Animal Stories
A curious exploration of mortality, alienation, boredom, surveillance and how we regard ourselves among the animals. ‘Few human animals have Zambreno’s baleful honesty, insight, or relish for comedy, when they look at themselves’ Daisy Hildyard, author of Hunters in the Snow and EmergencyAnimal Stories begins with Kate Zambreno’s visit to the monkey house at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, where one stark tree ‘seems to be the stage design for a simian production of Waiting for Godot’. But who are the players and who is the audience, and can they recognise each othe? hat follows is a series of reports from the deep strangeness of the zoo, a space that is ‘more often than not deeply sad, an odd choice for regular pilgrimages of fun’. Amid these excursions with their young children, Zambreno turns to Garry Winogrand’s photographs and John Berger’s writings on animals, reshaping the spectator as the subject to decipher our complex ‘zoo feelings’ – what we project, and what we refuse to see. In ‘My Kafka System’, which dovetails with these zoo studies, Zambreno thinks through the notebooks and animal stories of a writer known for playing at the threshold between species, continuing their investigation into the false divide between human and animal. In writing that is inquisitive and inventive, Zambreno renders visible the enclosures we construct and those we occupy ourselves.

Cate Kay is the most famous author on the planet. But it's just a name. Somehow, the woman behind the books has remained completely anonymous.
Anne Marie Callahan is the name nobody knows. Annie knows there's no one left to connect the dots between the novelist and the girl who ran away all those years ago.
If you asked, she'd say her name was Cass Ford. That's what her barista shouts each morning. And it's how she introduces herself to the woman she'll eventually call the love of her life.
Three names, three lives. Cate Kay is finally ready to tell you who she really is.
And when the truth is out, will everyone's favourite novelist hold on to her place in our hearts or are some betrayals impossible to forgive?
Cynics
'A love that cannot be throttled by the rubber tube of an enema bulb is immortal.'Bookish and idealistic Vladimir is tormented with love for Olga; he brings her flowers when other men bring her flour and millet. Olga eventually agrees to marry him, as her building’s central heating will be out of service all winter and at least with two in the bed they’ll be warmer. When she decides she’d like to serve the revolution, he introduces her to his brother Sergei, a Bolshevik who manages the waterways.Thus begins an excruciating love triangle, measured in ration coupons and black market goods. Described by the poet Joseph Brodsky as 'one of the most innovative novels in Russian literature', Marienhof’s Cynics is a pitch-black comedy set during the wild and savage years of War Communism and the New Economic Policy. Cinematic in its style and collagist in its aesthetic, it establishes Marienhof as a true formal radical.It is a bawdy, savage, lavishly emotional portrayal of working for the revolution (and trying to ignore it).
A Wish For Us - Ezt kívánom magunknak
Történet a zenéről, a gyógyulásról és a szerelem mindent legyőző erejéről.
A tizenkilenc éves Cromwell Dean az elektronikus tánczene
feltörekvő csillaga. Emberek ezrei rajonganak érte,
de senki sem ismeri igazán. Senki sem látja, mit rejt a szíve.
Egészen addig, amíg fel nem bukkan a lila ruhás lány.
Ő átlát a ú által emelt falakon, egészen a lelkében tátongó ürességig.
Amikor Cromwell maga mögött hagyja Anglia szürkeségét,
hogy a forró Dél-Karolinában zenét tanuljon, a legkevésbé sem számít arra,
hogy újra látja őt. És arra végképp nem, hogy folyton ez a lány
jár majd az eszében, akár egy végtelenül ismétlődő dallam.
Bonnie Farraday a zenéért él. Minden hangot beenged a szívébe, és nem érti,
hogyan lehet, hogy valaki, aki annyira tehetséges, mint Cromwell, képes
elzárni magát ettől. A ú a múltja elől menekül, ezt pedig Bonnie is tudja jól.
Próbálja távol tartani magát a útól, de valami újra és újra visszahúzza hozzá.
Bonnie-tól újra berobbannak a színek Cromwell sötét világába.
Cromwell az a zene, amitől Bonnie szíve kihagy egy ütemet.
De amikor árnyék vetül Bonnie életére, Cromwellnek kell fényt hoznia
úgy, ahogy csak ő képes rá. Segítenie kell megtalálni a lány törékeny szívében
elveszett dalt. A remény szimfóniájával. A szerelem szimfóniájával.
A közös szimfóniájukkal.

a fiatalon kötött házasságát egy szerencsejáték-függővel, a nagy sikereket
és veszteségeket. Felidézi a nők jogaiért vívott küzdelmeit, de őszintén
mesél második férje betegségéről és elvesztéséről is.
