Ingen prins för Riley (Grimm var en Jävel #1)
by Anna KatmoreVarje gång någon öppnar en berättelse och läser de fyra magiska orden "Det var en gång" blir min mormor uppäten några timmar senare. Åh, det suger! Jag önskar att min saga hade en cool avslutning, som Asken och Belle får, tillsammans med ett slott och en prickig prins att gifta sig. Har du någon gång kysst en groda? De förvandlas inte till en groda. Tro mig jag har försökt. Sjutton grodor och nästan en vårtig padda - för ingenting. Vad jag får är Jack men tyvärr är han olämplig för ett romantiskt slut. Vargen saknar helt enkelt rätt egenskaper för det. Och uppenbarligen en krona. Eftersom alla vet att kärlek sker bara bland de kungliga i Sagolandet. Eftersom kunglighet inte bara regnar från himlen, kommer jag att bygga en prinsfälla imorgon och själv skriva mitt lyckliga slut Det kommer att vara så bra... *host* Hej, jag är vargen Jack - ja, om Riley får säga något här, så gör jag också. Och hon borde glömma bort den galna tanken om att rymma med en kunglig. Vi kommer inte att skriva om någonting. Om hon vill hångla med någon kan hon göra det med mig eller ingen. Åh, och...det kommer att bli bra.

The Ingenious Gentleman and Poet Federico Garcia Lorca Ascends to Hell
by Edith Grossman Carlos RojasIn Carlos Rojasâ TMs imaginative novel, the Spanish poet Federico GarcÃa Lorca, murdered by Francoist rebels in August 1936, finds himself in an inferno that somehow resembles Breughelâ TMs Tower of Babel. He sits alone in a small theater in this private hell, viewing scenes from his own life performed over and over and over. Unexpectedly, two doppelgängers appear, one a middle-aged Lorca, the other an irascible octogenarian self, and the poet faces a nightmarish confusion of alternative identities and destinies.Carlos Rojas uses a fantastic premiseâ "GarcÃa Lorca in hellâ "to reexamine the poetâ TMs life and speculate on alternatives to his tragic end. Rojas creates with a surrealistâ TMs eye and a moral philosopherâ TMs mind. He conjures a profoundly original world, and in so doing earns a place among such international peers as Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, Philip Roth, J. M. Coetzee, and José Saramago.

His skeletal body was found clad in a bright red spacesuit, hidden in a rocky grave. They didn't know who he was, how he got there, or what had killed him. All they knew was that his corpse was fifty thousand years old -- and that meant this man had somehow lived long before he ever could have existed.
