In the mist of a question humanity has been plagued with since birth - What happens after death? - we continue the walk across time sturdily. Confident and without pause, until blood leaks from crevices once unknown to anatomy itself. Then, we will look to the heavens, and a name will fall from our lips. Be wary, however. You never know who hears your dying breath. Gods may be rough on your destiny, but what lingers is hatred. Look up. Is there a bird watching you?

Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer’s assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He’s blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

A deeply moving meditation on memory, history, love, and art by the author of Dreams of My Russian Summers In The Life of an Unknown Man, Andreï Makine explores what truly matters in life through the prism of Russia's past and present. Shutov, a disenchanted writer, revisits St. Petersburg after twenty years of exile in Paris, hoping to recapture his youth. Instead, he meets Volsky, an old man who tells him his extraordinary story: of surviving the siege of Leningrad, the march on Berlin, and Stalin's purges, and of a transcendent love affair. Volsky's life is an inspiration to Shutov -- because for all that he suffered, he knew great happiness. This depth of feeling stands in sharp contrast to the empty lives Shutov encounters in the new Russia, and to his own life, that of just another unknown man . . .

Before Dan opened his door to find a wounded woman who had escaped from the tormentors in the mountain, his life had become rather quiet. He and the eight other people in the mostly abandoned town had become friends. They spent peaceful evenings around the campfire and even made vague plans to journey east one day and leave the ominous mountain behind. But the woman's arrival changes everything. Who is she? How does she know so much about Dan's brother, who is still held captive in the mountain? Why are long-forgotten memories rising to the surface? And why does Dan feel so compelled to keep her presence in his house a secret? Visionary writer Shawn Smucker is back with an unsettling story that invites us to consider two challenging questions: To what lengths will we go to assuage our own guilt? and Is there a limit to the things we will do for the people we love?

Ah, finally a reader. You don't know for how long I have been waiting for someone, anyone, to show up. Now that you are here, let's find a calm spot, perhaps turn on some music. Let's begin our little journey, shall we? Oh, you don't have to walk far. Don't you see those mountains over there already? The white peaks piercing the clouds, the ragged cliffs, and all those dark caves that dot them? Come, let us go, for behind those peaks, a kingdom, a whole world unlike everything you have ever seen. Wide deserts under a scorching sun, forests of constant twilight, or bustling cities. And even dragons. Well, one dragon at least, that has to suffice.
