Описание:

You've heard of these groups - the secretive ones that only the cr me de la cr me are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries - I'm the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I'm fresh meat. New blood. New money, too.

They think they'll elbow past me, that I'm here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they'll find out soon enough that I'm not.

I may look like one of them, with my designer bags and clothes straight from the Parisian runways, but I'm not. I'm here for answers, to take revenge for blood spilled on their centuries-old Persian rugs.

I transferred here in search for answers about what happened to my older brother, who hightailed out of here, and my friend who seemingly disappeared into thin air. I certainly wasn't here for the attention of the star hockey player, regardless of how much he willed my eyes his way. I wasn't here for his scrutiny or his judgment or to read into his mysterious aura. I was here for the society, because only they held the answers I needed. That was, until I found out that in order to get those answers, I needed to go through him. He's saying if I want in, I have to play by their rules, follow their lead.

It's a game I'm willing to play.

I may be the second person I know of to be invited into their society, but I'll be the first to make it out intact.

Описание: "Alice in Wonderland Yesterday and Today" Coloring book is like no other Alice. It takes the adult (this one is not for the kiddies) through the early years of the classic Tenniel illustrations with quotes from the traditional Lewis Carroll Story. Midway it changes into "Alice's Bloody Adventures" based upon the popular book of the same name by author Ra l Alberto Contreras aka Tweedle Guns. This section of the book imagines Alice as she might be today as she chases the killer wabbit through wonderland and into the looking glass. Aside from the popularity of coloring books for adults, this one goes beyond the intricate patterns of mandalas into a really good read.

Описание:

This satirical adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is a twisted retelling of an already absurdist vision of reality. Raul Contreras inspired artwork is an entertaining and modern take on familiar illustrations and the story is no children's bedtime story. In this twisted retelling of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the White Rabbit has killed Alice's sister and cat. with a vengeance, she chases after the Rabbit, down, down the rabbit hole and into a dark looking glass of madness. She finds herself a pawn of Wonderland and its inhabitants.

Описание: "When women tell stories, they are finally at the center of the page. When women of color write history, we see the world as we have never seen it before. In Fruit of the Drunken Tree, Ingrid Rojas Contreras honors the lives of girls who witness war. Brava I was swept up by this story."
--Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street

In the vein of Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a mesmerizing debut set against the backdrop of the devastating violence of 1990's Colombia about a sheltered young girl and a teenage maid who strike an unlikely friendship that threatens to undo them both

The Santiago family lives in a gated community in Bogota, safe from the political upheaval terrorizing the country. Seven-year-old Chula and her older sister Cassandra enjoy carefree lives thanks to this protective bubble, but the threat of kidnappings, car bombs, and assassinations hover just outside the neighborhood walls, where the godlike drug lord Pablo Escobar continues to elude authorities and capture the attention of the nation.
When their mother hires Petrona, a live-in-maid from the city's guerrilla-occupied slum, Chula makes it her mission to understand Petrona's mysterious ways. But Petrona's unusual behavior belies more than shyness. She is a young woman crumbling under the burden of providing for her family as the rip tide of first love pulls her in the opposite direction. As both girls' families scramble to maintain stability amidst the rapidly escalating conflict, Petrona and Chula find themselves entangled in a web of secrecy that will force them both to choose between sacrifice and betrayal.
Inspired by the author's own life, and told through the alternating perspectives of the willful Chula and the achingly hopeful Petrona, Fruit of the Drunken Tree contrasts two very different, but inextricable coming-of-age stories. In lush prose, Rojas Contreras sheds light on the impossible choices women are often forced to make in the face of violence and the unexpected connections that can blossom out of desperation.
