Historia
This is the book that launched William F. Buckley, Jr.'s career. As a young, recent Yale graduate, he took on Yale's professional and administrative staffs, citing their hypocritical diversion from the tenets on which the institution was built. Yale was founded on the belief that God exists, and thus that virtue and individualism represent immutable cornerstones of education. However, when Buckley wrote this scathing expose, the institution had made an about face.

However Many Swirlies Buckley Received— It Was Not Enough
Revisado: 11-11-24
Reprehensibly annoying and oddly maudlin, as most conservatives and their diatribes are. Nonetheless, it's a useful psyochological profile into the anxiety-wracked, paranoid mind of a smug midcentury culture warrior who Definitely Wasn't Gay.

Historia
Beth and Fran spend their days traveling the ravaged New England coast, hunting feral men and harvesting their organs in a gruesome effort to ensure they'll never face the same fate. Robbie lives by his gun and one hard-learned motto: other people aren't safe. After a brutal accident entwines the three of them, this found family of survivors must navigate murderous TERFs, a sociopathic billionaire bunker brat, and awkward relationship dynamics—all while outrunning packs of feral men, and their own demons.

Trans Wastelanders Take On Josephine Girlbbels
Revisado: 06-23-22
The narrative voice contains a shocking breadth of referential content (from pop culture, New England provincialisms, to queer theory and its indoor baseball) and weaves it into a skillful literary register. A refreshing read for lovers of post-apocalyptic speculation and queer people tired of cruciblesque Discourse.

Historia
In this first of a planned five-volume set, David Roy provides a complete and annotated translation of the famous Chin P'ing Mei, an anonymous sixteenth-century Chinese novel that focuses on the domestic life of Hsi-men Ch'ing, a corrupt, upwardly mobile merchant in a provincial town, who maintains a harem of six wives and concubines. This work, known primarily for its erotic realism, is also a landmark in the development of the narrative art form - not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but in a world-historical context.

Incredibly sophisticated in narrative form. Engaging well beyond the licentious bits (and there are many)

Historia
God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

Historia
The Enchanter is the Ur-Lolita, the precursor to Nabokov’s classic novel. At once hilarious and chilling, it tells the story of an outwardly respectable man and his fatal obsession with certain pubescent girls, whose coltish grace and subconscious coquetry reveal, to his mind, a special bud on the verge of bloom.

Excellent Narrator; Story is more disturbing than its longer, offspring text. Darkly funny, and hyperfocused.
