Book Description
“The end is coming….” A murdered legionnaire’s final words are a promise and a threat. For Harley Nearwater, a wandering nomad in the New Age of Discovery, those words serve as prophesy for a future rushing to engulf him. Humanity has cured its ills and lost its soul, but for the cunning, the ruthless, the brutal, there are so many possibilities. For Harley Nearwater, the world is ripe for the picking. While civilization lives in a digital paradise he fights to survive in the Wilderness, taking what he wants, killing when it suits him and answering to no one. Until the day his murder of a Federation legionnaire alters his course forever. “The end is coming,” she whispers. The Earth has grown tired of meddlesome humanity and Harley has put pieces into play before their time. His inclination for killing has upset the balance between good and evil and nature itself. For that, there will be a reckoning. The Earth rages. Humanity is hunted.

Book Description
Fourteen-year-old Harley Columba is convinced she's adopted. She's nothing like her abusive, alcoholic father or her bitter, romance novel-reading mother. They have brown eyes, but Harley's eyes are blue. They argue and drink and thrive in dreary suburbia while Harley paints, writes poetry, and longs for a different family and a better life. But then she finds a new, startling piece of evidence: a harlequin doll that's been hidden away for years, with a note around its neck: "Papa loves you forever and a day." Now Harley has genuine hope--hope that she can escape the chaos of the Columba household. Hope that she can find her real father. Tough, funny, and refreshingly honest, Harley, Like a Person is a compelling story of family, the power of creativity, and the enduring strength of self.

Book Description
Nominated for the National Book Award, Barry Hannah’s brilliant debut offers “a fresh angle on the great American subject of growing up” (John Updike). Roiling with love and torment, lunacy and desire, hilarity and tenderness, Geronimo Rex is the bildungsroman of an unlikely hero. Reared in gloomy Dream of Pines, Louisiana, whose pines have long since yielded to paper mills, Harry Monroe is ready to take on the world. Inspired by the great Geronimo’s heroic rampage through the Old West, Harry puts on knee boots and a scarf and voyages out into the swamp of adolescence in the South of the 1950s and ’60s. Along the way he is attacked by an unruly peacock; discovers women, rock ’n’ roll, and jazz; and stalks a pervert white supremacist who fancies himself the next Henry Miller in this “stunning piece of entertainment . . . vulgar, ribald, and wildly comic” (TheNew York Times). “Hannah writes about adolescence with a rare pizzazz and insight.” —Rolling Stone
