Mural
He shot Granny in the face then murdered nineteen children and two teachers at Grape Valley Elementary School in far West Texas. So begins The Mural, Pulitzer-nominated war correspondent and author Sid Balman''s fictional account of the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that shook the US to its core. The Mural is told from the perspective of Jasper Losoya, an artist from the fictional West Texas town of Grape Valley who is commissioned, along with others, to paint commemorative murals of the victims of a recent mass shooting in the town square. When he initially receives news of the tragedy, Losoya is at work restoring an ancient mural in Pompeii with his assistant, Coraline Larkin, a young Irish woman who lost her hearing and her father in a Belfast bombing when they receive news of the mass murder. Once he sets to work on the mural, Losoya''s art sparks a controversy over censorship and cancel culture that lands in the US Supreme Court, dividing a ''half-mast nation'' as it lurches from one trauma to another. Penned by the author of the award-winning Seventh Flag trilogy, The Mural is an unforgettable journey through the modern American West - and a cautionary tale for the entire nation.

Selected Papers of Coomaraswamy, Volume 1
A collection of important essays by a pioneering interpreter of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology“Brilliant.”—Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces“Varied, imaginative, incredibly learned. . . . Fascinating.”—John Kenneth Galbraith, New York Times Book ReviewAnanda K. Coomaraswamy (1877–1947) was a pioneer in the study of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology—and in the cultural meeting of East and West. A scholar in the tradition of the great Indian grammarians and philosophers, an art historian convinced that the ultimate value of art transcends history, and a social thinker influenced by William Morris, Coomaraswamy was a unique figure whose works provide virtually a complete education in themselves. Finding a universal tradition in past cultures ranging from the Hellenic and Christian to the Indian, Islamic, and Chinese, he presented his ideas in numerous essays. This volume includes a selection of his essays on art and symbolism that were written in the 1930s and 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers.
The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century, Volume 1 (LOA #394)
A diverse, unprecedented gathering of more than one hundred stories, representing work by fifty different writers. As much a nineteenth-century American invention as the cotton gin and the steamboat, the short story emerged here with a range of innovation and a variety of styles and subjects that has still not been fully appreciated. Diverse, wide-ranging, and unprecedented in its scope, The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century gathers more than one hundred stories by fifty different writers. This first volume of Library of America''s two-volume collection of nineteenth-century American short fiction tracks the development of the American short story from Charles Brockden Brown''s fragments and Washington Irving''s sketches to Poe''s gothic tales of horror to Mark Twain''s humourous stories. Represented here by generous selections are all the major figures-Irving, Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, and Twain-as well as Rose Terry Cooke, also a major writer, restored to a place of prominence in this anthology with three unforgettable masterpieces. Among the many unexpected writers in this volume are: William Austin, so crucial to the development of Hawthorne and Poe; the antebellum Black writer and physician James McCune Smith, whose sketches in his ''Heads of the Colored People'' series lampooned the pseudoscientific racism of phrenology; Lucretia Hale, the author of the feminist fantasy ''The Queen of the Red Chessman,'' perhaps the greatest one-hit wonder of the mid-nineteenth century; Francis Parkman, whose early magazine fiction remains unknown today even to many scholars; and Fitz-James O''Brien, the author of such unnerving horror stories as ''The Lost Room'' and ''What Was It?,'' whose true themes and concerns twenty-first century readers, accustomed to reading gay fiction, will not miss. Unrivalled in its range and textual authority, the anthology includes biographies of each writer, a chronology of writers and the American short story from 1800 to 1900, and extensive notes.

This Chinese fantasy (xianxia) comedy built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been translated into numerous languages and inspired the animated series Scumbag System, which amassed millions of streaming views.
The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century, Volume 2 (LOA #395)
A diverse, unprecedented gathering of more than one hundred stories, representing work by fifty different writers. As much a nineteenth-century American invention as the cotton gin and the steamboat, the short story emerged here with a range of innovation and a variety of styles and subjects that has still not been fully appreciated. Diverse, wide-ranging, and unprecedented in its scope, The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century gathers more than one hundred stories by fifty different writers. This second volume of The Library of America''s two-volume anthology of nineteenth-century American short fiction follows the evolution of American short story from Bret Harte''s mid-century tales of the Gold Rush frontier to Alice Dunbar-Nelson''s ''The Stones of the Village,'' a story about racial passing written around 1900 but not published in the author''s lifetime. Henry James, generously represented in this volume, dominates the second half of the century, though also represeanted here are the accomplishments of the so-called local-colour writers associated with the post-Civil War period. The indelible stories of Sarah Orne Jewett and Kate Chopin are justly celebrated examples of this strain, and those writers are represented by several stories, but ample space is also given here to stories by Constance Fenimore Woolson and Mary Wilkins Freeman. The reader will also discover the short fiction of Stephen Crane, in whose work naturalism finds its perfect aesthetic and philosophical expressionas well as the indispensable stories of such Black writers as Charles W. Chesnutt and Paul Laurence Dunbar. The unexpected selection of Thomas Nelson Page''s ''Marse Chan'' provides the context for Chesnutt''s groundbreaking explorations of racial identity and his use of African American speech and folklore. Other surprises in this volume include Francis Hopkinson Smith''s minor comic masterpiece ''Six House in Squantico,'' about a town left behind in the post-bellum South. Unrivalled in its range and textual authority, the anthology includes biographies of each writer, a chronology of writers and the American short story from 1800 to 1900, and extensive notes.

Supersonic
“Masterfully rendered and mercilessly readable. Kohnstamm populates these pages with insight, hilarity, emotion, and unforgettable characters. Supersonic is a novel with so much narrative propulsion that it manages to live up to its name.” —Jonathan Evison, author of Small World and Lawn BoyWhen PTA president Sami Hasegawa-Stalworth petitions to rename a Seattle elementary school after her late grandmother, she ignites a battle over the school’s future and the history of its surrounding neighborhood. Supersonic launches readers into a kaleidoscopic tale of the generations of interrelated families who breathed life into that small, hilltop community.The story cuts in time from the arrival of white settlers’ ships to the last indigenous landowner fighting to hold on to scraps of his ancestral home and back to the school’s PTA auction. It interweaves an opioid-addicted nineteenth-century con man–cum–civic booster, a disgraced Navy seaman building an airplane that travels faster than sound, a stay-at-home dad hustling to open the city’s first legal weed shop and Sami’s grandmother, a survivor of Japanese American incarceration during World War II, who founded the school’s once-celebrated music program.The novel traces their false starts, triumphs, and heartbreaks through the booms and busts of the Yukon gold rush, the jet age, Big Tech, and beyond. By exploring the converging and often clashing personalities that make up the dynamic soul of a place, Supersonic illuminates themes of identity, displacement, destruction, and reinvention that give rise to all great American cities.
