        Bunker X Burim District​

        by Young sook Kang

        IT IS ONE YEAR AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE nicknamed ‘The Big One’ destroyed everything in Burim District, and Yujin is living in a bunker. This is the bunker Yujin found after wandering from shelter to shelter. She lives in the damp and stuffy bunker with 10 other people, surviving off any debris they can find and the survival kits occasionally distributed to them from the outside. The first thing that jumps out at readers about this book is the desolate life in the bunker and the ashen landscape of District Burim which was razed to the ground by an earthquake. Young-sook Kang, who has frequently dealt with the topics of cities and disasters in her novels, paints an even more vivid and shocking depiction of disasters in this book. In particular, the memories that South Koreans have of recent. The reason why Yujin and the other survivors of ‘The Big One’ must live in the bunker is because the government judged that Burim District was a polluted area after the earthquake, subsequently isolating it from the rest of the world. People are allowed to leave Burim District and settle in nearby N city, but in order to do this they must first put a biometric chip in their bodies and become ‘objects of management’. The people who cannot—or will not—do this have no choice but to remain in the bunker. But one day, people in gray hazmat suits come into Burim District carrying a large human-sized machine. It doesn’t take long before people start disappearing from the bunker and rumors start surfacing. Now Yujin, who has been sending people one by one to N city, begins to wonder if she can survive till the end. At the same time, while describing the history of Burim District and showing how there were already cracks and gaps existing beneath the surface of everyday life, Young-sook Kang imagines an earthquake that instantly makes the social inequalities painfully apparent. Before ‘The Big One’, Burim District was already a failing city. Although it enjoyed a short-lived boom from the iron industry, closures and suspended projects for redevelopment caused the city to be abandoned. Eventually Burim District became the home for all of society’s rejects—people who have no place to go because they have either failed in the big city or because they are sick. The image of a government that so quickly labels, isolates, and abandons a failed city where people whom no one cares for live, feels less like fiction and more like the inequalities that are present in every corner of our society today.

        Icefields: Landmark Edition

        by Thomas Wharton

        In 1898, Doctor Edward Byrne slips on the ice of the Arcturus glacier in the Canadian Rockies and slides into a crevasse, wedged upside down nearly sixty feet below the surface. As he fights losing consciousness, a stray beam of sunlight illuminates the ice in front of him and Byrne sees something in the blue-green radiance that will forever link him to the ancient glacier. In this moment, his life’s purpose becomes uncovering the mystery of the icefield that almost was his tomb. Along the way, he encounters similarly fixated individuals, each immersed in their own quest: the healer and storyteller Sara; the bohemian travel writer Freya Becker; the entrepreneur Trask; the poet Hal Rowan; and Elspeth, greenhouse keeper and Byrne's lover.   First published in 1995, Wharton’s Icefields is an astonishing historical novel set in a mesmerizing literary landscape, one that is constantly being altered by the surging and retreating glacier and unpredictable weather. Here—where characters are pulled into deep chasms of ice as well as the stories and histories they tell one another—is a vivid, daring, and crisply written book that reveals the human spirit, loss, myth, and elusive truths.   This updated Landmark Edition includes an author interview with Smaro Kamboureli and an Afterword by award-winning writer Suzette Mayr.

        The Broken Places

        by Frances Peck

        Vancouver. A day like any other. Kyle, a successful cosmetic surgeon, is punishing himself with a sprint up a mountain. Charlotte, wife of a tech tycoon, is combing the farm belt for local cheese and a sense of purpose. Back in the city their families go about their business: landscaping, negotiating deals, skipping school. It’s a day like any other—until suddenly it’s not.   When the earthquake hits, the city erupts in chaos and fear. Kyle’s and Charlotte’s families, along with two passersby, are thrown together in an oceanfront mansion. The catastrophe and conflicts that beset these wildly different people expose the fault lines beneath their relationships, as they question everything in an effort to survive and reunite with their loved ones stranded outside the city.   Frances Peck’s debut novel recalls the humanism of Ann Patchett while interrogating the excesses of the nouveau riche like Emily St. John Mandel and Douglas Coupland.

        Flocks of One

        by John Morano

        Glyde, Gonzo, and Azul have one thing in common: they’re all flying as flocks of one. Other than his father, Lupé, Glyde has never seen a pure Guadalupe petrel, so when he hears of a similar petrel in danger, he implores his father to join him in a daring rescue attempt. Along the way, Glyde is joined by Gonzo, an endangered ivory-billed woodpecker, Zomis, the last remaining passenger pigeon, and a barred owl who speaks only in Shakespearean English. Meanwhile, after losing his mate and being smuggled out of the shrinking Caatinga, Azul finds himself in the care of a celebrated conservationist. However, not everything is as it seems, and the Spix’s macaw must fight to return to the place he knows best. But with a disappearing habitat and without a mate, can his journey lead him home? The John Morano Eco-Adventure Series is back with a fourth installment that asks the question: What does it mean to be home in a changing world? As the climate warms and habitats are lost, will the man-flock help the birds before it's too late, or will these flocks of one become flocks of none? Featuring a special introduction by Andrew Sharpless, CEO of Oceana.

        Makoona features an introduction by Kathryn Fuller, President of World Wildlife Fund. Welcome to the inspiring story of Binti, a female octopus who lives in the Makoona coral reef, and Kemar, a Cambodian boy who fishes the reef. As a mollusk without a shell, Binti believes she's missing something...but the reef is a dangerous place to search for anything, let alone the shell that will fulfill her and enable her to communicate with the spirit-fish. Helped by her friends and a psychedelic octopus who speaks Grateful Dead lyrics (with the band's permission!), the search is on. Fifteen-year-old Kemar, a boatperson fleeing the Khmer Rouge, fishes the waters around Makoona where he crosses the path of a strange octopus and befriends both a Vietnam vet and an old American mechanic who claims she was once a world famous aviator.
