Fourth film in the comedy franchise series starring Jason Biggs.
Over a decade on from the action of the original movie 'American
Pie' (1999), the characters descend on their home town East Great
Falls, Michigan for their ten-year high school reunion. Over the
course of a wild weekend, sparks fly as Jim (Biggs), Stifler (Seann

still married, but things get wobbly when their next door neighbour
develops a crush on Jim. Meanwhile, Stifler, stuck in a dead-end
temping job, is having a hard time with the ladies, Oz has hit the
big time after winning a TV talent show, and Finch is still
hankering after Stifler's 'MILF' mother.
FROM THE AUTHOR OF KIM JIYOUNG, BORN 1982 Eight women.
Eight stories. One reality. A woman is born. A woman is
filmed in public without consent. A woman suffers domestic
violence. A woman is gaslit. A woman is discriminated against at
work. A woman grows old. A woman becomes famous. A woman is hated,
and loved, and then hated again. Written in Cho Nam-Joo’s
masterful, razor-sharp prose, Miss Kim Knows brings together the
lives of eight Korean women, aged 10 to 80. Contained in each of
these biographies is a microcosm of contemporary Korea, and the
challenges and injustices that women face from childhood to old
age. As with Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, the fates of these eight women
are the fates of women the world over. And under Cho Nam-Joo’s
precise, unveiled gaze, nothing and nobody escapes scrutiny--not
even herself.
This mischievous Malaysian-set novel is an adventure featuring family,
ghosts and local gods - from Hugo Award winning novelist Zen Cho.
Her grandmother may be dead, but she's not done with life . . . yet.
As Jessamyn packs for Malaysia, it’s not a good time to start hearing a
bossy voice in her head. Broke, jobless and just graduated, she’s
abandoning America to return ‘home’. But she last saw Malaysia as a
toddler – and is completely unprepared for its ghosts, gods and her
eccentric family’s shenanigans.
Jess soon learns her ‘voice’ belongs to Ah Ma, her late grandmother.
She worshipped the Black Water Sister, a local deity. And when a
business magnate dared to offend her goddess, Ah Ma swore revenge. Now
she’s decided Jess will help, whether she wants to or not.
As Ah Ma blackmails Jess into compliance, Jess fights to retain
control. But her irrepressible relative isn’t going to let a little
thing like death stop her, when she can simply borrow Jess’s body to
make mischief. As Jess is drawn ever deeper into a world of peril and
family secrets, getting a job becomes the least of her worries.

spirit, but because she was Muslim and he was not. Then a teenage
vampire struggles to balance homework, bossy aunties, first love .
. . and eating people. A mischievous matriarch returns from the
dead to disrupt her own funeral rites, pitting granddaughter
against granddaughter. An earth spirit becomes entangled in
protracted negotiations with an annoying landlord. And Chang E, the
Chinese moon goddess, spins off into outer space – the ultimate
metaphor for diaspora. Enjoy this journey into magical new worlds
of the imagination.

THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY SELLING SOUTH KOREAN SENSATION THAT HAS GOT
THE WHOLE WORLD TALKING 'A ground-breaking work of feminist
fiction.' Stylist Who is Kim Jiyoung? Kim Jiyoung is a girl born to
a mother whose in-laws wanted a boy. Kim Jiyoung is a sister made
to share a room while her brother gets one of his own. Kim Jiyoung
is a female preyed upon by male teachers at school. Kim Jiyoung is
a daughter whose father blames her when she is harassed late at
night. Kim Jiyoung is a good student who doesn't get put forward
for internships. Kim Jiyoung is a model employee but gets
overlooked for promotion. Kim Jiyoung is a wife who gives up her
career and independence for a life of domesticity. Kim Jiyoung has
started acting strangely. Kim Jiyoung is depressed. Kim Jiyoung is
mad. Kim Jiyoung is her own woman. Kim Jiyoung is every woman. Kim
Jiyoung, Born 1982 is the life story of one young woman born at the
end of the twentieth century and raises questions about endemic
misogyny and institutional oppression that are relevant to us all.
Riveting, original and uncompromising, this is the most important
book to have emerged from South Korea since Han Kang's The
Vegetarian. Praise for Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 'It describes
experiences that will be recognisable everywhere. It's slim,
unadorned narrative distils a lifetime's iniquities into a sharp
punch.' The Sunday Times 'A ground-breaking work of feminist
fiction' Stylist 'Along with other socially critical narratives to
come out of Korea, such as Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning film
Parasite, her story could change the bigger one.' TheGuardian 'This
witty, disturbing book deals with sexism, mental health issues and
the hypocrisy of a country where young women are "popping caffeine
pills and turning jaundiced" as they slave away in factories
helping to fund higher education for male siblings.' The
Independent 'Enthralling and enraging.' Sunday Express 'Cho's
moving, witty and powerful novel forces us to face our reality, in
which one woman is seen, pretty much, as interchangeable with any
other. There's a logic to Kim Jiyoung's shape-shifting: she could
be anybody.' Daily Telegraph

Disorientation by Elaine Hsieh Chou is an uproarious and bighearted
satire - alive with sharp edges, immense warmth, and a cast of
unforgettable characters - that asks: who gets to tell our stories?
And how does the story change when we finally tell it ourselves?
Twenty-nine-year-old PhD student Ingrid Yang is desperate to finish
her dissertation on the late canonical poet Xiao-Wen Chou and never
read about 'Chinese-y' things. When she accidentally stumbles upon
a strange and curious note in the Chou archives, she convinces
herself it's her ticket out of academic hell. But Ingrid's in much
deeper than she thinks. Her clumsy exploits to unravel the note's
message lead to an explosive discovery, one that upends her entire
life and the lives of those around her. With her trusty friend
Eunice Kim by her side and her rival Vivian Vo hot on her tail,
together they set off a roller coaster of mishaps and
misadventures, from campus protests and over-the-counter drug
hallucinations, to book burnings and a movement that stinks of
Yellow Peril propaganda. In the aftermath, nothing looks the same,
including her gentle and doting fiance . . . As the events Ingrid
instigated keep spiraling, she'll have to confront her sticky
relationship to white men and white institutions - and, most of
all, herself. 'The funniest novel I've read all year' - Aravind
Adiga, author of The White Tiger

From the author of international bestseller Kim Jiyoung, Born
1982 ''Cho’s complex, humane, and by its end utterly transfixing
novel shows that it is in community that we find
resilience.' i newspaper 'Like Bong Joon-ho's Academy
Award-winning film Parasite and the popular Netflix series
Squid Games, Saha points to the increasing inequality and lack of
social mobility in South Korea. ... With global inequality on the
rise, Saha’s theme of human dignity quashed by the interests of
mega-corporations resonates widely.' Guardian '[A]n affecting
portrait of people doing their best to survive in a world that
would rather pretend they didn’t exist.' New York Times In a
country called ‘Town’, Su is found dead in an abandoned car.
The suspected killer is presumed to come from the Saha Estates.
Town is a privatised country, controlled by a secretive
organisation known as the Seven Premiers. It is a society clearly
divided into the haves and have-nots and those who have the very
least live on the Saha Estates. Among their number is Jin-Kyung, a
young woman whose brother, Dok-yung, was in a relationship with Su
and quickly becomes the police’s prime suspect. When Dok-yung
disappears, Jin Ky-ung is determined to get to the bottom of
things. On her quest to find the truth, though, she will uncover a
reality far darker and crimes far greater than she could ever have
imagined. At once a dystopian mystery and devastating
critique of how we live now, Saha lifts the lid on corruption,
exploitation and government oppression, while, with deep humanity
and compassion, showing us the lives of those who, through no fault
of their own, suffer at the hand of brutal forces far beyond their
control. Praise for Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 'It
