Towelhead: A Novel
The year is 1991. When Jasira's mother finds out what has been going on between her boyfriend and her thirteen-year-old daughter, she has to make a choice -- and chooses to send Jasira off to Houston' Texas, to live with her father. A remote disciplinarian prone to explosive rages, Jasira's father is unable to show his daughter the love she craves -- and far less able to handle her feelings about her changing body. Bewildered by extremes of parental scrutiny and neglect, Jasira begins to look elsewhere for affection. Saddam Hussein has invaded Kuwait, and high school has become a lonely place for a "towelhead." When her father meets, and forbids her to see, her boyfriend, it becomes lonelier still. But there is always Mr. Vuoso -- a neighboring army reservist whose son Jasira babysits. Mr. Vuoso, as Jasira discovers, has an extensive collection of Playboy magazines. And he doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with Jasira's body at all. Painfully funny, tender, and sexually charged, Towelhead is that rare thing: a gloriously readable novel unafraid to take risks. The story of a girl failed by her parents and by a conflicted America, Towelhead is an ultimately redemptive and moving work that none of us can afford to ignore..

A Fifth of Bruen: Early Fiction of Ken Bruen is an omnibus of six novels, novellas, and story collections that were originally published in the early 1990s, years before Bruen was nominated for crime fiction's most coveted prize, the Edgar Award for Best Novel (for The Guards). Includes: Funeral: Tales of Irish Morbitities Martyrs Shades of Grace Sherry and Other Stories All the Old Songs and Nothing to Lose The Time of Serena-May / Upon the Third Cross All the Old Songs and Nothing to Lose is arguably Bruen's first foray into crime fiction. "The Time of Serena-May" is a heart-wrenching, semi-autobiographical story of a young couple whose first child is born with Down's Syndrome. From the introduction by Allan Guthrie: "Imagine, if you will, the time before Jack Taylor, the time before Brant & Roberts, the time before Serpent's Tail published Rilke on Black and Her Last Call to Louis MacNeice. Picture a bar in the west of Ireland. It's evening. Smoke hangs thick in the air. Laughter bounces from table to table. It's the Galway Arms Bar, and there's the young Ken Bruen, smiling and joking as he hands over a copy of his latest book to a brand new reader. That reader was one of the lucky ones. "Ken Bruen's early works have been much sought after in the last few years, and they're been virtually impossible to obtain.... Until now...".
