    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;There’s a disturbing secret in the basement of a strip mall yogurt parlor. Jonathan, the mostly clueless clerk who works there, just wants to fix things once and for all, but beginning with an encounter at an animal shelter that leaves three dead, things don’t work out quite the way Jonathan intends . . . or do they? Beneath its picaresque surface, <em>Girl Factory</em> raises unsettling questions about storytelling, the nature of freedom, and the ubiquitous objectification of women.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Iceland begins with Paul arriving at a mysterious Institute to pick out—on doctor’s orders—a new internal organ. There he meets Emily, a young, bikini-clad woman hired to stimulate the organs preserved in a nutrient-enhanced swimming pool, and falls in love amidst a flurry of chlorine and kick-boards. In Jim Krusoe’s world, this is about as simple as life gets.<p>Paul’s brief interlude with Emily sets the course for his extraordinary adventures, which involve a troublesome stain on Paul’s rug, a volcano, Paul’s marriage and children, six years in a piano bar, and a long stretch in the State Penitentiary. But throughout it all Paul keeps re-imagining that first afternoon by the pool-side with Emily, his one true love. Iceland is a novel of melancholic hilarity that along the way raises questions about the nature of memory, imagination, and desire.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;When Theodore receives a postcard saying “I need to see you,” he initially ignores it — after all, it’s unsettling to open mail from one’s dead mother. But when another card arrives he can no longer put off the urgent meeting, and so Theodore treks to Cleveland to track his mother down. In this strange, thoughtful novel by Jim Krusoe, Theodore travels through the worlds of Uleene, a member of the all-girl biker club Satan’s Samaritans; art; rodent extermination; and sport fishing, all the while realizing that the line between life and death is remarkably fluid.<br/>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
