  “Extraordinary . . . [Bolaño’s] greatest work.”  —James Wood, The New York Times Book Review“A marvelous river of feeling, a brilliant meditation, an enthralling fantasy—By Night in Chile is the real thing, and the rarest: a contemporary novel destined to have a permanent place in world literature.” —Susan SontagThe book that catapulted Roberto Bolaño into international literary stardom, By Night in Chile is the final testimony of Sebastián Urrutia Lacroix—Chilean priest and member of Opus Dei, eminent literary critic and failed poet—as he is haunted by a shadowy figure from his past. In Urrutia’s feverish last hours, a deluge of memories pours from him: of hobnobbing with Santiago’s most unctuous literati; of undertaking a mission to save Europe’s decaying cathedrals from existential threat by pigeon excrement; of retreating into Greco-Roman poetry during the darkest chapter of modern Chilean history; of tutoring Augusto Pinochet in Marxist theory, so that the General may better understand his enemies. Throughout he insists, with fracturing conviction, that he was always on the right side of history. A novel about high art and fascism, silence and complicity, and, ultimately, the weight of damnation, Roberto Bolaño’s By Night in Chile is a deep-cutting satire and a work of devastating moral insight.With a new introduction by Nicole Krauss.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

  I Bring Fresh Flowers - The...

  Robert F. Young

  Rosemary Brooks has always believed in service. As a child she saluted flags from bedroom windows. As a young woman she volunteered wherever duty called. When Project Rain Dance opened the Astronette Training Center, she stepped forward without hesitation, driven by a faith that felt larger than her fragile frame. 
  Selected to pilot the first manned weather-control satellite, Rosemary becomes the face of a national dream. Cameras love her. Advertisers circle. The public sees a heroine in a white spacesuit and blue eyes that match the sky she is about to enter. Up there, she is tasked with orienting instruments that promise to tame rain and sun, to turn forecasts into certainty. She does her job. She makes her passes over oceans and continents. Then, during re-entry, something goes wrong. 
  The nation grieves. Project Rain Dance ends. Yet the spring that follows is unlike any other. Rains fall exactly where they are needed. Fields drink deeply. Cities are washed clean. Flowers bloom in wild profusion. Somewhere between orbit and earth, Rosemary’s mission takes on a meaning no one anticipated. The question that lingers is not what failed during re-entry, but what she may have set in motion before she fell. 
  Robert F. Young built a career on stories that fused quiet lyricism with speculative daring. His work appeared regularly in magazines such as Galaxy, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Amazing Stories, and Fantastic. He is perhaps best remembered for “The Dandelion Girl,” a time-crossed love story first published in 1961 that remains one of the most reprinted tales of its era. Across decades, Young returned again and again to the meeting point of wonder and human feeling. In “I Bring Fresh Flowers,” that meeting point takes place high above the earth—and then everywhere the rain falls.

  The Means - A Novel

  ""The Means is such a fast-paced, breezy comedic novel that you may find yourself surprised that Fusselman deftly and directly leads you to existential dilemmas and the absurdity of capitalism and striving for more."" – The Millions 
  Shelly Means, a stay-at-home mom and disgraced former PTA president, is poised to get the one thing in life she really wants: a beach house in the Hamptons. Surely, once she has her beach house, Shelly will at last feel at peace, in control, and content. It might be a very small house, and it might be in the least-fancy part of the Hamptons, but Shelly is hell-bent on achieving this idea of paradise.  
  But what should be a simple real estate transaction quickly goes awry as Shelly’s new neighbors disapprove of her proposed shipping container house at the same time that her spouse George’s lucrative work as a VoiceOver artist dries up. When George wants to cancel the beach house, Shelly goes deeper down the rabbit hole of capitalism: it’s an investment property! It's a community! It’s a place for their children to thrive! And, for a woman whose labor has buoyed her family for years, this beach house might just be Shelly’s last stand. 
  The debut novel from “one of our best interrogators of how we live now, and how we should live” (Dave Eggers), The Means is a comedy about the suffering inherent in desire, capitalist delusion, and the value of unpaid labor. 
  ""With its deadpan absurdity, pithy prose and moral je ne sais quoi, Fusselman's latest will appeal to fans of Marcy Dermansky....With its satire of the particular hypocrisy of the Hamptons, including homeowners associations, graft, and garbage and recycling practices, Maria Semple....We may be entering a golden age of the comic novel, surely one of the best possible outcomes of this desperate moment in history."" – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
