Beginning Middle End
From the award-winning author of Lost Children Archive, Valeria Luiselli, comes a wondrous new novel about family, time and starting over.
All I had to do, or so I thought, was to answer a simple question: How do I reinvent it, the story, our lives?
A mother and a daughter take off on a road trip after the collapse of a marriage. Their journey begins in Sicily during a summer of rapidly-changing winds, volcanic rumbles and sudden tempests. How do you begin again, the mother wonders, if you got the beginning wrong? The trip soon becomes a quest for origins - not just through their family history, but also further back to a mythical and even geological past.
With her daughter leaving childhood behind and her mother beginning to show signs of dementia, the narrator finds herself at a crossroads. She must now ask herself: How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family's memories made and what happens when they disappear?
A road novel, a mother-daughter story, a radical portrait of starting over, in all its forms, Beginning Middle End offers an exhilarating testament to the power of the stories and the loves we hold most dear.
The Good Parts
She erased their past.
He's rewriting their future.
When Landon receives a letter from Rose - the woman he once planned forever with - he learns their love story is over. She's undergone a radical memory-erasing treatment, leaving behind her grief, her past . . . and him. But Landon can't bear to lose the love of his life. If she fell for him once, couldn't she fall for him again?
Now living in Edinburgh, Rose's world is a blank canvas, and she's dating someone new. When Landon re-enters her life as a stranger, they become friends, their lives entwining once more. But what Rose doesn't know is that this new friend carries the weight of everything they once shared: their firsts, their marriage, and the heartbreak they barely survived. And when she starts exhibiting strange symptoms, it becomes clear their history isn't gone - it's just buried. And remembering could come at a devastating cost.
Told in alternating timelines - his from the present, hers from the past - The Good Parts is an achingly poignant story about the people we become across a lifetime, and the quiet grace of learning to let go while holding on to what's worth keeping.
This is one love story you'll never forget.

A hamvak királya
Roman Carruthers maga mögött hagyta a kisvárosi életet családja krematóriumának füstjével és lángjaival együtt. Atlantában, pénzügyi tanácsadóként éli felszínes, luxusban tobzódó életét, ám egy nap húga, Neveah azzal hívja, hogy édesapjuk kómába esett egy cserbenhagyásos gázolás után. Hazatérve Roman rájön, hogy a baleset nem a véletlen műve. Az öccse, Dante veszélyes és könyörtelen bűnözőknek tartozik.
A pénzügyi zseni Roman, aki páratlanul bánik a számokkal és mesteri ügyességgel teszi gazdaggá az ügyfeleit, rendelkezik némi félretett pénzzel, amivel kisegíthetné öccsét a bajból. Csakhogy már elfelejtette, milyen az, amikor az ember valódi gengszterekkel találja szemben magát. Hamarosan ráébred, hogy csak egyetlen dolgot ajánlhat fel a testvére megmentéséért: önmagát és sajátos szaktudását.
Miközben a sorscsapások, a véletlenek és a szívfájdalom lángba borítja az életüket, a Carruthers családnak össze kell fognia a túlélésért, máskülönben a világukból csak por és hamu marad. Mert ahogy az apjuk már gyerekkorukban megtanította nekik, semmi sem tart örökké. Egyszer minden el fog égni.
S. A. Cosby új regénye ismét egy letehetetlen déli noir, melyet ezúttal A keresztapa ihletett.
Most Honorable Son
The first and only comprehensive biography of unjustly forgotten war hero Ben Kuroki, a Japanese American farm boy from Nebraska who flew fifty-eight combat missions during World War II while battling racism, injustice, and prejudice on the home front.WINNER OF THE NEBRASKA BOOK AWARD With a foreword by Naomi Ostwald Kawamura of Densho. Introduction by William Fujioka of JANM. Afterword by Jonathan Eig.Ben Kuroki was a 24-year-old Japanese American farm boy whose heritage was never a problem in remote Nebraska—until Pearl Harbor. Among the millions of Americans who flocked to military stations to enlist, Ben wanted to avenge the attack, reclaim his family honor, and prove his patriotism. But as anti-Japanese sentiment soared, Ben had to fight to be allowed to fight for America. And fight he did.As a gunner on Army Air Forces bombers, Ben flew 58 missions spanning Europe, North America, and the Pacific, including the climactic B-29 firebombing campaign against Japan that culminated in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In between his harrowing combat tours, he challenged FDR’s shameful incarceration of more than a 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry in America. In the euphoric wake of America’s victory, the decorated war hero used his national platform to carry out what he called his “fifty-ninth mission,” urging his fellow Americans to do more to eliminate bigotry and racism at home.Ben’s extraordinary story is a quintessentially American one of patriotism, principle, perseverance, and courage. It’s about being in the vanguard of history, the bonding of a band of brothers united in a just cause, a timeless and unflinching account of racial bigotry, and one man’s transcendent sense of belonging—in war, in peace, abroad, and at home.

Medúza
Odette je něco přes dvacet, má vlastní byt, stálé zaměstnání v místním knihkupectví, roztomilého králíčka a právě prožívá první vzplanutí k jednomu ze svých zákazníků. Jenže ji pronásleduje něco, co vidí jen ona: medúza plující v jejím oku, která jí brání ve výhledu. Z počátku se to zdá být jako nepodstatný problém… dokud se medúza nezačne množit. Medúza je mistrovské dílo grafického vyprávění s úchvatnými a nápaditými ilustracemi Boum. Silný, místy děsivý příběh o tom, jak čelit nepřízni osudu, a najít světlo, jež nás provede temnotou. Komiks získal řadu prestižních ocenění, mimo jiné Eisner Award, Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize Honor Book, Doug Wright Nipper Award a Graphic Medicine Award.

Bílé Volvo
Nehoda v továrně se stane rozbuškou událostí, které vedou k útokům na přední obchodní lídry země. Vyšetřování se rozbíhá, vše je ale nějak divně pokřivené a hranice mezi pouhou náhodou a konspirací je značně rozmlžená. Pevně dané jsou naopak příčky společenského žebříčku a bezskrupulózní honba za ziskem. Bílé Volvo je ponurý, groteskně absurdní sociální thriller. Je to kniha otevírající dveře naší fantazie, nabízející pastvu pro oči, těkající potravu pro mysl a možná vůbec žádné odpovědi. Bílé Volvo získalo prestižní cenu Urhunden za nejlepší švédský komiks roku 2026.

Shadow Men
"Polchin knows the era, and brings to his account a wealth of colorful supporting detail . . . With its layers of taboos and public spectacle, the case feels, a century later, as relevant as ever." —Marisa Meltzer, The New York Times Book ReviewFrom Edgar Award finalist James Polchin comes a thrilling examination of the murder that captivated Jazz Age America, with echoes of the decadence and violence of The Great GatsbyOn the morning of May 16, 1922, a young man’s body was found on a desolate road in Westchester County. The victim was penniless ex-sailor Clarence Peters. Walter Ward, the handsome scion of the family that owned the largest chain of bread factories in the country, confessed to the crime as an act of self-defense against a violent gang of “shadow men,” blackmailers who extorted their victims’ moral weaknesses. From the start, one question defined the investigation: What scandalous secret could lead Ward to murder?For sixteen months, the media fueled a firestorm of speculation. Unscrupulous criminal attorneys, fame-seeking chorus girls, con artists, and misogynistic millionaires harnessed the power of the press to shape public perception. New York governor and future presidential candidate Al Smith and editor of the Daily News Joseph Medill Patterson leveraged the investigation to further professional ambitions. Famous figures like Harry Houdini, Arthur Conan Doyle, and F. Scott Fitzgerald weighed in. As the bereaved working-class Peters family sought to bring the callous Ward to justice, America watched enraptured.Capturing the extraordinary twists and turns of the case, Shadow Men conjures the excess and contradictions of the Jazz Age and reveals the true-crime origins of the media-led voyeurism that reverberates through contemporary life. It’s a story of privilege and power that lays bare the social inequity that continues to influence our system of justice.
