Harpercollins. 07/01/1979. In this collection of acclaimed short fiction by a modern master of the form, the title piece--Garcia Marquez's first novel, originally published in 1955--stands out. It takes place in the fictional town, Macondo, made famous in ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE. In LEAF STORM, the place has been devastated by the closing of the banana company that gave it what little prosperity it had. Told from the shifting points of view of an old colonel, his difficult daughter, and his young grandson, it revolves around the colonel's long-ago promise to give a decent burial to the man his fellow citizens hate most. This volume also includes four stories from the collection INNOCENT ERENDIRA (1972), and two early stories, "Nabo" and "Monologue of Isabel Watching the Rain in Macondo."

W W Norton & Co Inc. 03/01/1972. An erotic narrative focusing on the quadrilateral love affairs of two married couples. Cyril and Fiona meet Hugh and Catherine and, in the best fashion of the 1960s, the four agree to swap spouses. This works to everyone's satisfaction for a while, until it becomes apparent that the affairs have not worked out as casually as they were intended. Not only does Cyril become jealous of Hugh, he suspects that Fiona may have fallen in love. Both comic and disturbing, "Blood Oranges" provides an unusual perspective on modern notions of liberation.

W W Norton & Co Inc. 02/01/2006. 351 pgs. In this historical mystery by first-time novelist Jenny White, forward-thinking Turkish magistrate Kamil Pasha must find out who murdered a young Englishwoman whose body has washed up on the beach. The year is 1886, the setting is Istanbul, and the political and social landscape is teeming with a mixed bag of expatriate Englishmen, ambitious politicians, and classically minded Turks who are continually at odds with their modernized counterparts. White paints a vivid picture of the final days of the Ottoman Empire, and couches within it all the elements of a traditional whodunit.
