About the book
On a humid Florida night, three lives collide beneath the neon lights of the Puma Club for Men. April, a young mother and dancer, has brought her daughter to work out of desperation and defiance.

The Garden of Last Days affirms Andre Dubus III’s mastery of tension and compassion, hailed as “compulsively readable” by Stephen King.

Our take
In Underworld by Don DeLillo (4.4 out of 5 stars), the fate of a single baseball links five decades of American history, from the Cold War to the digital age. A Pulitzer and National Book Award finalist, this modern classic explores memory, identity, and the ghosts of the twentieth century with DeLillo’s signature brilliance.

It starts with a crack of the bat and the roar of a crowd. In 1951, as the “Shot Heard Round the World” echoes through a baseball stadium, news breaks of the Soviet Union’s first hydrogen bomb test. From that instant, a scuffed baseball begins its journey through time and lives, carrying the weight of America’s history with it.
Through the eyes of Nick Shay, a man haunted by secrets, and Klara Sax, an artist reclaiming the remnants of a broken world, Underworld traces five decades of ambition, decay, and redemption.
Don DeLillo’s masterpiece captures the pulse of a nation—its fears, its obsessions, and its longing to make sense of the past. A sweeping, haunting meditation on what endures when everything else fades.

The Metamorphosis
Literary Fiction · Psychological Fiction
Our take
Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis—in Susan Bernofsky’s acclaimed new translation—breathes fresh life into the 1915 classic that inspired Orwell, Camus, and Borges. With 4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this unsettling tale of Gregor Samsa’s grotesque transformation blends horror, humor, and humanity. Featuring an introduction by David Cronenberg, it’s the definitive edition of Kafka’s masterpiece.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Gregor Samsa is an ordinary traveling salesman—until the morning he wakes to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. Trapped in his own body, shunned by family, and stripped of dignity, Gregor’s life becomes a grotesque reflection of alienation and despair.
Written in 1915, Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis remains one of the most disturbing and influential works of modern literature. Its surreal horror inspired Orwell, Camus, Borges, and Bradbury, while its dark humor and raw humanity continue to captivate readers a century later.
In Susan Bernofsky’s acclaimed new translation, the novella’s wit and pathos come alive with fresh resonance. With David Cronenberg’s introduction, this edition reminds us why Kafka’s vision of transformation remains both terrifying and profoundly human.
