Anni Assassini
by Melody Ryan Silvia De CataldoNell'ottobre del 1968, la studentessa Denise Reid si addormenta una sera, proprio come ogni notte. Così fa, nell'ottobre 2012, Taylor Williams, anche lei di 17 anni. Al mattino scoprono di aver scambiato posto. Denise si sveglia nel 2012, nel corpo di Taylor. E Taylor ora occupa il corpo e il tempo di Denise. Ciascuna deve imparare ad affrontare un salto di quarantaquattro anni. E ciascuna parteciperà ad un discorso elettorale che si trova al centro del piano di un miliardario europeo per distruggere gli Stati Uniti. Il suo piano? L'assassinio nel 1968 del candidato presidenziale Richard Nixon e del presidente Obama, candidato alla rielezione, nel 2012. Solo Denise e Taylor si frappongono tra lui e la realizzazione del piano, ma come possono due ragazze fermare degli assassini armati? Per Denise, 2012 e telefoni cellulari, personal computer e la benzina a 6 $ a gallone provengono direttamente da un episodio de "I Pronipoti". Per Taylor, il 1968 sembra un museo che ha preso vita. Il telefono non funziona se non collegato al muro. Ci sono macchine per scrivere. E i vestiti sono castigati o eccessivamente bizzarri. Tuttavia, sono i suoi insegnanti che la inorridiscono maggiormente. Criticano gli Stati Uniti più degli hippy del suo tempo. Insegnanti! E gli studenti sono d'accordo! Ma non tutti. Presto incontra Andre, che scrive in un blog: The Voice of Young Black Republicans. Anche se non distingue un blog dal Wi-Fi, risponderà alle sue numerose domande. La porta a un riunione di conservatori. Non sa che una parte del gruppo, manipolata da un agente del miliardario europeo, progetta di interrompere il discorso del Presidente Obama con dei proiettili invece che con delle semplici proteste. Taylor non sopporta il fastidioso ragazzo di Denise, ma arriva a fare affidamento su un hippy di nome Georgie. Lui la aiuta a trovare un antico libro nella biblioteca che sarà in grado di rimandarla indietro

Annotations
by John Keene"Genius—brilliant, polished and of considerable depth." —Ishmael Reed An experimental first novel of poem-like compression, Annotations has a great deal to say about growing up Black in St. Louis. Reminiscent of Jean Toomer’s Cane, the book is in part a meditation on African-American autobiography. Keene explores questions of identity from many angles—from race to social class to sexuality (gay and straight). Employing all manner of textual play and rhythmic and rhetorical maneuvers, he (re)creates his life story as a jazz fugue-in-words.
