  Suspended Sentences - Three...

  Patrick Modiano

  In this essential trilogy of novellas by the winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature, French author Patrick Modiano reaches back in time, opening the corridors of memory and exploring the mysteries to be encountered there. Each novella in the volume—Afterimage, Suspended Sentences, and Flowers of Ruin—represents a sterling example of the author's originality and appeal, while Mark Polizzotti's superb English-language translations capture not only Modiano's distinctive narrative voice but also the matchless grace and spare beauty of his prose. 
  Although originally published separately, Modiano's three novellas form a single, compelling whole, haunted by the same gauzy sense of place and characters. Modiano draws on his own experiences, blended with the real or invented stories of others, to present a dreamlike autobiography that is also the biography of a place. Orphaned children, mysterious parents, forgotten friends, enigmatic strangers—all appear in this three-part love song to a Paris that no longer exists. 
  Shadowed by the dark period of the Nazi Occupation, these novellas reveal Modiano's fascination with the lost, obscure, or mysterious: a young person's confusion over adult behavior; the repercussions of a chance encounter; the search for a missing father; the aftershock of a fatal affair. To read Modiano's trilogy is to enter his world of uncertainties and the almost accidental way in which people find their fates.

  The Castle

  Franz Kafka

  A man arrives in a snow-covered village, summoned by authorities he cannot see and cannot reach. 
  Above the town stands the Castle — distant, silent, and absolute. 
  K., a land surveyor by profession, believes he has been hired. Yet no one confirms his position. Letters contradict each other. Officials remain unreachable. Messages pass through endless intermediaries. The system is vast, opaque, and impenetrable. 
  In The Castle, Kafka crafts a haunting exploration of bureaucracy, alienation, and the human need for recognition in a world governed by invisible power. 
  As K. struggles to gain access to the Castle, he confronts a reality where logic collapses, authority is abstract, and belonging feels perpetually out of reach. 
  Atmospheric, unsettling, and profoundly philosophical, The Castle remains one of the most powerful and enigmatic works of modern literature — a timeless meditation on power, isolation, and the search for meaning.

  What do you do when your boyfriend begins acting strangely, and at the same time, you meet someone his total opposite? Do you start having second thoughts?
  Jesse Jamison must confront those very questions. After two years of living with his lover Dennis "Denny" Christopoulos, a charming flight attendant, the man starts taking on extra flights, making excuses for not coming home, and receiving private phone calls. During this time, Jesse also meets Nick Warden, a new neighbor. He immediately sees the contrasts between the two men and finds Nick attractive on so many levels. 
  Meanwhile, Denny has growing reservations about his relationship with Jesse, especially once a new man comes into his own life. Yet Denny isn't ready to give up the good thing he has going with Jesse since he isn't sure about the new man's intentions, or his own feelings. 
  Nick also struggles with his growing love for Jesse. While he would like nothing more than to claim Jesse for himself, his integrity prevents him from playing the home-wrecker. His hesitation to step in, however, nearly causes his undoing and a missed opportunity at love. 
  Each man has his own second thoughts. But who will act on them, and what will be the consequences?
