love, memory, and mind control in the city. One night in Chinatown: Our heroine, Lola, is at a work reunion dinner with her former colleagues when she ducks out to buy cigarettes and runs into an ex-boyfriend. And then... another. And another. The city is suddenly awash with ghosts of heartbreaks past, and what would normally pass for a coincidence becomes something much stranger. The soon-to-be-married Lola must contend not only with the viability of her current relationship but the fact that both her best friend and her former boss, a magazine editor-turned-guru, might have an unhealthy, ahem, investment in the outcome. Memories of the past swirl and converge in mystical ways both comic and eerie, as Lola is forced to decide if she will buy in--to romance, and possibly also to a weird startup-slash-cult. Both suspenseful and delightfully fun

Humankind discovers intelligent life in an octopus species with its own language and culture, and sets off a high-stakes global competition to dominate the future.When Dr. Ha Nguyen―a pioneering marine biologist with a very specific, cephalopod-focused résumé―is offered the chance to travel to the remote Con Dao Archipelago to investigate a highly intelligent, dangerous octopus species, she doesn’t pause long enough to look at the fine print. She will be the only scientist to have access to these octopuses, who just may hold the key to extrahuman intelligence.DIANIMA―a transnational tech corporation best known for its groundbreaking work in artificial intelligence, including having developed the world’s first true android―has purchased the islands, evacuated their population, and sealed the archipelago off from the world. That android, along with a battle-tested security officer, will form the entirety of Nguyen’s team as she attempts to understand the octopuses’ sophisticated communic

Confined to an opulent Beverly Hills hotel during a raging wildfire, a young couple is caught in the escalating tension between the wealthy guests and the staff.Newlyweds Keith and Kit Collins can hardly believe their luck when the general manager of the iconic, opulent Pink Hotel invites them to come for a luxurious stay as a bid to hire Keith.
