Duckworth Overlook New Titles - Jul-Dec 2014 by Duckworth

Friends of Duckworth, In this catalogue we look to the end of the year following what was surely the year of the zombie, with the film adaptation of Max Brooks’s bestselling WORLD WAR Z bolstering a record year for Duckworth. It is with pride that we showcase the latter half of 2014, rounding off a year that will build on this growth, with highlights that deserve to be perennial – if not undead. One such figure who refuses to leave the land of the living, despite being dead, is Elvis Presley. Elvis’s seismic demise is the subject of GQ editor Dylan Jones’s ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING, a remarkable look at the impact of The King’s death on the rise of punk, and how his legacy still resonates in music the world over today. A very much alive staple of Duckworth’s publishing is that of humour. Following one of 2013’s standouts, ENCYCLOPEDIA PARANOIACA (A Sunday Times top 10 humour book, whose paperback we see here), we look forward to Bess Lovejoy’s REST IN PIECES. What’s it about? The subtitle says it all: ‘The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses.’ And with less morbid fascination, but equally boundless appeal, we announce the latest book from one of the leading – and most mysterious – lights of contemporary comedy, The Queen [of Twitter @Queen_UK]’s STILL REIGNING: Her Majesty of the media’s most comprehensive collection of ruminations on the world today. The world today does not go without scrutiny under a different lens either, as Dayo Olopade’s THE BRIGHT CONTINENT reveals the optimistic reality of Africa that is quelled and distorted by the news. If that does not serve a healthy enough dose of scepticism to wash down society’s received wisdom, STANDARD DEVIATIONS by Gary Smith takes to task the conclusions of ‘Big Data’ and the statistics of everyday reportage to lift the veil of ‘truth’ that self-interested parties would have us believe. Stepping back from modernity, we look to a touchstone of Duckworth’s heritage in the utterly unique tale of Betty May’s life, TIGER WOMAN. First published by Duckworth in 1929, this autobiography of the original party girl’s outrageous life must be read to be believed, and is the basis for a new musical, Tiger Woman Versus The Beast (‘The Beast’ being Aleister Crowley). Another (larger than) life story we are privileged to tell is that of a true hero of the ages, Peter Tunstall. He died last year at the age of ninety-five but, in his time, sat – incarcerated in Colditz – amongst the company of Douglas Bader, Airey Neave and others. Never before has his story, from his RAF training through numerous daring escape attempts, been told, or the POW experience been presented with such panache and humanity, as it is in his THE LAST ESCAPER. And somewhat leading on on from World War II, is John Launer’s biography of Sabina Spielrein, SEX VERSUS SURVIVAL. Quite unfairly best known as Carl Jung’s lover, Spielrein has more recently been given the attention she deserves as a pioneer in sexual psychology – a trailblazing career cut short by her death in the Holocaust. It seems fitting that, straying far from the grave, we celebrate the continued vitality of this business of books – with a future that looks ever more exuberant and exciting. We thank you all for your continued support as we end the year on a resoundingly strong note. Peter Mayer

ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING DYLAN JONES THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF HOW THE ROCK STAR WHO CHANGED EVERYTHING LIVES ON Praise for Dylan Jones ISBN: 9780715648568 PRICE: £16.99 PUBLICATION: July 2014 CATEGORY: Biography/Music History EXTENT: 336pp FORMAT: Demy Hardback EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE/CW NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN BIC: BGF, HBTB

‘As a writer, he has an effortless style with an unerring instinct for the absurd and the noteworthy’ Independent

‘Jones is a wonderfully fluent writer, with a terrific knack for atmospheric phrasemaking, period detail and juicy factoids’ Daily Telegraph

‘Dylan Jones certainly knows his stuff and writes with a lively style’ Observer

‘The King’ departed this world during the month of punk rock’s apotheosis. Punk had set out to destroy Elvis, or at least everything he came to represent, but never got the chance. Elvis destroyed himself before anyone else could. Nearly forty years after his death, rock’s ultimate legend and prototype just won’t go away and his influence and legacy are to be found not just in music today, but the world over. Elvis Presley has permeated the modern world in ways that are bizarre and inexplicable: a pop icon while he was alive, he has become almost a religious icon in death, a modern-day martyr crucified on the wheel of drugs, celebrity culture, junk food and sex. In Elvis Has Left the Building, Dylan Jones takes us back to those heady days around the time of his death and the rise of punk. He evokes the hysteria and devotion of The King’s numerous disciples and imitators, offering a uniquely insightful commentary on Elvis’s life, times and outrageous demise. This is a fresh account, written with the author’s customary panache, recounting how Elvis single-handedly changed the course of popular music and culture, and what his death meant and still means to us today. Dylan Jones is the Editor of GQ. He studied at Chelsea School of Art and St. Martin’s School of Art in London before becoming the Editor of i-D magazine. He has since been an editor at the Face, Arena, Observer and The Sunday Times. Jones has won the BSME Editor of the Year award seven times, once for his work on Arena, and six times for GQ, and was awarded an OBE in 2013. He has written studies of David Bowie and Jim Morrison, in addition to two anthologies of journalism and more on music, popular culture and even our Prime Minister.

‘Black Fridays has it all: superb writing, a riveting plot, and a hero I’m still thinking about days afterward. A must read!’ Tess Gerritsen The follow-up to the Edgar-nominated and Shamus-winning Black Fridays, Mortal Bonds marks the return of financial investigator Jason Stafford as he takes on his latest – and most dangerous – case, in a tale of fraud and the hunt for salvation as gripping and fresh as the last. William von Becker ran one of the largest privately held investment banks in North America, until the bottom fell out, and the world saw the entire operation revealed as a scam. After von Becker dies in prison, Jason Stafford is hired by his family. There’s still a lot of missing money out there, he’s told, and they want Stafford to find it before the Feds – and certain other parties, some of whom are nowhere near as scrupulous in their methods. Bad things start happening to the people Stafford talks to. Soon bad things are happening to him as well. To make matters worse, Stafford’s treacherous ex-wife has returned, ostensibly to visit their young son. Stafford suspects there’s more to it than that, but even he has no idea how much the visit is about to change all their lives.

TIGER WOMAN My Story

Betty May The fearless tale of the original ‘Party Girl’, in her own (frankly scurrilous) words The incredible life story that inspired the forthcoming new musical, Tiger Woman Versus The Beast Dancer, singer, gang member, cocaine addict and sometime confectionist, Betty May’s autobiography Tiger Woman thrilled and appalled the public when her story first appeared at the end of the roaring twenties. ‘I have often lived only for pleasure and excitement but you will see that I came to it by unexpected ways’ Born into abject squalor in London’s Limehouse area, May used her steely-eyed, striking looks and street nous to become an unlikely bohemian celebrity sensation, a fixture at the Café Royal, London, marrying four times along the way alongside numerous affairs. ‘I wondered why men would not leave me alone. They were alright at first when they offered to show one life, and then at once they became a nuisance’ She elbowed her way to the top of London’s social scene in a series of outrageous and dramatic fights, flights, marriages and misadventures that also took her to France, Italy, Canada and the USA. ‘I learnt one thing on my honeymoon – to take drugs’ Her most fateful adversary was occultist and selfproclaimed ‘Great Beast’ Aleister Crowley, who intended her to be a sacrificial victim of his Thelemite cult in Sicily, but it was her husband – Oxford undergraduate Raoul Loveday – who died, after conducting a blood sacrifice ritual. Betty May’s vitality and ferocious charisma enchanted numerous artistic figures including Jacob Epstein and Jacob Kramer. A heroine like no other, this is her incredible story in her own words, as fresh and extraordinary as the day it was first told. Betty May died in obscurity in the 1950s, and her outrageous life will be the subject of a forthcoming musical entitled Tiger Woman Versus The Beast. This remarkable account of her life was first published by Duckworth in 1929.

FROM EXILE TO WASHINGTON

A Memoir of Leadership in the Twentieth Century

W. Michael Blumenthal In his own words, the flight from Nazi Germany that forged an icon of American business and politics ‘Both an engrossing personal narrative and a thoughtful reflection on leadership’

ISBN: 9780715649152 PRICE: £20.00 PUBLICATION: July 2014 CATEGORY: Memoir, Politics EXTENT: 448pp ILLUSTRATIONS: 26 b/w FORMAT: Royal Hardback EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN/ANZ BIC: BM, JPHL

Henry Kissinger In a life that has spanned nearly nine decades and has taken him across the world and back, W. Michael Blumenthal has borne witness to the world’s convulsions and transformations during the twentieth century. From fraught and humble beginnings, he would emerge as a major leader in American business and politics. In the second half of the century, Blumenthal headed two major corporations, was a US trade ambassador and served under Jimmy Carter as the Secretary of the Treasury. He then began an entirely new chapter in his career, when he conceived and became director of Europe’s largest Jewish museum – the Jewish Museum of Berlin – a position he still holds today. W. Michael Blumenthal was the United States Secretary of the Treasury. Born in Germany in 1926, he moved to the United States from Shanghai in 1947. He is currently the director of the Jewish Museum of Berlin, and is the author of The Invisible Wall: Germans and Jews. He splits his time between Princeton, New York and Berlin.

WASHINGTON JOURNAL The Watergate Scandal, 1973–1974

Elizabeth Drew The heralded classic of American political journalism, back in print for the 40th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation ‘Unquestionably the best book yet on Watergate, and conceivably the best we will ever get’ Rolling Stone

ISBN: 9780715649169 PRICE: £20.00 PUBLICATION: Aug 2014 CATEGORY: History/Politics EXTENT: 416pp FORMAT: Royal Hardback EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE/CW NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN BIC: DNJ

Unfolding over the course of a single year, from September 1973 to August 1974, Washington Journal is the record of the near-dissolution of a nation’s political conscience – told from within. Cool and understated – and all the more devastating for its understatement – Washington Journal was immediately hailed upon its publication as a landmark work of journalism. With a new afterword that brings this all too relevant book squarely into the present and reflects on what has changed – and what hasn’t – in the last forty years, Washington Journal is available again, at long last, ready for its place in the pantheon of great political writing. Elizabeth Drew is a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books and the former Washington correspondent of the New Yorker and the Atlantic. She is the author of fourteen books, including The Corruption of American Politics.

Her Majesty of the media presents a new collection of her most forthright musings Sixty years on the throne. It’s been a challenge, one doesn’t mind telling you. But despite it all, one’s still here. Still keeping the ship afloat, still in charge, still iconic, still keeping the gin industry in business, still ruling the world. Still reigning. God Save One.

On Politics & State Occasions

‘Winston Churchill used to write the best speeches, of course. In those days, before TV cameras in the house, one could have a bit of fun and read them out in assorted accents. One’s Gandhi impression had the Lords in tears of laughter once. Those were the days.’

On Modern Times

‘Arrived on the dot and went up to the Robing Room to get one’s swag on. The DoE had brought along a party hat, which he though would make a change from the usual crown thing, but we decided on balance it might be a progressive step too far and that we’d stick with the traditional.’

On America

‘One thinks of them as a mother thinks of a teenage boy: with a mixture of pride and exasperation. Although there is no denying that the American division of the British Armed Forces has been awfully useful over time, even if they do have a habit of turning up late for wars and then taking the credit.’

THE BRIGHT CONTINENT

Breaking Rules and Making Change in Modern Africa

Dayo Olopade An exciting new voice offers a fresh portrait of Africans thriving in the face of adversity, showing the way forward for development on the continent and beyond ‘The Bright Continent will change your view of Africa. It’s that simple … A lively and enjoyable read’ Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO of the New America Foundation

‘A book that bracingly lives up to its title … An Africa we are all too unaccustomed to seeing comes vividly to life thanks to Olopade’s restless eye and keen curiosity’ Howard French, author of A Continent for the Taking

‘A long overdue and much needed corrective to the dominant perception of Africa’ Dinaw Mengestu, author of The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears and All Our Names For years Dayo Olopade struggled to reconcile the media’s image of Africa as warring, impoverished and pitiful with the Africa she’s known since childhood: resilient, joyful and innovative, a continent of impassioned community leaders. She reports first-hand on the explosion of commercial opportunities and technological innovations that are improving outcomes for families, children and the environment. The Bright Continent joins the conversation started by authors such as Jeffrey Sachs, Nicholas Kristof and Dambisa Moyo. Olopade rejects stale and ineffectual foreign interventions, arguing that the increasingly globalised challenges the continent faces can and must be addressed with the tools Africans are already using to solve these problems themselves. In many ways, Africa’s model of doing more with less – of working around dysfunctional institutions to establish strong informal networks – can be a powerful model for the rest of the world. Behind the dire headlines, Olopade discovers many convincing rays of hope. Dayo Olopade is a Nigerian-American journalist covering global politics and development policy. She has reported for The New York Times, Daily Beast, Root, New Republic and many other publications. Dayo is currently a Knight Law and Media Scholar at Yale University.

THE LAST ESCAPER Peter Tunstall

The untold first-hand story of the legendary bomber pilot, ‘cooler king’ and arch escape artist ‘When I began my operational career, I had precisely two hours and ten minutes’ worth of experience as a pilot in command of a bomber at night’ The product of a lifetime’s reflection, The Last Escaper is Peter Tunstall’s unforgettable memoir of his days in the RAF and as one of the most celebrated of all British POWs. Tunstall was an infamous tormentor of his German captors dubbed the ‘cooler king’ (on account of his long spells in ‘solitary’), but also a highly skilled pilot, loyal friend and trusted colleague. ‘Single-mindedness is often the key to success in most things and, if what I am told is true – that I was to chalk up the all-comers British record number of escape attempts during the next twelve months – I attribute this entirely to that state of mind’ Without false pride or bitterness, Tunstall recounts the high jinks of training to be a pilot, terrifying bombing raids in his Hampden and of elaborate escape attempts at once hilarious and deadly serious – all part of a poignant and human war story superbly told by a natural raconteur. ‘…we had established that one could get away with using German uniform. After that, it became a regular stunt and my own speciality’ The Last Escaper is a charming and hugely informative last testament written by ‘the last man standing’ from the Colditz generation who risked their lives in the Second World War. It will take its place as one of the classic first-hand accounts of that momentous conflict. Peter Tunstall joined the RAF in 1937 and flew numerous combat missions before his capture off the Dutch coast. After spells in several German POW camps including Spangenberg Castle, and many audacious and imaginative escape attempts, he arrived in Colditz where he was imprisoned alongside other celebrated POW legends including Douglas Bader, Pat Reid and Airey Neave. In 1945 he returned to Britain, subsequently working as an actor and in civil aviation. He has only just died aged 95. This is the first and only book in which his unique and compelling story is told.

‘David Esterly’s memoir is a beautiful, intricate mediation on creativity and discovery, on fire and rebirth, on culture and history. Truly, this is a story to be pored over with love and admiration’ Elizabeth Gilbert

‘One of those gentle quest memoirs in which the reader becomes an intimate … Esterly writes evocatively … full of fine-grained and engaging detail’ Mail on Sunday Awestruck by the sight of a Grinling Gibbons carving in a London church, David Esterly chose to dedicate his life to the art – its physical control, intricate beauty and intellectual demands. Forty years later, he is the foremost practitioner of Gibbons’s forgotten technique, which revolutionised ornamental sculpture in the late 1600s. After a fire at Hampton Court Palace in 1986 destroyed much of Gibbons’s masterpiece, the job fell to Esterly to restore his idol’s work to its former glory. It turned out to be the most challenging year in Esterly’s life, forcing him to question his abilities and delve deeply into what it means to make something well. Exploring the determination, concentration and skill that go into achieving any form of excellence, Esterly breathes life into the world of wood carving and deftly illustrates the union of man and material necessary to create a lasting work of art. David Esterly is the author of Grinling Gibbons and the Art of Carving and curated the Victoria and Albert Museum exhibition on Gibbons in 1998. He has been a professional wood carver since the 1970s, and has been profiled in the Financial Times, New Yorker and The New York Times.

STANDARD DEVIATIONS

Flawed Assumptions, Tortured Data and Other Ways to Lie with Statistics

Gary Smith The mathematical certainty of Nate Silver meets the insights of Daniel Kahneman in this lively deconstruction of lies, damned lies, and statistics Did you know that having a messy room will make you racist? Or that human beings possess the ability to postpone death until after important ceremonial occasions? Or that people live three to five years longer if they have positive initials, like ACE? All of these ‘facts’ have been argued with a straight face by researchers and backed up with reams of data and convincing statistics. As Nobel Prize-winning economist Ronald Coase once cynically observed, ‘If you torture data long enough, it will confess.’ Lying with statistics is a time-honoured con. In Standard Deviations, economics professor Gary Smith walks us through the various tricks and traps that people use to back up their own crackpot theories. Sometimes, the unscrupulous deliberately try to mislead us. Other times, the well-intentioned are blissfully unaware of the mischief they are committing. Today, data are so plentiful that researchers spend precious little time distinguishing between good, meaningful deductions and total rubbish. Not only do others use data to fool us, we fool ourselves. Drawing on breakthrough research in behavioural economics by luminaries like Daniel Kahneman and Dan Ariely, and taking to task some of the conclusions of Freakonomics author Steven D. Levitt, Standard Deviations demystifies the science behind statistics and brings into stark relief the fraud that surrounds us all. Gary Smith received his PhD in Economics from Yale University and taught there for seven years. He is the Fletcher Jones Professor of Economics at Pomona College in Claremont, California. This is his first book for general readers.

But for some of the most influential figures in history, death marked the start of a new adventure. The famous deceased have been stolen, burned, sold, pickled, frozen, stuffed, impersonated and even filed away in a lawyer’s office. Their fingers, teeth, toes, arms, legs, skulls, hearts, lungs and nether regions have embarked on voyages that criss-cross the globe and stretch the imagination. Counterfeiters tried to steal Lincoln’s corpse. Einstein’s brain went on a crosscountry road trip. And after Lord Horatio Nelson perished at Trafalgar, his sailors submerged him in brandy – which they drank. From Mozart to Hitler, Rest in Pieces connects the lives of the famous dead to the hilarious and horrifying adventures of their corpses, and traces the evolution of cultural attitudes towards death.

BESS LOVEJOY ‘Deliciously morbid and delightfully macabre, Rest in Pieces is required reading for those of us who intend, one day, to die’

Ben Schott

bestselling author of Schott’s Original Miscellany John Milton RIP: November 8, 1674 (age 65) A century after the great poet’s death, his grave was desecrated during church repairs, and it seems like half of London got in on the act – or at least talked about it. There’s still controversy over whether or not the body really belonged to Milton, but to this day no one’s sure precisely where he is buried, and some think the church staged a cover-up.

Edgar Allan Poe RIP: October 7, 1849 (age 40) Poe’s death remains a strange and sad mystery. We still don’t know why he died, nor the identity of the ‘Poe Toaster’, who used to bring cognac and roses to his grave every year.

Alexander the Great RIP: ca. June 10, 323 BCE (age 32) One of Alexander’s generals used the great warrior’s corpse to establish his own dynasty in Egypt, and Alexander’s tomb became a major pilgrimage site in the ancient world. It disappeared early in the first millennium, but has since become one of archaeology’s most soughtafter prizes. Several times a century, someone claims to have found it.

BROTHER OF SLEEP Robert Schneider

Translated from the German by Shaun Whiteside A magical tale of passion and loss, of a miraculous life born amid the backwaters of Europe ‘The novel’s provocative themes and imagery carry it a long way’ The New York Times

ISBN: 9780715649206 PRICE: £8.99 PUBLICATION: Sept 2014 CATEGORY: Fiction EXTENT: 224pp FORMAT: B-format Paperback EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN/ANZ BIC: FV

In this shocking and beguiling novel, Robert Schneider has created a world that is utterly seductive and utterly original. Could the greatest musician of all time live his life in a peasant village and never be discovered by the world? Set against the mystical and bizarre backdrop of a remote Alpine village in the early nineteenth century, this astounding novel tells the story of Elias Johannes Alder, a musical genius with supernatural hearing who develops his talent in secret midnight sessions at the church organ. A spiritual descendant of Patrick Süskind’s Perfume, Brother of Sleep moves inexorably towards tragedy as Elias is undone by his intense feeling for Elsbeth, the woman he loves. Robert Schneider is a novelist and playwright who has been awarded numerous prizes and scholarships, including the prestigious Robert Musil Prize of the City of Vienna. Brother of Sleep was adapted by Schneider into an acclaimed film directed by Joseph Vilsmaier. There is also an opera and a ballet based on the work.

A bestselling sensation in Russia, Word for Word is nothing less than the story of a nation’s literary conscience – the history of the twentieth century as seen through the eyes of single person. A child of the 1920s, Lilianna Lungina was a Russian Jew born to privilege, spending her childhood in Germany, France and Palestine. But when her parents moved to the USSR when she was thirteen, Lungina became witness to many of the era’s greatest upheavals. Lilianna Lungina was a leading literary translator in the Soviet Union. She translated, among many authors, the works of Astrid Lindgren, August Strindberg, Henrik Ibsen, Henrich Boll, Knut Hamsun and Boris Vian. She was interviewed for a documentary film based on her life, which became one of the most popular television programmes in Russia’s history in 2009.

Classic Crime • October

CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS Charles Williams

The scandalous story of a small town doomed by jealousy, greed and a shared love of hunting ‘[Williams] is just about as good as they come’ The New York Times A defining work from the author of the million-copy selling classic thriller Hill Girl, and the basis for François Truffaut’s acclaimed film of the same name. In the backwoods town of Carthage, there isn’t much to do but drink, sleep and shoot. John Warren is preparing for an early morning duck hunt when he hears two shotgun blasts. Only later does he learn they were the sound of Dan Roberts’ death. Although it appears at first glance that the handsome young man killed himself, Warren and the police are smart enough to realise that suicide victims seldom shoot twice. That night, a drunk woman calls Warren’s house, offering a motive for the crime he didn’t commit. Roberts was sleeping with Warren’s wife – and he wasn’t her only lover. Warren didn’t kill Roberts but, as the rumours begin to swirl, he may wish that he had. In a town where every man is a crack shot, shooting a rival isn’t murder. It’s target practice. Charles Williams was one of the pre-eminent authors of American crime fiction. Many of his novels were adapted for the screen, such as Dead Calm and Don’t Just Stand There!, for which Williams wrote the screenplay. He died in California in 1975.

As a fourteen-year-old black boy living in 1940s South Carolina, Linus Bragg should know better than to follow two white girls on bicycles. But something about Sue Ellen and Cindy Lou compels him. Whatever the reason, he follows the girls into the woods. It’s the worst mistake he ever makes. When he comes into the clearing, both girls are dead and young Linus is the natural suspect. Forty years later, a nephew of Linus’s returns to South Carolina, curious about this dark moment in his family’s past. To find the fourth person who visited the clearing that day means re-opening a sinister chapter of the small town’s history, which certain men thought had closed forever. David Stout is an accomplished reporter who has been writing mysteries and true crime since the 1980s. Born in Pennsylvania, Stout took a job at The New York Times in 1982, where he began writing his first novel, Carolina Skeletons, which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel.

PARANOIACA

The indispensable guide to everyone and everything you should be afraid of or worried about

HENRY BEARD & CHRISTOPHER CERF ‘Everything you know about virtuous living is wrong. But the vice-ridden opposite is also wrong … Luckily, there are no entries for alcohol or reading, so drink to a book that could either cause you to die of a panic attack or laughter’

The Times ‘Be afraid … Henry Beard and Christopher Cerf’s Encyclopedia Paranoiaca is deadly to the humour averse’

Vanity Fair ‘An amusing and cruelly accurate cultural critique … Beard and Cerf gleefully fan the flames of our paranoia’

A recent study found that every hour per day, on average, that you spend in a sedentary position increases your risk of a cancerrelated death by a whopping 9 per cent, and of a cardiovascular disease–related death by an absolutely terrifying 18 per cent. The truly bad news, is that these grim figures apply even if you’re in great physical shape, have impeccable dietary habits, don’t smoke and make a point of getting regular and strenuous exercise during the rest of your day.

Because so many people handle the same bills and coins, the currency you use every day is an ideal spreader of the germs that cause infectious diseases. When scientists examined Indian banknotes, they found germs that can cause, among other things, tuberculosis, meningitis, tonsillitis, peptic ulcers, throat infections and genital tract infections.

‘nice hot cup of tea’ has long been hailed as the perfect remedy for absolutely everything. But a recent Iranian study has literally dashed cold water on this genteel custom. The study found that habitual hot tea drinkers were twice as apt to contract oesophageal cancer as those who regularly drank lukewarm tea. Even worse, those who frequently drank very hot tea were eight times as likely to be suffering from the disease. So how should tea-fanciers respond to this troubling news? With a nice lukewarm cup of tea, naturally.

Indeed, spinach is actually unhealthy because it contains oxalic acid, a chemical that absorbs the vital calcium that all of us – especially children – need to grow and maintain strong bones and teeth (not to mention having properly functioning muscles and nervous systems).

SEX VERSUS SURVIVAL The Life and Ideas of Sabina Spielrein

John Launer The first full and accessible account of one of the most significant and overlooked figures in the field of sexual psychology Who was Sabina Spielrein? Her dramatic life story is most famous for her notorious affair with Carl Jung, dramatised in the film A Dangerous Method starring Keira Knightley. Yet she was a woman who overcame family and psychiatric abuse to become an original thinker in the field of psychotherapy. This is the first biography to put her life and ideas at the centre of the story, and to examine Spielrein’s key role in the development of psychoanalysis and in the rift between Jung and Freud. Drawing on fresh research into Spielrein’s diaries, papers and correspondence, John Launer tells the story of a passionate woman who transformed herself from one of Jung’s disturbed patients into a leading figure in Western psychology, then the Soviet intelligentsia, before losing her life in the Holocaust. At the heart of Sex Versus Survival is the gripping tale of Spielrein and Jung’s tumultuous affair, which played such an important role in both of their lives and intellectual journeys. Launer shows how Spielrein’s overlooked ideas – rejected by Jung and Freud, but substantially vindicated by later developments in psychology and evolutionary biology – may represent the last and most important stage in the rediscovery of an extraordinary life. John Launer is on the senior staff of the Tavistock Clinic in London, the leading training institute in the UK for psychological treatment, and is the Associate Dean for postgraduate medical education at the University of London. He is a doctor and family therapist, and a renowned medical columnist both nationally and internationally.

Classic and Contemporary Russian Literature

AN EVENING WITH CLAIRE Gaito Gazdanov

Translated by Jodi Daynard ‘Jodi Daynard’s rendering of the tender, nostalgic but unsentimental prose seems flawless’ The New York Times

ISBN: 9780715649176 PRICE: £10.99 PUBLICATION: Aug 2014 CATEGORY: Fiction EXTENT: 144pp FORMAT: TPB EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN/ANZ BIC: F

Originally published in 1930, Gaito Gazdanov’s An Evening with Claire is a masterpiece of Russian émigré literature. Written when its author was just twenty-six – with the memories of his harsh years in the Russian civil war still hauntingly vivid in his mind – An Evening with Claire is a psychological novel that is both grand and introspective. Gazdanov’s first novel is at once an intimate and sensual account of a young man’s coming-of-age, and a tribute to the shattered dreams of the early twentieth century. As Jodi Daynard writes in her tremendously informed introduction, An Evening with Claire ‘presented prerevolutionary Russia and the cataclysmic events which destroyed it in a manner both real and wistful, unregretful yet tender.’

THE INVISIBLE BOOK

Sergei Dovlatov

Translated by Diana Burgin & Katherine Tiernan O’Connor ‘A brilliant and breezy satirist’ The New York Times

ISBN: 9780715649183 PRICE: £11.99 PUBLICATION: Aug 2014 CATEGORY: Fiction EXTENT: 144pp FORMAT: TPB EXCLUSIVE: UK/IRE NOT FOR SALE: US/CAN/ANZ BIC: F

One of the heroes of late Soviet literature, Sergei Dovlatov was as admired and beloved in the United States as he was among the Soviet intelligentsia. A regular contributor to The New York Times and the New Yorker, the ‘delightful’ (New Yorker) Dovlatov captured all that was ridiculous and brutal about Soviet life, but always with the lightest touch. The Invisible Book is a marvellously funny novel about the daily compromises and humiliations of life as a Soviet writer. Featuring letters from stubborn editors and foolish officials, The Invisible Book is unflinching in its portrait of a cruel bureaucracy, but, at the same time, never less than hilarious.
