D. Foy's second novel is a tornado of brutal Americana. Patricide is a heavy metal Huck Finn that whips up the haunted melancholy of Kerouac's Doctor Sax, a novel of introspection and youth in its corruption that seethes with the deadly obsession of Moby-Dick, and the darkness of Joy Williams' State of Grace. Beyond the story of a boy growing up in a family derailed by a hapless father, Patricide is a search for meaning and identity within the strange secrecy of the family. This is an existential novel of wild power, of memories, and of...

by

James Joyce

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the first novel of Irish writer James Joyce. A KUnstlerroman in a modernist style, it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology.

With shades of Scott Westerfeld's Uglies and Ally Condie's Matched, this dark, cinematic dystopian novel--the first in the thrilling Eye of the Beholder series--is set in a near future society in which "right" and "wrong" are manifested by beauty and ugliness.

In Grace Luther's world, morality is physically enforced. Those who are "good" are blessed with beauty, while those who are not suffer horrifying consequences--disfigurement, or even death. When the cleric's daughter stumbles onto information that proves her world is more complicated than it seems, she finds...
