Peter, a habitual peep show visitor, dreads dirt, fears contamination, and lives each day certain he will go mad. He adheres strictly to many self-imposed rituals, hoping to contain the demons in his head. One day, he meets John, a chronically ill, mental patient. They form an odd, but deep bond, affecting each others' lives. In the end, John dies triggering Peter's long awaited breakdown, which he learns is no big deal. 
A literary novel, Peter is both serious and humorous. Odd as they may be, the types most people turn away from, Peter and John share with the rest of us basic needs to live without fear and be in charge of our destinies. In the book, I take controversial positions on the mentally ill, psychiatric treatment, sex and pornography, and raise many pressing questions, i.e.: Are neglected and abused children better off protected or left alone? Is smoking really bad? Does fellatio violate Jewish dietary laws?

Infidelity is the story of one family and three marriages. It is also a story that resonates in many American marriages. In seamless prose and a mesmerizing voice, rich scenes move characters across the span of the twentieth century and three continents. 
Pearlman mines a universal vein in her bluntly honest memoir of infidelity, which tells the tale of the effects of marital infidelity across three generations of American women: her grandmother, her mother, and herself. 
As the women coped with the intensity the father and grandfathers adulteries added, Ann learned of the wisdom, pain, and female strength the mens behavior provoked. 
As the 1960s rolled in with the sexual political revolution, Ann lived "la dolce vita" in Europe. Following the construction of the Berlin Wall, she returned to the US to complete her studies. She fell in love with Tyrone, an African-American professional football player and artist, and together they took part in the civil rights movement. They helped each other obtain graduate degrees and forged dual careers, raising adopted and biological children. Tyrone became a University professor teaching painting and Ann became a psychotherapist and marriage and family counselor. She wrote a book on the joys of sexual monogamy and embarked on an authors tour appearing on TV talk shows (Oprah, Donahue, Sally Jesse Raphael) as an expert on marriage. 
Then, as the twentieth century was drawing to a close, their ten-year-old daughter discovered her fathers affair with a married Japanese woman from a distinguished family. Once again, Ann was forced to revisit infidelity, an echo from the previous generation. 
Infidelity: a Memoir is the book every married man and woman should. Ann Pearlman is on her way to becoming a major literary voice.

Lucy Fooshee has just married Bob Bybee, the second-richest farmer in the county if you don't count the Winklejohns -- and who'd want a name like Winklejohn, anyway? Add her enviable hubby to the local beauty queen titles she's won on account of her slim figure, full lips, and all-around good looks, and Lucy's the most envied young woman in Palmyra, Illinois. The most admired by men, too. Funny thing, though: now that she's married, no one even seems to notice anymore, and Lucy's feeling irritable. So when Billy Lee -- a stranger with no prospects -- comes to town and sees her in a whole new way, he upsets Lucy's applecart. Sure, she's got everything anyone in Palmyra could want, but maybe that's just not enough.
With her striking humor and picture-perfect observations about life in a small town, Alison Clement tells the hilarious, lusty, and ultimately touching story of a fiercely independent woman trapped in the body of a small-town beauty queen.

Twilight

A Southern gothic novel about an undertaker who won’t let the dead rest. Suspecting that something is amiss with their father’s burial, teenager Kenneth Tyler and his sister Corrie venture to his gravesite and make a horrific discovery: their father, a whiskey bootlegger, was not actually buried in the casket they bought for him. Worse, they learn that the undertaker, Fenton Breece, has been grotesquely manipulating the dead. Armed with incriminating photographs, Tyler becomes obsessed with bringing the perverse undertaker to justice. But first, he must outrun Granville Sutter, a local strongman and convicted murderer hired by Fenton to destroy the evidence. What follows is an adventure through the Harrikin, an eerie backwoods filled with tangled roads, rusted machinery, and eccentric squatters–old men, witches, and families among them–who both shield and imperil Tyler as he runs for safety. With his poetic, haunting prose, William Gay rewrites the rules of the gothic fairy tale while exploring the classic Southern themes of good and evil.
