Sinossi

In "Men in War," Andreas Latzko delivers a poignant exploration of the human experience in warfare, deftly capturing the psychological turmoil and moral dilemmas faced by soldiers. The book is structured as a series of interconnected stories, showcasing Latzko's lyrical prose and acute observations of the physical and emotional scars left by conflict. Written during the aftermath of World War I, this work serves as a powerful commentary on the futility and destructive nature of war, aligning with the modernist literary context that sought to interrogate traditional narratives of heroism and valor. Andreas Latzko, an Austrian author and veteran of the Great War, draws from his own experiences to craft these narratives, reflecting both the disillusionment of a generation and the intimate struggles of those who serve. His background in history and his insights into the human condition enable him to create a profound sense of empathy for his characters, blending autobiographical elements with fiction to dissect the trauma of warfare and its lingering effects on the psyche. For readers seeking a profound meditation on the complexities of war and its impact on humanity, "Men in War" stands as an essential read. Latzko's insightful prose invites readers to contemplate the often-grim realities faced by soldiers, making this book not only a compelling literary work but also a vital historical reflection.

Anna B. Doe

Senior year can't come or end fast enough for Amelia Campbell. For the shy, nerdy girl-next-door that she is, high school is torture, and all she wants is for it to be over. Having her heart broken by a popular, womanizing boy all those years ago doesn't help matters. Nor does his best friend, who still has a habit of mercilessly teasing her. Now, she only has one year left, one year to be invisible before she can move on with her life. 
 
 
 
Derek King doesn't do drama, but his life is all about drama once Maximillian Sanders steps foot into his town, his school, and into Amelia's life. Max is always around, and he is making her smile again. But the boy who once broke her heart isn't ready to let her go. Older and wiser, Derek isn't about to let someone take away what he wants, and he wants Amelia. 
 
 
 
She's set on not believing in him, on not getting her heart broken once again. He is set on proving her wrong. 
 
 
 
She says she hates him, but maybe the line between past and present, love and hate is thinner than she ever realized.

Heaven - A Novel

Mieko Kawakami

“A raw, tender portrait of adolescent misery, reminiscent of Elena Ferrante’s fiction.” —NPR

From the bestselling author of Breasts and Eggs, a sharp and illuminating novel about the impact of violence and the power of solidarity.

Tormented by his peers because of his lazy eye, Kawakami’s protagonist suffers in silence. His only respite comes thanks to his friendship with a girl who is also the victim of relentless teasing. But what is the nature of a friendship if your shared bond is terror?

Unflinching yet tender, intimate and multi-layered, Heaven is yet another dazzling testament to Kawakami’s uncontainable talent.

“An argument in favor of meaning, of beauty, of life.” —The New York Times Book Review

“If you enjoyed Mieko Kawakami’s brilliant Breasts and Eggs, you’re certain to be astonished by her latest novel exploring violence and bullying with fierce, feminist and damning candor.” —Ms. Magazine

“This is the real magic of Heaven, which shows us how to think about morality as an ongoing, dramatic activity. It can be maddening and ruinous and isolating. But it can also be shared, enlivened . . . and momentarily redeemed through unheroic acts of solidarity.” —The New Yorker

“Quietly devastating.” —TIME Magazine

“Keen psychological insight, brilliant sensitivity, and compassionate understanding.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Raw and eloquent. . . . An unexpected classic.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Pago Pago Tango

John Enright

First in a Samoan-set series featuring police officer Apelu Soifua: "Enright's portrait of cultural collision is the heart of this engaging series debut." —Booklist

 


The city of Tafuna may be located on a tropical paradise, but it's no stranger to crime. Just like anywhere else in the world, it has its fair share of murder, drugs, and robbery. Which makes Apelu Soifua the perfect man for his job. He's a cop of two worlds: San Francisco, where he started his career, and now his native Samoa. 


 


Following up on a routine burglary call, Apelu heads to a palangi, or Caucasian, neighborhood. The victim, a VP at SeaKing Tuna—the largest employer on the island—reports only a few items missing. But a fatal shooting at a nightclub a few days later points Apelu to the executive's hard-partying daughter. With some help from local reporter Lupe, Apelu chases a wave of violence that stems from the burglary—and seeks out what really went missing. The investigation puts Apelu in over his head and is about to be dragged under . . . 


 

"Perfect for any armchair traveling mystery lover. Enright's descriptions of the Samoan landscape—where the frigate birds are as much a part of the sky as the clouds—are vivid and poetic." —Kittling: Books

 

"Enright meticulously interweaves the experience and landscapes of Samoa's mountains, rain forests and jungles that he knows so well." —Providence Journal

 

"The island setting is a terrific backdrop for the story, one that has Soifua bridging the cultural chasm between the local population and the American community." —Mysterious Reviews
