Alam keeps things crystal clear and speedway fast. —The Boston Globe“Should come with an undertow warning.”—Louise ErdrichA novel of money and morality from the New York Times bestselling author of Leave the World BehindBrooke wants. She isn’t in need, but there are things she wants. A sense of purpose, for instance. She wants to make a difference in the world, to impress her mother along the way, to spend time with friends and secure her independence. Her job assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune could help her achieve many of these goals. It may inspire new desires as well: proximity to wealth turns out to be nothing less than transformative. What is money, really, but a kind of belief?Taut, unsettling, and alive to the seductive distortions of money, Entitlement is a riveting tale for our new gilded age, a story that confidently considers questions about need and worth, race and privilege, philanthropy and generosity, passion and obsession. It is a provocative, propulsive novel about the American imagination.

New Directions Publishing Corporation Cremation
Book SynopsisAn overflowing, mesmeric masterpiece about greed from one of the most remarkable authors on the Spanish scene (The Guardian)Trade Review"Chirbes imbues the characters with passion and intellect...what emerges is a strong sense of late 20th-century Spanish culture and politics." -- Publishers Weekly"A man’s death stirs thoughts among his family and friends, who are also connected by their experience of Spain’s economic surge through the early aughts. A challenging excursion from one of Europe’s most distinctive voices." -- Kirkus, (Starred Review)"Utterly convincing in its psychological details, but also memorable for the beauty of its writing and rhythms." -- Colm Tóibín"Rafael Chirbes is a master of the kind of Spanish literature that shines most brightly in lyrical descriptive passages and powerful metaphors." -- Mara Faye Lethem - The New York Times"The works of the late Spanish novelist Rafael Chirbes offer a rebuke to what we might call lifestyle literature. Two of his final novels, Cremation and On the Edge, both published in translation by New Directions, reclaim a decayed form of modernism to castigate the late aughts’ feast of mammon." -- Dustin Illingworth - The Baffler"Chirbes' novel is a quite powerful book of testimonies and experiences, an indictment of post-Franco Spain that has barreled more or less blindly ahead, damn to many of the consequences." -- Complete Review

Harper Muse Tell Me Something Good
Book SynopsisThis is a writer that understands people down to the bones. Her characters are fallible and hopeful, flawed and loving, and so real they have stayed with me. --Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling authorA knockout. --Booklist Starred ReviewThis is a story of the rich and the very poor. This is a story of an illegal auction with dire consequences. This is a story of murders past and present. This is a story of intertwined relationships and the silent ripples they leave behind, where love becomes a guiding force, revealing the lengths one will go to protect those they cherish.Over twenty years ago, a young hunting guide in rural Kentucky was driving his boat in the early morning mist when his peaceful cruise was cut short by a scene so disturbing, he packed up and moved away. Nine women died early that morning, but it was linked to a similar crime in Texas, so the locals quickly wrote it off as having nothing to do with them.Now, all these years later, when everyone has nearly forgotten about that grisly part of their past, one man''s accidental death will bring everything back up to the surface. The locals who knew better can no longer claim it had nothing to do with them, and one woman, desperate to do whatever it takes to save her mother''s life, will learn that nearly everyone in her life has been lying to her.In Court Stevens''s adult debut, she delves deep into the heart of a community, where some will learn that we don''t always live to see the ripples we make, but we must make them all the same.
