Dr Jacob Miller, a world renowned radiation oncologist whose cancer patients are dying suspiciously from their cancers after treatment that should have cured them, suspects something sinister behind their deaths-- even murder. He also suffers further turmoil when his romantic relationship ends, and, when flash backs occur to his own painful childhood as an orphan--he is brought to the bleak edge. Incredibly, he battles back to discover that terrorists are behind his patients being sent to early graves and are also plotting to explode a ‘dirty bomb’ in Boston. When Miller’s girlfriend is kidnapped by the terrorists, he recruits his friends and co-workers to help him save her and stop the terrorist bombing. If he fails his mission, he will not only fail his patients, but also the lives of countless thousands, and his country.

E. Annie Proulx's first novel, Postcards, winner of the 1993 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction, tells the mesmerizing tale of Loyal Blood, who misspends a lifetime running from a crime so terrible that it renders him forever incapable of touching a woman. Blood's odyssey begins in 1944 and takes him across the country from his hardscrabble Vermont hill farm to New York, across Ohio, Minnesota, and Montana to British Columbia, on to North Dakota, Wyoming, and New Mexico and ends, today, in California, with Blood homeless and near mad. Along the way, he must live a hundred lives to survive, mining gold, growing beans, hunting fossils and trapping, prospecting for uranium, and ranching. In his absence, disaster befalls his family; greatest among their terrible losses are the hard-won values of endurance and pride that were the legacy of farm people rooted in generations of intimacy with soil, weather, plants, and seasons. Postcards chronicles the lives of the rural and the dispossessed and charts their territory with the historical verisimilitude and writerly prowess of Cather, Dreiser, and Faulkner. It is a new American classic.

Migration is the most volatile sociopolitical issue of our time, as the current escalation of discourse and action in the United States and Europe concerning walls, border security, refugee camps, and deportations indicates. The essays by the international and interdisciplinary group of scholars assembled in this volume offer critical filters suggesting that this escalation and its historical precedents do not preclude redemptive counterstrategies. Encoded in narratives of affiliation and escape, these counterstrategies are variously launched as literary, cinematic, and civic interventions in past and present constructions of diasporic, migratory, or exilic identities. The essays trace these...
