In 1977, Adina Giorno is born to a single mom in Philadelphia. At age 4, she’s “triggered” by her extraterrestrial superiors 300,000 light years away on the passing away world Cricket Rice, who job her with reporting back about how people believe and act. Through a facsimile machine in her bed room, Adina transfers astute and frequently humorous observations about the confounding habits of earthlings (for example: “people do not like when other people appear pleased”). She experiences the bittersweetness of growing up; ostracized by the popular inner circle and buffooned for her dark skin, she finds out how often, being human ways feeling alien. Warm, amusing, and touching, Beautyland is an out-of-this-world expedition of solitude and belonging.

Embed in 1895 at the border in between Texas and Mexico, The Bullet Swallower fixates Antonio Sonoro, the scion of a well-to-do however terrible household living in Dorado, Mexico. After a train burglary failed beyond Houston, a shootout with the Texas Rangers leaves Antonio’s bro dead and Antonio horrifically damaged, making him the label “El Tragabalas” (the bullet swallower). Antonio’s mission for vengeance versus the Rangers takes him through the heart of the Texas badlands, where he weighs his violent impulses versus the chance for repentance.
