Rum Punch
From America's top writer of hardboiled crime, the novel that became Tarantino's hit film JACKIE BROWN. Ordell Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell's profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie - and now the aging, but still hot, flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime 'loose end' that Ordell needs to tie up...permanently. Jackie, however, has other plans. And with the help of Max Cherry - an honest but disgruntled bail bondsman looking to get out - she could even end up with a serious nest egg in the process.

"What do a sexy stewardess, a street-tough gun runner, a lonely bail bondsman, a shifty ex-con, an over ambitious cop and stoned-out beach bunny have in common? They're all chasing a $ 1/2 million in cash ..." [box cover note].

" Comment Quentin Tarantino allait-il réagir à l'engouement unanime déclenché par " Reservoir Dogs " et " Pulp Fiction " ? Son statut de réalisateur-star allait-il émousser sa maestria cinématographique ? Il répond enfin avec son troisième film, " Jackie Brown ". (...) Du pur Tarantino, sans compromis, vif et brillant. " Philippe Garnier, Les Inrockuptibles. " On retrouve d'emblée dans " Jackie Brown " ce qui a fait la marque du cinéaste : un précieux mélange de violence, d'humour et de dialogues dévastateurs. Plus linéaire que ceux de " Reservoir Dogs " et " Pulp Fiction ", le script laisse néanmoins apparaître une construction très cinématographique avec bancs-titres et fondus au noir. Sans oublier ces diversions inopinées (...) portées par une bande-son aux couleurs très Rythm & Blues. Enfin, comme toujours chez Tarantino, on a affaire à une poignée de malfrats liés par le destin. A ceci près que, cette fois, le leader de la bande est une femme : Jackie Brown, alias Pam Grier. " Christophe d'Yvoire, Studio Magazine.
Little Cricket
Twelve-year-old Kia Yang-nicknamed "Little Cricket"-has always lived among her extended family in their tiny Laotian village. But their peaceful lives are shattered one day when North Vietnamese soldiers destroy much of their village, and Kia and her family are forced to escape the encroaching war. After three years in a Thai refugee camp, they finally receive heartbreaking news: only Kia, her brother, Xigi, and their grandfather may emigrate to America. In Minnesota, Kia is overwhelmed by her new life, isolated by culture and language. It is only when Xigi gets into big trouble and Grandfather becomes ill that Kia discovers that they are not as alone as she thought-and that others are more isolated than she'd realized. Set in Laos and Minnesota in the 1970s, this is a powerful first novel from a promising writer.
Quentin Tarantino
Not since Martin Scorsese in the mid-1970s has a young American filmmaker made such an instant impact on international cinema as Quentin Tarantino, whose PULP FICTION won the Cannes Film Festival's Grand Prix Award. A manic talker, Tarantino obsesses about American pop culture and his favorite movies and movie makers.
