Revolutions in Time
by Jonathan DunnThe author of this book donated a digital copy to Bookshare.org. Join us in thanking Jonathan Dunn for providing his accessible digital book to this community. The Revolutions of Time is a "timeless" philosophical thriller / science fiction novel. Its premise is this: Time flows in a circular motion, repeating itself in "seasons" that are much like a year on earth, similar time periods with the same general events. Because of these revolutions, the geological record shows not the immediate past, but the events of the last "season" or age, making the fossils and formations show what will happen rather than what has happened. Jehu is transported to the end of his age by the mysterious Lord of the Past, and finds himself caught in the middle of a society at war over how to divert the Big Bang that is foretold by their geologists. What follows is, as they say, history.

Revulsion: Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador
by Horacio Castellanos Moya Lee KleinThe 1997 novel that put Horacio Castellanos Moya on the map, now published for the first time in EnglishAn expatriate professor, Vega, returns from exile in Canada to El Salvador for his mother's funeral. A sensitive idealist and an aggrieved motor mouth, he sits at a bar with the author, Castellanos Moya, from five to seven in the evening, telling his tale and ranting against everything his country has to offer. Written in a single paragraph and alive with a fury as astringent as the wrath of Thomas Bernhard, Revulsion was first published in 1997 and earned its author death threats. Roberto Bolaño called Revulsion Castellanos Moya's darkest book and perhaps his best: "A parody of certain works by Bernhard and the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud."
