THIS INTENSE AND COMPACT NOVEL crackles with obsession, betrayal, and madness, and was an Oregon Book Award Finalist for fiction 2005. As the narrator becomes fixated on his best friend’s girlfriend, his precarious hold on sanity rapidly deteriorates into delusion and violence. This story can be read as the classic myth of Hades and Persephone (Core) rewritten for a twenty-first century audience as well as a dark, foreboding tale of unrequited love and loneliness. Alonso skillfully uses language to imitate memory and psychosis, putting the reader squarely inside the narrator’s head. In addition, deliberate misuse of standard punctuation blurs the distinction between the narrator’s internal and external worlds. A sense of alienation and Faulknerian grotesquerie permeate this landscape where desire is borne in the bloom of a daffodil and sanity lies toppled like an applecart in the mud.
Все твои грязные секреты
Некоторые секреты слишком опасны, чтобы их скрывать. Шестеро старшеклассников получили неожиданные письма. Они выиграли стипендию на обучение в колледже и приглашены в ресторан. Но вместо торжественного ужина их ждала жестокая игра. В ресторане нет ни души, выход заблокирован, мобильная связь не работает. А на одном из столов – взрывное устройство, шприц с ядом и записка. Кто-то один должен умереть. В течение шестидесяти минут нужно сделать выбор, иначе погибнут все. Но кого выбрать жертвой? Эмбер, девушку с музыкальным талантом? Сашу, ее подругу и капитана чирлидеров? Прию, фанатку фокусов и фэнтези? Робби, спортсмена и звезду бейсбола? Диего, ботаника и изобретателя? Или Скотта, главного разгильдяя школы? Время пошло.

Hunter
This is what I know:
My name is Angel.
My age is fourteen (I think).

My hair color is blond, and my eyes are blue.
I have migraines, and they give me nightmares.
These are the facts, pure and simple. But nothing is simple in Angel’s life when a student ends up dead. Now, more than ever, it is crucial for her to blend in. But when her every move is being watched and tested; will Angel make it through her training alive?
