Описание: From the author of the National Book Award winner Becoming a Man comes a fairy tale that captures the strangeness of societys rules and the liberating nature of love as the Great Horned Owl is brought to life as he sets an intolerant agenda in a mystical forest.

In this collection of fables, Paul Monette chronicles the experiences of being lesbian and gay through the scene of a magical forest that is protected by a solitary, sex-changing witch.

With the power to expel a shield that protect the animals of the forest from the outside world, the witch is able to keep the occupants of the forest safe. But not through physical protection, rather by changing the minds of the intruders entering the forest.

As the witch grows weary from her constant protection, an owl hungry for power takes over the throne of the forest, urging the animals to report all suspicious activity to keep the forest safe, leading to betrayal and skepticism among a previously free and enchanted group of animals.

Like a shaman, Monette--the novelist, poet, essayist, AIDS activist, and National Book Award winner who died of AIDS in 1995--creates a magic space within this animal fable, which resonates with wisdom and grace. -- Publishers Weekly

Описание:

With An Apprentice to Elves, Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear return with the third book in their epic fantasy series, the Iskryne trilogy.

The trilogy began with A Companion to Wolves, and continued in The Tempering of Men. This novel picks up the story of Alfgyfa, a young woman who has been raised in the Wolfhall by her father Isolfr, who is the human leader of the queen-wolf Viridechtis' pack, and was the protagonist of the first book.

The warrior culture of Iskryne forbids many things to women-and most especially it forbids them bonding to one of the giant telepathic trellwolves. But as her father was no ordinary boy, Alfgyfa is no ordinary girl. Her father has long planned to send his daughter to Tin, a matriarch among the elves who live nearby, to be both apprentice and ambassador, and now she is of age to go.

Описание: Paul Monette's uproarious, sexy novel takes us deep into the glamorous world of vintage Los Angeles Perched on top of a hill in the oldest part of Bel Air, Crook House is the grand mansion that gilded Hollywood dreams are made of. It seemed like the perfect place for the exhausted and neurotic Rita to take time away from her life and catch up with her old friend Peter and his lover, Nick. What she didn't count on was her friends' emotional baggage, not to mention the suspicious tales of a buried treasure underneath the house. This second novel from Paul Monette puts a tender focus on the ways in which money and time can distort relationships, while also demonstrating how the ties between friends can endure-and even grow stronger-no matter what the distance or history. As Rita, Nick, and Peter get closer to unraveling the mystery buried underneath Crook House, they begin to learn that what they are searching for could be the key to their very survival. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Paul Monette including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the Paul Monette papers of the UCLA Library Special Collections. " Monette's] memorable, multifaceted characters transcend the boundaries suggested by their sexual orientations." -Publishers Weekly on Halfway Home " Paul Monette] was a superbly gifted writer." -James McBride, author of The Color of Water and The Good Lord Bird Paul Monette (1945-1995) was an author, poet, and gay rights activist. Born in Massachusetts and educated at Yale University, he moved with his partner Roger Horwitz to Los Angeles in 1978 and became involved in the gay rights movement. Monette's writing captures the sense of heartbreak and loss at the center of the AIDS crisis. His first novel, Taking Care of Mrs. Carroll, was published in 1978, and he went on to write several more works of fiction, poetry, and memoir. Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir, the tender account of his partner's battle with the disease, earned him both PEN Center West and Lambda Literary Awards. In 1992, Monette won the National Book Award in Nonfiction for Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story, an autobiography detailing his early life and his struggle with his sexuality. Written as a classic coming-of-age story, Becoming a Man became a seminal coming-out story. In 1995, Monette founded the Monette-Horwitz Trust, which honors individuals and organizations working to combat homophobia. Monette died in his home in West Hollywood in 1995 of complications from AIDS.
