173,95 kr. Collected short stories by Michael Hopping. The renovation of a backwoods motel reveals a previously unknown and powerful fresco, apparently concealed by the artist who created it. A young man, unsure about his own artistic career, asks himself why. In pursuit of an answer, Clayton stumbles across questions about himself he's never thought to ask. The other protagonists in this richly told collection of short stories could well sympathize with Clayton. Some struggle with idealism, others with innocence or what constitutes a healthy family, or such subjects as the dawn of premeditation, the function of art, estrangement from themselves, and whether it's really possible to be selfless and in love. Often humorous and always thought-provoking, MacTiernan's Bottle invites readers to dive into the worlds Michael Hopping has created and discover the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Like a garden in perpetual bloom, these are stories to revisit again and again.

- A Novel of Vietnam
223,95 kr. As the United States increases its involvement in Vietnam, the ongoing civil unrest and political divisions evolve into a calamitous war that will ultimately see no winners, only losers. With the growing war's trauma and loss tearing apart her family, the rebellious, defiant Trang Sen -- whose name means "White Lotus" -- struggles to make more of her life than seems possible. She moves from her parents' rice farm to the streets and alleys of Saigon, and her world opens up, but as quickly as new paths become visible, others are shut off. Caught between her own dreams and the needs of her family, between her love for learning and the excitement of war-time Saigon, Trang Sen embarks on a journey of heartbreaking choices. Ultimately, she must decide whether to stay in her devastated homeland or follow her dream to a new life, as the last transport flies out before the fall of Saigon to the fighters of the North.
