Sappho's Leap: A Novel
by Erica JongThe #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Fear of Flying brings the seductive Greek poet to life in this &“enormously entertaining&” tale (Booklist). As she stands poised at the edge of a precipice in the shadow of the sanctuary of Apollo, the greatest love poet who ever was or ever will be recalls the eventful fifty years that have led her to this moment. It was love that seduced her, at age sixteen, into an ill-fated plot with the poet Alcaeus to depose the despot of the island of Lesbos. It was love that made her trade the unwanted marriage bed of an old, despised, and drunken husband for a seemingly endless series of lovers, both male and female. For Sappho, life has always been a banquet to be savored to the fullest, a strange and sensual odyssey that has carried her to the far corners of the ancient world. Devoted to the goddess Aphrodite and granted the gift of immortal song, she has followed her magnificent destiny from Delphi to Egypt, to the land of the Amazons, the realm of the centaurs, and into the stygian depths of Hades itself, often in the company of her companion and friend, the fabulist slave Aesop. Through every grand affair and every wild adventure, she has remained forever true to her heart, her passion, and herself, right up to this, the end of everything. Combining evocative and realistic detail with unabashedly outrageous invention, Erica Jong&’s Sappho&’s Leap is a flawless gem of historical fiction boldly imagined by one of America&’s most enthralling storytellers. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erica Jong including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author&’s personal collection.

Sarah intenta salvar el mundo
by Irma Pérez González Noah PorterToda la tierra está consumida. Un humo acre forma nubes en todos los rincones del planeta. Hay casas diezmadas, niños que gritan, mujeres que lloran y una devastación masiva. Los muertos caminan sobre la tierra y cada día que pasa los vivos se parecen más a los muertos. Y aun así, más aterrador que todo ruido, es el momento en el que un silencio inquietante se apodera de lo que antes eran ciudades, el momento en el que ya no queda gente que llore o casas que destrozar. Mientras tanto, los despiadados seres humanos convertidos en monstruos a causa de un terrible error rondan el planeta, listos para silenciar incluso a más gente. Lo siento, quizás esté siendo un poco siniestra. Me llamo Sarah Sindile. Y soy una de las personas que han sobrevivido a las bombas atómicas y las plagas de la Tercera Guerra Mundial. Y ahora estoy decidida a sobrevivir a la siguiente serie de catástrofes. Los tsunamis, los terremotos y los huracanes no son nada en comparación con lo que está ocurriendo. Nos están silenciando, de forma lenta pero segura, hasta que no quede nadie. Tengo que intentar salvar el mundo.
Sarah tenta salvar o mundo
by Bruna D'Ávila Noah PorterA terra inteira está devastada. Uma fumaça acre emana de todos os cantos. Há casas dizimadas, crianças gritando, mulheres chorando e devastação generalizada. Os mortos caminham sobre a Terra, e os vivos se parecem mais com os mortos a cada dia que passa. Ainda mais assustador que o barulho, contudo, é o silêncio sinistro que domina as antigas cidades, onde não há mais ninguém para chorar e nada para destruir. Enquanto isso, humanos transformados em monstros ferozes como fruto de um erro fatal vagam pela terra, prontos para silenciar ainda mais pessoas. Foi mal. Acho que estou sendo sombria demais. Meu nome é Sarah Sindile. Sou uma das sobreviventes às bombas atômicas e pestes da Terceira Guerra Mundial. Agora, continuo determinada a sobreviver à próxima onda de catástrofes. Tsunamis, terremotos e furacões não são nada em comparação com o que está acontecendo. Estamos sendo silenciados de modo lento, porém certeiro, até que não haja mais ninguém. E eu vou tentar salvar o mundo.

Sarahland
by Sam Cohen"Queer, dirty, insightful, and so funny" (Andrea Lawlor), this coyly revolutionary debut story collection imagines new origins and futures for its cast of unforgettable protagonists—almost all of whom are named Sarah.NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2021 BY THE MILLIONS * OPRAH MAGAZINE * ELECTRIC LITERATURE * REFINERY29 * COSMO * THE ADVOCATE * ALMA * PAPERBACK PARIS * WRITE OR DIE TRIBE * READS RAINBOWIn Sarahland, Sam Cohen brilliantly and often hilariously explores the ways in which traditional stories have failed us, both demanding and thrillingly providing for its cast of Sarahs new origin stories, new ways to love the planet and those inhabiting it, and new possibilities for life itself. In one story, a Jewish college Sarah passively consents to a form-life in pursuit of an MRS degree and is swept into a culture of normalized sexual violence. Another reveals a version of Sarah finding pleasure—and a new set of problems—by playing dead for a wealthy necrophiliac. A Buffy-loving Sarah uses fan fiction to work through romantic obsession. As the collection progresses, Cohen explodes this search for self, insisting that we have more to resist and repair than our own personal narratives. Readers witness as the ever-evolving "Sarah" gets recast: as a bible-era trans woman, an aging lesbian literally growing roots, a being who transcends the earth as we know it. While Cohen presents a world that will clearly someday end, "Sarah" will continue.In each Sarah's refusal to adhere to a single narrative, she potentially builds a better home for us all, a place to live that demands no fixity of self, no plague of consumerism, no bodily compromise, a place called Sarahland.

Sargassa (EX ROMANA)
by Sophie BurnhamAn unlikely group of rebels are ready to burn down the Roman empire like you've never imagined it before. From the halls of the Senate floor to the bloody sands of the gladiatorial pits, Sophie Burnham's debut is full of riveting political danger, thoughtful worldbuilding, and a tightly-knit group of conspirators.The role of Imperial Historian is Selia Kelios's birthright, but she was supposed to have more time to learn the role from her father, the previous Historian. In the wake of her father&’s sudden and shocking assassination, Selah finds herself custodian of more than just the Imperial Archives when an old flame returns intending to steal the Iveroa Stone—a seemingly harmless artifact containing secrets that could destroy the empire. Theo Nix is a damn good spy, and they know it. By day, they work in Senator Naevia Kleios&’s office; smart, unobtrusive, and grateful, they&’re the model of a perfect plebeian. By night, their time belongs to Griff: master strategist, commander of the Revenants, the spider at the center of a very large and very dangerous web. When Griff gives Theo an assignment, they move, no questions asked, so it&’s really no surprise Theo is flirting with Arran Alexander—Selah&’s low-caste half brother is an obvious target. It is a surprise, however, that they&’re enjoying it so much. After a year away in the legions, Arran has recently returned home, only to find the cracks beneath his feet widening. Struggling with his own identity and purpose, drawn into an underground independence movement through his growing feelings for Theo, Arran must choose between the sister he loves and the chance to take control of his own life for the very first time.Sargassa is the first book in a new speculative trilogy that is equal parts political intrigue, queer romance, and revolution.
