Because it’s 1977, underage debauchery is to be expected—and Cat and Claire’s children, Bizzy and Choo, are at its very center. Underneath their well-maintained veneer, the Thorndens are quite dysfunctional, but have always had their entitlement to fall back on. And while some are finally ready to accept what they’re willing to give up for the life that they think they deserve, secrets that should’ve never been kept—especially not from each other—are bubbling unattractively to the surface.So when a scandal threatens to unravel this tight-lipped family and their secrets, the Thorndens will have to decide how much they’ll let decorum rule social mores dictate their decisions and how far they’ll go to keep some secrets just that. Any choice they make could mean freedom from expectations but will change the course of their family's legacy forever.

Twittando su un risciò.
by Stefan Mey Manuela GalloIl nuovo ceto medio indiano abbraccia la tecnologia e i social media. In tale contesto un giornalista tenta di fare business, ma in realtà deve fare i conti con varie sfide interculturali. Ho scritto il mio libro “India 2.0- Twittando su un risciò” nel corso del mio viaggio di cinque mesi in India. Tratta di tecnologia, del nascente ceto medio, di incontri con una cultura diversa e di religione. La storia: sono giunto in India per lavorare come giornalista, ma sul mio cammino ho incontrato difficoltà di diversa natura, dovute alle differenze con la cultura locale o ai miei problemi di salute. Queste mi hanno spinto a rinunciare al mio incarico ma non al mio viaggio e ho continuato così ad attraversare l’India in lungo e largo. Ho partecipato a convegni e visitato Ashram, dialogato con hippie a Goa e con esperti di induismo. L’intero libro è intriso di autoironia e humour, ma dà anche consigli a chi ha intenzione di lavorare come freelance in questa economia in crescita. "Twittando su un risciò" si consiglia ai cosiddetti ‘nomadi digitali’ e ai lavoratori freelance.

Twitterature
by Alexander Aciman Emmett RensinPerhaps while reading Shakespeare you've asked yourself, What exactly is Hamlet trying to tell me? Why must he mince words and muse in lyricism and, in short, whack about the shrub? But if the Prince of Denmark had a Twitter account and an iPhone, he could tell his story in real time--and concisely! Hence the genius of Twitterature. Hatched in a dorm room at the brain trust that is the University of Chicago, Twitterature is a hilarious and irreverent re-imagining of the classics as a series of 140-character tweets from the protagonist. Providing a crash course in more than eighty of the world's best-known books, from Homer to Harry Potter, Virgil to Voltaire, Tolstoy to Twilight and Dante to The Da Vinci Code. It's the ultimate Cliffs Notes. Because as great as the classics are, who has time to read those big, long books anymore? Sample tweets: From Hamlet: WTF IS POLONIUS DOING BEHIND THE CURTAIN??? From the Harry Potter series: Oh man big tournament at my school this year!! PSYCHED! I hope nobody dies this year, and every year as if by clockwork. From The Great Gatsby: Gatsby is so emo. Who cries about his girlfriend while eating breakfast...IN THE POOL?
Two Across
by Jeffrey BartschHighly awkward teenager Stanley Owens meets his match in beautiful, brainy Vera Baxter when they tie for first place in the annual National Spelling Bee-and the two form a bond that will change both of their lives. Though their mothers have big plans for them-Stanley will become a senator, Vera a mathematics professor-neither wants to follow these pre-determined paths. So Stanley hatches a scheme to marry Vera in a sham wedding for the cash gifts, hoping they will enable him to pursue his one true love: crossword puzzle construction. In enlisting Vera to marry him, though, he neglects one variable: she's secretly in love with him, which makes their counterfeit ceremony an exercise in misery for her. Realizing the truth only after she's moved away and cut him out of her life, Stanley tries to atone for his mistakes and win her back. But he's unable to find her, until one day he comes across a puzzle whose clues make him think it could only have been created by Vera. Intrigued, he plays along, communicating back to her via his own gridded clues. But will they connect again before it's all too late?
