Book excerpt: After twenty years, Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, but instead of receiving the homecoming he had hoped for finds himself caught in an intense battle of wills with his faithful and long-suffering wife Penelope. When Penelope recognizes him under the guise of a beggar, she becomes furious with him for not trusting her enough to include her in his plans for ridding the palace of the Suitors. As a result, she plays her own game of fictions to make him suffer for this lack of faith, inspiring jealousy, self-doubt, and misgivings in her husband, the legendary Homeric hero. In this captivating retelling of the Odyssey, Penelope rises as a major force with whom to be reckoned. Shifting between first-person reflections, Ithaca Forever reveals the deeply personal and powerful perspectives of both wife and husband as they struggle for respect and supremacy within a marriage that has been on hold for twenty years. Translated by PEN award-winner Douglas Grant Heise, Luigi Malerba’s novel gives us a remarkable version of this greatest work of western literature: Odysseus as a man full of doubts and Penelope as a woman of great depth and strength.

At breakfast, his little brother, Eddie, splashes syrup in his hair, and there's no time to wash it. Artie has to go to school with syrup-hair. And then, on the way there, he gets splashed by a puddle that makes him look like he wet his pants. It's not just the first day of school; it's the worst day of school.

Book excerpt: One hundred and fifty million dollars is a lot of money to giveaway. It is an estimate of how much was paid out in foreign aidlast year. When it helps the sick, the starving, the homeless, the deprived, we feel the money is well spent. But who knows how much is pocketed by greedy gangsters and government officials, in corruption or theft? The origins cannot be traced of eighty percent of hospital drugs in one large country. If you get sick you pay a lot of money for treatment with such drugs, but how they got there, no one seems to know. Those who own the hospitals just get rich. From the south of France to Italy, London to the Russian Far East, Marcus Black searches for someone who knows too much. He finds passion and power, deceit and death. Whether it is Italian omertà or English discretion, so much is kept quiet. And who can be trusted when big money is at stake.
