Paperback. Zustand: Good. In Bruno's Conversion, a transformative exploration of faith and modern love, Bruno Kirsch, a divorced middle-aged professor of French literature, finds himself stranded in Miami Beach over Christmas break when his "shiksa" lover, Mary-whose idea it was to vacation there-abandons him for home back in New York City.Soon after, Bruno sets his sights on a striking one-legged woman named Suzie, whom he spots on his morning walk along the beach, and quickly develops an all-consuming obsession over how to approach her. While he fantasizes about their future love, the Hasids of Miami Beach act as a potent reminder of his heritage and conflicted faith. Eventually caught in a hypnotic tourist trap, a disoriented Bruno is forced to confront his religious convictions, his objectification of women, and his strange new independence. Inescapably unforgiving and darkly comical, Tsipi Keller's Bruno's Conversion cleverly captures the post-divorce single life of middle-aged men and all their vulnerabilities."Bruno is querulous, often insufferably so, but I cheered for his pedantic contentiousness, his restless need for debate, his investment in too many meanings, even if it curses him to loneliness." -Full Stop "Masterful in her articulation of Bruno's dreams and insecurities, Keller presents a lost soul on a possible path to redemption-or a nightmare. The story is imbued with a delicious sense of rising menace and, as the final page is reached, the reader only wishes the harrowing pleasure did not have to end." -Janice Ellsworth, Author.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winston Fisher, Jr. is broke, unemployed, and coming off his third divorce. High on cocaine, he wanders through his rented McMansion in a bathrobe, taking little notice of the piles of takeout containers or unopened mail, or even his firearms scattered throughout-a collection vast enough to be called an arsenal. His mother calls constantly. His newly engaged daughter texts updates about the wedding. They still think of him as the man he once was. The only people who know better are his coke dealer and his closest friend, an escort.What begins as a side hustle-tweaking AR-15s in his garage-becomes something more lucrative, more dangerous, and yet somehow more boring than Winston imagined. The tedium breaks when he stumbles upon a cartel-run stash house hidden in a south Texas junkyard. Fantasizing about robbing it, he begins to wonder if he's desperate enough to follow through.Part character study, part slow-motion implosion, Drew Nellins Smith's Wince is an unsettling satire about American masculinity, depression, gun culture, and what happens when rock-bottom is mistaken for a return to stability. Denigris, Griffin (illustrator).…
