The Kafka Studies Department

Francis Levy

Sinossi

From Francis Levy, author of Seven Days in Rio, which The New York Times called "a fever dream of a novel," comes The Kafka Studies Department, a highly original collection of short, parable-like stories infused with dark humor, intellect, and insight about the human condition. While the book's style is deceptively simple and aphoristic, it carries a hallucinatory moral message. A prism of interconnected and intertwined tales, inspired by Kafka, the stories examine feckless central characters who are far from likable, but always recognizable and wildly human.

Not Just Gal Pals

Elizabeth Luly

Jenny Lynton never planned to be an influencer. It just sort of . . . happened. When an unfortunate post results in Jenny being "almost canceled," she extends her stay in her hometown, Sapphire Springs, New York, to wait out the storm. Jenny's agent suggests a fling with a flannel-wearing lumberjack might be just the thing to distract her. But after a string of disastrous dates, Jenny has sworn off flings. And lumberjacks are in short supply in Sapphire Springs. Lumberjanes, on the other hand . . . 
 
 
 
Blake Mitchell is Sapphire Spring's only doctor. She's also had a crush on Jenny since high school. A crush that makes her a socially awkward mess whenever she's around Jenny. Blake moved back home to avoid being hurt by another relationship—there's not exactly a lot of dating options for lesbians in Sapphire Springs—but Blake can't stop thinking about Jenny now she's back in town. 
 
 
 
When Jenny and Blake are forced to work together to save a friend's bachelorette party, sparks fly. But with Jenny's return to LA a ticking time-bomb, is it wise for them to explore their feelings for each other, or do they risk being hurt yet again?
