Synopsis

"Liminality" novella by Yena Marukeda. The four loyal friends embark on an autumn holiday to a deserted island. They stumble upon a relic of a radar bunker there, as a reminder of a glorious past; the island harbors a liminal zone that can evoke both anxiety and confusion. The readers will be immersed in an adventure filled with post-irony dialogues and death-defying stunts. But there's more than thrilling escapades; an intellectual storm looms, threatening to challenge the very fabric of reality when Eugenia's conceptual ideas manifest, leaving a sense of numbness in their wake. While Eugenia's friends yearn for peace, they find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of emotions and experiences. Together, they enjoyed the autumn season, cherishing their time on the remote island. But amidst the beauty and tranquility, a question lingers: What are they truly seeking? What do they hope to discover within an isolated paradise? As time passes, the autumn they shared become cherished treasures. They come to realize that it was the most memorable time of their lives, a time that shaped them in ways they never expected. A novella promises to be a captivating tale that explores friendship, self-discovery, and the transformative power of extraordinary experiences. It's always intriguing to discover talented writers who emerge from the shadows. The enigmatic nature of the author adds an extra layer of allure to literature work. Unluckily, that Yena has faced critical articles, but intermittently controversy can be a testament to the impact of their writing. It's through such challenges that the author's talent shines brighter. It's fascinating how the writer can transport us to a different world and captivate our imaginations.

Flight - A Novel

Lynn Steger Strong

""Arresting and powerful, Flight examines the possibility and pain of fierce love and hope in our time of looming existential threats.” — Lily King, New York Times bestselling author of Writers & Lovers  
""Suspenseful, dazzling and moving.” — Rumaan Alam, New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World Behind  
It’s December twenty-second and siblings Henry, Kate, and Martin have converged with their spouses on Henry’s house in upstate New York. This is the first Christmas the siblings are without their mother, the first not at their mother’s Florida house. Over the course of the next three days, old resentments and instabilities arise as the siblings, with a gaggle of children afoot, attempt to perform familiar rituals, while also trying to decide what to do with their mother’s house, their sole inheritance. As tensions rise, the whole group is forced to come together unexpectedly when a local mother and daughter need help.  
With the urgency and artfulness that cemented her previous novel Want as “a defining novel of our age” (Vulture), Strong once again turns her attention to the structural and systemic failings that are haunting Americans, but also to the ways in which family, friends, and strangers can support each other through the gaps. Flight is a novel of family, ambition, precarity, art, and desire, one that forms a powerful next step from a brilliant chronicler of our time.
