  This novel of three young workingwomen in 1950s Manhattan is “a delight” (People).   For a small-town girl with big-city dreams, there is no address more glamorous than New York’s Barbizon Hotel. Laura, a patrician beauty from Smith, arrives to work at Mademoiselle for the summer. Her hopelessly romantic roommate, Dolly, comes from a working-class upstate town to attend secretarial school. And Vivian, a brash British bombshell with a disregard for the hotel’s rules, rounds out the trio of friends.   Together, the girls embark on a journey of discovery that will take them from the penthouse apartments of Park Avenue to the Beat scene of Greenwich Village to Atlantic City’s Steel Pier—and into the arms of very different men who will alter their lives forever.   “You’ll rip through this novel, inspired by Grace Kelly’s pre-princess Barbizon stay.” —Marie Claire   “A gem of a story.” —Laura Moriarty, author of The Chaperone   “Pour yourself a highball and settle in . . . a fun, frothy romp through time.” —Manhattan   “[A] deliciously stylish, retro first novel . . . A fast-moving, heartwrenching tale of romance and tragedy in a time of tyrannically sexist social conventions.” —Booklist   “The New York of the 1950s shines through Callahan’s pages. His characters’ breathless excitement with their new lives pulls you into that time and place, and his deft plotting holds you there.” —The New York Times Book Review

The consequences of the brutal crackdown by the authorities would set the directions of the lives of two children of the group's members, Yul and Jing. Despite the deep connection between them, Yul would open up an alteration shop in Seoul and Jing would move to Europe. But now, Cheolsu, a dissatisfied employee at a community theatre, is unearthing the truth about The Specters of Algeria and questioning whether the human situation is as absurd as the play asserts.

  Vic Kennedy is in one hell of a jam. Quick-witted and sharp-tongued with   Nicholas Cage’s maverick sense of adventure, Vic’s flown out of  trouble  by the skin of his teeth . . . and straight into the jaws of  disaster. He  chose the wrong side of a rebellion, and now the  French have bid him  adieu and the British have said off you go. It  seems the only place that  will have him is Greece. The problem with  that is, as soon as the  Greeks get him, they plan on giving him a real  send off-at the gallows. But  Vic has a better idea, plotting a  course for an oasis in the Sahara . .  . where things are looking up. A  gorgeous captive princess mistakes Vic  for a genie-The Sky Devil-and if  he gets his wish, well, this Sky Devil  will certainly have his day. If  he lives to see it. . . .In  1933, when L. Ron Hubbard began  his professional writing career, he  entered a crowded and competitive  field. But he very quickly separated  from the pack, making a name for  himself as a writer who was both good  and fast. So good and fast, in  fact, that in 1935 the three stories  included in this volume were all  published in the same issue of an  all-fiction magazine. Fully a quarter  of the issue had been written by  Hubbard-though readers didn’t know  it, two of the stories appearing  under two different pseudonyms. Also  includes the  adventures Buckley Plays a Hunch, in which an adventurer  seeks to solve  the mystery of three castaways who refuse to be rescued,  and Medals for  Mahoney, the story of man who journeys into the heart  of darkness to  thwart a murderous conspiracy.
