The Talking Room

The Talking Room reflects an apocalyptic vision of the late 20th century, seen through the eyes of a pregnant 13 year old who may or may not be a test tube baby.  The Lesbian relationship between the mother J-wild, lost, beautiful-and competent Aunt V, a business woman, reveals itself to the reader as "the talking room" becomes the sounding board for endless fights, endless reconciliations.  V's desperate search for the beloved J through the nights of waterfront bars is lightened by wildly comic excursions reminiscent of our great American humorists.  With wit, poetic clarity and compassion, Marianne Hauser explores the paradoxes of our age-need for love yet flight from love, search for self yet self-destruction- a dilemma sared alike by today's heterosexual and homosexual world.  The author's multifaceted view defies dogma or simplification as her characters draw us into their turbulent and deeply human drama.

Hauser, Marianne

Genre Fiction

Taking its place among postmodern classics, this novel makes a shambles of traditional fiction and conventional modes of writings with effrontery and laughter.

Take It or Leave It

Federman, Raymond

Contemporary

A man removing the skin of a woman and wearing it, a package containing human wrists that spawn human body parts, a trip through Tennessee searching for fictional material, the ubiquitous number 43, are four separate stories that come together to form Moving Parts. You follow the author through several communes, greyhound bus trips, and a Cherokee burial ground, always searching but not finding anything. The obsession of the author with Wendy Appel, the human wrists, the number 43, become his identity. Moving Parts is a unique look into the mind and traveling of the author.

Moving Parts

Katz, Stephen

I Smell Esther Williams and Other Stories

A community theater's production of Special Yearnings triggers a string of underground nuclear explosions from St. Louis to Worcester, Massachusetts. A man frantically swats at the blaze that his girlfriend has ignited in his trousers, while her family tries to figure out whether his agonized sign language means "Under the Volcano" or "No Time for Sergeants." Charo, Marianne Faithfull, and Napoleon's sister swap glittering witticisms and pornographic come-ons with languid aesthetes and unhinged suburbanites. Such scenarios are just par for the course in this gloriously disorienting volume by Mark Leyner, author of My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist and Et Tu, Babe, and a writer who plays the English language the way Jimi Hendrix played the guitar: at blinding speed, dangerous volume, and with a perfect mixture of lyricism and sheer menace.
