LONGLISTED for the 2017 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION

An urgent, essential collection of stories about immigration, broken dreams, Los Angeles gang members, Latin American families, and other tales of high stakes journeys, from the award-winning author of War by Candlelight and At Night We Walk in Circles.

Migration. Betrayal. Family secrets. Doomed love. Uncertain futures. In Daniel Alarc n's hands, these are transformed into deeply human stories with high stakes. In "The Thousands," people are on the move and forging new paths; hope and heartbreak abound. A man deals with the fallout of his blind relatives' mysterious deaths and his father's mental breakdown and incarceration in "The Bridge." A gang member discovers a way to forgiveness and redemption through the haze of violence and trauma in "The Ballad of Rocky Rontal." And in the tour de force novella, "The Auroras", a man severs himself from his old life and seeks to make a new one in a new city, only to find himself seduced and controlled by a powerful woman. Richly drawn, full of unforgettable characters, The King is Always Above the People reveals experiences both unsettling and unknown, and yet eerily familiar in this new world.

Soft, Good Smelling, Cleans Great!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
This is easily my favorite facial cleanser I have used TO DATE. The first thing I always notice with hygiene products is the scent, and you can trust me when I say it's the best smelling scent you'll recieve on any Male product. Scent - The best way to describe it would be Pine, vanilla, with a refreshing kick. It is SO nice! Cleansing - This is, surprisingly, one of the best facial cleansing products I've ever used. It goes on gently, and does not have that "burning" sensation that some products leave on your face. It washes off softly and leaves my face feeling VERY smooth. The only small problem I've run into is a little bit of dryness left on my cheeks, but my skin is VERY sensitive so it's understandable. A very small amount of moisturizer fixes that easily! Conclusion - It cleans my face very gently, and leaves it feeling clean, smooth, and hydrated! The scent is fantastic, unique, but not too strong. I recommend this to ANYONE! And would be an amazing gift!!!

Fantastic facial cleanser
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
This stuff is really good. I've been using it for a year now. I usually hate facial cleansers like Cetaphil because they dry your face out and smell like farmers soap. This one has a light musky smell and really makes you feel refreshed. I will keep buying this stuff as long as they keep making it.

Just buy some!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
Have been looking for a new product to replace my previous expensive cleanser, and couldn't be happier with this. A little bit does the job and feels great. Along with the matching moisturizer it's a win win combination! 70 year old male.

Awesome
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Facial Cleanser
Might go to facial cleaner for every day use. All the products from marlowe are awesome no exception. The scent kind of has a slight pine to it. I have bought several times now
