Story
The Years is a personal narrative of the period of 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present - even projections into the future - photos, books, songs, radio, television, and decades of advertising and headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and written notes from six decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the time, slogans, brands, and names for ever-proliferating objects are given a voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges.

At the funeral, Joe’s wife, Violet, attacks the girl’s corpse. This novel “transforms a familiar refrain of jilted love into a bold, sustaining time of self-knowledge and discovery. Its rhythms are infectious” (People).

La esperada novela de Kazuo Ishiguro tras el "Premio Nobel". Una historia de ciencia ficción que indaga en lo que nos hace humanos. Klara es una AA, una Amiga Artificial, especializada en el cuidado de niños. Pasa sus días en una tienda, esperando a que alguien la adquiera y se la lleve a una casa, un hogar. Mientras espera, contempla el exterior desde el escaparate. Observa a los transeúntes, sus actitudes, sus gestos, su modo de caminar, y es testigo de algunos episodios que no acaba de entender, como una extraña pelea entre dos taxistas.

Publisher's summary
Esta deliciosa novela, autobiográfica en la forma pero no en los contenidos, muestra toda la maestría y el peculiar modo de ver la realidad de esta gran figura de las letras contemporáneas.
"¿Cómo lo hará Alice Munro? Lo que consigue parece magia." (Sara Mesa)
"Alice Munro tiene una mente prodigiosa. Es precisa, natural y cuenta como nadie la interioridad y el fluir de vidas enteras en unas pocas páginas." (Rodrigo Muñoz Avia)
La vida de la gente, en Jubilee como en todas partes, era aburrida, simple, asombrosa e insondable...cuevas profundas cubiertas de linóleo de cocina.
Bastan estas pocas palabras para reconocer el talento de una espléndida narradora y colarse en la vida de Del Jordan, una chiquilla que vive con sus padres en el pueblo de Jubilee.
Del empieza contando su día a día, su relación con la familia, los vecinos y los amigos, y pronto descubrimos que esa niña sabe observar el mundo y sacar buen provecho de lo que ve: compadece la poquedad del padre, admira el arrojo de la madre, que deja la granja para dedicarse a vender enciclopedias por los alrededores, y comprende que tarde o temprano llega el momento en que hay que elegir entre una risueña mediocridad - hogar, iglesia, matrimonio, hijos - y otras opciones más interesantes y arriesgadas. Ese descubrimiento es también el de la vocación literaria, una suerte de llamada, de deber para con el mundo.
Reseña:
"Una escritora en la que mirarse." (Dolores Redondo, Mujer Hoy)
"Me habría gustado escribir cualquier cuento de Alice Munro. Me parece una maestra. Me ha ayudado a escribir sobre la maternidad, la amistad entre mujeres, las relaciones entre madres e hijas." (Elvira Lindo, La 2 de TVE)
"Lo asombroso es ver que hace cuarenta años Munro estaba ya en posesión y pleno dominio de su hermoso instrumento verbal, por encima de todo eficaz, que ahora me parece único. Y envidiable." (Robert Saladrigas, Cultura/s, La Vanguardia)

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Story
Winner of an Obie and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and directed by Tony nominee Leigh Silverman, Yellow Face is as timely as ever, wrestling with issues of cultural appropriation, complicity, and artistic freedom. It’s brought to life in this audio-only revival by a stunning all-star cast (many playing themselves) led by Daniel Dae Kim.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.
