L'oubli de Gaston
by Guillermo Cabello Garcia Juan PedropabloGaston se réveille au Réel après avoir croisé le regard de Valeria. Il s’était oublié, mais à partir de ce regard, et après avoir failli mourir à cause de l’impact de cet instant qui l’exposa nu devant l’Éternité, il commence à refaire le chemin du Souvenir. Juan cherche, on ne peut pas dire qu’il sait ce qu’il cherche, mais nous pouvons témoigner de l’Espoir de Juan dans l’Art de Chercher. Valeria, pendant ce temps, regarde le monde et regarde Juan et Gaston. En elle cohabitent deux réalités. L’une, celle de tous les jours, avec un fiancé officiel et des amies et les choses habituelles d’une jeune femme de son âge. L’autre, qui est comme un souvenir, une rhapsodie bohème de cigales raconte le poète, ou une voix dans sa tête qui parfois l’indispose et d’autres fois la transporte vers la matière Essentielle de l’Âme. Une place étrange dans une ville banale, une tante aveugle et les fourmis. Et les chiens qui prennent la ville dans une Révolution de puces et d’odeur de chien. Un anniversaire et d’autres paradigmes de l’éphémère remis en question par cette histoire d’Amour Véritable, au-delà du Temps et de l’Espace.
The Loudness: A Novel
by Nick CourageHenry Long doesn’t have a heart. Since the Tragedies, he doesn’t have much: just an annoying low-watt buzz from his makeshift transplant, skinny arms, and a dusty library attic from which he charts the slow progress of reconstruction in the Green Zone, the last habitable neighborhood of his troubled coastal city. While his parents work on making the Green Zone independent from a federal government that appears to have abandoned them, Henry himself feels increasingly left on his own—that is, until he discovers a refugee artists’ colony called the Other Side. When the federales don’t take kindly to the Green Zone’s attempts at secession and kidnap Henry’s parents, Henry and his new renegade friends are forced from the colorful streets and underground rock clubs of the Other Side to an overcrowded capital city on the verge of collapse. As Henry uncovers more about the conflicting forces that run his corner of the world, he realizes that not everyone is who they seem to be—himself included. His artificial heart may turn out to be more of a blessing than a curse. In this stunning, fast-paced, and punk rock–like first middle grade novel by author Nick Courage, young readers will be propelled into another world where superheroes emerge from the unlikeliest people.

Louisiana
by Erna BrodberThis is the first American publication of Brodber's eagerly awaited third novel. In Louisiana: A Novel she explores her continuing fascination with the power of the past to live in the present. Here, Ella Townsend, a young African American anthropologist whose roots are Caribbean, researches Louisiana folk life and discovers not only the world of voodoo and carnival but also the mystical connection of the living and the dead. With her tape recorder she explores the rich heritage of Creole Louisiana, but Mammy, Ella's primary informant, dies during the project. Then from beyond the grave she continues to transmit messages. Although the academically minded Ella is dubious about the authenticity of the medium, gradually, as she confronts her prejudices, the tapes convey enriching mysteries about the past lives of Mammy and her friend Lowly. From this supernatural experience, Ella learns much about herself and her background. Louisiana celebrates the magico-religious culture of hoodoo, conjure, obeah, and myal. Like Brodber's previous works, Myal: A Novel and Jane and Louisa Will Soon Come Home, Louisiana reveals the author's fascinating gift of myth-making. The Louisiana of her title represents two places sharing the same name---the American state and Brodber's native parish in Jamaica. Through this blending of localities, Brodber shows how elements from the African diaspora are kept alive in the Creole culture of the Americas.

Love Among the Ruins: A Novel
by Robert ClarkA beautifully written story of love, idealism, and our recent history. Amid the crises of the summer of 1968, two teenagers become lovers. Emily is a good Catholic girl, for whom an incarnate God means joy and contentment in the life of the body. William is preoccupied, in a vague sort of way, with politics and the evils of the System. Together, impelled by physical passion and the idealistic notion that "all our life is some form of religion, and all our action some belief," they run away to create a new life in the wilderness. In their absence, their parents' predictable lives take an entirely different course, and America itself seems to lose its innocence, never to be quite the same again. Not since Alice McDermott's That Night or Scott Spencer's Endless Love has there been a novel that portrays with such immediacy and respect teenagers' first loveits intensity, finely calibrated moods, and worldly innocenceand the elusive nature of adult loveits passion and fragility, comforts and betrayals.
