  What would you do if you found a rare magical animal? 
  Nico, who has just begun passing as a transgender man, relishes the quiet life working as a bonsai bodyguard. But during a chance encounter one night amidst the aftermath of a territory dispute, he meets Brant, an excitable, good-natured cookie guard, and the two strike an instant friendship. They form an irresistible bond with Gustopher, a baby gargoyle in need, setting off on a thrilling 3-day adventure to rescue the creature and reunite it with its rightful owner. 
  As they set out on their mission, the mismatched duo encounter predicaments unusual to new foster parents. Unscrupulous enemies lurk in the shadows, eager to exploit Gustopher on the black market. In order to ensure Gus's safety, Nico and Brant must quickly learn how to nurture (what do gargoyles eat, anyway?) and safeguard their newfound charge. Fortunately, their journey leads them to encounter Remi the vampire, an eccentric cheese guard from Wisconsin, and Jasper, a seasoned traveler, who faithfully accompanies the renowned Manley Cup, the cherished trophy of a championship hockey team. 
  Together, this peculiar quartet must combine their unique talents navigating both gargoyle-raising and crime-boss hunting. As they traverse the mountain metropolis of Multnomah, their hidden secrets gradually come to light, forging unbreakable bonds and solidifying their motley chosen family. And in the midst of it all, Gustopher surprises them with delightful…qualities, adding an extra dose of astonishment everywhere they go.

  Badan Chowdhurir Shok Sabha:...

  The story attempts a funny pot-shot at the polarization of two diametrically opposing political philosophies, namely, socialism and capitalism. The narrative of the plot, built around a humorous discord between these two seeming mutually exclusive but equally susceptible political tenets, is manifested in a verbal duel where each proponent lays bare the demerits of the opposing system.  
  The icing on the cake is the witty social contextualization of the plot by the legendary humorist - Rajshekhar Basu alias Parashuram or Parashurama or Parshuram, which helps expose the vulnerability and scope of corruption under either system with a tongue-in-cheek commentary suggesting possible atonement only under divine intervention in a purported afterlife. Wickedly funny dissection of our existential confusion regards our political consciousness; the story is food for thought for self-reflection in steering our life’s priorities.

  🐱 Whiskers is no ordinary cat. With a knack for being in the right place at the right time and an uncanny ability to read human behavior, this clever feline has a secret life as a crime-solver. When his owner, bookstore owner Lily Perkins, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a notorious literary critic, Whiskers takes matters into his own paws. The police see an open-and-shut case, but Whiskers knows Lily would never commit murder—her throwing arm isn't that good, for one thing. Using his feline talents for stealth, observation, and knocking things off shelves at crucial moments, Whiskers follows a trail of clues that only a cat could notice. From a suspiciously placed catnip toy to the way certain visitors scratch behind his ears (the murderer, he deduces, does it all wrong), every detail matters. But when the real killer realizes Whiskers is onto them, this feline sleuth will need all nine lives to solve the case and save his human.

  On her 30th birthday, Yale-educated Zoe Greene was supposed to be married to her high-school sweetheart, pregnant with their first baby, and practicing law in Chicago. Instead, she's planning an abortion and filing for divorce. Zoe wants to understand why her plans failed—and to move on, have sex, and date while there's still time. As she navigates dysfunctional penises, a paucity of grammatically sound online-dating profiles, and her paralyzing fear of aging alone, she also grapples with the pressure women feel to put others first. Ultimately, Zoe's family, friends, incomparable therapist, and diary of never-to-be-sent letters to her first loves, and the rock band U2, help her learn to let go—of society's constructs of female happiness, and of her own.
