Sinopse

In "After a Shadow and Other Stories," T. S. Arthur explores the intricate interplay of morality, human frailty, and emotional depth in a collection of poignant tales. Characterized by a vivid narrative style and rich character development, Arthur delves into themes of social justice, personal redemption, and the challenges of 19th-century American life. This collection, steeped in the literary traditions of realism and domestic fiction, reflects the moralistic undertones prevalent in the era, inviting readers to ponder the consequences of vice and the redemptive power of virtue. T. S. Arthur, a prominent figure in the American literary landscape, was deeply influenced by the societal issues of his time, including temperance and moral reform. His extensive career as a writer included essays, novels, and stories that aimed to educate and elevate the moral standards of the public. Arthur's own experiences and observations of the struggles faced by the lower and middle classes in antebellum America significantly shaped his narrative voice, making this collection a reflection of both personal and societal complexities. Readers seeking a profound exploration of human nature and the ethical dilemmas that accompany it will find "After a Shadow and Other Stories" to be a compelling addition to their literary repertoire. Arthur's insight into the human condition remains relevant today, offering timeless lessons on empathy, tolerance, and the perpetual quest for a better self.

This powerful debut collection explores lives lived between worlds. Sylvester masterfully weaves together fiction, poetry, and nonfiction to give listeners a poignant though fractured view of her characters' lives, their loves, and their struggles. Told from the perspective of an urban Native, the work details a journey led by the nomadic band, the Covers. It is an experience meant to heal generational trauma and bring back into the light people who may otherwise be forgotten. At its heart, The Half-White Album is a healing ceremony of the author's own creation, a process grounded in music that celebrates what it is to be human and imperfect and to love imperfectly.

On Stewkey Blues: 'In his solid, grounded, entertaining collection of stories, DJ Taylor draws out the mythical qualities of East Anglia's terrain, urban or rural or somewhere marginal in between.' —Hilary Mantel
Most of the people in Poppyland are watching their lives begin to blur at the margins. From small-hours taxi offices, out-of-season holiday estates and flyblown market stalls, they sit observing an environment that seems to be moving steadily out of kilter, struggling to find agency, making compromises with a world that threatens to undermine them, and sometimes – but only sometimes – taking a decisive step that will change their destinies.
