    Christa McAuliffe's Eyes Were Blue (eBook, ePUB)
    Bernard and Steven Gentry are twins who have lived starkly different lives. The big reason? One is plagued by racism because of his dark skin while the other passes as white. Steven spent his childhood trying to fit in and is now a successful attorney. Bernard was a star student who dreamt of space, but his current prospects are about as dismal as the Challenger Space Shuttle that once inspired him. Spanning their 80s New York City childhood to a Minnesota courtroom in 2006, Christa McAuliffe's Eyes Were Blue is a haunting meditation on race and privilege in America.

    Things Kept, Things Left Behind (Iowa Short Fiction Award) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 369min
    The stories in Things Kept, Things Left Behind explore the ambiguities of kept secrets, the tangles of abandoned pasts, and uneasy accommodations. Jim Tomlinson's characters each face the desire to reclaim dreams left behind, along with something of the dreamer that was also lost. Starkly rendered, these spiraling characters inhabit a specific place and class - small-town Kentucky, working-class America - but the stories, told in all their humor and tragedy, are universal. In each story the characters face conflict, sometimes within themselves, sometimes with each other. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Josiah John Bildner.
