Book excerpt: There is September 11 and then there are the days after, and finally the years. Falling Man is a magnificent, essential novel about the event that defines turn-of-the-century America. It begins in the smoke and ash of the burning towers and tracks the aftermath of this global tremor in the intimate lives of a few people. First there is Keith, walking out of the rubble into a life that he'd always imagined belonged to everyone but him. Then Lianne, his es-tranged wife, memory-haunted, trying to reconcile two versions of the same shadowy man. And their small son Justin, standing at the window, scanning the sky for more planes. These are lives choreographed by loss, grief and the enormous force of history. Brave and brilliant, Falling Man traces the way the events of September 11 have reconfigured our emotional landscape, our memory and our perception of the world. It is cathartic, beautiful, heartbreaking.

Book excerpt: With just one night and one stupid party, the trajectory of my future altered forever… Until my senior year, I had everything going for me: excellent grades, a supportive and loving family, not to mention the hottest boyfriend in school. Everything was perfect—until the arrival of Zach Anderson, a parkour loving, school skipping, bad boy delinquent that seemed to bring with him a lot of bad karma. It can’t be a coincidence that his arrival marks a significant change in my life, can it? Now, everything has changed. I no longer know who I can trust. And the threatening notes I’m receiving, well it appears those are just the start of my problems… Note: Free Falling is book two in the Best Friend series; however, it is a standalone novel with different characters so there is no requirement to read Always You first.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do twentieth and twenty-first century artists bring forth the powerful reality of death when it exists in memory and lived experience as something that happens only to others? Death in American Texts and Performances takes up this question to explore the modern and postmodern aesthetics of death. Working between and across genres, the contributors examine literary texts and performance media, including Robert Lowell's For the Union Dead, Luis Valdez' Dark Root of a Scream, Amiri Baraka's Dutchman, Thornton Wilder's Our Town, John Edgar Wideman's The Cattle Killing, Toni Morrison's Sula and Song of Solomon, Don DeLillo's White Noise and Falling Man, and HBO's Six Feet Under. As the contributors struggle to convey the artist's crisis of representation, they often locate the dilemma in the gap between artifice and nature, where loss is performed and where re-membering is sometimes literally reenacted through the bodily gesture. While artists confront the impossibility of total recovery or transformation, so must the contributors explore the gulf between real corpses and their literary or performative reconstructions. Ultimately, the volume shows both artist and critic grappling with the dilemma of showing how the aesthetics of death as absence is made meaningful in and by language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the grand master of Scandinavian crime fiction—and one of the best crime writers of our time—here is the final volume in the critically acclaimed Story of a Crime trilogy, centered on the assassination of Olof Palme in 1986. It’s August 2007, and Lars Martin Johansson, chief of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Sweden, is determined once again to reopen the dusty files on the unsolved murder of Prime Minister Palme. With his retirement quickly approaching, Johansson forms a new group, comprised of a few trustworthy detectives who doggedly wade through mountains of paperwork and pursue new leads in a case that has all but gone cold despite the open wound the assassination has left on the consciousness of Swedish society. But the closer the group gets to the truth, the more Johansson compromises the greater good for personal gain, becoming a pawn in the private vendetta of a shady political spin doctor. A detailed and boldly plotted police procedural, Free Falling, As If in a Dream lifts the veil on one of history’s greatest unsolved crimes, bringing dark humor, suspense, and wit to bear on a case long thought to have no answers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though they are on the steps of the doors to hell, I believe that the unsaved don’t want to know God. Everyone has a conscience, which gives an awareness of right and wrong. The Bible says that God has revealed Himself to each individual through their conscience. What more can God do to warn people? Many are aware of heaven and hell but somehow show no concern. The person who rejects God does not understand the real horrors of this Godless place. This may be because they don’t believe hell exists or they are convinced it would be tolerably better than heaven and nothing can be further from the truth. At this point, they are not preferring hell over God; they are blind to both. They do not perceive the true glories of God, neither do they perceive the true horrors of hell. When they die, they will be shocked beyond words. What sinners want is not hell but sin. The fact that hell is the inevitable consequence of unforgiven sin does not make the consequence desirable. It is truly not what people want — certainly not what they “want most.” Wanting sin is no more equal to wanting hell than wanting chocolate is equal to wanting obesity. However, consuming sin again and again with no regard for repentance will result to eternal damnation. Some want to believe that God would not send anyone to hell. It is a nice thought, but it is simply unbiblical. God certainly does send people to hell. In His justice, He does pass a sentence and executes it. Indeed, worse than that, God does not just send, He throws. Revelation 20:15 reads, “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (ESV). Hell is real. It is a place where many are going but few fully recognize the horrendous fate that awaits them there. It is essential that this truth is not lost but understood and shared.
