Book
The Ice Sculptures
by Michael D. Craig
Hollywood action hero Timothy Race is the most popular and masculine film star around. But Tim is living the ultimate showbiz lie; he's a gay man posing as America's finest example of heterosexuality. He's been the undisputed King of the Box Office since making his theatrical debut, and on the arm of his long-time friend - the stunning, acclaimed actress Raina Hawthorne - he appears to have it all. Things aren't always as they seem however, especially in the land of fantasy and the factory of dreams called Hollywood.
Book
The Power of the Dog
by Thomas Savage
"A pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for readers of East of Eden and "Brokeback Mountain." This new edition, with an afterword by Annie Proulx, marks the return of one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in the literature of the American West. Set in 1920s Montana, this compelling domestic drama tells the story of two brothers -- and of the woman and young boy, mother and son, whose arrival on the brothers' ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel's startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage's voice -- and the intense passion and cruelty of his characters -- holds readers in thrall. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, and Paul Dano.
