Truth Untruth (Unabridged)

Mahashweta Devi

A trenchant, darkly humorous, and unsentimental look at Calcutta society.

Set in Calcutta in the mid-1980s, Truth/Untruth is a fast-paced thriller built around the death of the pregnant Jamuna-a maid in a newly affluent residential apartment complex-and Arjun, the upwardly mobile businessman who seduced her. Packed with a cast of colorful characters, this novel is a trenchant, darkly humorous, and unsentimental look at the different segments of Calcutta society: from the middle-class culture vultures to the unscrupulous 'promoter' class and the domestic helpers and slum goons who form an intrinsic part of the city's life. All are implicated in a complex web of guilt and bizarre twists and turns. Sex, lies, death-the great modernist themes-run like a thread through this book, exposing societal greed, lust, corruption, and moral hypocrisy with a sardonic tone that spares none. An unusual novel by an author who is otherwise known for her hard-hitting activist-feminist stories, Truth/Untruth underlines the exploitative vicious cycle that defines urban relations between the haves and have-nots.

Richard - An Unlikely Love Store

Michael W Hickman

Richard Drumm might still look like a normal fifteen-year-old kid from Ohio, but over the last few months, he’s become much, much more. The heir apparent of a galaxy-spanning kingdom, he’s survived assassination attacks, been evolved by the energies of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and been given powers far beyond the abilities of other humans. 
But challenges lie ahead. For one thing, he can’t always control his powers, a development that is embarrassing at best and downright dangerous at worst—such as when he teleports places without knowing when or where it will happen. He’s also still the target of the devious Senator Spartacus, who will stop at nothing to prevent Richard from taking the throne. And his confrontation with the great nemesis looms on the horizon. 
Fortunately for Richard, his allies will do whatever it takes to keep him safe, including the foxlike Amber, the love of his life, his double, Henry, and the enigmatic synthetic lifeform AAL. Richard will soon find, however, that their efforts will cause him more trouble than he thought possible—both in his new home of Krel and back home on Earth. 
An Unlikely Love Story is the explosive second volume in the Richard series, a cosmic coming-of-age story that spans the galaxy.
