Delatora
by Joyce Carol OatesLa última novela de la gran escritora americana de nuestros días.Una historia vigorosa sobre la familia, sus expectativas y la ineludible necesidad de romper con ella. «La violencia del mundo de Oates es excesiva porque se parece mucho a la nuestra.»The New York Times «Una adelantada a su tiempo y una suerte de baluarte moral contra la intolerancia y el miedo.»Nuria Azancot, El Cultural ¿Qué debería prevalecer: la lealtad familiar o la lealtad a la verdad? ¿Alguna vez es un error decir la verdad, hay algún momento en que mentir a la familia esté justificado? ¿Se puede hacer lo correcto y que toda la vida nos lamentemos por ello? Delatora está protagonizada por Violet Rue Kerrigan, una joven que recuerda su vida después de que, con doce años, ofreciera su testimonio sobre el asesinato racista de un niño afroamericano por parte de sus hermanos mayores y la apartasen de su familia. En una sucesión de episodios recordados de un modo casi palpable, Violet analiza las circunstancias de su vida como la menor de siete hermanos, una niña en su momento querida, que inadvertidamente «delata» a sus hermanos, dando pie a su arresto, su condena y a su propio distanciamiento. Esta conmovedora novela dibuja una vida de destierro —destierro respecto a los padres, a los hermanos, a la Iglesia— que obliga a Violet a reconstruir su propia identidad, romper el poderoso embrujo de la familia. Un largo exilio como «delatora» para llegar a una vida transformada. La crítica ha dicho...«Entre los narradores contemporáneos estadounidenses [...], Oates es quien más claramente posee lo que Henry James llamaba “la imaginación para el desastre”, una facultad o fragilidad que confiere muy a menudo a sus personajes.»Leo Robson, The New Yorker «La escritura de Oates siempre ha parecido sencilla: urgente, temeraria, torrencial. Escribe como una mujer que se adentra en una región salvaje sin mirar atrás.»The New York Times Book Review «La prosa de Oates contiene una profunda crueldad que se cierne entre la esperanza, la desesperación y el amor.»The Guardian «Una maestra del diálogo afilado y de las descripciones vibrantes, Oates sigue siendo poderosamente fascinante.»People «Novelistas como John Updike, Philip Roth, Tom Wolfe y Norman Mailer han luchado a brazo partido por el título de Gran Novelista Americano. Pero quizás se equivocan. Puede que ese título pertenezca a una mujer.»The Herald «Esta novela de Oates aborda con inteligencia la raza, la lealtad, la misoginia y la desigualdad de clase, al tiempo que cuenta una historia conmovedora con una narradora de primera. Este libro va a gustar a sus fieles y ganarle más.»Publishers Weekly «Sexismo, violación y racismo; asesinato y sadismo: sus fans van a disfrutar con esta mezcla de las clásicas perversiones de Oates.»Mail on Sunday «Oates sigue cautivando con su terrible magia oscura.»The Washington Post «La escritora más sólida, ingeniosa, brillante, curiosa y creativa del momento.»Gillian Flynn «Estoy asombrada ante un hambre tan incontrolable por el trabajo literario.»Rose Tremain
Delaware; or, The Ruined Family. Vol.1,2 And 3: Or, The Ruined Family; A Tale Volume 2 - Primary Source Edition (Classics To Go)
by G.P.R. JamesExcerpt: "Not many years ago, as the writer of this work was returning on horseback to Castellamare, from a visit to the Lactarian Hills, he overtook, just under the chestnut trees on the slope, which every one who has visited that part of Italy must remember, two gentlemen with their guide, who were on their way home after some expedition of a kind similar to his own. As the indefinable something told him at once that they were Englishmen, he turned, as usual under such circumstances, to examine them more critically in passing, and in one of them recollected a person whom he had met more than once in London. He hesitated whether he should claim the acquaintance; as, when he had before seen him, the traveller had appeared to great disadvantage. A man of rank and fortune, flattered, caressed, single, and set at, he had borne a sort of sneering indifference on his countenance, which certainly did not recommend him to a person who neither sought his friendship nor feared his contempt. A few traits, indeed, had casually appeared, which seemed to betray a better spirit beneath this kind of supercilious exterior; but still the impression was unfavourable".

Delayed Penalty: A Pilots Hockey Novel (Pilots Hockey #1)
by Sophia HenryShe closed her heart long ago. He just wants to open her mind. For fans of Toni Aleo and Sawyer Bennett, the debut of Sophia Henry's red-hot Detroit Pilots series introduces a hockey team full of complicated men who fight for love. Auden Berezin is used to losing people: her father, her mother, her first love. Now, just when she believes those childhood wounds are finally healing, she loses something else: the soccer scholarship that was her ticket to college. Scrambling to earn tuition money, she's relieved to find a gig translating for a Russian minor-league hockey player--until she realizes that he's the same dangerously sexy jerk who propositioned her at the bar the night before. Equal parts muscle and scar tissue, Aleksandr Varenkov knows about trauma. Maybe that's what draws him to Auden. He also lost his family too young, and he channeled the pain into his passions: first hockey, then vodka and women. But all that seems to just melt away the instant he kisses Auden and feels a jolt of desire as sudden and surprising as a hard check on the ice. After everything she's been through, Auden can't bring herself to trust any man, let alone a hot-headed puck jockey with a bad reputation. Aleksandr just hopes she'll give him a chance--long enough to prove he's finally met the one who makes him want to change.Advance praise for Delayed Penalty "Delayed Penalty is sexy, fun, and full of angst. Not only does Aleksandr dominate the ice, but he fights for what he wants outside of the rink as well. I will definitely read it again!"--New York Times bestselling author L. P.

Everything I love about the New Adult genre is right here: a captivating premise, a fresh new setting, and a scorching hot hero who constantly keeps you guessing. The romance is off the charts and Sophia Henry tackles real issues that tug at your heartstrings."--New York Times bestselling author Rachel Harris"Hot Russian hockey player meets feisty tutor? Yes, please! I loved watching Aleksandr and Auden work through their broken pasts together. Delayed Penalty is a unique New Adult romance that packs an emotional punch."--Cindi Madsen, USA Today bestselling author of Getting Lucky Number Seven"Auden and her hot Russian hockey god, Aleksandr, really heat up the pages in Delayed Penalty--a touching story about growing up, moving forward, and ultimately finding love."--Renita Pizzitola, author of Just a Little Kiss"Henry's debut novel evokes the image of a culture characterized by a stoic exterior, only to reveal deep love as the characters dissolve their emotional walls from the inside out. [Readers] looking for heartfelt romance will feel the warmth emanating from this page-turner."--Library Journal
Delayed Rays of a Star: A Novel
by Amanda Lee KoeNamed a most anticipated book of the summer by ELLE, USA Today, Thrillist, Kirkus, and LitHubA dazzling debut novel following the lives of three groundbreaking women--Marlene Dietrich, Anna May Wong, and Leni Riefenstahl--cinema legends who lit up the twentieth centuryAt a chance encounter at a Berlin soirée in 1928, the photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captures three very different women together in one frame: up-and-coming German actress Marlene Dietrich, who would wend her way into Hollywood as one of its lasting icons; Anna May Wong, the world's first Chinese American star, playing for bit parts while dreaming of breaking away from her father's modest laundry; and Leni Riefenstahl, whose work as a director would first make her famous--then, infamous. From this curious point of intersection, Delayed Rays of a Star lets loose the trajectories of these women's lives. From Weimar Berlin to LA's Chinatown, from a seaside resort in East Germany to a luxury apartment on the Champs-Élysées, the different settings they inhabit are as richly textured as the roles they play: siren, muse, predator, or lover, each one a carefully calibrated performance. And in the orbit of each star live secondary players--a Chinese immigrant housemaid, a German soldier on leave from North Africa, a pompous Hollywood director--whose voices and viewpoints reveal the legacy each woman left in her own time, as well as in ours. Amanda Lee Koe's playful, wry prose guides the reader dexterously around murky questions of ego, persona, complicity, desire, and difference. Intimate and raw, Delayed Rays of a Star is a visceral depiction of womanhood--its particular hungers, its calculations, and its eventual betrayals--and announces a bold new literary voice.

DelCorso's Gallery

When he is called back to Vietnam on assignment during a North Vietnamese attempt to take Saigon, he is faced with a defining choice: should he honor the commitment he has made to his wife not to place himself in any more danger for the sake of his career, or follow his ambition back to the war-torn land that still haunts his dreams? What follows is a riveting story of war on two fronts, Saigon and Beirut, that will test DelCorso's faith not only in himself, but in the nobler instincts of men.

The Deleted World
by Tomas TranstromerTomas Tranströmer -- the recipient of the 2011 Nobel Prize in Literature -- can be clearly recognized not just as Sweden's most important poet, but as a writer of international stature whose work speaks to us now with undiminished clarity and resonance. Long celebrated as a master of the arresting, suggestive image, Tranströmer is a poet of the liminal: his verse is drawn again and again to thresholds of light and of water, the boundaries between man and nature, wakefulness and dream. A deeply spiritual but secular writer, his skepticism about humanity is continually challenged by the implacable renewing power of the natural world. His poems are epiphanies rooted in experience: spare, luminous meditations that his extraordinary images split open -- exposing something sudden, mysterious, and unforgettable. Brilliantly translated by renowned Scottish poet Robin Robertson, the work collected in The Deleted World span the breadth of Tranströmer’s career and provide a perfect introduction to the work of one of the world’s greatest living poets.
