  The Vegan

  Herschel Caine is a soon-to-be master of the universe. His hedge fund, built on the miracle of machine learning, is inches away from systematically extracting obscene profits from the market. His SoHo offices (shoes optional, therapy required) have been fine-tuned to reel in curious investors. 
   
   
   
  But on the night of May 12, at his elegant Cobble Hill townhouse, he has something else on his mind—the dinner party he and his wife have devised to woo their new A-list neighbors. When the evening fizzles, Herschel indulges in a devilish prank that goes horrifically awry, plunging him into a tailspin of guilt and regret. As Herschel's tightly constructed world starts to unravel, he clings to the moral clarity he finds in the last place he'd expect: a sudden connection with a neighborhood dog. 
   
   
   
  A wildly inventive, reality-bending trip, The Vegan holds a mirror up to its listener and poses a question only a hedge fund manager could ask: Is purity a convertible asset? The more Herschel disavows his original sin, and the more it threatens to be revealed, the more it becomes something else entirely—a way into a forgotten world of animals, nature, and life beyond words.

  In a dystopian near-future America, incarcerated people can opt into the Criminal Action Penal Entertainment program—a televised gladiator-style deathmatch where survival means a chance at freedom. Chain-Gang All-Stars follows Loretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker, two top contenders and lovers, as they battle through a system designed to exploit their pain for profit and spectacle. As Thurwar nears her potential release, the couple must navigate loyalty, resistance, and the violent machinery of a justice system turned bloodsport. Brutal, urgent, and unflinchingly human, the novel examines incarceration, systemic racism, and the commodification of Black bodies through a sharp, speculative lens.

  Mysterious Portrait The...

  Nikolai Gogol

  Nikolai Gogol was one of the first to use the technique of the grotesque. According to Viktor Shklovsky, Gogol's strange style of writing resembles the "ostranenie" technique of defamiliarization. His early works, such as Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, were influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing, Ukrainian culture and folklore.
  THE MYSTERIOUS PORTRAIT: Nowhere did so many people pause as before the little picture-shop in the Shtchukinui Dvor. This little shop contained, indeed, the most varied collection of curiosities. The pictures were chiefly oil-paintings covered with dark varnish, in frames of dingy yellow.
