Story
A beautiful, wealthy heiress finds herself daydreaming of meeting her prince charming. One day, there is a knock on the door of her lonely mansion - a gentleman caller at long last. She loves to play hostess; she is very old-fashioned in her tastes, serving sherry and cookies as her parents had. The handsome young man seems to enjoy them very much and gets quite tipsy. He is always intoxicated by the diamonds she wears. The afternoon passes as she shares tales of her family’s tragic history that left her orphaned at a young age.

Publisher's summary
This time his Andy had to be back at his Air Force base in 24 hours.
Roger thought to himself, 24 hours seems a lifetime.
The handsome young soldier stood in the middle of Grand Central Station watching the hands move slowly on the grand gold clock atop the round information booth.
He felt as if he was watching his life tick by...
When your country is in a war, a world war; every day is a lifetime. It felt as if Roger had been waiting all his life to find a man to love him, indeed he had been. For men in the military to love was very secret and rare...It had taken a long time to meet on leave a year ago. Now, they would have such a short time together. All there time together was short except for two weeks they had managed once on the shore of Long Island.
Andy was the first man he had ever kissed, really kissed and felt his affection returned. He had felt revelation in those warm male lips on his. He felt perhaps he wasn’t one of god’s mistakes after all, not a misfit, for he and Andy fit together perfectly right from the start.

Story
One of the most recognizable young poets in America, Olivia Gatwood dazzles with her tribute to contemporary American womanhood in her debut book, New American Best Friend. Gatwood's poems deftly deconstruct traditional stereotypes. The focus shifts from childhood to adulthood, gender to sexuality, violence to joy. And always and inexorably, the book moves toward celebration, culminating in a series of odes: odes to the body, to tough women, to embracing your own journey in all its failures and triumphs.

Story
A tour de force, Amulet is a highly charged first-person, semi-hallucinatory novel that embodies in one woman's voice the melancholy and violent recent history of Latin America. Amulet is a monologue, like Bolaño's acclaimed debut in English, By Night in Chile. The speaker is Auxilio Lacouture, a Uruguayan woman who moved to Mexico in the 1960s, becoming the "Mother of Mexican Poetry", hanging out with the young poets in the cafés and bars of the University.
