How to Get Into the Twin Palms
How To Get Into the Twin Palms is the story of Anya, a young woman living in a Russian neighbourhood in Los Angeles, who struggles between retaining her parents'' Polish culture and trying to assimilate into her adopted community. She lusts after Lev, a Russian man who frequents the Twin Palms nightclub down the block from Anya''s apartment. It is Anya''s wish to gain entrance to this seemingly exclusive club. How To Get Into the Twin Palms is a funny, often moving, book that provides a unique twist on the immigrant story and a credible portrait of the city of Los Angeles, literally burning to the ground.
Crapalachia
Crapalachia is a portrait of Scott McClanahan''s formative years, coming of age in rural West Virginia, during a stretch of time where he was deeply influenced by his Grandma Ruby and Uncle Nathan, who suffered from cerebral palsy. Peopled by colourful characters and their quirky stories, Crapalachia interweaves oral folklore and area history, providing an ambitious and powerful snapshot of overlooked Americana. Beyond the artistry, there is an optimism, a genuine love for people and the past and memories. Even more, there is a grasp to bridge the disconnect between reader and writer, for McClanahan''s stories to bind us closer to one another.
