  Are You There

  Samantha Fain

  In Are You There, Indiana poet Samantha Fain refracts contemporary melancholia into iridescent lyricism. Fain delights in breaking rules, the serendipity of autocorrect incantations, testing how far, in space and time, a connection will travel, and where it ends—quoting sources including Schrödinger, Ask Jeeves and Kim Kardashian. In Fain's haunting poetics, grief, mania, pop culture, faith, quantum physics and digital relationships collide, alive with the spiky humour of brutal self-awareness, aglow with startling new language.
  
  "These poems are like Neosporin; they sting and they heal." Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Creator of Bojack Horseman.
  
  
  "The most lyrically provoking debut I've ever read. Samantha Fain articulates the complex contemporary manifestations of grief and desire, while still giving us possibility instead of foreclosure." C.T. Salazar, Headless John the Baptist Hitchhiking

  Three years ago, a scandal cost antiquarian book hunter James Winter everything that mattered to him: his job, his lover, and his self-respect. But now the rich and unscrupulous Mr. Stephanopoulos has a proposition. A previously unpublished Christmas book by Charles Dickens has turned up in the hands of an English chemistry professor by the name of Sedgwick Crisparkle. Mr. S. wants that book at any price -- and he needs James to get it for him. There's just one catch. James can't tell the nutty professor who the buyer is. 
  Actually, two catches because the nutty Professor Crisparkle turns out to be totally gorgeous -- and on the prowl. Faster than you can say "Old Saint Nick," James is mixing business with pleasure -- and in real danger of forgetting that this is just a holiday romance.

  'Rooms in Bombay are not big in size, but huge in heart. Manil Suri's memoir will make you want to hug your mother. Written in clean, direct prose and without sentimentality, it explores all the dimensions of the complicated bond between parent and child -- while also being laugh-out-loud funny. If you were born of a mother, read this book.' -- Suketu Mehta 
  'Written with a rare blend of compassion and honesty, Manil Suri's memoir dares to map the death of Bombay's most potent and seductive dream: the redevelopment of real estate. We watch with sick fascination as the lives of a dashing young man who wants to sing for Bollywood and his headstrong and practical wife implode into ill health, and we ache for their son who makes his escape to the US but must deal with his guilt. This is a Bombay story like few others.' -- Jerry Pinto 
  'A deeply affecting memoir in which the ""room"", like a prison of the mind, acquires the force of metaphor-a symbol of all that we must escape in order to be more truly ourselves, and all that we never quite can.' -- Aatish Taseer 
   
  'This room that has been my crucible, controlled and tormented and driven me-how much has it shaped my history, my current self?' 
  Author Manil Suri grows up in a large, crumbling flat in Bombay which his Hindu parents share with three Muslim families. Their single room is a refuge from the religious and territorial tensions ravaging the apartment. But it is also a prison that holds them captive -- one that makes Manil's playback-singer father drift towards alcoholism and his mother towards increasing isolation, while restraining Manil from exploring the dawning realization that he might be gay. 
  As the shared room shapes the consciousness of its residents, we find ourselves asking: Will Manil manage to break free from the flat and find the freedom to embrace his sexuality? Will his mother dare step beyond the threshold of an unfulfilling marriage to pursue deeper, riskier joys? 
  Set against the backdrop of a fast-transforming city, where the price of real estate keeps rising and neighbours conspire to take over any available space, A Room in Bombay is as much about a physical enclosure as it is about the human capacity to reach beyond through the sheer power of imagination. At its heart, this is a deeply moving memoir -- drawn from over 2,700 letters Manil wrote to his mother across three decades -- that bears testimony to the abiding, unbreakable bond tying mother and son.

  Sequel to Mortal Escape
  Ten years have passed since the devastating war between the surface-born and the mysterious beings from the underground, a conflict that shattered the world and left deep scars in its wake. Lennox grapples with the aftermath of a war that changed everything she once knew. After fleeing the city, unable to stand the political games and the bitter aftermath of a failed peace attempt, Lennox has chosen a life of solitude along the shorelines, far from the chaos of her past. 
  When disaster strikes again, this time threatening everything she's worked to rebuild, Lennox is forced to flee at the urging of her older sister Halen. As they race against time, the haunting memories of a war-torn world come rushing back, leaving Lennox wondering if safety is even possible in a world so broken. 
  In the midst of the turmoil, Lennox's past resurfaces in the form of Salem -- once a childhood friend, now a beautiful and captivating woman. The bond they shared in the past has only deepened, and now, an undeniable connection between them stirs, one that goes beyond friendship, into a realm neither of them has thought to explore before. But with their families' long-standing animosity and the ever-present threat of war looming over them, a love between them feels not only forbidden, but dangerous. 
  As they struggle to navigate their growing feelings amidst political strife, explosive battles, and ever-looming danger, can they escape the shadows of their past and find a future in a world determined to tear them apart?
