Twenty-Twenty Vision
Christine Beckett is faced with some home truths when her best friend, suffering from dementia, decides after a lifetime to be honest with her; Olivia Fletcher has an epiphany at a vaccination centre about a man who has loved her for decades; Bernard Travers revisits an unlikely romantic interlude with the mother of his teenage pen pal that has sustained him for 40 years. Twenty-Twenty Vision is a collection of interlinked short stories about hindsight and late middle-age regret subtly framed within the first year of the pandemic. It’s also a portrait, an emotional map of the 1950s generation moving into the third age with a mixture of apprehension and regret. The characters make chastening discoveries – one finds after a lifetime that she’s a bullying victim, another draws up a curriculum vitae of her emotional life when there are no jobs left to apply for. The work focuses on a handful of characters – Christine, Olivia, Bernard, Freddie, Triona and Eva – as they revisit their past and grapple with late-life perspectives. The overarching narrative is connected by character and situation, and united in theme, to form a tapestry of late middle-age reckoning.
České úlohy
Spisovatel a filozof Ladislav Klíma byl v roce 1895 jako šestnáctiletý kvůli protidynastickému výroku ve školní úloze vyloučen nejen z domažlického gymnázia, ale ze všech rakouských škol. Mnozí to považovali za neštěstí, on sám za osvobození. Po 130 letech byl objeven inkriminovaný sešit jeho slohových prací, za něž byl opakovaně kárán a trestán. Jejich první vydání provází životopisná esej, která rekonstruuje Klímova školní léta a objasňuje některé širší souvislosti. Kniha obsahuje i protokol o vyloučení a nově nalezený protokol z vyšetřování, tedy záznam rozhovoru-výslechu probíhajícího mezi ředitelem školy a žákem. K vydání připravil a úvodní studii a ediční komentář napsal Matěj Klíma.

The Great Wherever
THE DEAD ARE RELENTLESS GOSSIPS, OR AT LEAST THESE DEAD ARE...
A year after her father's death, Aubrey learns she has inherited a share of a farm on the sun-streaked plains of Tennessee. Seeking a way to erase a mounting pile of debt, she travels South to meet a family she barely knows.
Watching her arrival are four ghosts: Aubrey's ancestors, and the keepers of the farm's secrets. As Aubrey gets to know her living relatives, the story of the land unfolds - her great-grandfather who bought it, one of the first Black landowners in the community, the four children set to inherit it, their bitter rivalries, and a tragedy that echoes through the decades...
With the sale of the farm looming, the ghosts face exile, and Aubrey must decide how much of her future she is willing to sacrifice to the claims of the past.
Dazzling and expansive, The Great Wherever is a multigenerational portrait of the American South, exploring land and legacy, race and generational wealth, and the sharp fragments of the past - how they spark and shine against the surface of our ordinary lives.

Missing in Soho
These are the last words of stabbed private investigator Sylvester Green – before he is whisked away by ambulance from Soho’s Lady’s Bar.
Lady’s Bar’s glamorous owner, drag queen Misty Divine, hears in his words both a warning and a puzzle. Perhaps that’s why she’s less than candid with the police.

But who is Jeremy? And will whoever hurt Sylvester come for Misty next?
With danger at her heels, Misty is determined to follow Sylvester’s clues and help bring Jeremy home.
But the deeper she digs, the more she realises that the link between her and whatever Jeremy was caught up in threatens to destroy everything she holds dear – including her beloved Lady’s Bar.
Can Misty find Jeremy, save Lady’s Bar, and solve the case? Or will the next disappearing act be her own…

White Rabbits/Down Below
Playful, sharp and fantatsical: a new selection of writing by Leonora Carrington, the last great Surrealist
In 1940, Leonora Carrington - a twenty-two-year-old British-born Surrealist artist - was persuaded to flee France and the advancing German army for Spain. Already suffering from a psychotic break occasioned by the arrest of her lover by the Nazi authorities, she was soon confined to a mental institution, where she was subjected to sadistic treatment under the guise of medical care. In her memoir, Down Below, she describes her experiences with an anthropologist's precision and an artist's sense of the fantastic.
This volume also includes a selection of Carrington's best stories from across her lifetime, functioning as companion pieces to her surrealist-inflected non-fiction. They include 'The Debutante', in which a young woman, wishing to avoid a ball in her honour, swaps places with a hyena; 'White Rabbits', which sees a friendly neighbour come by to ask for spare decomposing meat; and 'My Flannel Knickers', in which a woman has sainthood forced upon her.
You Won’t Get Free of It
Real-life stories of mothers and daughters - of what we inherit, what we bury and what we, finally, find the courage to say - by the award-winning New Yorker staff writer.
'She is simply brilliant' Anne Enright
'A beautiful, thoughtful and probing writer' Daisy Johnson
You Won't Get Free of It tells the stories of mothers and daughters searching for each other and for themselves. Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in the New Yorker and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book.
Aviv writes about one mother searching for her vanished daughter; another who sacrifices herself for her daughters by working as a nanny for other people's children. In the final story, a daughter's traumatic experience is erased by her family, only to be recast by her mother, the writer Alice Munro, in stories celebrated around the world.
You Won't Get Free of It is an astonishing exploration of the competing dynamics of knowing and unknowing, recognition and refusal, that shape our most foundational relationship.
Dějiny člověka - Kniha druhá
Další fascinující příběh Současného Člověka od počátků až po současnost. To, co nás neslo, už nestačí. Autoři Marty Q Nowak a Martin Kváča v druhém dílu Dějin Člověka pokračují tam, kde se věci přestávají vyslovovat nahlas a začínají být spíše tušeny, kde známé myšlenky mění význam a vracejí se jinak, než jak jsme je znali, a kde to, co se zdálo vzdálené, už nelze přehlédnout, protože některé věci se nesdělují, jen se s nimi setkáme.
