  “Legendary . . . Bolaño has proven [that literature] can do anything.” —Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review“A supernova of creativity whose light is still arriving at our shores.” —Giles Harvey, The New YorkerOften called the “big bang” of Roberto Bolaño’s universe, Antwerp is his first novel—or the shattered remnants of one. Written when he was just twenty-seven years old, it was so intensely strange and solitary that he tucked it away for more than twenty years, certain that any publisher would slam the door in his face. It proceeds in hallucinatory sketches: a lonely highway, a desolate campground, a freshly abandoned hotel room; a tryst, an interrogation, a murder; and somewhere just out of reach, a young, feverish writer named Roberto Bolaño drifting in and out of view. A radical, sui generis effort by a burgeoning genius, Antwerp is an essential part of Bolaño’s oeuvre.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  Small World by William F. Nolan - What will happen when the alien ships strike Earth? And later? Who will survive? What will life be like in that latter-day jungle? William F. Nolan, well known in SF circles on the West Coast, returns with this grim story of the days and the nights of Lewis Stillman—survivor ... 
  In the waiting windless dark, Lewis Stillman pressed into the building-front shadows along Wilshire Boulevard. Breathing softly, the automatic poised and ready in his hand, he advanced with animal stealth toward Western, gliding over the night-cool concrete, past ravaged clothing shops, drug and ten-cent stores, their windows shattered, their doors ajar and swinging. The city of Los Angeles, painted in cold moonlight, was an immense graveyard; the tall white tombstone buildings thrust up from the silent pavement, shadow-carved and lonely. Overturned metal corpses of trucks, busses and automobiles littered the streets. 
  He paused under the wide marquee of the FOX WILTERN. Above his head, rows of splintered display bulbs gaped—sharp glass teeth in wooden jaws. Lewis Stillman felt as though they might drop at any moment to pierce his body. 
  Four more blocks to cover. His destination: a small corner delicatessen four blocks south of Wilshire, on Western. Tonight he intended bypassing the larger stores like Safeway or Thriftimart, with their available supplies of exotic foods; a smaller grocery was far more likely to have what he needed. He was finding it more and more difficult to locate basic food stuffs. In the big supermarkets only the more exotic and highly spiced canned and bottled goods remained—and he was sick of caviar and oysters!

  In an age of turmoil, when berserkers fall to the might of Rome, a new terror rises from the ashes of defeat … 
  Tyrfing is mine! Kings and chieftains will tremble at the coming of Hervor Angantysdottir! With my father’s sword, I’ll carry off the plunder of nations and win great honour for my name! 
  Such was my ignorance. 
  This blade has already cost me more than I can bear to speak of. I can’t even bring myself to draw it—not again. 
  Even if it means getting crushed by the Romans. 
  I find myself a prisoner in the camp of General Sarus—a commander as cunning as he ruthless. I surrendered hoping he’d see my worth as a Nordic Princess and a shieldmaiden of high renown. But to him, I’m just a savage. I get two choices. Baptism or slavery. 
  Loki. I’ll die before I accept the Christ-god. 
  But when we start marching north to contend with the Germanic Coalition, I start rethinking my decisions. Because if we meet who I think we will, my only hope of survival is Tyrfing—the blade that’s destroyed my family for generations. 
  I only wonder what it will take from me this time …
