Publisher's Notes
Zapata's tales give authentic, literary voice to the issues and experiences of today's 20-somethings. Collected under a moniker that refers to a large--and cheap--bottle of beer, stories like "Beer," "Childhood Hell," and "One Fine Summer Day" evince the point of view of a "postmodern Holden Caulfield" ("San Francisco By Guardian") and evoke an edgy, humorous, decidedly '90s nostalgia for the present.

Generation X
by Douglas Coupland
Generation X is a field guide to and for the vast generation born in the late 1950s and the 1960s--a generation that has been erroneously labelled "postponed" and "indifferent". This is facto-fiction about a wildly accelerating subculture waiting in the corridor.
Trainspotting
by Irvine Welsh
The Wisest Man in America
by W.D. Wetherell
It's 1996 and Ferris, a native New Englander as flinty and proud as the mountains around him, is once again about to predict the winners of the New Hampshire primary. He's been right in every election since 1952, when fate and a nose for news first led Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Max Thomas to his door. It wasn't long before Ferris's uncanny accuracy began drawing the great and the not-so-great to the Notch to sound out - and perhaps influence - the crusty bellwether of political success or failure. This election, however, is different, as both Ferris and Max face the hardest test of their wisdom: confronting the truth about themselves, their lives and loves, and a society that has declined painfully during their half century of friendship. Yet both men come to reject those bleak pronouncements, as each mines meaning from his past and avoids "the worst of all fates: a life that for good or evil had left no impression at all". Wetherell's elegiac story of loss and redemption is a study in the universal struggle to identify what values are lasting amidst the sometimes deafening tumult of change.
Krik? Krak!
by Edwidge Danticat
When Haitians tell a story, they say "Krik?" and the eager listeners answer "Krak!" In Krik? Krak! In her second novel, Edwidge Danticat establishes herself as the latest heir to that narrative tradition with nine stories that encompass both the cruelties and the high ideals of Haitian life. They tell of women who continue loving behind prison walls and in the face of unfathomable loss; of a people who resist the brutality of their rulers through the powers of imagination. The result is a collection that outrages, saddens, and transports the reader with its sheer beauty.
A King of Infinite Space
by Allen Steele
For William Alec Tucker III, the son of rich, guilt-ridden parents, life after death--and cryogenics--provides a gateway to the future, but he soon discovers that he has become a pawn in a vast struggle for power that takes him on an odyssey of discovery that reaches into the vastness of outer space.
