Winner of the Women’s Prize for Fiction “No one writes like Ruth Ozeki—a triumph.” —Matt Haig, New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library “Inventive, vivid, and propelled by a sense of wonder.” —TIME “If you’ve lost your way with fiction over the last year or two, let The Book of Form and Emptiness light your way home.” —David Mitchell, Booker Prize-finalist author of Cloud Atlas A boy who hears the voices of objects all around him; a mother drowning in her possessions; and a Book that might hold the secret to saving them both—the brilliantly inventive new novel from the Booker Prize-finalist Ruth Ozeki One year after the death of his beloved musician father, thirteen-year-old Benny Oh begins to hear voices.
The voices belong to the things in his house—a sneaker, a broken Christmas ornament, a piece of wilted lettuce.
Although Benny doesn't understand what these things are saying, he can sense their emotional tone; some are pleasant, a gentle hum or coo, but others are snide, angry and full of pain.
When his mother, Annabelle, develops a hoarding problem, the voices grow more clamorous.
At first, Benny tries to ignore them, but soon the voices follow him outside the house, onto the street and at school, driving him at last to seek refuge in the silence of a large public library, where objects are well-behaved and know to speak in whispers.
There, Benny discovers a strange new world.
He falls in love with a mesmerizing street artist with a smug pet ferret, who uses the library as her performance space.
He meets a homeless philosopher-poet, who encourages him to ask important questions and find his own voice amongst the many.
And he meets his very own Book—a talking thing—who narrates Benny’s life and teaches him to listen to the things that truly matter.
With its blend of sympathetic characters, riveting plot, and vibrant engagement with everything from jazz, to climate change, to our attachment to material possessions, The Book of Form and Emptiness is classic Ruth Ozeki—bold, wise, poignant, playful, humane and heartbreaking.

Green Wheat-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Colette
Published by Published since 2004
Written in 1923, "Green Wheat "is set in a villa in Brittany and is a story of burgeoning sexuality.
This edition does more than meet Rogow's mark "to do justice to Colette's enormous talent," it presents a great classic to the world once again.
From the Translator's Preface: Of her more than twenty books, "Green Wheat "is perhaps Colette's most polished, most perfect.
It was in Green Wheat that she achieved an exquisite blend of two of her greatest gifts as a fiction writer--her uncanny ability to fathom the hearts of adolescents, and her skill at describing nature with the phrasing of a poet and the colors and light of a great landscape painter.
This combination helps make "Green Wheat "one of the enduring works of fiction of the last 100 years.

Ultimately, the book is a story about the loss of Eden, both of youth and of nature.

It is about the loss of a type of hope, a hope that many of us cling to, that love can somehow escape the imperfections of life.
Zack Rogow translates French literature and was a co-winner of the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Award for "Earthlight," by Andre Breton, as well as winner of a Bay Area Book Reviewers Award (BABRA) for his translation of George Sand's novel, "Horace." He is the editor of a new anthology of U.S.
poetry, "The Face of Poetry," to be published by University of California Press in 2004.
He teaches in the M.F.A.
in Writing Program at the California College of Arts & Crafts and lives in San Francisco.
Colette, whose real name was Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, was born in the village of Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye in Burgundy, France in 1873 and died in Paris in 1954.

She is considered one of the great novelists of the 20th century.
Among her many awards, Colette was made a member of the Belgian Royal Academy in the 1930s and was also the first woman to be admitted to the prestigious Goncourt Academy.
In 1953 she became a grand officer of the Legion of Honour.

Charleston-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Margaret Bradham Thornton
Published by Harper CollinsPublished since 2014-07-29
A gifted writer makes her fiction debut with this lyrical and haunting story of missed chances and enduring love, set against the backdrop of high society Charleston, which probes the eternal question: can we ever truly go home again? When Eliza Poinsett left the elegant world of Charleston for college, she never expected it would take her ten years to return.
Now almost a decade later, she is an art historian in London with a charming Etonian boyfriend who adores her.
But the past catches up with her when she runs into Henry, her childhood love, at a wedding in the English countryside.
Already unnerved by the encounter, Eliza’s carefully guarded equilibrium is shattered when she meets Henry again in Charleston, where she’s come for her stepsister’s debut.
Set against a backdrop of stately homes, the seductive Lowcountry landscape, and the entangled lives of families who trace their ancestors back for generations, Eliza has to decide if she is willing to risk everything for which she has worked so hard to be with the only man she has ever truly loved.
Charleston is an evocative, melancholy novel about one woman’s love—for both a man and an unforgettable city.
Emotionally resonant, beguiling in its atmosphere, it illuminates the elusive notion of home, and explores whether we can we truly ever go back to the place—and the people—that indelibly shaped us.

Of course, that all changes the moment she establishes a secret source inside Mayor Daley’s office and gets her hands on some confidential information.
Now careers and lives are hanging on Jordan’s every word.
But if she succeeds in landing her stories on the front page, there’s no guarantee she’ll remain above the fold.…
