Quartet for the End of Time: A Novel
by Johanna SkibsrudA “cinematic . . . page-turner and a compassionate analysis of faith, memory, responsibility, and consequence.”—Molly Antopol, Fiction Writers Review Inspired by and structured around the chamber piece of the same title by the French composer Olivier Messiaen, Quartet for the End of Time is a mesmerizing story of four lives irrevocably linked in a single act of betrayal. The novel takes us on an unforgettable journey beginning during the 1930s Bonus Army riots, when World War I veteran Arthur Sinclair is falsely accused of conspiracy and then disappears. His absence will haunt his son, Douglas, as well as Alden and Sutton Kelly, the children of a powerful U.S. congressman, as they experience—each in different ways—the dynamic political social changes that took place leading up to and during World War II. From the New Deal projects through which Douglas, newly fatherless, makes his living to Sutton’s work as a journalist, to Alden’s life as a code breaker and a spy, each character is haunted by the past and is searching for love, hope, and redemption in a world torn apart by chaos and war. Through the lives of these characters, as well as those of their lovers, friends, and enemies, the novel transports us from the Siberian Expedition of World War I to the underground world of a Soviet spy in the 1920s and 1930s, to the occultist circle of P. D. Ouspensky and London during the Blitz, to the German prison camp where Messiaen originally composed and performed his famous Quartet for the End of Time.At every turn, this rich and ambitious novel tells some of the less well-known stories of twentieth-century history with epic scope and astonishing power, revealing at every turn the ways in which history and memory tend to follow us, and in which absence has a palpable presence.

Quatrefoil: A Modern Novel
by James BarrA MILESTONE IN GAY FICTIONPhillip Froelich is in trouble. The year is 1946, and he's traveling to Seattle where he will face a court martial for acting insubordinate to a lazy officer in the closing days of World War II. On the way to Seattle he meets Tim Danelaw, and soon the court martial is among the least of Phillip's concerns....So begins Quatrefoil, a novel originally published in 1950. It marked a milestone in gay writing, with two of the first non-stereotyped gay characters to appear in American fiction. For readers of the Fifties, it was a rare chance to counteract the negative imagery that surrounded them.Today, Quatrefoil ranks as a classic work of gay writing, a novel that is still as gripping and enjoyable as ever. It is of extra interest to the modern reader for the vivid picture it draws of what life was like for gay men in our recent but little-known past.

Que de lejos parecen moscas
by Kike FerrariLa revelación literaria argentina según The Wall Street Journal. Que de lejos parecen moscas es una novela negra explosiva que se ha convertido en un fenómeno de culto, por un escrito tan talentoso como inesperado. El señor Machi es el perfecto reflejo del éxito y del desprecio. Dueño de un pequeño imperio en Argentina, hizo su fortuna bajo la dictadura militar y luego la afianzó bajo los dos primeros gobiernos de la democracia casándose con una mujer de doble apellido, hija de un terrateniente. Lo que no le impide rodearse de bellas mujeres que obedecen a todos sus caprichos. Tiene un BMW, una colección de trescientas corbatas y diez millones de dólares en el banco. La cocaína y la «pastilla azul» le permiten distraerse de las quejas de su esposa por sus infidelidades y de las debilidades de sus hijos, tan distintos a él, pero sobre todo lo ayudan a ignorar a sus muchos enemigos, a quienes él considera insectos «que de lejos parecen moscas». Hasta que un día, encuentra un cadáver en el maletero de su BMW, atado con las esposas rosas de peluche que usa con sus amantes. Y entonces empieza otra historia. Con esta novela explosiva y original, Kike Ferrari llamó la atención de la prensa internacional y conquistó a algunos de los mejores editores del mundo. Un auténtico puñetazo en la mandíbula de todos los lectores. Críticas... «Kike Ferrari es tan de verdad que parece mentira. Tan honesto que parece un farsante. Escribe desde un sitio que ya no existe, con buen juego de piernas y pegada certera.»Carlos Zanón «Que de lejos parecen moscas es muy sólida, fluye perfectamente. Y además está escrita con esta idea de que la novela negra es la nueva novela social del siglo XX.»Paco Ignacio Taibo II «Sus textos se nutren de violencia y tragedia para conseguir transmitir esa extrema sensación que se advierte cuando las cosas no tienen solución. Un escritor a seguir.»Benito Garrido, Culturamas «Ferrari es un tipo que lleva las ideas por adentro y por afuera. No las esconde. No las mezquina. Nunca las niega. De hecho, se las tatúa en la piel, para evitar traicionarse en un descuido.»Carlos Salem «Leer a Kike Ferrari y escucharlo leer en vivo es presenciar un recital de rocanrol por su potencia narrativa y el lirismo crudo y duro de sus textos.»Leo Oyola «La novela, construida mediante saltos en el tiempo y llena de hombres de negocios repulsivos, mujeres acomodadas que prefieren unos cuernos a perder el dinero de sus maridos y matones sin remordimientos, es un ataque frontal a la actual democracia argentina.»Paula Corroto, Público
