An intricate, metaphysical, ambitious "psychogeography of the self" that both disrupts and elevates the 21st century vision of the novel.

Our narrator is held in complete darkness and isolation. His endless thoughts are turned into the book we are reading--Schattenfroh--directed by none other than the narrator's mysterious jailer by the same name. Undulating through explorations of Renaissance art, the German reformation, time-defying esoterica, the printing process in the 16th century, Kabbalistic mysticism, and beyond, Schattenfroh is a remarkable book that, in turn, asks the remarkable of its readers.

Interruptions, breaks, and annotations both buoy and deceive, and endless historical references, literary allusions, and wordplay construct a baroque, encyclopedic quest. Schattenfroh's publication in English marks a seminal moment in the history of the literary form.

From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes the fifth in a dark and steamy college romance series featuring elite criminal families and morally gray heroes. Mafia heir Nikolai Sokolov is a notorious playboy and as violent as they come, and when he sets his sights on golden boy Brandon, all hell might just break loose.

I'm slowly sinking.

Brandon King never thought he was attracted to men. To be honest, he'd never been that attracted to anyone. But that was before he slammed directly into Nikolai Sokolov, a mafia heir known for being a notorious bastard and violent monster.

Once Nikolai has his sights set on Brandon, he's haunted by him. He can't seem to let him go. A man who is so unlike him in every way: a quiet artist, golden boy, and his enemy's twin brother.

Brandon can't seem to get rid of Nikolai--he's everywhere. And his being everywhere throws a wrench into Brandon's carefully controlled life. Nikolai is desperate to break that control down.

While Brandon worries about Nikolai's role in his life and his slowly disintegrating control, he learns that being wanted by a beautiful nightmare is much worse.

Coleman Hill is the exhilarating story of two American families whose fates become intertwined in the wake of the Great Migration. Braiding fact and fiction, it is a remarkable, character-rich tour de force exploring the ties that bind three generations.

In 1916, during the early days of the Great Migration, Celia Coleman and Lucy Grimes flee the racism and poverty of their homes in the post-Civil War South for the "Promised Land" of Vauxhall, New Jersey. But the North possesses its own challenges and bigotries that will shape the fates of the women and their families over the next seventy years. Told through the voices of nine family members--their perspectives at once harmonious and contradictory--Coleman Hill is a penetrating multigenerational debut.

Within ten years of arriving in Vauxhall, both Celia and Lucy's husbands are dead, and they turn to one another for support in raising their children far from home. Lucy's gentleness sets Celia at ease, and Celia lends Lucy her fire when her friend wants to cower. Encouraged by their mothers' friendship, their children's lives become enmeshed as well. As the children grow into adolescence, two are caught in an impulsive act of impropriety, and Celia and Lucy find themselves at irreconcilable odds over who's to blame. The ensuing fallout has dire consequences that reverberate through the next two generations of their families.

A stunning biomythography--a word coined by the late great writer Audre Lorde--Coleman Hill draws from the author's own family legend, historical record, and fervent imagination to create an unforgettable new history. The result is a kaleidoscopic novel whose intergenerational arc emerges through a series of miniatures that contain worlds.

"A masterpiece. Brilliant, vivid, heartbreaking, epic, beautiful, raw and true . . . This is the American story." ―Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less Is Lost

"Kim Coleman Foote has the rare talent of completely immersing you in time and place . . . A sweeping yet intimate family saga." --Sarah Jessica Parker

The Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the Scopes Trial and the battle over evolution and creation in America's schools

In the summer of 1925, the sleepy hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee, became the setting for one of the twentieth century's most contentious courtroom dramas, pitting William Jennings Bryan and the anti-Darwinists against a teacher named John Scopes, represented by Clarence Darrow and the ACLU, in a famous debate over science, religion, and their place in public education. That trial marked the start of a battle that continues to this day-in cities and states throughout the country.

Edward Larson's classic Summer for the Gods -- winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History -- is the single most authoritative account of this pivotal event. An afterword assesses the state of the battle between creationism and evolution, and points the way to how it might potentially be resolved.

A stunning debut that reveals one of the most hiddencorners of Iranian culture

Seventeen-year-old Sahar has been in love with her best friend, Nasrin, since they were six. They've shared stolen kisses and romantic promises. But Iran is a dangerous place for two girls in love--Sahar and Nasrin could be beaten, imprisoned, even executed if their relationship came to light.

So they carry on in secret--until Nasrin's parents announce that they've arranged for her marriage. Nasrin tries to persuade Sahar that they can go on as they have been, only now with new comforts provided by the decent, well-to-do doctor Nasrin will marry. But Sahar dreams of loving Nasrin exclusively--and openly.

Then Sahar discovers what seems like the perfect solution. In Iran, homosexuality may be a crime, but to be a man trapped in a woman's body is seen as nature's mistake, and sex reassignment is legal and accessible. As a man, Sahar could be the one to marry Nasrin. Sahar will never be able to love the one she wants, in the body she wants to beloved in, without risking her life. Is saving her love worth sacrificing her true self?

The placenta, the root of your origin, is a miraculous organ that shares and protects your life. It is the conductor that unites you with your mother and serves as the control panel of the womb-ship that sustains you until you are born. It was conceived at the moment of your genesis. Your placenta is genetically identical to you. Though you share some of your parents' genetic identity, unless you have a monozygotic (identical) twin, no one, except your placenta, has ever been so perfectly, exactly you. Sexual reproduction, the act of creating new life, only works because of the placenta. As mammals, we reproduce sexually, so sex is the reddest, hottest tile in the mosaic of our earthly lives, and the placenta is the mandala in the center of this miracle. Historically, our creation stories tell of the Earth Mother birthing the world: her amniotic fluid became the oceans, the placenta became the Tree of Life. This demonstrates how essential the placenta is to our survival and how embedded it is in our psyche. According to Chaos Theory, dynamic systems are sensitive to start up conditions. Human beings are extremely dynamic systems, and our survival hinges on the strength of our individual immune systems. The placenta is the commander-in-chief of the baby's immune system during embryonic development (i.e. condition of start-up). Thus, we must protect our offspring's placentas by being gentle during the transition of birth, to give our children the best possible start and protect the very foundation of their immune systems.

The narrator is a scientist hideously deformed in a laboratory accident - a man who has lost his face and, with it, connection to other people. Even his wife is now repulsed by him. His only entry back into the world is to create a mask so perfect as to be undetectable. But soon he finds that such mask is more than a disguise: it is an alternate self - a self that is capable of anything. A remorseless meditation on nature, identity, and the social contract, THE FACE OF ANOTHER is an intellectual horror story of the highest order.

An incisive, intimate diary of the life of a travesti sex worker in Brazil, with a foreward by Charlotte Shane

So What If I'm a Puta, originally published on author Amara Moira's popular blog of the same name, consists of 44 crônicas that wryly portray her experiences as a trans sex worker in Brazil. In a brazen, funny, and at times heartbreaking voice, Moira explores the political and personal textures of her encounters with the men who buy sex from her, and the complex reality of her labor of a sort of love.

Woven through Moira's essays are reflections on transition, safe sex, desire, whorephobia, consent--in the grim context of Brazil's record rates of violence against trans women. Ultimately, Moira writes to center trans sex workers in Brazil's putafeminist movement, modeling a feminism that envisions inclusivity, safety, self-determination, and joy for us all.

How the intersex liberation movement exposed medical harms and became an inspiration to rethink sex and gender

HERMAPHRODITE LOGIC is a bold examination of intersex liberation. Juliana Gleeson reveals how a move-ment challenged systemic medical abuses to reshape our understanding of sex. Blending philosophical insights and personal testimonies, Gleeson argues that intersex people have been harmed not just for therapeutic reasons but to ease professional andparental anxieties.

Your friends gather around the table, character sheets at the ready. You dive into the fantasy: a dark dungeon crawling with enemies, the journey promising wealth or ruin, victory or defeat. Your party forges onward: roll Perception. . . . roll Stealth. . . . But not every question can be answered by the dice.

Decisions like when to trust, how to love, and who we are can't be outsourced to a D20. We don't get skill modifiers in real life--and we definitely don't get fireball--but that doesn't mean we can't still find ways to access magic in our day-to-day.

From exploring gender identity with an oath-bound paladin to playing out an in-game romance with your best friend, tabletop gaming paves the way for new relationships and shows us the richness of the worlds we inhabit, both fictional and real.

Within these pages, adventure awaits--but first, it's time to roll for Initiative.
