Nineteen Eighty-Four

by: George Orwell
"Thought Police." "Big Brother." "Orwellian." These words have entered our vocabulary because of George Orwell's classic dystopian novel, 1984. The story of one man's nightmare odyssey as he pursues a forbidden love affair through a world ruled by warring states and a power structure that controls not only information but also individual thought and memory, 1984 is a prophetic, haunting tale.

More relevant than ever before, 1984 exposes the worst crimes imaginable-the destruction of truth, freedom, and individuality.

ITCH: Luck and The Joke of Life, A Murder Mystery

by: Syd Harriet
Review: "This terrifying and rousing surreal literary thriller screeches about love and loss and the dark side of human behavior. "Itch" is a soul searching labyrinth of plots about good and bad luck in the comic style of Thomas Pynchon and David Foster Wallace. The lucky serial killer (He doesn't get caught) meets celebrities and politicians, all either advice givers or victims of a singer-novelist by night and a serial killer by day. If you never thought about how luck can make someone go ballistic, you will by the time you finish "Itch".

Not since the debut of Hunter S. Thompson or Thomas Pynchon has there been a book to emerge that speaks so clearly to a generation. Jay Fox’s debut novel, THE WALLS, is arguably the first iconic book from the Millennials.

Set in Brooklyn during the opening decade of the 21st century, Fox has captured the heartbeat, the zeitgeist, the essence of the echo boomers as they confront an uncertain future built upon a rapidly receding past.

The search, the hunt, the motivation to discover the truth presses Fox’s eclectic cast as they deal with their own lives, one day at a time.
