When he is approached by MI6 and asked to carry out a simple task on behalf of his country while attending a literary festival in Morocco, he jumps at the chance. But all is not as it seems. Carradine soon finds himself on the trail of Lara Bartok, a leading figure in Resurrection, a violent revolutionary movement targeting prominent right-wing political figures around the world. Caught between competing intelligence services who want Bartok dead, Carradine faces a choice: to abandon Bartok to her fate or to risk everything trying to save her.â
The Death Of Expertise: The Campaign Against Established Knowledge and Why it Matters by Thomas M. Nichols
âWhen challenged, non-experts resort to the false argument that the experts are often wrong. Though it may be true, but the solution is not to jettison expertise as an ideal; it is to improve our expertise. Nichols is certainly not opposed to information democratization, but rather the enlightenment people believe they achieve after superficial internet research.â
Black Spring by Henry Miller
âWith incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else the blending of people and the cities they inhabit.â

The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith
âArguably Patricia Highsmith's finest, The Price of Salt is story of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose salvation arrives one day in the form of Carol Aird, an alluring suburban housewife in the throes of a divorce. They fall in love and set out across the United States, pursued by a private investigator who eventually blackmails Carol into a choice between her daughter and her lover. With this reissue, The Price of Salt may finally be recognized as a major twentieth-century American novel.â
Orwellâs Roses by Rebecca SolnitÂ
âOrwellâs Roses by Rebecca Solnit is a refreshing entry into the many books about George Orwell that keep Orwell alive for every generation.â
The Faraway Nearby by Rebecca SolnitÂ
âIn The Faraway Nearby, Rebecca Solnit explores the ways we make our lives out of stories, and how we are connected by empathy, by narrative, by imagination. In the course of unpacking some of her own storiesâof her mother and her decline from memory loss, of a trip to Iceland, of an illnessâSolnit revisits fairytales and entertains other stories: about arctic explorers, Che Guevara among the leper colonies, and Mary Shelleyâs Dr. Frankenstein, about warmth and coldness, pain and kindness, decay and transformation, making art and making self.â
So We Read On: How The Great Gatsby Came to Be and Why It Endures by Maureen CorriganÂ
âThe bottom line is this is the best âFitzgeraldâ book published in the last 20 years. Itâs one to savor. I plan to read it again and again.â
Mysteries of Game Theory and Other Oddities by Joseph Raffetto
âMysteries of Game Theory and Other Oddities begins with a well-researched essay on David Bowie that focuses on the time Bowie spent in BerlinâŚand the monumental trio of late â70s albums that resulted. Bowieâs edgy, mercurial sensibility infuses the rest of the collectionâs novellas and short stories that run the gamut from espionage thrillers and dystopian political novellas to intimate and deeply felt coming-of-age stories set in 1970s California.
Raffetto is at his most creative in his novella âThe Mysteries of Game Theory.â Raffettoâs compelling portrait of a Los Angeles emerging from a devastating pandemic is thought-provoking, and main character Jamesâs struggles to navigate post-pandemic life and society will surely resonate with readers of contemporary literary fiction. Through essay, novella, and short story, this vivid collection explores conflict, alienation, perseverance, and David Bowie.â BookLife
âJoseph Raffettoâs Mysteries of Game Theory and Other Oddities is an intriguing and timely collection of writings inspired by the dichotomy between freedom and oppression as well as questions concerning the feasibility and form of a more equal society. It includes an essay, two novellas, and two short stories, which all explore these issues and more. Given the seemingly precarious nature of contemporary society and the increasing distance between the haves and the have-nots, the included works are relevant and thought-provoking, in addition to being entertaining.â Seattle Book Review
