- Everything and less : the novel in the age of Amazon / by McGurl, Mark,1966-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In Everything and Less, acclaimed critic Mark McGurl discovers a dynamic scene of literary experimentation in an unlikely location: in the realms of self-publishing created by Amazon. Reclaiming several works of self-published fiction from the abyss of critical disregard, McGurl offers a Copernican revolution in the world of letters: rather than giving central importance to the critically lionized highbrows--Colson Whitehead, Don DeLillo, Elena Ferrante, and Amitav Ghosh, among others--he discovers that their fiction orbits countless unknown authors forging a career through untraditional means"--- Subjects: Amazon.com (Firm); Electronic publishing.; Self-publishing.; Fiction; Fiction;

- Emily Wilde's encyclopaedia of faeries / by Fawcett, Heather(Heather M.),author.;
"In the early 1900s, a curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town to study faerie folklore, where she discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love. Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on dryadology, the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encylopedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party-much less get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog Shadow, and the Fair Folk to that of friends or lovers. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hransvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: the dashing and insufferably handsome Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of her research, and utterly confound and frustrate Emily. But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones-the most elusive of all faeries-lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all -- her own heart"--- Subjects: Fantasy fiction.; Historical fiction.; Magic realist fiction.; Novels.; College teachers; Competition (Psychology); Fairies; Fairies; Friendship; Imaginary places; Infatuation; Magic realism (Literature); Magic; Man-woman relationships; Women college teachers;
