This reprinting of Korine's first novel presents fragments of a portrait in multimedia: print, photographs, drawings, news clippings, handwriting, a poem, attempted diagrams, clip art; but mostly text, including hard-luck stories, off-and-on-colour jokes, script-scraps, found letters, free rhymes, drug flashbacks and other scenes, exploring the world of show-biz with feet set lightly in the black humours of the real ol' world. This excretion of the danglers of public life would make William Burroughs sigh and turn the page, at least.

It's the skull-fucking you didn't know you needed. -Liberty Hardy, Book Riot THE CULT CLASSIC RETURNS WITH A NEW DEFINITIVE EDITION Robert Kloss's The Alligators of Abraham is a fever dream built from the fly strewn corpses of armies, the megalomania of generals, the madness of widows, the fires of mourning, the fury of the poor, the indifference of the wealthy, and the ravenous hissing of those alligators who have ever plagued the shores of our national nightmares. The Alligators of Abraham is a Civil War epic unlike any other. A novel as lyrical as it is precise in its depiction of the struggle to maintain dignity. -Adam Braver, author November 22, 1963 Robert Kloss's words gnaw into the collective dark underbelly unconsciousness of the 19th century which, in many ways, we've never entirely gotten over in America. -Rebecca Brown, author of American Romances

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In the acclaimed first novel from short story virtuoso and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kelly Link, three teenagers become pawns in a supernatural power struggle. “A dreamlike, profoundly beautiful novel [that] pushes our understanding of what a fantasy novel can be.”—Amal El-Mohtar, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “Imagine a ring of David Mitchell and Stephen King books dancing around a fire until something new, brave, and wonderful rose up from the flames.”—Isaac Fitzgerald, Today LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE The Book of Love showcases Kelly Link at the height of her powers, channeling potent magic and attuned to all varieties of love—from friendship to romance to abiding family ties—with her trademark compassion, wit, and literary derring-do. Readers will find joy (and a little terror) and an affirmation that love goes on, even when we cannot. Late one night, Laura, Daniel, and Mo find themselves beneath the fluorescent lights of a high school classroom, almost a year after disappearing from their hometown, the small seaside community of Lovesend, Massachusetts, having long been presumed dead. Which, in fact, they are. With them in the room is their previously unremarkable high school music teacher, who seems to know something about their disappearance—and what has brought them back again. Desperate to reclaim their lives, the three agree to the terms of the bargain their music teacher proposes. They will be given a series of magical tasks; while they undertake them, they may return to their families and friends, but they can tell no one where they’ve been. In the end, there will be winners and there will be losers. But their resurrection has attracted the notice of other supernatural figures, all with their own agendas. As Laura, Daniel, and Mo grapple with the pieces of the lives they left behind, and Laura’s sister, Susannah, attempts to reconcile what she remembers with what she fears, these mysterious others begin to arrive, engulfing their community in danger and chaos, and it becomes imperative that the teens solve the mystery of their deaths to avert a looming disaster. Welcome to Kelly Link’s incomparable Lovesend, where you’ll encounter love and loss, laughter and dread, magic and karaoke, and some really good pizza.

Fairytales aren't supposed to end this way . . . So begins Annabel's adventure into the ultimate mystery: herself. Life has taught her to be strong, to hide her feelings while denying the fragile essence of her femininity. But what happens when she falls in love and leaves everything in London behind to reside in the ancient capital of Vienna? And what happens when, only weeks after she arrives, a tragic death impels her to abandon both her beloved and her dreams? Out of darkness comes light. Delving into Vienna's painful Nazi past, Annabel discovers the startling insights of Austrian psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich. But it is a metaphysical reaction to an eye operation that ultimately propels her on a quest of self-discovery. Her dogmatic search to understand leads her to plumb Vienna's mysterious therapies, spirituality, and finally the little known world of sacred sexuality. This is a fascinating and thought-provoking journey into emotions, the psyche and energy that will radically change how you see yourself and the world. Behind The Extraordinary Ordinary's poetic and transcendent narrative is a powerful message: Only by accepting everything within us - the dark and the light - can we embrace others. And that is when true love begins.
