One Flea Spare by Naomi Wallace, hilarious and deeply moving by turns, is set in plague-ravaged 17th Century London where social roles and the boundaries that describe them have developed into chaos.

Hilarious and deeply moving by turns, One Flea Spare is set in plague-ravaged 17th Century London where social roles and the boundaries that describe them have developed into chaos. The definition of morality is up for grabs. History is being tantalised. And whilst the wealthy William Snelgrave dreams of sweating, swearing tars, and of how sailors satisfy their "baser instincts" so far away from female company, his own wife, untouched for 40 years, is discovering that her dreadfully burned body may not be numb after all. The human heart craves comfort, contact, tenderness; survival may take many forms.

In The Wedding Singer, it’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Heart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his own fiancé leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.

When he meets an admiring young waitress, it’s love at first sight. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980s, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.

Her memories take her back to the small town in which she was raised, a tiny Gulf town named Bountiful. Gathering her meager resources, she escapes and heads toward Bountiful in a desperate effort to ... what? Recover her youth? Assert some measure of independence? Bring her life full circle? Bountiful is not what she remembers. But was it ever? And is the pursuit of a dream only validated when a dream is achieved?
