TITLE
The Water Rat of Wanchai
An Ava Lee Novel
i n t r o du c i n g
Ian Hamilton
“Ian Hamilton achieves the impossible — he makes the global search for hidden money as thrilling as James
Bond fleeing down a snowy slope on one ski. Ava Lee is tough, fearless, quirky, and resourceful, and she has
more — well, you know — than half a dozen male detectives I can think of. Hamilton knows his stuff, and
he has created a true original in Ava Lee.” — Linwood Barclay, author of No Time for Goodbye

a young Chinese-Canadian forensic
accountant who works for an elderly Hong Kong–based
“Uncle,” who may or may not have ties to the Triads. At
5' 3" and 115 lbs., she hardly seems a threat. But her razorsharp intelligence and unorthodox rules of engagement
allow her to succeed where traditional methods have failed.
In The Water Rat of Wanchai Ava travels across continents to track $5 million owed by a seafood company.
But it’s in Guyana where she meets her match: Captain
Robbins, a huge hulk of a man and godfather-like figure
who controls the police, politicians, and criminals alike.
In exchange for his help, he decides he wants a piece of
Ava’s $5 million action and will do whatever it takes to get
his fair share . . .
In the first of what promises to be a massively successful series, Ian Hamilton introduces the reader to one
of crime fiction’s most unique and compelling heroines,
and uncovers the dark machinations of the global shadow
economy.
IAN HAMILTON has written for
Maclean’s, Boston Magazine, the Calgary
Herald, and Saturday Night. He has
worked as a journalist, diplomat, businessman, senior government official, and
as a consultant in the seafood industry.

When fourteen-year-old Gemma Kramer’s
broken body is found on the floor of St. Sebastian’s church
in a quiet London suburb, the official ruling is that she
jumped to her death from the organ gallery. But when a
witness claims to have seen Gemma kissing a much older
man outside shortly beforehand, and a toxicology report
reveals traces of a date-rape drug in the girl’s system, a
murder investigation is launched.
At the helm is Mark Tartaglia, a stubborn detective
known for following his hunches. It’s Tartaglia’s first time
in charge, and he walks right into a political minefield as
the murder squad turns up three more suspicious deaths
— all originally ruled suicides — involving vulnerable
young women falling from high places. Can Tartaglia
and his team connect the dots between victims in order
to find a serial killer with a chilling predilection for lonely
girls and deadly heights?

A NATIONAL POST PICK FOR BEST CRIME FICTION
On a snowy February morning, London art dealer
Rachel Tenison’s naked, frozen body is discovered in
Holland Park, bound and arranged in a strangely symbolic manner. DI Mark Tartaglia and Sam Donovan are
assigned the case. Still haunted by “The Bridegroom,”
a chillingly seductive serial killer with a penchant for
lonely girls and deadly heights, they’re forced to put the
past behind them as they try to uncover the identity
of Rachel’s murderer. But when a tip from a journalist
draws their attention to similarities between this murder and an unsolved crime committed the year before,
the mystery grows deeper than ever.

The Sisters Brothers
Patrick deWitt
“A masterful, hilarious picaresque that keeps company with the best of Charles
Portis and Mark Twain . . . a relentlessly absorbing feat of novelistic art.”
— Wells Tower
Hermann Kermit Warm
is going
to die: Eli and Charlie Sisters can be counted
on for that. Though Eli has never shared his
brother’s penchant for whiskey and killing,
he’s never known anything else. On the road
to Warm’s gold-mining claim outside San
Francisco — and from the back of his longsuffering one-eyed horse — Eli struggles to
make sense of his life without abandoning the
job he’s sworn to do.
DeWitt spins a violent, lustful, hung-over
and humorous odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier. Doffing his hat to
the classic Western, he then transforms it into
a comic tour-de-force with an unforgettable
narrative voice that captures all the absurdity,
melancholy, and grit of the West — and of
these two brothers, bound to each other by
blood and scars and love.
PATRICK de WITT was born
on Vancouver Island in 1975.
He is the author of the
critically acclaimed novel
Ablutions, which was named
a New York Times Editors’
Choice book. He lives in Portland, Oregon,
with his wife and son.

Up Up Up
Julie Booker
A radiant debut collection from Canada’s freshest new voice in fiction.
Up Up Up heralds the arrival of a writer of
astonishing range, compassion, and acuity. In
this taut collection of twenty short, sharp stories, Julie Booker grabs the reins from writers
like Lydia Millet and Miranda July and takes
off at full speed, and in directions all her own.
A pair of plus-sized friends make tracks for
a kayaking trip in Alaska. A woman vacations
with her parents at a Texas trailer park, wondering why she can’t meet a man. A worldly
member of a tour group selects sacrifices from
among the most cherished belongings of her
fellow travellers. A young man dreams of rescuing an abusive friend’s girlfriend — and of
having her for himself. Through these deceptively simple storylines, Booker reminds us of
the power of words to enlighten and move us
— but most of all, to delight us. Her writing is
a revelation — wildly whimsical and yet razorsharp, highly unusual and yet prompting gasps
of recognition on every page. Reader, prepare
to meet your new favourite writer.
JULIE BOOKER’s stories
have appeared in numerous literary magazines and
anthologies, including the
2010 edition of Best Canadian
Stories. She won the Writers’
Union of Canada’s Short Prose Competition
for Developing Writers in 2009. She is five feet
tall, has a toy poodle and twin baby boys, and
lives in Toronto.
EXCERPT
Elspeth had those blond, straight-across bangs
that only pointed out her lack of eyebrows and
lashes. As if they’d been singed off by a firecracker and been smart enough not to grow
back. Her eyes were mostly like mailbox slits
until she got an idea, and then she opened
them wide so you could see the rules starting.
One whole wall was a pile of shoe boxes.
Mostly with lids. Each week she’d hide something from her mom’s bedroom and we’d play
Battleship in the grid of boxes.
D across 5 down, a black penis we could
twist and bend with our fingers. G7, what I
thought was a dog-puppet head on a slingshot
but Elspeth said she saw her dad wear it down
there once. H4, pills for her mom’s head. E3 a
fish lure Elspeth called an IUD. B2, an Indian
sex position book.
One time I found a card on the floor that
said I know you’ve been frustrated. I’ll be ready
soon. You’re a saint for waiting. I’m sorry. xoxx
Brenda.
“Give me that,” Elspeth said, like I’d sunk
her battleship.

The O’Briens
Peter Behrens
The highly anticipated follow-up to Peter Behrens’ Governor General’s Literary Award–winning novel, The Law of Dreams.
The O’Briens follows the family from
The Law of Dreams two generations later: Joe
O’Brien is coming of age in a new century in
remote Pontiac County, Quebec, with his two
brothers and two sisters by his side. Their
father has abandoned the family and died in
the South African war; their frail mother has
remarried the abusive and lecherous Mick
Heaney. Joe and his siblings escape the poverty and violence of the Pontiac, but as Joe
travels the continent, building an empire and
a bright young family with his wife, Iseult, he
is never quite able to leave his past behind.
Told from the perspectives of Joe, Iseult,
and their children and spanning the construction of the Canadian railroad as well as both
world wars, this is a majestic novel that mirrors
the scope and sweep of what Wilfrid Laurier
calls “Canada’s Century.” Tragic, romantic,
and as vivid as the novel that preceded it, The
O’Briens is an epic of great heart, imagination,
and narrative force.
PETER BEHRENS is the
author of the Governor
General’s Literary Awardwinning novel The Law of
Dreams, published around
the world to wide acclaim,
and a collection of short stories, Night Driving.
His short stories and essays have appeared in
Atlantic Monthly, Tin House, Saturday Night, and
the National Post. He was born in Montreal and
lives on the coast of Maine with his wife and son.

Annabel
Kathleen Winter
A finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the GGs, the Rogers Writers’ Trust
Fiction Prize, and a #1 National Bestseller, Kathleen Winter’s spectacular
debut novel is now available in paperback.
In 1968,
into the beautiful, spare environment of
remote coastal Labrador, a mysterious child is born: a
baby who appears to be neither fully boy nor girl, but both
at once. Only three people are privy to the secret — the
baby’s parents, Jacinta and Treadway, and a trusted neighbour, Thomasina. Together the adults make a difficult
decision: to raise the child as a boy named Wayne. But as
Wayne grows to adulthood within the hyper-masculine
hunting culture of his father, his shadow-self — a girl he
thinks of as “Annabel”— is never entirely extinguished,
and indeed is secretly nurtured by the women in his life.
Haunting and sweeping in scope, Annabel is a compelling tale about one person’s struggle to discover the truth
in a culture that shuns contradiction.
KATHLEEN WINTER has written dramatic and documentary scripts for Sesame Street and CBC Television.
Her first collection of short stories, boYs (Biblioasis, 2007),
was the winner of both the Winterset Award and the 2006
Metcalf-Rooke Award. A long-time resident of St. John’s,
Newfoundland, she now lives in Montreal.

Pigeon English
Stephen Kelman
“Pigeon English is a triumph.” — Emma Donoghue
Newly arrived from
Ghana with
his mother and older sister, eleven-year-old
Harrison Opoku lives on the ninth floor of
a block of flats on a London housing estate.
The second best runner in his grade, Harri
races through his new life in his personalized
trainers — the Adidas stripes drawn on with
marker — blissfully unaware of the very real
threat all around him. With equal fascination
for the local gang — the Dell Farm Crew —
and the pigeon who visits his balcony, Harri
absorbs the many strange elements of his new
life in England: watching, listening, and learning the tricks of inner-city survival. But when
a boy is knifed to death on the high street and a
police appeal for witnesses draws only silence,
Harri decides to start a murder investigation of
his own. In doing so, he unwittingly endangers
the fragile web his mother has spun around her
family to try and keep them safe.
A story of innocence and experience, hope
and harsh reality, Pigeon English is a spellbinding portrayal of a boy balancing on the edge of
manhood and of the forces around him that try
to shape the way he falls.

stephen kelman in his own words,
on the inspiration for writing
pigeon english
STEPHEN KELMAN was
born in Luton, England, in
1976. He has held jobs as a
warehouse operative, a careworker, and in marketing and
local government administration. Pigeon English is his first novel; he is
currently working on his second. He lives in
Bedfordshire, England.
It was my response to the real-life case of
Damilola Taylor, a young boy from a similar
background to the character of Harrison who
was murdered at the hands of another child.
Though his death was ten years ago, it became
emblematic of the growing problem of childon-child violence, which is experienced in certain deprived areas of the U.K. I myself grew up
on a housing estate much like the one featured
in the book, and have experienced or witnessed
many of the social problems that affect the lives
of their residents, be they native or immigrant.
At the same time, I feel privileged to have
grown up in a multicultural environment, and
strongly believe that this kind of diversity can
only enrich us. I wanted to portray the positive
aspects of estate life — the book’s characters
are full of life, they’re vibrant and stubborn,
and although they’re aware of how narrow
their horizons are, they rush towards their fate
with fierce spirit and dark humour. There’s an
almost spiteful exuberance about them which
makes it impossible to think of them in terms
of heroes or villains — they’re just kids being
kids the best way they know how, despite society’s best efforts to impose a premature and
callous adulthood upon them.

The Emperor of Lies
Steve Sem-Sandberg
Winner of the prestigious August Prize, a finalist for the Nordic Council
Award, and an international sensation, The Emperor of Lies is a powerfully
moving story set in World War II Poland.
In February 1940,
the Nazis established what would become the second-largest
Jewish ghetto in the Polish city of Łódź. Its
chosen leader: Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski,
a sixty-three-year-old Jewish businessman
and orphanage director — and the elusive,
authoritarian power sustaining the ghetto’s
very existence.
From one of Sweden’s most critically ac-
claimed and bestselling authors, The Emperor
of Lies chronicles the tale of Rumkowski’s
monarchical rule over a quarter-million Jews
for the next four years. Driven by a titanic
ambition, he sought to transform the ghetto
into a productive industrial complex and strove
to make it — and himself — indispensable to
the Nazi regime. Drawing on the detailed
records of life in the Łódź ghetto, Steve SemSandberg asks the most difficult questions:
Was Rumkowski a ruthless opportunist, an
accessory to the Nazi regime driven by a lust
for power? Or was he a pragmatic strategist
who managed to save Jewish lives through his
collaboration policies?
The Emperor of Lies is a haunting, profoundly
challenging novel. It will be published in more
than twenty languages, promising to be an
international literary event.

“Perhaps the very first Holocaust account that
dares to step away from the black and white
perspective. In the hands of Sweden’s foremost
European storyteller, the truth is not always
what it seems.” — Daniel Sjölin, author of The
World’s Last Novel
“A genuine craftsmanship of words, a sharply
detailed documentarian prose transformed
into a poem that grows ever more profound.
And such works of art consume, displace, alter,

What Is Poetry?
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Art by Frederic Amat
Poetry is the Unknown Guest in the house.
Poetry is the Great Memory, every word a live metaphor.
Poetry the eye of the heart, the heart of the mind.
Words wait to be reborn in the shadow of the lamp of poetry.
Described as a “sublime distillation of an author’s
lifework,” What is Poetry? is a brilliant, soulful, and lifeaffirming collection of aphorisms in free verse by one
of our most important contemporary poets, Lawrence
Ferlinghetti. In this latest collection, Ferlinghetti (who
began writing the aphorisms in 1950 and has read them in
public on a number of occasions) shares brief observations
that capture the nature of poetic expression.
Anansi is thrilled to be releasing What is Poetry? in
a spectacular hardcover limited edition, featuring stunning full-colour artwork by acclaimed visual artist and
filmmaker Frederic Amat. This is a unique and timeless
collector’s edition that all lovers of poetry will want to
have on their shelves.
LAWRENCE FERLINGHETTI is an acclaimed poet,
activist, anarchist philosopher, and editor. He is one of
the founders of City Lights, the legendary bookstore and
publishing house. His most acclaimed work of poetry,
A Coney Island of the Mind, has sold more than 1 million
copies and has been translated into nine languages. He
lives in San Francisco, California.

The eagerly anticipated fourth collection from the poet acclaimed by TIME

Here is the exhilirating new collection from one of
Governor General’s Literary Award
our most important and talented poets, a finalist for the
2007 Griffin Poetry Prize and the 2006 Governor General’s Literary Award and winner of the Trillium Book
Award for Poetry.
Marooned in the shiftless, unnamed space between a
map of the world and a world of false maps, these poems
cling to what’s necessary from each, while attempting to
sing their own bewilderment. Carolinian forest echoes
back as construction cranes in an urban skyline. Second
Life returns as wildlife, as childhood. Even the poem
itself — the idea of a poem — as a unit of understanding is
shadowed by a great unknowing. Fearless in its language,
its trajectories and frames of reference, Methodist Hatchet
gazes upon the objects of its attention until they rattle and
exude their auras of strangeness. It is this strangeness,
this mysterious stillness, that is the big heart of Ken
Babstock’s playful, fierce, intelligent book.
finalist Sharon Thesen’s latest poetry collection, Oyama
Pink Shale, is a sly, self-directed, yet joyously emancipatory work. By animating and voicing various moments
and selves — indebted adult friend to artists, cold docu-
mentarian of a haunted sanitarium, engaged contemporary
ticking off beauties, among others — Thesen’s poems show
the transience of the earthly moment while convincing us
of the thread of spirit that links all our lost bits and makes
them possible. There’s an uncontainable buoyancy and
lift in the lines and quick-shifting frames as they swerve
toward the darker, more gravid complexities of contemporary life. Oyama Pink Shale exhibits a love for both the
quotidian and the oblique angle, and a singular talent for
the music of cumulative wonder. Writing at the peak of her
powers, Thesen gives us her best work yet.
KEN BABSTOCK is the author of three previous collections of poetry, including Airstream Land Yacht,
which was a finalist for the Griffin Poetry Prize and the
Governor General’s Literary Award, won the Trillium
Book Award, and was a Globe and Mail Top 100 book.

A Doctor Pedalled Her Bicycle
Over the River Arno
Matt Rader
The 2011 Griffin Poetry Prize
Anthology
A Selection of the Shortlist
Edited by Tim Lilburn
“Rader has quickly gone from being a poet to watch to one of the poets
to watch.” — Zachariah Wells, ARC
The highly anticipated annual anthology of the best Canadian and International poetry.
A Doctor Pedalled Her Bicycle Over
the River Arno carries within it all the technique,
vision, imaginative labour, and razor-sharp precision of
Matt Rader’s first two collections but ascends, also, to a
new and luminous, demanding, particularized realm of
the human.
Wildflowers and weeds, newspaper archives and illness, hostels and hostiles, parenting and the shadowy
history of grandparents, war and Renaissance paintings:
Matt Rader’s unassuming, deeply spirited, and expansive
poems show us again how contemporary lyric can go such
a long way toward revealing our true homes to us at the
moment we find ourselves most nakedly un-housed. Rader
seeks out limits, borders, and frontiers — those mapped
for us by authority, and the concomitant, interior shadowlines we ourselves draw — in order to test their validity.
If Borges had imagined an atlas of our layered identities,
it might look like these poems. This is an astounding collection from a thrilling voice in poetry.

The Wrecking Light
Robin Robertson
“The Wrecking Light is a work of extraordinary visionary power . . . If there
were justice in the world, it would win every prize going.” — Guardian
finalist, T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry
FINALIST, COSTA POETRY AWARD
FINALIST, FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION
Intense, moving, bleakly lyrical,
and at
times shocking, The Wrecking Light is written with the authority of classical myth, yet sounds utterly contemporary:
the poet’s gaze is unflinching and clear, its utter seriousness
leavened by a wry, dry, and disarming humour. Alongside
fine translations from Pablo Neruda and Eugenio Montale
and dynamic (and at times horrific) retellings of stories
from Ovid, these poems pitch the power and wonder of
nature against the frailty and failure of the human. Ghosts
sift through these poems, all of them haunted by the pressure and presence of the primitive world against our own,
and the kind of dreamlike intensity of description that has
become Robertson’s trademark.
The Wrecking Light is a work of considerable grandeur
and sweep, and confirms Robertson as one of the most
arresting and powerful poets at work today.

Born Liars
Why We Can’t Live Without Deceit
Ian Leslie
“A genuine achievement: a lively, engaging read that makes a bold argument about the role
of lying in our lives. The first truly honest appraisal of our human capacity for deception.”
— Steven Johnson, author of Everything Bad Is Good for You and The Ghost Map
Lying is an
intrinsic part of our social
fabric, but it is also a deeply problematic and
misunderstood aspect of what makes us human.
Ian Leslie takes us on a fascinating journey that
makes us question not only our own relationship to the truth, but also virtually every daily
encounter we have. On the way he dissects the
history of the lie detector, how parents affect
their children’s attitude to lying (and vice versa),
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, the philosophical ambiguity of telling the truth, Bill Clinton’s
presentational prowess, Wonder Woman’s lasso
of truth, and why we should be wary of anyone
with more than 150 Facebook friends.
Born Liars is thought-provoking, anecdotally driven narrative nonfiction at its best. Ian
Leslie’s intoxicating blend of anthropology,
biology, cultural history, philosophy, and popu-
lar psychology belies a serious central message:
that humans have evolved and thrived in large
part because of their ability to deceive.

EXCERPT
Mark Twain put it like this: “Everybody lies
— every day; every hour; awake; asleep; in his
dreams; in his joy; in his mourning.” We lie
when we say “I’m fine, thanks” when we’re feeling miserable. We lie when we say “cute baby”
whilst inwardly marvelling at its pug-face. Most
of us have simulated anger, sadness, affection,
and even said “I love you” when we don’t mean
it. Nearly all of us have faked enthusiasm for
somebody else’s cooking. Not only do we tacitly
accept that some lies are necessary, but sometimes we enthusiastically approve them.
I have never quite been able to reconcile the
hotness with which people condemn lying with
the regularity with which everyone practices
and approves of it. I wanted to find out why our
attitudes to lying are so mixed up. I soon discovered that everything I thought I knew about
lying was wrong: I imagined that the human
tendency to lie was a design flaw that would
29
one day be ironed out; I discovered that it has
driven the evolution of our species. I thought I
knew how to spot a liar; I was mistaken. I took
lying to be a sign of mental instability; I discovered that good liars tend to be better balanced people than the rest of us. I believed I
was always honest with myself; none of us are. I
learnt that self-deception often leads to success
at work, better health, and happier relationships
— and that when we are stripped of our lies, we
become depressed or even go mad.
We are born into deceit, and we never leave
it. The ability to knowingly deceive and detect
deception is uniquely human, and an essential
part of the make-up of an aware, self-reflective,
and well-adjusted person. It is, quite simply,
impossible to understand human relations, or
to understand yourself, without first understanding the dynamics of deceit.

The Little Book of Rob Ford
The Unknown Torontonian
From public transit to gay marriage to “riding the gravy train,” here is the
ultimate collection of Rob Ford quips, quotes, and colourful comments.
Watch out Sarah Palin

Love him or hate him, Rob Ford and his public (mis)statements are endlessly entertaining,
often antagonizing, and always outrageous.
For the first time ever, here are more than 100
of the best quips, quotes, jabs, and gaffes from
one of Canada’s most colourful and controversial politicians.
Rob Ford on AIDS Prevention
“If you are not doing needles and you are not gay,
you wouldn’t get AIDS probably . . . How are women getting it? Maybe they are sleeping with bisexual
men.”
Praise for Rob Ford
Excerpt
“He’s like Julian Fantino — what you see
is what you get . . . I say he’s going to be the
greatest mayor this city has ever seen . . . As far
as I’m concerned you can put that in your pipe
you left-wing kooks.” — Don Cherry
Rob Ford on Public Housing
“People do not want government housing built
in the city of Toronto. They want roads fixed,
more police presence, but they don’t want
more government housing that will depreciate
the value of their property.”
“Rob Ford is bananas.” — Eye Weekly
Rob Ford on the Homeless
“When I heard he had decided to run for mayor,
I wondered if he knew it was a full-time job.”
— Councillor Adam Vaughan
“This is an insult to my constituents to even
think about having a homeless shelter in their
ward. And you want me to have a public meeting to discuss this? Why don’t we have a public
lynching?”
“He is the Walmart of politicians.”
— Toronto Life
Rob Ford on Transportation
“I can’t support bike lanes. Roads are built for
buses, cars, and trucks. My heart bleeds when
someone gets killed, but it’s their own fault at
the end of the day.”
Rob Ford on “Oriental People”
“Those Oriental people work like dogs . . . They
sleep beside their machines. The Oriental people,
they’re slowly taking over . . . They’re hard, hard
workers.

Hitchens vs. Blair
The Munk Debates
Be it resolved that religion is a force of good in the world
Christopher Hitchens vs. Tony Blair
Two formidable minds. One powerfully charged debate.
On November 26, 2010, intellectual
juggernaut and staunch atheist Christopher
Hitchens went head-to-head with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, one of the
Western world’s most openly devout political
leaders, on the highly charged topic of religion.
Few world leaders have had a greater hand in
shaping current events than Blair; few writers
have been more outspoken and polarizing than
Hitchens.
In this edition of The Munk Debates —
Canada’s premier international debate series
— Hitchens and Blair square off on the contentious questions that continue to dog the
topic of religion in our globalized world: How
does faith influence our actions? What is the
role of people of faith in the public sphere? Is
religious doctrine rigid, or should we allow for
flexibility in our interpretations?
For the first time ever, this exclusive debate,
which played out to a sold-out audience, is now
available in print form, along with candid
interviews with Hitchens and Blair. Sharp, provocative, and thoroughly engrossing, Hitchens
vs. Blair is a rigorous and electrifying intellectual sparring match on the oldest question: Is
religion a force for good in the world?

CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS
is the international bestselling author of God is Not
Great: How Religion Poisons
Everything. He is a regular
contributor to Vanity Fair,
The Atlantic Monthly, and Slate
Excerpt
Tony Blair: It is undoubtedly true that people
commit horrific acts of evil in the name of religion. It is also undoubtedly true that people do
acts of extraordinary common good inspired by
religion. Almost half of healthcare in Africa is
delivered by faith-based organizations, saving
millions of lives. There are in Canada thousands
of religious organizations that care for the mentally ill or disabled or disadvantaged or destitute.
So the proposition that religion is unadulterated
poison is unsustainable. It can be destructive. It
can also create a deep well of compassion and
frequently does. People are inspired to do such
good by what I would say is the true essence of
faith, which is, along with doctrine and ritual
particular to each faith, a basic belief common
to all faiths in serving and loving God through
serving and loving your fellow human beings.
TONY BLAIR was prime minister of the United Kingdom
from 1997 to 2007. In 2008 he
launched the Tony Blair Faith
Foundation, which promotes
respect and understanding
among the major religions.
Christopher Hitchens: I knew it would come
up, that we’d be told about charity. And I take this
very seriously because we’re the first generation
of people who know what the cure for poverty
really is. The cure for poverty has a name, in fact.
It’s called the empowerment of women. Name
me one religion that stands for that or ever has.
Wherever you look in the world and you try to
remove the shackles of ignorance and disease and
stupidity from women it is invariably the clerisy
that stands in the way. I’d like to hear a word of
apology from the religious about that, if it was on
offer.

Five disparate people are trapped inside: Karen, a single

run; Rachel, a cool Hitchcock blonde incapable of true
human contact; and finally a mysterious voice known as

In the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and J. G. Ballard,
Coupland explores the modern crises of time, human
identity, society, religion, and the afterlife. The book asks
as many questions as it answers, and readers will leave

Andes
“Wonderfully dark, relentlessly slippery . . . I read this entire memoir with

A fascinating journey southwards along the world’s longest mountain range,
exploring the diverse geography and cultures of the mountains themselves,
and the compelling stories of Andean travellers past and present.

Stretching for over 5,500 miles, and contain-
WINNER, WRITERS’ GUILD OF GREAT BRITAIN AWARD: NONFICTION
ing the highest active volcanoes in the world, the largest salt flat, the highest lake, and peaks rivalled in size
only by the Himalayas, the Andes impress by statistics
alone. But beyond the range’s sheer immensity is its concentration of radically contrasting scenery and climates.
In this remarkable book, travel writer Michael Jacobs
journeys across seven different countries, from the balmy
Caribbean to the inhospitable islands of the Tierra del
Fuego, through the relics of ancient civilizations, to retrace the footsteps of previous travellers. His route begins
in Venezuela, following the path of the great nineteenthcentury revolutionary Simón Bolívar. On his way Jacobs
attempts to uncover the stories of those who have shared
his fascination, and to reveal the secrets of a region steeped
in history, science, and myth.
In his first
venture into nonfiction, the celebrated
novelist Rupert Thomson has produced one of the most
extraordinary and unforgettable memoirs of recent years.
On a warm, sunny day in July 1964, Thomson returned
home from school to discover that his mother had died
suddenly while playing tennis. Twenty years later, Thomson and his brothers receive word that their father, who
suffered chronic lung damage during the war, has died
alone in hospital. In an attempt to come to terms both with
their own loss and with their parents’ legacies, the three
brothers move back into their father’s house. The time
they spend in this decadent, anarchic commune leads to a
rift between Thomson and his youngest brother, a rift that
will not be addressed for more than two decades.
This Party’s Got to Stop works Thomson’s memories
into a powerful mosaic that reveals the fragility of family
life in graphic and often heartbreaking detail. It is both
a love letter to a lost brother and a chronicle of the murderousness and longing that can characterize blood relationships.

When I Lived in Modern Times
Linda Grant
A stunning debut novel in the tradition of Absolute Beginners, The Buddha of
Suburbia, and The Line of Beauty.
A stylish reissue of the Orange Prize–winning novel.
1970: Fourteen-year-old Tony
becomes
seduced by the skinhead movement, sucked into a world
of brutal racist violence, and bizarre ritual. It’s a milieu
in which he must hide his homosexuality, in which every
encounter is explosively risky. 2003: James is a young TV
researcher, living with his boyfriend. At a loose end, he
begins to research the far right in Britain and its secret
gay membership. He becomes particularly fascinated by
Nicky Crane, the leader of the movement who came out
as gay before dying of AIDS in 1993.
The two narrative threads of this extraordinarily
assured and ambitious first novel follow Tony through
the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, as the skinhead movement splinters and weakens, and James through a year in which he
becomes dangerously immersed in his research, making
contact with individuals on far-right websites and receiving threatening phone calls. And then the lives of these
two very different heroes unforgettably intersect.
Children of the Sun is a work of great imaginative sympathy and range — a novel of unblinking honesty but also
of deep feeling, which illuminates the surprisingly thin
line that separates aggression from tenderness and offers
us a picture of a Britain that is strange and yet utterly
convincing.
It is April 1946. Evelyn Sert, twenty years old, a hairdresser from Soho,
sails for Palestine, where Jewish refugees and idealists are gathering
from across Europe to start a new life in a brand new country. In the
glittering, cosmopolitan, Bauhaus city of Tel Aviv, anything seems possible — the new self, new Jew, new woman are all feasible. Evelyn, adept
at disguises, reinvents herself as the bleached-blonde Priscilla Jones.
Immersed in a world of passionate idealism, she finds love, and with
Johnny, her lover, finds herself at the heart of a very dangerous game.

Remind Me Who I Am, Again
Linda Grant
“A skillful, moving, even humorous book.”
— Scotland on Sunday
At the beginning of the 1990s, Linda Grant’s mother, Rose, was diagnosed with dementia. In Remind Me Who I Am, Again Linda Grant
tells the story of Rose’s illness and tries to reconstruct the history of
their Jewish immigrant family, stalking them from Russia and Poland
to New York and London. Writing with humour and great tenderness, Grant explores profound questions about memory, autonomy,
and identity, and asks if we can ever really know our parents.

Bride Flight
Madame Verona Comes Down
the Hill
Marieke van der Pol
Dimitri Verhulst
Taking off in London in 1953 and touching down in New Zealand some fifty
years later, Bride Flight is a compelling debut.
A tender, precise, and pitch-perfect novel about a widow of legendary beauty
and a love that endures beyond death.
In 1953, the last great transcontinental air race from
LONGLIST, IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD
London to Christchurch is about to begin, but even before
the KLM plane has left the runway, it has already become
famous as the “bride flight” for its cargo of brides-to-be
flying out to join their fiancés on the other side of the
world. Among them are Ada, Marjorie, and Esther, who
all have their own reasons for wanting to leave the past
behind and make a fresh start. And then there’s Frank,
a charismatic bachelor with big dreams for the future,
whose path will continue to cross with each of the women
as they build very different lives for themselves in New
Zealand. It is only when they meet again, years later at
Frank’s funeral, that the three women realize just how
tightly their lives have been bound together by what happened on that fateful voyage.
MARIEKE VAN DER POL is the author of the prizewinning script for the international hit film The Twin
Girls. This, her debut novel, has also been made into a
film in the Netherlands.

Years ago, Madame Verona and her husband built a
home for themselves on a hill in a forest above a small village. There they lived in isolation, practicing their music
and chopping wood to see them through the cold winters.
When Mr. Verona died, the locals might have expected
that the legendary beauty would return to the village, but
Madame Verona had enough wood to keep her warm during the years it would take to make a cello — the instrument her husband loved — and in the meantime she had
her dogs for company.
One cold February morning, when the last log has
burned, Madame Verona sets off down the village path,
with her cello and her memories, knowing that she will
have no strength to climb the hill again. Poignant, precise, and perfectly structured, this is a story of one woman’s tender and enduring love — as a wife and as a widow.

Filthy English
The How, Why, When and What of Everyday Swearing
Peter Silverton
A frank, funny, and provocative journey through the international culture of
swearing, from the shocked seventies to the naughty noughties.
GRANTA MAGAZINE
Edited by John Freeman
The world’s most prestigious English-language magazine of new writing.
When the Sex Pistols
swore live on television in 1976, there was outrage across Britain. Headlines screamed. Christians marched. TVs were kicked in.
Thirty years on, all those words are media-mainstream
— bandied about with impunity on TV and in the papers.
This is the story of our bad language and its three-decade
journey from the fringes of decency to the working centre of a more linguistically liberal nation.
Silverton takes a clear, comprehensive, and witty
look at swearing and the impact of its new acceptability
on our language, our manners, and our society. He considers how we have become more openly emotional, yet
more wary about insulting others. And how it’s seemingly
become all right to say **** and **** but not ****** or ****.
This is the story of that cultural revolution, written by
one who was there at the start, proudly striking some of
the first blows in the long struggle for the right to reclaim
filthy English and use it.

years. He started as features editor at Sounds in 1976, covered Punk, went on the Anarchy Tour bus with the Pistols
and Clash and later wrote Glen Matlock’s autobiography
(I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol). He’s also worked as an editor at Time Out, the Mail on Sunday, the Sunday Express,

magazine and newspaper in the land.
Granta 114, February 2011: Aliens
This new issue of Granta features tales from the shifting terrain of alien culture, and those at odds with and
yet fully inside of another culture. Mark Gevisser writes
of two closeted gay South African men whose friendship
has lasted five decades. Dinaw Mengestu writes of a war
being waged in Sierra Leone by exiles. Robert MacFarlane meets Palestinian families who can no longer return
to their own homes. Nami Mun conjures a couple who
feel like strangers in the wake of a terrible betrayal.
This issue of Granta will draw into focus one of the
most pressing issues of our time: Who do we call outsiders?
Granta 115, May 2011: The Dirty Word
This bold, political issue of Granta will explore the power
dynamic between women and men from a wide variety
of literary genres and perspectives. In “You Speak to
Save Your Life,” A. L. Kennedy investigates the surprising ways in which the human voice can be trapped and
unlocked. Sara Wheeler retraces the travels of Fanny
Trollope, who uprooted to Ohio from England at the age
of forty-eight and began an improbable second life. Julie
Otsuka contributes a powerful piece of fiction about mailorder brides from Japan arriving in the U.S. and with
“The Sex Lives of African Girls,” the issue will introduce
Taiye Selasi, who spins a haunting story about the way
adult sexuality can be imposed upon the young.
The Dirty Word addresses a complex theme many readers know has never lost its urgency.

High Riders, Saints and Death Cars
A Life Saved by Art
My Tattooed Dad
Written by Daniel Nesquens
Illustrated by Magicomora
Nicholas HerrEra
How art saved a very troubled young Hispanic man — now a great role model.
A beautifully illustrated chapter book for boys, whether their dads are tattooed or not!
Nicholas Herrera started
life as a mischievous, dyslexic boy, born into one of the old Spanish
families of New Mexico. Bad teachers and poor schooling
helped him to lose himself in drugs, drinking, riding motorcycles, and driving fast cars. A near-death experience,
a wonderful mother, and a fascination with making art
saved him.
Today Nicholas Herrera is one of the most noted
Santeros — artists who create images of saints and other
religious figures — in the U.S. He is noted for the highly
personal, political nature of his work. A survivor of alcoholism and drug addiction, which almost led to his death
in a terrible car crash, Herrera is now sober and remarkably productive.
Nicholas’s story will speak directly to young people,
especially those who might feel that life has nothing to
offer them due to their economic circumstances or their
class or ethnic backgrounds.

A young boy describes what life is like when his dad
comes home — how he fries up chicken samosas for dinner, how he makes jokes and fools around, and how he
carries him off to bed when he is sleepy. His dad also tells
wonderful stories of his adventures in far-off lands, often
inspired by his many exotic tattoos. His letters to his son
are full of great stories about the past — what the first
date with the boy’s mother was like and how he saved the
boy’s life twice. But as his mother says, his dad has ants
in his pants, which means he’s often not around. Still, life
rolls along with one fantastical tale after another, in good
times and bad. This extraordinary father’s gift to his child
is the life of the imagination, which is always with his son,
even when he is not.
DANIEL NESQUENS is a prolific, award-winning
author who has written books for children and young
adults. Several of his books have been listed in the White
Ravens Catalogue and have been recognized by Venezuela’s Banco del libro in “Los mejores libros para niños y
jóvenes” (the best books for children and youth). He lives
in Zaragoza, Spain.

A daisy is a daisy is a daisy
(except when it’s a girl’s name)
Linda Wolfsgruber
Flower names are often girls’ names in all languages. This exquisite book
will be loved by gardeners, prospective parents, and teachers, who can use
the names when talking about different cultures.
Many girls are named after flowers (or even forms
of the word “flower,” such as Flora), which inspired Linda
Wolfsgruber to create this utterly charming book. Girls’
names in different languages accompany her imaginative
illustrations, so that the reader discovers, for example, that
Gul means rose in Turkish, but that it is Rosa in Spanish
and Raisa in Hebrew. Other flowers named in the book
include buttercup, sunflower, lily of the valley, daisy, bluebell, snowdrop, hyacinth, camomile, violet, tulip, poppy,
and lily.
This is a beautiful and intriguing gift book for anyone
interested in girls’ names, flowers, and the fine art of book
illustration. It can also be used in the classroom to talk
about multiculturalism, language, and botany.
