The Earlie King and the Kid in Yellow
Ireland is flooded, derelict. It never stops raining. The Kid in Yellow has stolen the babba from the Earlie King.
Why? Something to do with the King's daughter, and a talking statue, something godawful. And from every wall the King's Eye watches. And yet the city is full of hearts-defiant-sprayed in yellow, the mark of the Kid.
It cannot end well. Can it? Follow the Kid, hear the tale. Roll up! Roll up!

Az első lecke az, hogy erősödj meg.
Miután kiderült a döbbenetes tény, hogy Oak Tündérfölde örököse, Jude-nak meg kell védenie az öccsét. Ennek érdekében magához láncolta a gonosz királyt, Cardant, akit a háttérből irányít. Tündérfölde folyton átrendeződő, intrikákkal teli politikai szövetségei között még akkor is nehéz lenne lavíroznia, ha Cardan mindenben engedelmeskedne neki. Csakhogy a király mindent megtesz, hogy megszégyenítse Jude-ot, és aláássa a hatalmát, hiába nyűgözi le továbbra is a lány.
És ha még mindez nem volna elég, egyértelművé válik, hogy egy Jude-hoz közeli személy el akarja őt árulni, és ezáltal veszélybe sodorná nemcsak a saját, hanem az összes szerette életét. Jude kénytelen az áruló után nyomozni, hogy halandóként magánál tarthassa a hatalmat a tündérvilágban.
És miközben a Cardan iránt érzett bonyolult érzelmeivel is viaskodik.

Teória King Kong
Silná, provokatívna a osobná kniha je úprimnou výpoveďou o tom, ako sa autorka kultovej trilógie Život Vernona Subutexa stala Virginie Despentes. Čerpá z osobných skúseností, rúca zaužívané predstavy o znásilnení a prostitúcii a búra zaužívané postoje o sexe a pohlaví.
Autobiografický feministický manifest spisovateľky a filmárky Virginie Despentes je „plný hnevu a tak presne formulovaný, že je nespravodlivé ho zhrnúť". – Nadja Spielgelman
„Despentes je často označovaná za ‚rockandrollového‘ Balzaca. . . Striedavo pripomína aj Williama Gibsona, George Eliot a Michela Houellebecqa, len s optimistickejším postojom." Chris Kraus
„Virginie Despentes je skutočne originálna punkrocková George Eliot s citom pre žalostné vnútro svojich postáv: nikto iný nemá jej prenikavý pohľad, ostrý zmysel pre humor, inteligenciu, ktorá ako žiletka reže do nánosu zaužívaných vzorcov myslenia našej doby.“ Alexandra Kleeman
„Despentes sa stala akousi kultovou hrdinkou, patrónkou neviditeľných žien: ohavných a marginalizovaných, vyčerpaných, unavených a prudko nezamestnateľných." Parul Sehgal
„Prequel k #MeToo. Jedinečný radikálny hlas queer feministiek, ktorý bol kľúčový pre transformáciu beletristického písania aj politického diania v roku 2010.“ Paul B. Preciado
Teória King Kong, autobiografia, výzva k revolte, manifest nového punkového feminizmu, je autorkiným najobľúbenejším a najzavrhovanejším dielom.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"

"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
