Now and Then: A Dare to Love Novel (Dare to Love #3)
by Mira Lyn KellyBrynn Ahearn is gorgeous, fun, and not just a sports nut but an NBA camera woman whose work takes her all over the country. In other words, she's a walking male fantasy--or at least, she would be if she weren't so busy keeping the guys at bay. The fact is, with Brynn's con-man father fresh out of jail and back in her life, dating is just too risky. Haunted by memories of her past, she couldn't ask any man to gamble with his life for love--even one as addictive as Ford Meyers. Ford can't believe his luck when he walks into a bar in Chicago's Wicker Park and gets an eyeful of Brynn, the one that got away. After the gorgeous redhead blew him off in college, Ford got on with his life and made his fortune as a bestselling game designer, but he's never found a woman who compared to Brynn. No stranger to success, Ford is used to getting what he wants--and after a scorching stolen kiss, what he wants is a second shot with his first love. To get it, he just has to convince her that he's man enough to take on the past she can't leave behind.
Now for the Disappointing Part: A Pseudo-Adult's Decade of Short-Term Jobs, Long-Term Relationships, and Holding Out for Something Better
by Steven BarkerTrue stories from the world of temporary employment for anyone terrified of being stuck in a job they hate.When Steven Barker was twelve, his father, in pursuit of the American Dream, moved the family from Canada to Connecticut, having worked his way up from an IBM mailroom to landing a vice president position in a top computer factory. Steven, in contrast, has followed the philosophy of "quit everything until you find something you don't want to quit," and has spent over fifteen years as a contract employee, a demographic that has come to make up 2 percent of the nation's work force. Now for the Disappointing Part is the first collection of essays written for the temp workers of the millennial generation-those who, by choice or circumstance, delay or abandon plans for long-term careers for the variety (and anxiety) of contract work.Funny, insightful, and sometimes shocking, Barker details his life moving from job to job as his contracts expire. He faces abuse as an account manager at Amazon when callers assume he's in India. He learns about office politics at a nonprofit. And he attends an open call at UPS for holiday help. The chapters explore issues ranging from financial instability to how gender and race play into the workforce to the (often poor) treatment temporary employees receive compared to full-time employees performing the same job. Throughout Barker also reveals his parallel relationships with women, which, like the jobs he works, appear to have predetermined expiration dates.Now for the Disappointing Part is more than the stories of a man who thinks life is too short to spend forty hours a week doing something you hate. It will resonate with a generation of people who are struggling to find work, stability, and happiness, and are afraid of losing all of them.

Together, their missives – some sardonic, others absurd, others heartbreaking – weave a tapestry of a very modern family trying (and often failing) to show one another they care.The titular “Nuclear Family” includes, among many others:A narcissistic former-child-prodigy father who has taken up haiku writing in his old age and his new wife, a traditional Chinese woman whose attempts to help her stepdaughter find a man include FedExing her silk gowns from Filene’s Basement. Their six-year-old son, Stuart, whose favorite condiment is truffle oil and who wears suits to bed. Julie’s mother, a psychologist who never remarried but may be in love with her arrogant Rabbi and overshares about everything, including the threesome she had with Dutch grad students in 1972.

Nuevas andanzas y desventuras de Lazarillo de Tormes
by Camilo José CelaUna curiosa novela picaresca contemporánea, basada en Lazarillo de Tormes. Publicada en 1944, la tercera novela de Camilo José Cela se sirve del molde del Lazarillo de Tormes para postular, en el desolado panorama de la literatura española de la inmediata posguerra, la imperturbable continuidad de sus cauces más genuinos, más propios y representativos. El mismo Cela decía que Nuevas andanzas y desventuras de Lazarillo de Tormes es un libro que señala una época de crisis, en la que se sintió impelido a probar sus artes en «el bosquecillo umbrío de los clásicos» y ensayar, sirviéndose de su «viejo y buen amigo» Lázaro, «un castellano de raíz popular». Críticas:«Cela ha vuelto a poner en marcha sobre los caminos de la Península al viejo héroe literario, con espíritu muy logrado e indudables aciertos en su reactualización.»Alonso Zamora Vicente «En Primer viaje andaluz asoma el mejor Cela.»El Mundo «Cela representa la escritura total, la escritura en acto, la escritura insomne, indeclinable y pugnaz.»Juan Manuel de Prada «Cela es a un tiempo tierno y cruel, lírico y bronco, áspero como una alimaña hambrienta y suave como un pájaro aterido. Es un heredero de la tragedia clásica, capaz de sumergirnos en las simas de la angustia y del dolor; y también un heredero de la picaresca española.»Juan Manuel de Prada «Uno de los escritores más radicales de todo el siglo XX. [...] Los relojes corren a favor de Camilo José Cela, segundo a segundo, minuto a minuto, hasta marcar la hora exacta de su eterna maestría.»Alberto Olmos «El último gran escritor español, creador de fábulas, de lenguaje, de palabras, con una capacidad prodigiosa para expresarse.»Francisco Umbral «Su obra trascenderá las anécdotas y hará que se escuche su voz imprescindible.»Víctor García de la Concha «Su escritura es un deslumbrante artificio multiplicado en páginas, para decirlo con un verso suyo, que alumbraron tan fuerte como si ardieran versos.»El País «Cela buscó la notoriedad, pero también se exigió a sí mismo una prosa con la sencillez de Baroja y el fulgor de Valle-Inclán.»El País «Su escritura es fruto de una personalidad arrolladora forjada en una España dividida, asustada y rota por una guerra civil y un porvenir en el que la pobreza y la picaresca también eran la sustancia de un ingenio que pasó a sus libros, en los que la capacidad de observación y un lenguaje implacable le dieron la vuelta a la narrativa española.»El País
