Sinopse

Espacio vital —publicado originalmente como Elbow Room en 1977— es el epítome de lo que James Alan McPherson significó para la literatura de su tiempo, que es también el nuestro. Ser un escritor negro en los Estados Unidos marcó tanto la escritura de McPherson como la percepción que de él tuvo el mundillo literario que le tocó vivir, un mundillo en el que, a golpe de codazos, supo abrirse un espacio vital donde permitirse ser auténtico.
Los doce relatos que están recogidos en este volumen, con el que McPherson se convirtió en el primer autor afroamericano en recibir un premio Pulitzer en la categoría de ficción (en 1978), continúan apelando a un mundo extrañamente familiar de desigualdades e injusticias, de violencias e incomprensiones, pero también de lucha y reivindicación. Un ejemplo irrefutable de la destreza narrativa de McPherson, con un característico tono desenfadado que rebosa humor y que acerca las historias a la narrativa oral. Espacio vital sigue interpelándonos a pesar de los años transcurridos. McPherson, en su momento, asumió la responsabilidad de concebir estas inolvidables historias; nos corresponde ahora la responsabilidad de leerlas e intentar hacer del mundo que reflejan un lugar distinto y, si tenemos un poco de suerte, un lugar mejor.

    On a honeymoon two is company and three is a crowd. 
    Five is ridiculous. 
    After their wedding--and the Ice Dame's high-handed exploitation of the event--Triana and O'Neill embark on their honeymoon, only to find they’ve been booked on a CelebVid cruise to Armstrong with Vanti, Elodie, and Leo. 
    When the jump to Armstrong throws Triana and O'Neill into an alternate reality, they must outsmart the multi-verse versions of their friends, a lunatic professor and his corporate sponsor, and a cargo hold full of egg-throwing rodents if they hope to return to their own lives. 
    How will they do it? With spectacular, Space Janitor style, of course. 
    Come along for a Space Janitor twist on a classic alternate reality story. While you will likely enjoy this one without reading the rest of the series first, you'll have more fun if you get to know the characters in books 1 though 3. And even better if you've read the original Space Janitor series.

    Warning: Explicit Content. "The Hotwife Learns, Her Husband Squirms"Series. Denny Levine and his wife Laura are living it up to the hilt! As a top saleswoman for her company, Lincoln Security Systems, she has been awarded, along with four of her coworkers and their spouses, an all-expenses paid vacation to Bermuda!  
     
    And this isn't just any vacation. The company president, Andre Harding, has put them up in one of the most luxurious hotels on the island, and he's wining and dining them like royalty. On top of that, he announces over dinner that Laura, as the top seller of the entire company, is being promoted to director of sales! It sounds almost too good to be true. In fact, it is. 
     
    Andre Harding, they learn shortly afterward, is expecting something in return... Laura. In his bed. Tonight. And, smooth talker that he is, he eventually convinces Laura (and Denny) to go along with it! Not that it took very much smooth talking to convince Laura. Billionaire Andre Harding is just about as perfect a specimen of masculinity as you can get. This gorgeous, olive-skinned man is everything Denny is not--well-built, confident, masculine, and classy to a fault. Laura is so wowed by his invitation that she'll go along with anything. 
     
    Interestingly, Denny gives his consent as well. Something about the prospect of his wife going to bed with another man is stirring up more than just curiosity inside him. Indeed, he's as turned on by Andre's offer as Laura is! Of course, once zero-hour arrives and Laura heads upstairs to her boss' room, Denny finds his arousal suddenly compromised by a potent mixture of curiosity and jealousy that quickly starts to eat him up from the inside out.
