A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality—the black Chinese restaurant.

മനുഷ്യകുലത്തിന്റെ ഇന്നോളമുള്ള ചരിത്രത്തിലെ ഏറ്റം സങ്കീര്‍ണ്ണമായ ഒരു കാലത്തിലൂടെയാണ് നാം കടന്നുപോകുന്നത്. യുദ്ധങ്ങളും അതിസാ ങ്കേതികതയും മനുഷ്യപ്രകൃതിയെയും ജീവപ്രപഞ്ചത്തെയും കുടിലമാക്കുമ്പോള്‍ മഹാസ്‌നേഹത്തിന്റെ മതങ്ങളില്‍നിന്ന് ദൈവ ങ്ങള്‍ ഇറങ്ങിവരികയാണ്--ലോക സംസ്ഥാപന ത്തിനുള്ള പ്രേമഗീതയുമായി. ലോക നവീ കരണത്തിന്റെ പുതിയ മാനിഫെസ്റ്റോയാകുന്ന നോവല്‍.

Publicados entre 1992 y 1998, los poemas de La arena errante de José Emilio Pacheco reflejan la inquietud existencial y el asombro de estar vivos. La arena es tiempo que transcurre en un reloj. La arena es playa en la que se estrella el mar interminablemente. La arena errante es la que viaja en el desierto, sin dirección ni destino. La arena errante es la conciencia del tiempo en vilo que nunca se detiene. La poesía es el registro del instante y, en el caso de José Emilio Pacheco: conciencia de la vida que transcurre con todas sus imperfecciones y, también, con todas sus dichas.

Das Problem der Spielsucht ist heute aktueller denn je. Der weltweit berühmteste, auch mehrfach verfilmte Roman zu diesem Thema ist Der Spieler von Fjodor Michailowitsch Dostojewski. Keine leichte Lektüre!

Con poemas escritos entre 1985 y 1996, en El silencio de la Luna José Emilio Pacheco sintetiza hasta sus últimas posibilidades las palabras que animan sus poemas, hasta demostrar que están hechas "de la esencia del mundo". En la poesía de José Emilio Pacheco se reúnen la imaginación y la memoria, el gozo de la vida y la pesadumbre por el tiempo que pasa. El registro de los temas que abarcan sus poemas es amplio y generoso. Pero, más allá de eso, están la música de su poesía, los múltiples ritmos del mundo —música y ruido— que supo captar su oído prodigioso y la tenacidad de su honda mirada.

Il mondo in cui vivevo prima era finito. Ora mi toccava iniziare una nuova partita a nascondino con l'assassino. Vince chi trova per primo mia sorella. Cho Seoran non vede la sorella minore da dieci anni, da quando la ragazzina è fuggita di casa. Però di una cosa è sicura: non è Seohee la donna nella foto che le mostra la polizia, uccisa con dieci coltelli piantati nella schiena, come la loro madre anni prima, e come è disegnato sulla carta del Dieci di Spade dei tarocchi.

Mentre per le strade dell'Addis Abeba del 1974 si rovescia la rabbia verso le politiche dell'impero, Hailu estrae un proiettile dalla schiena di un ragazzo ferito a un corteo. Muove il bisturi con le mani autorevoli di chi è abituato a curare. La medicina gli impone efficienza, rigore, distacco. Eppure in quella sala operatoria Hailu pensa a suo figlio Dawit, forse coetaneo del paziente a cui cerca di salvare la vita. Forse anche lui tra i dimostranti furiosi che sfidano la milizia di Hailé Selassié impegnata a sedare i disordini.

The Stone Door is an omen, an incantation, and an adventure story rolled into one. Built in layers like a puzzle box, it is the tale of two people, of love and the Zodiac and the Kabbalah, of Transylvania and Mesopotamia converging at the Caucasus, of a mad Hungarian King named Böles Kilary and of a woman's discovery of an initiatory code that leads to a Cyclopean obstacle, to love, self and awareness, to the great stone door of Kescke and beyond.

Jack Kerouac was one of America's great writers of the latter half of the twentieth century, yet he endured a life characterized by persistent hardship and disillusion. Leading Kerouac scholar Paul Maher Jr. targets the writer's embattled insight of self as central to his life and work. He reveals how Kerouac's troubled interactions with alcohol, drugs, and spirituality stamped its importance on his autobiographical prose and poetry and created a singular language that united thoughts on the human condition and spiritual liberation.

A truly significant discovery, Walt Whitman’s Manly Health and Training is an entertaining health manifesto that sheds new light on one of America’s major nineteenth-century authors. In the fall of 1858, a thirteen-part essay series appeared in the New York Atlas, under the title Manly Health and Training. This nearly 47,000-word journalistic effort, written by Walt Whitman under his pen name “Mose Velsor,” was lost for more than 150 years, buried in just a handful of library archives, until its recent unexpected discovery.

Sometimes Therapy Isn’t Enough finds the author coping with mental health struggles through poetry. The book is divided into four chapters, taking the listener on a raw emotional journey through anxiety, addiction, depression, and grief.

Jack Levitt – teenaged orphan and small-time criminal – lives off his wits, dividing his time between the pool halls, bars and brothels of Portland, Oregon. Billy Lancing is a young black runaway and pool hustler who falls into Jack’s orbit. After a messed-up heist lands Jack at reform school, he re-enters a world where Billy has struggled to find peace in a new middle-class life with marriage, fatherhood and a steady job. But neither man can outrun trouble for long, and they soon meet again in St Quentin Prison, trying to make sense of the hand life has dealt them.

The ripples from a breakup radiate outwards from the room where a married couple once loved each other, and a bizarre Lonely Hearts advert sets off a train of tragicomic events that lead to an inevitable conclusion. Tove Ditlevsen’s final novel – published a year before her suicide in 1976 – is a masterful conclusion to a great work of writing: a blackly funny and devastating tour-de-force that pulses with life even as it journeys towards death.
