Eileen (ISBN 9781594206627 $25.95) by Ottessa Moshfegh
A lonely young woman working in a boys’ prison outside Boston in the early 60s is
pulled into a very strange crime, in a mordant, harrowing story of obsession and
suspense, by one of the brightest new voices in fiction
So here we are. My name was Eileen Dunlop. Now you
know me. I was twenty-four years old then, and had a job
that paid fifty-seven dollars a week as a kind of secretary at
a private juvenile correctional facility for teenage boys. I
think of it now as what it really was for all intents and
purposes—a prison for boys. I will call it Moorehead. Delvin
Moorehead was a terrible landlord I had years later, and so
to use his name for such a place feels appropriate.
In a week, I would run away from home and never go back.
This is the story of how I disappeared.
The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen
Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman
trapped between her role as her alcoholic father’s
caretaker in a home whose squalor is the talk of the
neighborhood and a day job as a secretary at the boys’
prison, filled with its own quotidian horrors. Consumed
by resentment and self-loathing, Eileen tempers her
dreary days with perverse fantasies and dreams of escaping to the big city. In the
meantime, she fills her nights and weekends with shoplifting, stalking a buff prison
guard named Randy, and cleaning up her increasingly deranged father’s messes. When
the bright, beautiful, and cheery Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new
counselor at Moorehead, Eileen is enchanted and proves unable to resist what appears
at first to be a miraculously budding friendship. In a Hitchcockian twist, her affection for
Rebecca ultimately pulls her into complicity in a crime that surpasses her wildest
imaginings.
Played out against the snowy landscape of coastal New England in the days leading up
to Christmas, young Eileen’s story is told from the gimlet-eyed perspective of the now
much older narrator. Creepy, mesmerizing, and sublimely funny, in the tradition of
Shirley Jackson and early Vladimir Nabokov, this powerful debut novel enthralls and
shocks, and introduces one of the most original new voices in contemporary literature.
Wind/Pinball by Haruki Murakami (ISBN 9780385352123 $25.95)
In the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began
to write. The result: two remarkable short novels—Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball,
1973—that launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time.

Show Me a Hero (ISBN 9780316391351
$17.00)
HBO miniseries starting 8/16/15
Not in my backyard -- that's the refrain commonly
invoked by property owners who oppose unwanted
development. Such words assume a special ferocity
when the development in question is public housing.
Lisa Belkin penetrates the prejudices, myths, and
heated emotions stirred by the most recent trend in
public housing as she re-creates a landmark case in
riveting detail, showing how a proposal to build
scattered-site public housing in middle-class
neighborhoods nearly destroyed an entire city and
forever changed the lives of many of its citizens.
-- Public housing projects are being torn down
throughout the United States. What will take their
place? Show Me a Hero explores the answer.
-- An important and compelling work of narrative
nonfiction in the tradition of J. Anthony Lukas's
Common Ground.
-- A sweeping yet intimate group portrait that assesses the effects of public policy on
individual human lives.

Something really strange is happening in the
City by the Bay. People are dying, but their souls
are not being collected for ascension. Someone
or something is stealing them and no one knows
where they are going, or why, but it has
something to do with that big orange bridge.
Death merchant Charlie Asher is just as
flummoxed as everyone else. He’s still trapped in
the body of a fourteen-inch-tall “meat puppet
waiting for his Buddhist nun girlfriend, Audrey, to
find him a suitable new body to play host.
To get to the bottom of this abomination, a
motley crew of heroes will band together: the

intrepid grandmother-nannies, Mrs. Ling and Mrs.
Korjev; retired policeman-turned-bookseller
Alphonse Rivera; the Emperor of San Francisco

Machines of Loving Grace by John Markoff (ISBN 9780062266682
$26.99) – August 25th
release
As robots are increasingly integrated into modern society—on the battlefield and the
road, in business, education, and health—Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times
science writer John Markoff
searches for an answer to one of
the most important questions of our
age: will these robots help us . . . or
will they replace us?
At the dawn of the modern
computer era, two Pentagon-
financed laboratories began
researching artificial intelligence. At
one facility, a small group of
scientists and engineers worked to
recreate the human mind, while at
the other, a similar group worked to
augment it. For the past four
decades, the dichotomy between
artificial intelligence and intelligence
augmentation (A.I. versus I.A.) has
been at the heart of the revolution in
computing science. Now, as the
pace of technological change
continues to accelerate, automated
systems are confronting their
designers with fundamental moral
choices that have emerged too
quickly for society to weigh their
consequences.
In Machines of a Loving Grace,
New York Times reporter John
Markoff, who was the first reported to describe the World Wide Web, explores this
issue. Markoff travels across the country, from the brain trusts in Palo Alto and Silicon
Valley to the expanding tech corridor between Boston—home of MIT—and New York,
the latest incubator for future tech development, and evaluates the present state of the
A.I. versus I.A. debate. He goes deep inside the science fiction worlds of Battlestar
Galactica, Terminator, and the Jetsons, which are fast becoming a reality, and talks to
the insiders—scientists, entrepreneurs, ethicists, hackers and others—who are shaping
the future. The result is an incisive and chilling look at our lives today—and what may
come tomorrow.

  • 1. BookazineBits August 13th, 2015 On the cover of the NYT Book Review for 8/16/15 Eileen (ISBN 9781594206627 $25.95) by Ottessa Moshfegh A lonely young woman working in a boys’ prison outside Boston in the early 60s is pulled into a very strange crime, in a mordant, harrowing story of obsession and suspense, by one of the brightest new voices in fiction So here we are. My name was Eileen Dunlop. Now you know me. I was twenty-four years old then, and had a job that paid fifty-seven dollars a week as a kind of secretary at a private juvenile correctional facility for teenage boys. I think of it now as what it really was for all intents and purposes—a prison for boys. I will call it Moorehead. Delvin Moorehead was a terrible landlord I had years later, and so to use his name for such a place feels appropriate. In a week, I would run away from home and never go back. This is the story of how I disappeared. The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman trapped between her role as her alcoholic father’s caretaker in a home whose squalor is the talk of the neighborhood and a day job as a secretary at the boys’ prison, filled with its own quotidian horrors. Consumed by resentment and self-loathing, Eileen tempers her dreary days with perverse fantasies and dreams of escaping to the big city. In the meantime, she fills her nights and weekends with shoplifting, stalking a buff prison guard named Randy, and cleaning up her increasingly deranged father’s messes. When the bright, beautiful, and cheery Rebecca Saint John arrives on the scene as the new counselor at Moorehead, Eileen is enchanted and proves unable to resist what appears at first to be a miraculously budding friendship. In a Hitchcockian twist, her affection for Rebecca ultimately pulls her into complicity in a crime that surpasses her wildest imaginings. Played out against the snowy landscape of coastal New England in the days leading up to Christmas, young Eileen’s story is told from the gimlet-eyed perspective of the now much older narrator. Creepy, mesmerizing, and sublimely funny, in the tradition of Shirley Jackson and early Vladimir Nabokov, this powerful debut novel enthralls and shocks, and introduces one of the most original new voices in contemporary literature.
  • 2. Wind/Pinball by Haruki Murakami (ISBN 9780385352123 $25.95) In the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write.

Such words assume a special ferocity when the development in question is public housing. Lisa Belkin penetrates the prejudices, myths, and heated emotions stirred by the most recent trend in public housing as she re-creates a landmark case in riveting detail, showing how a proposal to build scattered-site public housing in middle-class neighborhoods nearly destroyed an entire city and forever changed the lives of many of its citizens. -- Public housing projects are being torn down throughout the United States. What will take their place? Show Me a Hero explores the answer. -- An important and compelling work of narrative nonfiction in the tradition of J. Anthony Lukas's Common Ground. -- A sweeping yet intimate group portrait that assesses the effects of public policy on individual human lives.

People are dying, but their souls are not being collected for ascension. Someone or something is stealing them and no one knows where they are going, or why, but it has something to do with that big orange bridge.

To get to the bottom of this abomination, a motley crew of heroes will band together: the seven-foot-tall death merchant Minty Fresh; intrepid grandmother-nannies, Mrs. Ling and Mrs. Korjev; retired policeman-turned-bookseller Alphonse Rivera; the Emperor of San Francisco and his dogs, Bummer and Lazarus; and Lily, the former Goth-girl.

  • 16. Machines of Loving Grace by John Markoff (ISBN 9780062266682 $26.99) – August 25th release As robots are increasingly integrated into modern society—on the battlefield and the road, in business, education, and health—Pulitzer-Prize-winning New York Times science writer John Markoff searches for an answer to one of the most important questions of our age: will these robots help us . . . or will they replace us? At the dawn of the modern computer era, two Pentagon- financed laboratories began researching artificial intelligence. At one facility, a small group of scientists and engineers worked to recreate the human mind, while at the other, a similar group worked to augment it. For the past four decades, the dichotomy between artificial intelligence and intelligence augmentation (A.I. versus I.A.) has been at the heart of the revolution in computing science. Now, as the pace of technological change continues to accelerate, automated systems are confronting their designers with fundamental moral choices that have emerged too quickly for society to weigh their consequences. In Machines of a Loving Grace, New York Times reporter John Markoff, who was the first reported to describe the World Wide Web, explores this issue. Markoff travels across the country, from the brain trusts in Palo Alto and Silicon Valley to the expanding tech corridor between Boston—home of MIT—and New York, the latest incubator for future tech development, and evaluates the present state of the A.I. versus I.A. debate. He goes deep inside the science fiction worlds of Battlestar Galactica, Terminator, and the Jetsons, which are fast becoming a reality, and talks to the insiders—scientists, entrepreneurs, ethicists, hackers and others—who are shaping the future. The result is an incisive and chilling look at our lives today—and what may come tomorrow. NPR: Fresh Air – 8/20/15
