Garland, Alex The Beach
New York, New York, U.S.A. Riverhead Books 1998 1573226521 / 9781573226523 Trade Paperback Very Good +
Very-good+, clean condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Covers are clean (NO tears). Tight spine, clean pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 437 pages. Synopsis The Khao San Road, Bangkok - first stop for the hordes of rootless young Westerners traveling in Southeast Asia. On Richard's first night there, a fellow traveler slashes his wrists, bequeathing to Richard a meticulously drawn map to "the Beach." The Beach, as Richard comes to learn, is a subject of legend among the young travelers in Asia: a lagoon hidden from the sea, with white sand and coral gardens, freshwater falls surrounded by jungle, plants untouched for thousands of years. There, it is rumored, a carefully selected international few have settled into a communal Eden. Richard sets off with a young French couple to an island hidden away in an archipelago forbidden to tourists. They discover the Beach, and it is as beautiful as it is reputed to be. Yet over time it becomes clear that Beach culture, as Richard calls it, has troubling, even deadly undercurrents.

Garland, Alex The Tesseract
New York, New York, U.S.A. Riverhead Books 2000 1573227749 / 9781573227742 Trade Paperback Near-Fine No Jacket
Very-good copy - No tears - Tight spine - 2 small marks in front of book (NOT in text of book) No other marks or writing - 173 pages - The Tesseract takes place in the Philippines and follows three sets of characters whose fates are intertwined in a deadly chase that is set in motion through a misunderstanding. Sean is an inexperienced British merchant seaman waiting to keep an appointment with a Filipino mafia lord and his henchmen in a seedy Manila hotel. Meanwhile, in the suburbs a mother puts her children to bed and remembers her first love on the backwater island where she grew up, and a wealthy psychologist studies the dreams of a couple of abandoned street kids, who are drawn into the wake of the gangsters' chase. The Tesseract is a story of personal tragedies that occur for no comprehensible reason, and investigates the ways in which we explain them, whether through religion, myth, psychology, or science. It balances science against religion, and our wills against our fates, asking the elusive question of how we can make sense of events in a world where meaning lies beyond our grasp.
