The Wealthy Whites of Williamsburg
The upper-middle-class White family lives happily in trendy Williamsburg, NYC. Mom Casey runs her own business; dad Roger teaches film at NYU. But they have secrets big enough to destroy a marriage. As the two daughters examine their privilege, will inclusivity and trust funds be enough to save them? “… a deeply satisfying story that’s written with intelligence and wit, and—like the on-the-go White family—never stays in one place too long.”—Kirkus Reviews Winner of Best LGBTQ Novel at the San Francisco Book Festival. For fans of Where’d You Go, Bernadette?
Criminals
It’s 1991. Young gay American Conner has found refuge in Tokyo after a rough coming out in Los Angeles. But a spectacular economic meltdown has crushed Japan’s high-flying dreams, and now Tokyo is going sour for Conner, too. He’s turned to crime to bail out an ex-boyfriend, he's alienating friends and he's started sleeping with a woman. When a crime scheme goes south, he scours Tokyo’s dimly lit night scene for a solution. Conner and fellow refuge-seeker Marika, who has fled a failing suburban marriage for her own big city ambitions, agree to a shady caper that may save or doom them both. As gangsters, grifters and police close in, the two must grapple with questions of crime and honesty, and to whom—and whose laws—they should be loyal. Selected by Kirkus Reviews as a Best Book of 2022.
Red Dot
In a world where everyone makes good decisions… After the disaster of global warming, the world has finally gotten its act together. People are positive, sensible, and creating a better future and a just present. What could possibly go wrong? Well, other people. Mardy is a twenty-something gay man dreaming of becoming a fulltime machine-tool artist. He brims with ideas, puts in the hours, has a solid circle of artist buddies—and forbidden friendships with supportive artificial intelligences. But he’s always coming in second to an irritatingly successful rival. When he meets the rival’s twin, unexpected consequences drive Mardy to pursue not only his artistic passions but also love. And he might just possibly make the world a better place in the process.
The Language of Localization
The Language of Localization defines 52 terms that every business professional should know, even professionals who do not specialize in localization. In a global market, every business person needs to understand the importance of localization and be able to speak intelligently with localization professionals. Each term was authored by an expert practitioner who provided a short definition, a statement of why that term is important, and an essay that explains why a business professional or localization practitioner should understand the term. The Language of Localization covers everything from basic terms, such as translation, to the latest concepts, such as augmented translation and machine translation. In addition there are short definitions of 70 additional business, linguistics, and standards terms. For those who want to dig deeper, there are more than 150 references for further exploration. Expertly compiled and edited by Katherine Brown-Hoekstra, this book is a useful reference for localization experts, managers, students, and any business person who works in a global market.
