Apenas Uma Noite
by Alexa MontesSó tive duas noites de sexo casual na minha vida. A primeira resultou na minha filhinha. A segunda, um casamento em Vegas com um sex symbol internacional e baterista de rock sulista mais bem-sucedida, Chance Woodcox. Quer saber de uma coisa engraçada? As duas noites foram com o mesmo cara. Estive tentando encontrar o pai da minha filha há anos. Acontece que eu só estava escutando a estação de rádio errada! Não sei nada sobre esse Chance Woodcox ou sobre sua banda. Tudo que eu sei é que com a fama, vem um monte de complicações. Chance promote me proteger, mas como ele pode fazer isso quando, literalmente, um holofote ilumina os meus segredos sombrios do passado? Tudo que eu sei é que faço qualquer coisa para proteger minha filha... mesmo que isso signifique trair o homem por quem eu me apaixonei desesperadamente.

Apocalyptic Territories: Setting and Revelation in Contemporary American Fiction (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature)
by Anna HellénResearch on the relationship between the apocalyptic tradition and the literary imagination has typically espoused a temporal approach which in one way or another revolves around the order of events that precedes the end of history and the ensuing establishment of a new world. This study, by contrast, explores the spatial dimensions of apocalypse, more precisely the way in which the settings of the Book of Revelation are taken up by contemporary American writers and related to more general but also more contested concerns of territorial integrity and national identity. Influenced by Lefebvre’s theories, the study understands territory not simply as the container of certain structures and practices but also as the result of them, just as bird song is not framed by but rather constructive of territorial borders. It is the equivalent of such ‘songs’ that this book seeks to listen in on, i.e. the apocalyptic narratives that have been passed on through the centuries to define and sustain territory on a local, regional, and national level, and the way in which seven novels by Rick Moody, Toni Morrison, Jesmyn Ward, Cormac McCarthy, and Michael Chabon respond to them.

One minute Taylor and Apollo were in modern-day San Francisco, and the next thing she knew, a shift in the earth's crust, a wrinkle in time, and the lovely historian found herself facing the terror of California's most infamous earthquake --- and a love so monumental it threatened to shake the foundations of her world.
