The Architecture of Fear
'Brilliant, inventive and marvellously written' ALBERTO MANGUELA world without walls, without curtains, is not believable. Because there is no world without fears. Walls, curtains, are the architecture of fear. And the fear is us. At the heart of a forest there is a city surrounded by walls. Inside, the people are haunted by the memory of The Great Disaster that eliminated two thirds of their population. A dictatorial regime insists that order and discipline will protect the people from the threats of nature, but when a soldier is found mutilated outside the city walls on a winter's night, a new order takes root silently in the minds of the oppressed. One by one, they gather to listen to the voice of a man claiming to possess the gift of knowing what is to come. The man known as The Messenger.

His translations include Other Carnivals: Short Stories from Brazil (Full Circle Editions, 2013) and The Return, by Dulce Maria Cardoso (Maclehose Press, 2016).

Jackson Alone
A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, Jackson Alone is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender - a frank exploration of identity, race, and queerness in contemporary Japan.
Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist, Jackson, but rumours abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He's mixed race: half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa-n. He might be gay. Fuelling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent, pornographic video featuring a man who looks like a lot like Jackson.
When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he's not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who's responsible and, in the meantime, exploit the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart to trick people who've wronged them.
From an Akutagawa prize winning author, Jackson Alone asks complex questions about how we see ourselves and how we see others, as well as what it really means to get revenge.
