Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Desde las calles de Stockton hasta las playas de Venice Beach, y hasta la frontera con México, Aquà estuvimos narra el viaje de autodescubrimiento de un niño que intenta perdonarse a sà mismo en un mundo implacable. Cuando sucedió, a Miguel lo enviaron al centro de detención juvenil. El juez lo sentenció a un año en una casa hogar para menores; dijo que tenÃa que escribir en un diario para que algún consejero pudiera tratar de entender su forma de pensar. El juez no tenÃa idea de que en realidad le habÃa hecho un favor a Miguel. Desde que sucedió, su madre ni siquiera habÃa podido mirarlo a la cara. Cualquier hogar que no fuese el suyo serÃa un lugar mejor para vivir. Pero Miguel jamás pensó que conocerÃa a Rondell y a Mong, y en todo lo que sucederÃa cuando huyesen. Solo pensó en llegar a la frontera con México, donde podrÃa empezar de nuevo. Olvidar a su mamá. Olvidar a su hermano. Olvidarse de sà mismo. Sin embargo, la vida no suele funcionar como uno cree. Y la mayorÃa de las veces, escapar te lleva de regreso al mismo lugar del que una vez huiste.--Publisher's description.

[2020]., W. W. Norton & Company Call No: DYSTOPIA F MIL Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "An indelible and haunting new novel that explores the loss of childhood, intergenerational conflict, and humanity's complacency in the face of its own demise. Lydia Millet's multilayered new novel--her first since the National Book Award Longlist Sweet Lamb of Heaven--follows a group of children and their families on summer vacation at a lakeside mansion. The teenage narrator Eve and the other children are contemptuous of their parents, who spend the days and nights in drunken stupor. This tension heightens when a great storm arrives and throws the house and its residents into chaos. Named for a picture Bible given to Eve's little brother Jack, A Children's Bible is loosely structured around events and characters that often appear in collections of Bible stories intended for young readers. These narrative touchstones are imbedded in a backdrop of environmental and psychological distress as the children reject the parents for their emotional and moral failures--in part as normal teenagers must, and in part for their generation's passivity and denial in the face of cataclysmic change. In A Children's Bible, Millet offers brilliant commentary on the environment and human weakness and a vision of what awaits us on the other side of Revelations"--Provided by the publisher.
