"In a near-future Southern city, everyone is talking about a new experimental medical procedure that boasts unprecedented success rates. In a society plagued by racism, segregation, and private prisons, this operation saves lives with a controversial method--by turning people white. Like any father, our unnamed narrator just wants the best for his son Nigel, a biracial boy whose black birthmark is getting bigger by the day. But in order to afford Nigel's whiteness operation, our narrator must make partner as one of the few black associates at his law firm, jumping through a series of increasingly absurd hoops--from diversity committees to plantation tours to equality activist groups--in a tragicomic quest to protect his son. This electrifying, suspenseful novel is, at once, a razor-sharp satire of surviving racism in America and a profoundly moving family story. In the tradition ofRalph Ellison's Invisible Man, We Cast a Shadow fearlessly shines a light on the violence we inherit, and on the desperate things we do for the ones we love"--

His hobbies include cartoon drawing, karate, singing, and playing guitar. He also enjoys board games, Keno, and blackjack.

An old chest. Rosewood. No, camphor, aromatic, intricately carved, scenes from some fairy tale -- maiden tames fierce beast. Something you simply happen upon. Its contents stunning, treasure, garlands of pearls, gold coins, taffeta, rubies, emeralds, silks, velvets, musk, maybe even tweed. Dip your hands into it, bury your face in what’s lifted up, then spills back down through your fingers. Thus, the crisp, sweet language of Amoretti itself cascades, a gorgeous, elegant, yet fierce and precise, consistent delimitation. These poor words of mine lack all the beauty and subtlety of the poems they try so hard to tell you about, give you news of. Luscious and carnal, not a wrong note. Sterling music. Billie Chernicoff’s work surveys then traces a path through the garden of itself, never fumbles describing its captivities therein: animal, mineral, vegetal, angelic. Her rhetoric is flawless. Deceptively delicate, its vocabulary surprises. Just as the nuance of feeling remains absolute yet immediate. —Thomas Meyer For our words touch things (they do!) and, touching them, unbind this world. But nowhere, least of all in Billie’s poetry, is this unbinding any sort of loss. She has said “alkahest” stronger than anyone has, and has freed this world into our being, our measuring, our range we discover as we read her—how far and how near we can be in her spiritual sight. Meanwhile Billie waits with Solomon in her arms, waits a while under a native cedar, trusting all things, trees and you. She trusts the word, writes one, and allows this one, properly, all of the time in this world. She trusts the word and, when it is time, I am amazed to say, it praises her with its own completed silence. Then silence honors her with another word, this one, a sheaf of the world to come. —Joel Newberger

Now recalled from exile and disgrace, he is second-in-command of the reconstituted regiment -- a motley band of misfits who are elves in name alone. Konowa's destiny is to stand against the looming threat of the Shadow Monarch, whose destructive ambitions have called down an alien power from the stars and riven the land with all manner of ancient evils. The same Shadow Monarch whose tainted mark he bears... His quest leads Konowa deep into the desert wastes: the burning lands to which the original Iron Elves were banished. There he and his current companions must face trials beyond their imagining, to learn how to defeat the Shadow Monarch for all time.

Old ways are pitted against new horrors in this compellingly crafted, “atmospherically beautiful” (Kirkus Reviews) dystopian tale about a girl who is both healer and seer. Two hundred years from now, blood has become the most valuable commodity on the planet—especially the blood of aboriginal peoples, for it contains antibodies that protect them from the Plague ravaging the rest of the world. Sixteen-year-old Cassandra Mercredi might be immune to the Plague, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe—government forces are searching for those of aboriginal heritage to harvest their blood. When a search threatens Cassandra and her family, they flee to the Island: a mysterious and idyllic territory protected by the Band, a group of guerilla warriors—and by an enigmatic energy barrier that keeps outsiders out and the spirit world in. And though the village healer has taken her under her wing, and the tribal leader’s son into his heart, the creatures of the spirit world are angry, and they have chosen Cassandra to be their voice and instrument... Incorporating the traditions of the First Peoples as well as the more familiar stories of Greek mythology and Arthurian legend, Shadows Cast by Stars is a haunting, beautifully written story that breathes new life into ancient customs.

In this wide-ranging discussion of events and ideas, Baudrillard moves between poetry and waterfalls, strikes and stealth bombers, Freud and La Cicciolina, shadows and simulacra, deconstruction and the zodiac, Reagan's smile and Kennedy's death, the "curse" on South America and the future of the West, the last tango of French intellectual life and the exemplary disappearing act of Italian politics. Writing at the site where the philosophic and the poetic merge, he once again offers us commentary in the form of the riveting insight, the short distillation of reality that establishes its truth with the force of recognition.
