Orpheus Builds a Girl
A hotly-anticipated modern Gothic horror story of sexual obsession, medical abuse, and coercion masquerading as love, for fans of Carmen Maria Machado and Eliza Clark "A chilling exploration of power, love and grief, written with incredible precision by a major talent" -- Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under the Sea Based on a gruesome true story, this is a compelling, horrifying, and heartbreaking debut novel of sisterly love, sinister obsession, and the battle to control--and challenge--a perpetrator's twisted version of events. Wilhelm von Tore is dying. As he looks back on his life he reflects on his youth in Dresden, his grandmother and his medical career during WWII. But mostly, he remembers his darling Luci, the dark-haired beauty promised to him years before they met. Though only together for a few months in her first life, Wilhelm knows their love is written in the stars. And he ensures that death is only the beginning. But through the cracks in Wilhelm's story there is another voice-that of Gabriela, and she will not let this version of events go unchallenged. She tells instead the story of her fearless sister Luciana and the madman who robbed her from her grave. Creepy yet intensely gripping, sinister yet shot through with mesmerizing beauty, this is the debut novel from Heather Parry, a rising literary star of the genre, longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize.
The Writers' Castle
A gripping new approach to the Nuremberg Trial, told through the stories of the many great writers who came to witness it "A riveting group portrait that puts these celebrity reporters in the spotlight... An engaging blend of gossipy anecdote and precise, thought-provoking analysis" -- Financial Times Nuremberg, 1945. As the trials of Nazi war criminals begin, some of the world's most famous writers and reporters gather in the ruined German city. Among them are Rebecca West, John Dos Passos, Martha Gellhorn, Erika Mann and Janet Flanner. Crammed together in the press camp at Schloss Faber-Castell, where reporters sleep ten to a room and complain about the food and argue in the lively bar, they each try to find words for the unprecedented events they are witnessing. Here, tensions simmer between Soviet and Western journalists, unlikely affairs begin, stories are falsified and fabricated--and each reporter is forever changed by what they experience. As Uwe Neumahr builds an engrossing group portrait of the literary luminaries at Nuremberg, readers are taken to the heart of the political and cultural conflicts of the time--observing history at the very moment it was being written. Providing fascinating accounts of his subjects' experiences at Nuremberg, Neumahr shows how those experiences marked their future lives, as well as their approaches to writing. What emerges is both a multi-faceted depiction of the trials as a unique mass-media event, but also as a public reckoning with evil that had untold private reverberations for all who witnessed it.
What Do I Know?
Stunning paperback edition of this fresh translation of Montaigne's most profound, searching essays, with an introduction from Yiyun Li, author of The Book of Goose This gift-worthy collection of 16 essays by "the father of the essay" is a short, accessible introduction to his work, offering a fascinating glimpse inside a great Renaissance mind "I myself am the subject of my book." So wrote Montaigne in the introductory note to his Essays, the book that marked the birth of the modern essay form. In works of probing intelligence and idiosyncratic observation, Montaigne moved from intimate personal observation to roving theories of the conduct of kings and cannibals, the effects of sorrow and fear, and the fallibility of human memory and judgement. This new selection of Montaigne's 16 most ingenious essays appears in a lucid new translation by the prize-winning David Coward. What Do I Know? gives the modern reader profound insight into a great Renaissance mind. What Do I Know? is divided into 3 sections and includes: MONTAIGNE ON MONTAIGNE On Sorrow, On how our Actions are to be judged by the Intention, On Idling, On Liars, That we should not be considered happy until we are dead ON THE PURSUIT OF REASON On Fear, To tell true from false, it is folly to rely on our own capacities, How we can cry and laugh at the same thing, On Solitude, On the Uncertainty of our Judgement, On Drunkenness ON GOVERNANCE AND GOVERNORS On Cannibals, On the Inequality that exists between us, On Sleep, On our lease of life, On Carriages
