The Benign Ogre


The skeleton of an unknown and apparently unclassifiable very large hominid is unearthed in Brazil and smuggled back to England, where it is forensically examined by a senior government pathologist.  By a coincidence, a few months later trappers engaged by a zoo on an animal conservation programme in Sumatra, encounter a huge manlike creature which can communicate with them.  Clandestinely, one of the party manages to film and audio-tape the creature, which warns them not to try to entrap animals or it will destroy their stockade. It claims to be a protector of all life-forms. News of the alleged beast leaks out, despite attempts by various authorities to ridicule its existence.  Many regard it as a hoax until irrefutable evidence is finally produced, when it becomes an almost godlike figurehead for a burgeoning environmental movement but is likewise regarded as an enemy of international business and commerce due to its uncompromising message of protecting the environment. Efforts are made by some to capture or even kill the being, whilst others, bewitched by their encounters with it, strive to protect both it and its message. Its name is Myamahatu.

A Better Life


‘A superb satirical novelist’ WASHINGTON POST In a provocative novel addressing contemporary immigration by the sharply observant Lionel Shriver, a New York family takes in a Honduran migrant – who may or may not be the innocent paragon she claims to be. ‘An incendiary provocateur’ EVENING STANDARD ‘A gleeful satire on the immigration debate’ THE TIMES Gloria Bonaventura, a divorced mother of three living with her 26-year-old son Nico in a sprawling house in Brooklyn, decides to participate in a new city programme – Big Apple, Big Heart – that would pay her to take in a migrant as a boarder. Gloria is thrilled when sweet, kind, helpful Martine arrives. But Nico is sceptical. A classic live-at-home, unemployed Gen Zer with no interest in adulthood, Nico resents the indignity of moving from his self-contained basement flat and back into his childhood bedroom. As the months go by, Martine endears herself to both Nico’s sisters, while finding her way into Gloria’s heart. But as Martine’s disturbingly dodgy compatriots begin to show up, Nico grows only more hostile to both his mother’s altruism and the ‘migrant crisis’ in general – though turns out to be anything but a reliable narrator himself.

A többi anyuka utál engem


Egy anya bármire képes, hogy megmentse a gyermekét. Bármire. Florence Grimesnak minden esélye megvolt, hogy másképp alakuljon az élete. Egy sikeres lánycsapatban énekelt, összejött egy gazdag sráccal, közös gyerekük született... majd váratlanul elromlottak a dolgok. A zenei karrierje csúfos véget ért, és bár Florence még mindig csak harmincegy éves, már tíz éve egyedül neveli a fiát, Dylant. Ráadásul nem éppen mintaanyaként. Mégis, ha mondani kellene valamit, miért kel fel minden reggel – az éhgyomorra elfogyasztott energiaital, a valóságshow-k bámulása és az alkalmi kapcsolatok mellett –, akkor a válasza egyértelmű: mindennél jobban szereti egy szem gyermekét. Amikor azonban egy nap fia osztálytársa és egyben zaklatója, a gazdag Risby család örököse, Alfie eltűnik, mindkettejük élete fenekestül felfordul – Dylanből lesz ugyanis az ügy első számú gyanúsítottja. Florence pedig, aki az életben mindig is a könnyebbik utat választotta, most olyan feladattal néz szembe, amely elől nem bújhat el: meg kell találnia Alfie-t, és tisztára kell mosnia a fia nevét. Ám van egy bökkenő: Florence-nek semmi érzéke a nyomozáshoz, az anyukák az iskolából ki nem állhatják, és most még Alfie hátizsákja is előkerült… Dylan ágya alól. A többi anyuka utál engem a Hatalmas kis hazugságok világát fűszerezi meg egy Finlay Donovanhez hasonlóan felejthetetlen és mindenre elszánt hősnővel. Sarah Harman bemutatkozó regényét Christopher Storer, A mackó című sorozat alkotója tervezi televízióra adaptálni.

Selected Papers of Coomaraswamy, Volume 1


A collection of important essays by a pioneering interpreter of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology“Brilliant.”—Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces“Varied, imaginative, incredibly learned. . . . Fascinating.”—John Kenneth Galbraith, New York Times Book ReviewAnanda K. Coomaraswamy (1877–1947) was a pioneer in the study of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology—and in the cultural meeting of East and West. A scholar in the tradition of the great Indian grammarians and philosophers, an art historian convinced that the ultimate value of art transcends history, and a social thinker influenced by William Morris, Coomaraswamy was a unique figure whose works provide virtually a complete education in themselves. Finding a universal tradition in past cultures ranging from the Hellenic and Christian to the Indian, Islamic, and Chinese, he presented his ideas in numerous essays. This volume includes a selection of his essays on art and symbolism that were written in the 1930s and 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers.

The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century, Volume 1 (LOA #394)


A diverse, unprecedented gathering of more than one hundred stories, representing work by fifty different writers. As much a nineteenth-century American invention as the cotton gin and the steamboat, the short story emerged here with a range of innovation and a variety of styles and subjects that has still not been fully appreciated. Diverse, wide-ranging, and unprecedented in its scope, The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century gathers more than one hundred stories by fifty different writers. This first volume of Library of America''s two-volume collection of nineteenth-century American short fiction tracks the development of the American short story from Charles Brockden Brown''s fragments and Washington Irving''s sketches to Poe''s gothic tales of horror to Mark Twain''s humourous stories. Represented here by generous selections are all the major figures-Irving, Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, and Twain-as well as Rose Terry Cooke, also a major writer, restored to a place of prominence in this anthology with three unforgettable masterpieces. Among the many unexpected writers in this volume are: William Austin, so crucial to the development of Hawthorne and Poe; the antebellum Black writer and physician James McCune Smith, whose sketches in his ''Heads of the Colored People'' series lampooned the pseudoscientific racism of phrenology; Lucretia Hale, the author of the feminist fantasy ''The Queen of the Red Chessman,'' perhaps the greatest one-hit wonder of the mid-nineteenth century; Francis Parkman, whose early magazine fiction remains unknown today even to many scholars; and Fitz-James O''Brien, the author of such unnerving horror stories as ''The Lost Room'' and ''What Was It?,'' whose true themes and concerns twenty-first century readers, accustomed to reading gay fiction, will not miss. Unrivalled in its range and textual authority, the anthology includes biographies of each writer, a chronology of writers and the American short story from 1800 to 1900, and extensive notes.
