She has decided to join her radical cousin Chava in the Jewish Labor Bund on the eve of the Russian Revolution, leaving behind her work in a Chicago sweatshop and the lover who jilted her. Her warm reunion with her cousin is tainted by political intrigue. Anna is not fully trusted by the Jewish radicals she grew up with in Ukraine. She is given minor tasks, while Chava's assignments become more dangerous. The threat of betrayal is constantly lurking. When Chava is arrested and imprisoned, Anna's efforts to rescue her cousin further alienate her from her Bund comrades. When she is threatened with arrest by the Tsarists, Anna is undone, fighting for survival in a strife-torn land"--Page 4 of cover.]]></description><link>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7468635</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7468635</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Elinson, Elaine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7468635093</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798897409242/MC.GIF&amp;client=sfpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1596240401</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wild Love]]></title><description><![CDATA["Are you a fellow BL academic looking to learn more about the animal kingdom?

It only buys a gold coffin. The real currency is having the right allies. Low-citizens survive by joining high-citizens' exclusive inner circles, trading loyalty for protection from laws that govern speech, dress, and posture--and punish mistakes with public beheading. Low-citizen Loredana Waldsten already knows the cost of breaking the rules. Once a rising fencing prodigy, she lost the right to carry weapons after killing a high-citizen in a brutal locker-room attack. The courts erased his death to preserve his family's honor. Now she's unarmed, legally defenseless, and enrolled at the elite Grandmaster University, where champagne spills into the gutters and reputations are built on death duels. When Loredana's father, a low-citizen politician, publicly challenges the high-citizens, she becomes a target. Some classmates demand her execution. Others hunt her for sport. And by law, she's forbidden to fight back. Her only chance of survival lies with Edmund Prew, a charming yet ruthless high-citizen student she's been warned against. His family has been locked in a bitter feud with Loredana's for years, and he wants nothing to do with her until a lost bet forces him to protect her within his inner circle. What begins as a scandalous, strategic alliance turns perilous as they fall for each other. Because the man Loredana killed was more than an average high-citizen. And if Edmund ever learns the truth, the only person keeping Loredana alive may become the one most determined to kill her."-- Back cover.]]></description><link>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474993</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474993</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Birde, Edith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7474993093</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798993467917/MC.GIF&amp;client=sfpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1593475478</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children of Light]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the far reaches of the Andromeda Galaxy, a supernova obliterates the homeworld of the Zors, an advanced alien race.

Incorporating material from his novels, essays, screenplays and plays, it argues that his interaction with antiquity was central to the way in which he viewed himself, his writing, and his world. Divided between the three primary subjects of his writing - sex, politics and religion - this book traces the lengthy dialogue between Vidal and antiquity over the course of his sixty-year career. Broughall analyses Vidal's portrayals of the ancient past in novels such as Julian (1964), Creation (1981) and Live from Golgotha (1992). He also shows how classical literature inspired Vidal's other fiction, such as The City and the Pillar (1948), Myra Breckinridge (1968), and his Narratives of Empire (1967-2000) novels. Beyond his fiction, Broughall examines the ways in which antiquity influenced Vidal's careers as a playwright, an essayist and a satirist, and evaluate the influence of classical authors and their works upon him. Of interest to students and scholars in classical studies, reception studies, American politics and literature, and the work of Gore Vidal, this volume presents an original perspective on one of the most provocative writers and intellectuals in post-war American letters. It offers new insights into Vidal's attitudes, influences, and beliefs, and throws fresh light upon his patrician self-fashioning and his mercurial output"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474498</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474498</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Broughall, Quentin J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7474498093</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Sex, Politics and Religion</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781032285337/MC.GIF&amp;client=sfpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1312197381</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Envy]]></title><description><![CDATA["Yuri Olesha's novella Envy brings together cutting social satire, slapstick humor, and a wild visionary streak.

Every new world granted him the means to conquer his destiny and embrace something bigger than himself, a fate beyond the confines of his own reality.

The night Clay Lockhart's wife dies, a violent storm tears their home - and the eight hectares of land beneath it - away from the Scottish coast, sending it adrift into the Atlantic. Thirty years later, twelve-year-old Ellie Mills discovers the fabled floating island off the coast of Nova Scotia and finds Clay still living in the weatherworn farmhouse perched on its highest hill. When the island vanishes overnight, Ellie is left questioning whether it ever existed at all. But decades later, now in her thirties, the island resurfaces - and Ellie returns, determined to uncover the truth. What she finds is even stranger: Clay hasn't aged a single day. Faced with the impossible, Ellie learns that some mysteries aren't meant to be solved - and that a life shaped by wonder may hold more promise than one bound by certainty. Spanning centuries and coastlines, Habits of the Sea is a haunting, romantic journey through time, memory, and the invisible tides that pull us home"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474456</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474456</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ernshaw, Shea]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7474456093</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668097731/MC.GIF&amp;client=sfpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1549670565</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steelborn]]></title><description><![CDATA["When a notorious thief is hired for an impossible quest by a faerie warrior cursed to die, she discovers more power than she knew she was capable of and unexpectedly intense feelings for her frustratingly attractive companion"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474482</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474482</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[LaRue, Taylor J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7474482093</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316599412/MC.GIF&amp;client=sfpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1529968011</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Weakest Tamer Began A Journey to Pick up Trash]]></title><description><![CDATA["After parting ways with Marya, Ivy and her friends continue on their journey.

Agnes is wasting away. In a bed of velvet and silk, she dreams of death-and Mary. Mary-a wraith with bloodstained gown and mouth-drips mystery and menace. She materializes beside a lake, beneath a pear tree, outside the window. She turns servants feral and plunges the manor into anarchy. Since her arrival, nothing is right. The maids snarl. The nights grow strange. Agnes swoons. Her brother, Arthur, calls it a sickness. A curse. He stalks the halls with scissors in his fist. He wants purity and order. He'll strike out the unintelligible. He is not the only one. Others have begun to stir-jilted lovers, disgraced doctors, moralists with sharpened knives. The disorder is spreading. It's riotous. Contagious. They'll purify the world in flame. Written partially through footnotes and with a mystery of interwoven red text, Agnes, We're Not Murderers! is an atmospheric gothic vampire journey for fans of Kathe Koja and Mark Z.

Colette herself was unequivocal: "I believe it to be my best book." Through strikingly vivid and evocative portraits, many of them of her friends and lovers, Colette explores varieties of sexual expression, gender identity, love, and sensual pleasure. Decades ahead of its time in contemplating queerness and women's sexuality, The Pure and the Impure provides a fascinating window into the sexual demimondes of the Parisian Belle Époque: We meet cross-dressing lesbians, a sapphic poet, Don Juans male and female, the circle of gay men whose companionship saw Colette through the difficult years of her first marriage, and Colette's onetime lover Missy-La Chevalière-who might today be a transgender man. At the same time, the book offers a unique portrait of a complex and often contradictory character: Colette herself. The "brilliantly ingenious" (Lydia Davis) translator Rachel Careau offers readers a lean, elegant, and highly readable rendition that reproduces Colette's extraordinary musicality, making her "perfect, lapidary and truth-bearing sentences" (Terry Castle) sing for English readers.]]></description><link>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474477</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S93C7474477</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Colette]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7474477093</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324075233/MC.GIF&amp;client=sfpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1535850909</image_url></item></channel></rss>
