 | Mayan Folktales by James D. Sexton
This collection of folklore offers a rich and lively panorama of Mayan mythic heritage. Here are everyday tales of village life; legends of witches, shamans, spiritualists, tricksters, and devils; fables of naguales, or persons who can change into animal forms; ribald stories of love and life; cautionary tales of strange and menacing neighbors and of the danger lurking within the human heart. These legends narrate origin and creation stories, explain the natural world, and reinforce cultural beliefs and values such as honesty, industriousness, sharing, fairness, and cleverness. Whether tragic or comic, fantastic or earthy, whimsical or profound, these tales capture the mystery, fragility, and power of the Mayan world. AUTHOR: James D. Sexton

 | The Star Factory by Ciaran Carson
Belfast rises up unforgettably in Ciaran Carson's stunning elegy to his home. For Carson, the Northern Irish city -- known mostly to American readers as troubled -- is situated where memory and imagination meet. His Belfast is a place alive with stories, where childhood's visions fuse with mastery of expression. Every shimmering sentence of this remarkable, loving, and uncanny memoir hums with detail and feeling, whether the subjects of reminiscence are stamps, out-of-print books, airplane models, old trolley-car maps, postcards, the Easter Rebellion, recollections of the Titanic (which was built at Belfast's Queen's Island shipbuilding works), family memoirs, railway patterns, or abandoned factories. Carson dives into his wormhole of memory and conjures up a place of labyrinthine magic. In these pages Belfast is more than just alive; it is life itself. Like Angela's Ashes, The Star Factory is a breathtaking and breathless tour de force no reader will be able to put down. AUTHOR: Ciaran Carson
