MASSIVE is the fourth book by John Trefry. MASSIVE is a text that exists eternally in the present of the reader. Every glimpse is new, in the moment, and transitory. Osip Mandelstam lives in exurban Atlanta under a totalitarian state called the ADA.
Katherine Haas came to the United States on a ship, at the young age of eleven. The next few decades unfolded a lifetime of adventure as this young Chinese-German woman navigated identity, culture, and politics in a world different from the one she was raised in.
Little Jade is Katherine's whimsical meditation on a life well lived. It seeks to answer questions around what makes us who we are, as she meanders through the valleys and troughs of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
I once woke from surgery to find that a faulty spinal catheter had kept painkillers from getting into me: Blake Butler's UXA.GOV brought this memory back. The book's a shock to the system, a storehouse of what you'll see and hear when it's your turn to hurt and hallucinate-it's visceral, inventively so, and visionary and filled with a feeling of inevitability. I found it both soothing and sick, a palliative in reverse.

Hersey James is the patriarch of both a TV family, and the family that mirrors them in real life. Apart from Glenn, who was only a child when The James Gang was cancelled from network TV in the late 1970s, the rest of Hersey's fictional daughters were played by actors based on their real life counterparts.
Kitty, his middle daughter, was replaced by Henry Elliot, and Beatrice, his oldest daughter, was replaced by Gretchen Williams. Both Beatrice and Kitty were scarred from spending the bulk of their childhoods in the shadows of the celebrities that played them on TV. They despise their father and have abandoned their childhood mansion and their youngest sister to escape their own trauma. That is, until Beatrice makes an unexpected return to the mansion with an old friend by her side, and a contract in her hand.
Beatrice pitches The James Gang: The Next Generation to her father. Newly sober and enraptured by the desire to mold her father's legacy into her own image, Beatrice offers her father one last chance to recapture his old fame. But this offer comes with a catch: In order for the new show to get off the ground, Beatrice must replace Glenn as the youngest sister on the show.
In the vein of stories such as Fanny & Zoe, King Lear, and Succession, The James Gang explores family dynamics, trauma, and the power of healing in a character driven, time-jumping story that is rich with theatrics, humor, and nods at contemporary culture.

A stunningly good debut novel . . . . Novels such as To Kill A Mockingbird and A Time To Kill set a high benchmark for the genre but A Hate Crime In Brooklyn raises it - and then some! What a great curtain raiser for a literary career. Netgalley Reviewer

Can justice prevail in a city torn by hate? The gripping debut legal thriller from US lawyer, David G. Secular
When Sofia Hushemi, a sheltered Albanian immigrant, carelessly collides with Sylvester Stanley on her way home from Prospect Park, both escape injury. Upon discovering the loss of her precious ring, gifted to her by Victor, the feared kingpin of the Albanian-American Mafia, she frantically presumes Sylvester, a Black man, was not a jogger, but a culprit. Hours later, Sylvester is attacked in broad daylight leaving Sofia facing life behind bars for allegedly ordering the attack.
The trial is a rollercoaster of surprises, penned by an author intimately familiar with the courtroom. Can Sofia escape conviction for the racially motivated crime which has polarized New York?
Gripping, thought-provoking and moving, A Hate Crime in Brooklyn, is much more than a story of yet another presumptuous attempt to kill a Black man solely because of the color of his skin. It is a tale of understanding and forgiveness for our troubled times and an unforgettable love story evolves, which will mesmerize and delight readers of all ages.

Throughout history, natural disasters, wars, disease and political upheaval have yielded heroes - models that in one way or another we can emulate and whose example holds up for us the finest of human instincts.
The heroes profiled here have all left footprints on the sands of time. Some of them are household names and some are not. First, there are the Classical Heroes, for whom the term hero was originally invented. Next, there are Archetypal Heroes, who model heroism for us in all its different manifestations.
Faith Heroes is a third category. Throughout history Christian faith has been one of the most significant motivators of heroic life and action. Finally, there are the All-American Heroes. While their lives would be no less heroic lived elsewhere, these champions illustrate, illuminate, and define our own uniquely American society and its history.
In sum, these pages proffer an inspiring romp through the centuries, meeting great men and women of all walks of life who may still have something to teach us today about life and about what we want our tomorrow to be.
