The beautifully written, deeply affecting story of Jean-Michel Basquiat's partner, her past, and their life together

New York City in the 1980s was a mesmerizing, wild place. A hotbed for hip hop, underground culture, and unmatched creative energy, it spawned some of the most significant art of the 20th century. It was where Jean-Michel Basquiat became an avant-garde street artist and painter, swiftly achieving worldwide fame. During the years before his death at the age of 27, he shared his life with his lover and muse, Suzanne Mallouk.

A runaway from an unhappy home in Canada, Suzanne first met Jean-Michel in a bar on the Lower East Side in 1980. Thus began a tumultuous and passionate relationship that deeply influenced one of the most exceptional artists of our time.

In emotionally resonant prose, award-winning author Jennifer Clement tells the story of the passion that swept Suzanne and Jean-Michel into a short-lived, unforgettable affair. A poetic interpretation like no other, Widow Basquiat is an expression of the unrelenting power of addiction, obsession and love.

The searing, unforgettable story of a young girl's resilience, by the award-winning author of "Prayers for the Stolen".

Pearl's mother took her away from her family just weeks after she was born, and drove off to central Florida determined to begin a new life for herself and her daughter--in the parking lot next to a trailer park. Pearl grew up in the front seat of their '94 Mercury, while her mother lived in the back. Despite their hardships, mother and daughter both adjusted to life, making friends with the residents of the trailers and creating a deep connection to each other. All around them, Florida is populated with gun owners--those hunting alligators for sport, those who want to protect their families, and those who create a sense of danger.

Written in a gorgeous lyric all its own, Gun Love is the story of a tough but optimistic young woman growing up in contemporary America, in the midst of its harrowing love affair with firearms.

Для нас Мексика это страна текилы, такос и сомбреро. Для живущих в мексиканских деревушках девушек их родная страна — смертельно опасное место. Здесь не слышали слова «закон», а власть принадлежит наркоторговцам, которые ежедневно крадут из деревень красавиц.

В сегодняшней Мексике женщин похищают на улице или уводят из дома под дулом пистолета. Они пропадают, возвращаясь с работы, учёбы или вечеринки, по пути в магазин или в аптеку. Домой никто из них уже никогда не вернётся. Все они молоды, привлекательны и бедны.

Ледиди Гарсия Мартинес родилась здесь, и прекрасно понимает: жизни не будет. Можно сколько угодно уродовать себя, брить голову и выбивать зубы, однажды они всё равно придут. В поисках лучшей доли она бежит в большой город, чтобы…понять, что снова придется бежать. Дымная, душная атмосфера опиумных маков сжимает плотным кольцом, не давая дышать.
