Paperback. Etat : Good. The surviving son of a germophobic mother, Cecil Reitmeister embraces all forms of bacteria and formulates an elaborate plan to lead humanity out of the Anthropocene and into a new era of interspecies harmony. His idiosyncratic plan requires years of experimentation and precise manipulation of his microbiome, the totality of microorganisms present in or on the human body. His mad-scientist mission leads to extreme social isolation, with the memory of his dead mother becoming his most frequent visitor. Cecil's quest to save the world comes to a screeching halt when his social worker and the police show up to condemn the only home he has ever known. Thrown in jail for assaulting the police, Cecil soon finds himself homeless and struggles to adjust to life on the streets. When he meets a group of Freegans (people who reject consumerism and seek to reduce waste by collecting discarded food) led by a magnetic red-headed woman, Cecil is forced to confront demons from his past and to reassess his self-imposed alienation, the rigidity of his worldview, and, ultimately, his plan to save humanity.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. An important story, borne of careful observation and an avalanche of experiences, masterfully told.Howard Meh-Buh MaximusWinner, MMF 2020---Alien at Home by Antoine F. Gnintedem is a story about a quest for identity and belonging by a Black immigrant in an America that is marked by heightened racism and xenophobia.While most books about racism in the United States only focus on the plight of African Americans and often omit the hate, bigotry, and xenophobia that Black immigrants endure daily, Alien at Home offers a unique perspective by portraying the hate that Black immigrants encounter in their interactions with both White and African American citizens. The irony in the fact that the latter group could be xenophobic toward immigrants from Africa while vigorously fighting for an end to racism in America adds to the complexity of the plot.The birth of the protagonist's biracial son just hours after he is the victim of the most humiliating encounter with racism on his return from participating in a protest to clamor for an end to racism in America following the brutal murder of a Black man, George Floyd, by a White police officer, offers him hope for an America where everyone would belong and would be proud to call home.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Before anyone cared, before Gloria Steinem and #metoo, ambitious women - a rare breed in the workplace of the 1950s and 60s - were forced to jump hurdles men didn't face. Nina Silver and Betty Cooper, two of these trailblazers, had little in common and met only once, yet a mysterious death tethered their paths for decades. All Things in Time is the story of these two feisty women in the post-WI years: their careers, and their personal lives, calculated and otherwise.Written with rare and wise perspective by the 90+-year-old Sue Buyer, a Vassar College and Columbia Journalism School graduate, the book builds on first-hand observations and experiences in the newsroom of a metropolitan, large-circulation paper.

The novella will also appeal to anyone looking to curl up in a nice chair with a good read on a rainy day.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Striking as it is soft, vulnerable as it is commanding, Feast signals the arrival of an essential voice. In her debut poetry collection, Alexandra Antonopoulos paints a primal landscape of passion, defiance, and fatalistic repetition while delving into reflections on the sacredness of love and self. There is a dark foreboding in Feast that forges an unshakable sense of cosmic d j vu. Vivid and raw, the poems explore the inherent danger that lies in vulnerability - and the further danger of hiding our deepest truths. Feast takes an unflinching look at relationships and the desperation that bubbles below the surface, exploring what it means to love and to know oneself fully, daring the reader to devour life's inherent contradictions as readily as honey wine.…
