Sinopse

The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson begins with the act of a young slave girl exchanging her light-skinned child, fearing for its safety, for that of her master's. From this reversal of identities evolves a suspenseful murder mystery and courtroom drama. "The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson" is everything one would expect from a novel by Mark Twain. On the surface it is a witty and satirical tale but as one digs deeper a biting social commentary of racial inequality can be found.

    From the incomparable New York Times and New Yorker illustrator Tamara Shopsin, a debut novel about a NYC printer repair technician who comes of age alongside the Apple computer. 
     
     
     
    Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Lit Hub 
     
     
     
    LaserWriter II is a coming-of-age tale set in the legendary '90s indie NYC Mac repair shop TekServe—a voyage back in time to when the internet was new, when New York City was gritty, and when Apple made off-beat computers for weirdos. Our guide is Claire, a nineteen-year-old who barely speaks to her bohemian coworkers, but knows when it's time to snap on an antistatic bracelet. 
     
     
     
    Tamara Shopsin brings us a classically New York novel that couldn't feel more timely. Interweaving the history of digital technology with a tale both touchingly human and delightfully technical, Shopsin brings an idiosyncratic cast of characters to life with a light touch, a sharp eye, and an unmistakable voice. 
     
     
     
    Filled with pixelated philosophy and lots of printers, LaserWriter II is, at its heart, a parable about an apple.
