Synopsis

Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons gathers sixteen phenomenal
writers of the Chinese language in their English debut: eight fiction
writers, six poets, and two essayists. Amongst these dazzling tellings,
the planets are being pulled closer to the earth; a treasured classical
fiction holds the secrets of the universe; shameful acts of urban
ennui are committed over- and underground; a couple navigates the
phantasmagoric border between life and death; the classrooms of the
eighties and nineties are fleetingly free.
Ranging from cityscapes to
mountain ranges, ancestral lands to parallel worlds, these authors
exhibit a panoramic vista of contemporary Chinese-language writing
at its most imaginative and incisive, balancing intellectual power with
lyrical enchantment to lend insight into a nation oscillating between
tradition and modernity, apocalyptic visions and pedestrian loves,
provocation and nostalgia, reality and dreamscapes.

    Chief of Police Nico Medrano tries to investigate the matter. His search for answers puts him on a collision course with an eighty-foot predator, long thought extinct. Violent and merciless, it has risen to the surface, and seeks to wreak havoc on the small island community. 
     
     
     
    Things only get worse for Nico after he discovers that a ruthless band of criminals, responsible for the deaths of two Miami cops, are lurking on the island. As the body count mounts, Nico is forced to simultaneously battle two separate monsters: Man and Meg.

    The critically acclaimed author of The Rib King returns with an eagerly anticipated collection of interlocking short stories including the title story written exclusively for this volume, that explore relationships between friends, family and strangers in a Black neighborhood over fifteen years 
    The twelve gripping tales In The Last Suspicious Holdout, the new story collection by award-winning author Ladee Hubbard, deftly chronicle poignant moments in the lives of an African American community located in a “sliver of southern suburbia.” Spanning from 1992 to 2007, the stories represent a period during which the Black middle-class expanded while stories of ""welfare Queens,"" ""crack babies,"" and ""super predators"" abounded in the media. In “False Cognates,” a formerly incarcerated attorney struggles with raising the tuition to keep his troubled son in an elite private school. In “There He Go,” a young girl whose mother moves constantly clings to a picture of the grandfather she doesn’t know but invents stories of his greatness. Characters spotlighted in one story reappear in another, providing a stunning testament to the enduring resilience of Black people as they navigate the “post-racial” period The Last Suspicious Holdout so vividly portrays.
