Malinda Lo

A story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the Red Scare. “That book. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other.” And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: “Have you ever heard of such a thing?” Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.

Award-winning author Malinda Lo returns to the Bay Area with another masterful coming-of-queer-age story, this time set against the backdrop of the first major Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay marriage. And almost sixty years after the end of Last Night at the Telegraph Club, Lo's new novel also offers a glimpse into Lily and Kath's lives since 1955. Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha's Vineyard with her best friends—one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria's parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother's gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable—for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It's the kind of summer that changes a life forever.

The most important thing is that Jess Wong is Angie Redmond's best friend, even if Angie can't see how she truly feels. It's okay that Jess is the girl on the sidelines that nobody notices. That means she's free to watch everyone else and be at Angie's side. But when Angie starts falling for Margot, a girl from the nearby boarding school, Jess can already see what's going to happen. And suddenly her gift for observation is a curse. As Angie drags Jess further into Margot's circle, Jess finds more than her friend's growing crush. Secrets lie just beneath the carefree surface of this world, and when they come out, Jess knows Angie won't be able to handle the consequences. When the inevitable darkness finally descends, Angie will need her best friend.

I was born on Earth, not Kurra. I'm not human,even though I try to be. My people, the Imria, think I'm a little unusual because of that. They call me an Earthsider: as if I've crossed a line, chosen a side. Gone native.Before she met her girlfriend Reese, before she knew the role she would play in the fate of two worlds, Amber was a fifteen-year-old Imrian torn between two identities. Imrian by blood, Amber was forced to hide her true self to pass as human during the time she spent on earth. And even when she returns to Kurra, her human experiences, including first love and heartache, still separate her from her fellow Imrians. But when Amber undergoes kibila, a traditional Imrian coming-of-age ceremony during which Amber will choose her name and identity for the next fifteen years, she will be forced to either accept her role in both worlds or forge her own path.Malinda Lo's digital exclusive novella companion to Adaptation and Inheritance takes readers on a journey through Amber's past, giving fans a glimpse into her life on Kurra and a deeper understanding of one of Adaptation's most compelling characters.

Reese can’t remember anything from the time between the accident and the day she woke up almost a month later. She only knows one thing: She’s different now. Across North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing at least a dozen to crash. Thousands of people die. Fearing terrorism, the United States government grounds all flights, and millions of travelers are stranded. Reese and her debate team partner and longtime crush David are in Arizona when it happens. Everyone knows the world will never be the same. On their drive home to San Francisco, along a stretch of empty highway at night in the middle of Nevada, a bird flies into their headlights. The car flips over. When they wake up in a military hospital, the doctor won’t tell them what happened, where they are—or how they’ve been miraculously healed. Things become even stranger when Reese returns home. San Francisco feels like a different place with police enforcing curfew, hazmat teams collecting dead birds, and a strange presence that seems to be following her. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search for the truth is forced in an entirely new direction—and threatens to expose a vast global conspiracy that the government has worked for decades to keep secret.

Vencedor de diversos prêmios, incluindo o prestigioso National Book Award, A noite passada no Telegraph Club é uma ficção histórica ricamente detalhada e um romance de formação delicado e corajoso sobre encontrar a si mesma. Em A noite passada no Telegraph Club, Lily Hu tem dezessete anos e não consegue lembrar exatamente quando a pergunta se enraizou em seu coração, mas a resposta estava em plena floração no momento em que ela e Kathleen Miller caminharam sob o letreiro de neon de um bar lésbico chamado Telegraph Club. Os Estados Unidos em 1954 não são um lugar seguro para duas garotas se apaixonarem, especialmente em Chinatown. A paranoia da ameaça comunista põe todos em perigo, incluindo os descendentes de chineses, como Lily. Com o fantasma da deportação pairando sobre seu pai ― apesar de ele ter lutado duramente para conseguir a cidadania ―, Lily e Kath precisarão arriscar tudo por esse amor.

Reese and David are different now. Surrounded by a web of conspiracies, Reece feels that she must choose between two worlds. Her choices: David - or Amber? This world - or another? Should they tell the truth, and risk everything?

Lily Hu tiene 17 años y es la hija perfecta ante los ojos de los demás. Sin embargo, siente que hay algo diferente en no recuerda cuándo comenzó ese deseo, lo único que sabe es que, aunque al principio le parecía extraño e incomprensible, conforme crecía fue floreciendo; y, cuando Kathleen Miller y ella caminaron debajo del anuncio de neón del Club del Telégrafo, todo se sintió posible. Desafortunadamente, Estados Unidos en 1954 no es un lugar seguro para que dos chicas se enamoren. Menos en un lugar como Chinatown, San Francisco, en donde el miedo a los comunistas acecha a todos, incluso a los chinoamericanos como Lily. Con múltiples amenazas a su alrededor, Lily y Kath lo arriesgarán todo con tal de que su amor pueda al fin ver la luz.  La última noche en el Club del Telégrafo  ha sido ganadora de múltiples premios.

Lily Hu ha diciassette anni e non ricorda esattamente quando sia nata in lei la domanda. Ma di sicuro la risposta l’ha trovata insieme a Kathleen Miller sotto l’insegna al neon del Telegraph Club, un locale per lesbiche. L’America del 1954, però, non è un luogo sicuro per due ragazze che si amano, soprattutto a Chinatown. La paranoia del maccartismo investe tutti, soprattutto i cittadini cinesi americani come la famiglia di Lily: nonostante il padre si sia duramente guadagnato la cittadinanza negli Stati Uniti, infatti, il rischio della deportazione è ancora alto. Ma Lily e Kath sono disposte a rischiare tutto purché il loro amore fiorisca alla luce del giorno.

Παράξενη εποχή, έτσι λεγόταν αυτό το βιβλίο. Μιλούσε για δύο γυναίκες που ερωτεύονται η μία την άλλη. Και έπειτα η Λίλι έκανε την ερώτηση που είχε βγάλει ρίζες μέσα της, που ακόμα και τώρα ξεδίπλωνε τα φύλλα της και απαιτούσε να αντικρίσει τον ήλιο. «Έχεις ακούσει ποτέ ξανά κάτι τέτοιο;» Η δεκαεφτάχρονη Λίλι Χου δεν θυμάται ακριβώς πότε η ερώτηση έβγαλε ρίζες, όμως η απάντηση ήταν σε πλήρη ­άνθηση όταν εκείνη και η Καθλίν Μίλερ πέρασαν κάτω από τη νέον ταμπέλα ενός γκέι μπαρ που λεγόταν Τέλεγκραφ Κλαμπ. Η Αμερική του 1954 δεν είναι ένα ασφαλές μέρος για να ερωτευτούν δύο κορίτσια, ειδικά στην ιστορική Τσάιναταουν του Σαν Φρανσίσκο. Ο μακαρθισμός και η παράνοια του Κόκκινου Τρόμου απειλεί τους πάντες, και τους Κινέζους Αμερικανούς όπως η Λίλι. Με τον φόβο της απέλασης να σκιάζει τον πατέρα της, παρά την υπηκοότητα που με τόσο κόπο απέκτησε, η Λίλι και η Καθ ρισκάρουν τα πάντα ώστε ο έρωτάς τους να αντικρίσει το φως του ήλιου. Σε κάθε κεφάλαιο δίνεται ο χρονικός άξονας με τα κομβικά γεγονότα της εποχής και της προσωπικής ζωής των πρωταγωνιστών.

Em Ontem à Noite no Telegraph Club, Malinda Lo escreve um dos romances queer mais importantes dos últimos anos, adorado pelo público e aclamado pela crítica. «O livro. Era sobre duas mulheres apaixonadas uma pela outra. — E então, proferiu a pergunta que se enraizara nela e que agora desenrolava as suas folhas e exigia mostrar-se à luz do Sol: — Alguma vez ouviste falar de tal coisa?» Lily Hu não se consegue recordar do momento exato em que a pergunta se enraizou na sua mente, mas a resposta surgiu, como se um candeeiro de rua se acendesse numa noite negra, quando ela e Kathleen Miller caminharam sob o letreiro néon de um bar lésbico chamado Telegraph Club. Em 1954, Chinatown, nos Estados Unidos da América, não é um lugar seguro para duas raparigas se apaixonarem. A Ameaça Vermelha intimida a população, sobretudo pessoas sino-americanas como a família de Lily. Com o risco de deportação a pairar sobre o seu pai, apesar da cidadania duramente conquistada, Lily e Kath arriscam tudo para que o seu amor possa sair da escuridão e ver a luz do dia.
