What Am I, A Deer?


What does it mean to lose yourself – and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession – not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.

But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey 'there and back again'. They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon… The prelude to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit has sold many millions of copies since its publication in 1937, establishing itself as one of the most beloved and influential books of the twentieth century.

Paradiso 17


LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2026 ‘Miraculous’ OMAR EL AKKAD ‘Stunning’ MAAZA MENGISTE ‘Suffused with tenderness’ NEW YORK TIMES ‘Beautiful and powerful’ LISA OWENS ‘Wondrous’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH An extraordinary, sweeping novel following one man's itinerant search for home across the globe, after his childhood exile from Palestine. All his life, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe. Born in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. In this moment time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward – although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the forgetful assurance of wine. When life carries him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls in love with a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Until finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of a desert much like his first home. Paradiso 17 is haunted with grief and yet it is also struck through with the dazzling light of a life truly lived and a love that connects us, no matter our distance. Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins. Listen, this is his story. ‘An exquisite novel … unforgettable’ OMAR EL AKKAD, author of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This ‘I could not put this down … Compassionate, elegiac and suffuse with unflinching wit’ MAAZA MENGISTE, author of The Shadow King ‘A gripping story of a soul in exile’ JUSTIN TORRES, author of Blackouts ‘A miraculous novel’ KASIM ALI, author of Who Will Remain ‘Remarkable … read it, read it, read it’ RABIH ALAMEDDINE, author of The True True Story of Raja the Gullible ‘Lyrical and gorgeously original … reads as poetry’ LITHUB

Brit


Rose Cassidyová nežije, len existuje, pretože jediný spôsob, ako sa dá prežiť v tomto nemilosrdnom svete, je otupiť sa voči bolesti a strachu. Keď sa v smrteľnej hre o moc stáva rukojemníčkou mafiána Dannyho Blacka, narastá v nej záujem, ale aj hlboká túžba. Už počula príbehy o Britovi, o jeho krutosti a bezcitnosti. Nikto jej však nepovedal, že je aj zlovestne príťažlivý. Vidí priamo do jej duše a zároveň v nej vzbudzuje nádej – pocit, ktorý je pre ňu krutejší než všetko ostatné. Keď si Danny ako záruku vyžiadal krásnu milenku jedného zo svojich nepriateľov, netušil, aké to bude mať následky. Rose ho svojím divokým šarmom tlačí na pokraj šialenstva, až si musí pripomínať, že je len nástrojom, riešením problému. Napriek tomu v Dannym vyvoláva silné city, ktoré by ho mohli stáť život. Najmä keď ho chcú všetci zabiť. Preklad z anglického originálu The Brit (2021) Andrea Vargovčíková.
