The Fran Lebowitz Reader
Acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious, this is the definitive essay collection from New York legend and satirist, Fran Lebowitz, star of Martin Scorsese's hit Netflix series, Pretend It's a City.
'The gold standard for intelligence, efficiency and humour. Now and forever' DAVID SEDARIS
'She's inexhaustible - her personality, her knowledge, her brilliance, most of all her humour' MARTIN SCORSESE
'The rare example of a legend living up to her own mythology. She really is THAT funny' HADLEY FREEMAN
Lebowitz turns her trademark caustic wit to the vicissitudes of life - from children ('rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money') to landlords ('it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches'). And her attitude to work is the perfect antidote to our exhausting culture of self-betterment ('3.40pm. I consider getting out of bed. I reject the notion as being unduly vigorous. I read and smoke a bit more').
'Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things and small people talk about wine'
'Think before you speak. Read before you think'
'All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable'
'There is no such thing as inner peace. There is only nervousness and death'
'The opposite of talking isn't listening. The opposite of talking is waiting'

The Scent of Death
'A superbly strong read' The Times
What began as a straightforward case is about to become a twisted nightmare . . .
Once a busy hospital, St Jude's now stands derelict, awaiting demolition.
When a partially mummified corpse is found in the building's cavernous loft, forensics expert Dr David Hunter is called in to take a look. He can't say how long the body's been there, but he is certain it's that of a young woman. And that she was pregnant.
Then part of the attic floor collapses, revealing another of the hospital's secrets: a bricked-up chamber with beds inside. And some of them are still occupied.
And it soon becomes clear that St Jude's hasn't claimed its last victim . . .
Chilling, visceral and masterfully paced, Simon Beckett's new crime thriller will leave you gasping.

Michael Jackson - On the Wall
Michael Jackson, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, also has the distinction of being the most depicted cultural figure; an inspiration for an extraordinary array of leading artists - from Andy Warhol and Isa Genzken to David Hammons and Glenn Ligon - working in a variety of styles and media. This book, which accompanies a major exhibition, examines their artistic responses to an enduring international icon and features essays by Margo Jefferson and Zadie Smith.
Michael Jackson (1958-2009) is certainly one of the most influential cultural figures of the last fifty years. Almost a decade after his death, Jackson's impact shows no signs of diminishing: his record sales, now well into the hundreds of millions, continue to grow, his videos are still watched and his enormous fan base remains loyal to his memory. Alongside his lingering influence as a recording artist, the questions that surrounded his fame, success, race and gender during his lifetime remain an indelible aspect of his legacy.
Coinciding with what would have been Jackson's sixtieth birthday in 2018, this book will be published at a moment when his cultural significance and the many complex issues it raises will be reassessed and made newly relevant. Nicholas Cullinan and his co-authors ask why so many contemporary artists have been drawn to Jackson as an image and a subject, and also why he continues to loom so large in our collective cultural imagination. In addition to existing works spanning several different generations of artists and across all media, the book features several new portraits by major artists commissioned especially for this unique project. Like Jackson himself, this innovative book will simultaneously have mass appeal and raise complex and thought provoking questions.
Artists include: Rita Ackerman, Dara Birnbaum, Candice Breitz, Mark Flood, Isa Genzken, Maggi Hambling, David Hammons, Lyle Ashton Harris, Jonathan Horowitz, Gary Hume, Rashid Johnson, Isaac Julien, David LaChapelle, Louise Lawler, Klara Liden, Glenn Ligon, Paul McCarthy, Dawn Mellor, Lorraine O'Grady, Catherine Opie, Grayson Perry, Paul Pfeiffer, Donald Urquhart, Andy Warhol, Kehinde Wiley, Hank Willis Thomas, Jordan Wolfson

"A "kolléga és nagy rivális" Henry Kissinger munkásságáról könyvtárnyi irodalom jelent meg, semmi sem indokolja, hogy ennyire mellőzzünk egy olyan életutat, amely van annyira izgalmas, eredeti és hatékony, mint Kissingeré.
Charles Gati könyve egymásra szervesen épülő négy részből áll. Az elsőben azonosítják Brzezinski mára már állandósult helyét abban a befolyásos politikai és értelmiségi közegben, amelynek rálátása van az Egyesült Államok nagypolitikai döntéseire: itt születnek meg azok a koncepciók, amelyekre a döntések meghozatalakor a politikai szféra gyakran támaszkodik. A második rész tanulmányai történeti szempontból elemzik és értékelik a Nemzetbiztonsági Tanácsban eltöltött éveket. A harmadik az ezt követő időszakot mutatja be, amikor Brzeziski nem látványos, mégis a szó szoros értelmében sorsdöntő missziókat vállalt. Teljesen újszerűen, eddig ismeretlen tényeket felsorakoztatva mutatja be például II. János Pál pápa és Brzezinski "konspirációit", melyek mintegy felgyorsították a lengyel rendszerváltást. Az utolsó fejezet egyfajta személyes számadás a professzorról, az amerikai értelmiségiről és a lengyel hazafiról.
A bevezetőt Charles Gati írta, ő maga válogatta a tanulmányokat, és ő kérte fel a szerzőket, akik között olyan, világszerte jól ismert személységek vannak, mint Francis Fukuyama filozófus vagy Adam Garfinkle, a The American Interest alapító főszerkesztője, aki a The National Interestet is szerkesztette korábban, vagy David J. Rothkopf, a Foreign Policy folyóirat igazgatója. Az előszőt Jimmy Carter jegyzi, akinek az elnöksége idején Brzezinski nemzetbiztonsági tanácsadóként élete legmagasabb közéleti pozícióját töltötte be." (Ara-Kovács Attila)

Zahir /AJ
With more than 30 million copies sold, The Alchemist" is one of the best loved and bestselling books in the world. "The Zahir", Paulo Coelho's new novel, is a perfect follow-on to "The Alchemist". Paulo picks up the theme of the pilgrimage but tells a very different, gripping story of love, loss and passionate obsession. It begins with a glimpse or a passing thought. It ends in obsession. One day, a renowned author discovers that his wife, a war correspondent, has disappeared leaving no trace. Though time brings more success and new love, he remains mystified - and increasingly fascinated - by her absence. Was she kidnapped, blackmailed, or simply bored with their marriage? The unrest she causes is as strong as the attraction she exerts. His search for her - and for the truth of his own life - takes him from France to Spain, Croatia and, eventually, the bleakly beautiful landscape of Central Asia. More than that, it takes him from the safety of his world to a totally unknown path, searching for a new understanding of the nature of love and the power of destiny. With "The Zahir", Paulo Coelho demonstrates not just his powerful and captivating storytelling, but also his extraordinary insight into what it is to be a human being in a world full of possibility."
