  In a bleak future where the real world has crumbled, most of humanity escapes into the OASIS—a vast virtual reality universe filled with endless worlds and possibilities. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of puzzles inspired by 1980s pop culture, promising his immense fortune to whoever can solve them. Wade Watts, a teenage gamer, becomes the unlikely hero in a race against powerful corporate enemies and fellow gunters, battling through digital landscapes where the line between reality and illusion begins to blur. Ready Player One is a high-stakes adventure packed with nostalgia, danger, and the quest for meaning in both real and virtual worlds.

  Since he first appeared on the American literary scene, Jerome Charyn has dazzled readers with his "blunt, brilliantly crafted prose" (Washington Post). Yet Charyn, a beloved comedic novelist, also possesses an extraordinary knowledge of Golden Age Hollywood, having taught film history both in the United States and France. 
   
   
   
  With Big Red, Charyn reimagines the life of one of America's most enduring icons, "Gilda" herself, Rita Hayworth, whose fiery red tresses and hypnotic dancing graced the silver screen over sixty times in her nearly forty-year career. The quintessential movie star of the 1940s, Hayworth has long been objectified as a sex symbol, pin-up girl, and so-called Love Goddess. Here Charyn, channeling the ghosts of a buried past, finally lifts the veils that have long enshrouded Hayworth, evoking her emotional complexity—her passions, her pain, and her inner turmoil. 
   
   
   
  Reanimating such classic films as Gilda and The Lady from Shanghai, Big Red is a bittersweet paean to Hollywood's Golden Age, a tender yet honest portrait of a time before blockbusters and film franchises—one that promises to consume both Hollywood cinephiles and neophytes alike. Lauded for his "polymorphous imagination" (Jonathan Lethem), Charyn once again has created one of the most inventive novels in recent American literature.

  Don't Take Your Guns to Town" A 1958 song by Johnny Cash I remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving home from work. When the song was over, I couldn't concentrate on the other songs that were playing on the radio. The words, "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" kept going over and over in my head. Now, years later, as I recall the song, "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" I was inspired to write this story.  
  Justifiable homicide. That's what they called it. Therefore, I only had to serve twenty years instead of the mandatory life sentence, for murder. The judge said I could have been hanged. I got out in seventeen years for good behavior. Now here I am on my way home, wondering if I still have a home, still have a wife. Do I still have a son? Did she wait, like she said she would in the few letters that I received? I wouldn't blame her if she didn't. Seventeen years is a long time to wait for a passionate woman like her. 
  The story of an Ex-Gunfighter just released after seventeen years in prison on his way home. The thoughts and memories that go through his head while traveling toward his home.

  Nineteen-year-old hockey phenom Alexander Price is the youngest-ever captain in the NHL. With a polarizing social media presence and a predilection for dirty play, he typifies the stereotype of young, out-of-control athlete. But away from the cameras, Alex is a kid with an anxiety disorder and the expectations of an expansion franchise on his shoulders. And maybe he tries too hard to fit the part of asshole playboy, but it's better than the alternative; in his line of work, gay is the punchline of an insult, not something he can be. 
   
   
   
  Eighteen-year-old vlogger Elijah Rodriguez is a freshman in college recovering from an injury that derailed his Olympic figure-skating dreams. Mixed-race, disabled, and out of the closet since he was fourteen, Eli is unapologetically himself. He has no qualms about voicing his disapproval of celebrity jocks who make homophobic jokes on Twitter and park their flashy cars in the handicapped spaces outside of ice rinks. 
   
   
   
  After an antagonistic introduction, Alex and Eli's inexplicable friendship both baffles and charms the internet. But navigating relationships is hard enough for normal teenagers. It's a lot harder when the world—much of it disapproving—is watching you fall in love with your best friend.
