Poignant, raw, and insightful, Jennifer Gilmore’s third novel is an unforgettable story of love, family, and motherhood. With a “voice [that is] at turns wise and barbed with sharp humor” (Vanity Fair), Gilmore lays bare the story of one couple’s ardent desire for a child and their emotional journey through adoption. Jesse and Ramon are a loving couple, but after years spent unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant, they turn to adoption, relieved to think that once they navigate the bureaucratic path to parent-hood they will have a happy ending. But nothing has prepared them for the labyrinthine process—for the many training sessions and approvals; for the constant advice from friend...
Listening to Confraternities offers new perspectives on the contribution of guild and devotional confraternities to the urban phonosphere based on original research and an interdisciplinary approach. Historians of art, architecture, culture, sound, music and the senses consider the ways in which, through their devotional practices, confraternities acted as patrons of music, created their identity through sound and were involved in the everyday musical experience of major cities in early modern Europe. Confraternities have been studied from many different angles, but only rarely as acoustic communities that communicated through sound and whose musical activities delimited the urban spaces in which they were active. Contributors: Nicholas Terpstra, Emanuela Vai, Ana López Suero, Henry Drummond, Ascensión Mazuela-Anguita, Ferrán Escrivà-Llorca, Noel O’Regan, Magnus Williamson, Xavier Torres Sans, Erika Honisch, Alexander Fisher, Konrad Eisenbichler, Daniele Filippi, Dylan Reid, Elisa Lessa, Antonio Ruiz Caballero, Juan Ruiz Jiménez, Sergi González González, and Tess Knighton.
When a military tyrant named Waxman receives covert communications from an agent believed lost in deep space, he prepares his army of giant soldiers for war with a faceless, deadly enemy known as the Shrie Shrie and an elusive driver named Cal. Believing he has the upper hand, Waxman dispatches his own army of giant soldiers to lay down a path for annihilation. But his trust begins to waver when two of his strongest soldiers in Kayanai Blu and Iran Crowne begin to show signs of possible desertion or worse, treason. As Kayanai wrestles with his own conscience, Waxman must entrust Jevan Khran, another waxen soldier whose prodigal return has made her his confidant to keep both Kayanai and Iran to the task at hand. Yet with her own unique ability to fly the enemy ships that can travel the distance of space with the speed of a mere thought, she too finds herself cast under the quantum guise of being untrustworthy. For like herself in this ability to fly alien technology endures Cal, the one responsible for the ceasefire to the lost war Waxman so desperately wants restored. And now Waxman will finish it.
