DOWNLOAD EBOOKYou might chalk Matthew Gareson and Vince Valentino's lightning-fast relationship as a stereotype. It's an age-old trope after all--the one where the talented photographer falls for a hot model and they make their mark on the industry together. Or maybe the story is more scandalous, full of intrigue and backstabbing in the salacious world of fashion. Perhaps the story is nothing like you would expect, because you never expected to fall in love with Matthew and Vince as fast as they fell for each other. And maybe you deserve to get swept away too.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe explosive new collection by the celebrated author of Thirst and PEN/Faulkner Award finalist Pu-239 and Other Russian Fantasies, Coup de Foudre is the kind of groundbreaking work of literary invention Ken Kalfus's fans have come to expect. The book is anchored by the full text of the provocatively topical title novella that appeared in Harper's, a sometimes farcical, ultimately tragic story about the president of an international lending institution accused of sexually assaulting a housekeeper in a New York hotel. Recalling recent news events with irony and compassion, Kalfus skewers international political gridlock and the hypocrisies of acceptable sexual conduct. In "The Moment They Were Waiting For," a murderer on death row casts a spell granting the inhabitants of his city the foreknowledge of the dates they will die. In "v. The Large Hadron Collider," a judge distracted by the faint possibility of an adulterous affair must decide whether to throw out a nuisance lawsuit that raises the even fainter possibility that the entire Earth may be destroyed. "The Un-" is a nostalgic story of a young writer's struggles as he tries to surmount the colossal, heavily guarded wall that apparently separates writers who have been published from those who have not. Varying boldly in theme, setting, and tone, the stories in Coup de Foudre share Kalfus's distinctive humor and intellect, inextricably bound with high literary ambition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe acclaimed short story and novella collection by “a virtuoso of the dismal comedy of Soviet life”—and the basis for the HBO film PU-239 (The New York Times). Ken Kalfus traverses a century of Russian history in tales that range from hair-raising to comic to fabulous. The astonishing title story follows a doomed nuclear power plant worker as he attempts to hawk plutonium in Moscow’s black market. In “Budyonnovsk,” a young man hopes that the takeover of his town by Chechen rebels will somehow save his marriage. Set in the 1920s, “Birobidzhan” is the bittersweet story of a Jewish couple journeying to the Soviet Far East, where they intend to establish the modern world’s first Jewish state. The novella, “Peredelkino,” which closes the book, traces the fortunes of a 1960s literary apparatchik whose romantic intrigues inadvertently become political. In these and other stories, Kalfus captures the famously enigmatic Russian psyche. A PEN/Faulkner Award Finalist

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIl est déjà compliqué de trouver l’homme idéal. Mais quand une jeune femme -- c’est le cas de Jane Hayes--, est obsédée par un personnage de roman, ça devient encore plus difficile. Comme si ce n’était pas suffisant, la jeune New-Yorkaise est totalement, irrationnellement, follement amoureuse de l’acteur qui incarne son personnage fétiche, Mr Darcy, dans une populaire adaptation d’Orgueil et préjugés de Jane Austen. Résultat, sa vie amoureuse est proche du néant: aucun homme n’est à la hauteur! Quand une parente lui laisse en héritage un séjour de trois semaines à Pembroke Park, un manoir anglais où les clientes fortunées vivent dans la peau des héroïnes de Jane Austen, les fantasmes de Jane deviennent un peu trop réels. Cette expérience finira-t-elle par débarrasser la jeune femme de son obsession ou au contraire, basculera-t-elle totalement dans sa chimère? Et rencontrera-t-elle son Mr Darcy? «Adorable! Le meilleur hommage qu’une obsédée de Jane Austen comme moi ait jamais lu!» Stephenie Meyer, auteure de la saga Twilight.
