Published on 2021-06-01 by Hogarth
From the bestselling author of A Ladder to the Sky—“a darkly funny novel that races like a beating heart” (People)—comes a new novel that plays out across all of human history: a story as precise as it is unlimited.
This story starts with a family.
For now, it is a father and a mother with two sons, one with his father’s violence in his blood, one with his mother’s artistry.
One leaves.
One stays.
They will be joined by others whose deeds will determine their fate.
It is a beginning.
Their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of two thousand years.
They will meet again and again at different times and in different places.
From Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium and journeying across fifty countries to a life among the stars in the third, the world will change around them, but their destinies remain the same.
It must play out as foretold.
From the award-winning author of The Heart’s Invisible Furies comes A Traveler at the Gates of Wisdom, an epic tale of humanity.
The story of all of us, stretching across two millennia.
Imaginative, unique, heartbreaking, this is John Boyne at his most creative and compelling.

Blonde-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Joyce Carol Oates
Published by HarperCollinsPublished since 2017-02-14
The National Book Award finalist and national bestseller exploring the life and legend of Marilyn Monroe Soon to be a Netflix Film starring Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale and Julianne Nicholson In one of her most ambitious works, Joyce Carol Oates boldly reimagines the inner, poetic, and spiritual life of Norma Jeane Baker—the child, the woman, the fated celebrity, and idolized blonde the world came to know as Marilyn Monroe.
In a voice startlingly intimate and rich, Norma Jeane tells her own story of an emblematic American artist—intensely conflicted and driven—who had lost her way.
A powerful portrait of Hollywood’s myth and an extraordinary woman’s heartbreaking reality, Blonde is a sweeping epic that pays tribute to the elusive magic and devastation behind the creation of the great 20th-century American star.
Erasure-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Percival Everett
Published by Graywolf PressPublished since 2011-10-25
Percival Everett's blistering satire about race and publishing, now adapted for the screen as AMERICAN FICTION, directed by Cord Jefferson and starring Jeffrey Wright and Tracee Ellis Ross Thelonious "Monk" Ellison's writing career has bottomed out: his latest manuscript has been rejected by seventeen publishers, which stings all the more because his previous novels have been "critically acclaimed." He seethes on the sidelines of the literary establishment as he watches the meteoric success of We's Lives in Da Ghetto, a first novel by a woman who once visited "some relatives in Harlem for a couple of days." Meanwhile, Monk struggles with real family tragedies—his aged mother is fast succumbing to Alzheimer's, and he still grapples with the reverberations of his father's suicide seven years before.
In his rage and despair, Monk dashes off a novel meant to be an indictment of Juanita Mae Jenkins's bestseller.
He doesn't intend for My Pafology to be published, let alone taken seriously, but it is—under the pseudonym Stagg R.
Leigh—and soon it becomes the Next Big Thing.
How Monk deals with the personal and professional fallout galvanizes this audacious, hysterical, and quietly devastating novel.

A desperate man attempts to win a reality TV game where the only objective is to stay alive in this #1 national bestseller from Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman.
“Tomorrow at noon, the hunt begins.
Remember his face!” Ben Richards is a desperate man.
With no job, no money, no way out, and a young daughter in need of proper medical attention, he must turn to the only possibility of striking it rich in this near-future dystopian America: participating in the ultraviolent TV programming of the government-sanctioned Games Network.
Ben soon finds himself selected as a contestant on the biggest and the best that the Games Network has to offer: The Running Man, a no-holds-barred thirty-day struggle to stay alive as public enemy number one, relentlessly hunted by an elite strike force bent on killing him as quickly as possible in front of an audience all too eager to see that happen.
It means a billion dollars in prize money if he can live for the next month.
No one has ever survived longer than eight days.
But desperation can push a person do things they never thought possible—and Ben Richards is willing to go the distance in this ultimate game of life and death....
