All We Saw Anne Michaels A mesmerising, luminously beautiful new poetry collection from Anne Michaels, internationally acclaimed poet and bestselling author of Fugitive Pieces

I

n her fifth collection Anne Michaels returns, with lyrics that are strikingly original, to explore one of her essential concerns: ‘what love makes us capable of, and incapable of ’. Here is the mystery at the heart of loss, the ways in which passion must accept, must insist, that ‘death... give/not only take from us’. Lyrics of various forms and longer poems explore desire in a style chaste, spare, figuratively modulated, calm and almost classical in its precision. By the book’s end, we are left with a renewed awareness of the mystery at the core of our astonishing lives.

Questioning both wartime collaboration in France and the myths of the Gaullist era, each of these novels concerns a young man trying to make sense of a morally ambiguous world – the world of black marketeers and prostitutes, anti-Semites and informers, the French Gestapo and the Resistance. These brilliant, almost hallucinatory fictions evoke a portrait of an occupied city.

Patrick Modiano was born in 1945. From his first book to his most recent, he has pursued a quest for identity and reconciliation with the past. His screen plays include Lacombe Lucien (1974) and among his many prizes are the Grand Prix du roman de l’Académie française (1972) and the Prix Goncourt (1978).

Frank Wynne is the prize-winning translator of Michel Houellebecq, Frédéric Beigbeder and Boualem Sansal.

All the Dirty Parts Daniel Handler A gutsy, bracing novel recounting the erotic impulses of an all-too-typical young male, from the bestselling Lemony Snicket series author

N

othing in high school life compares to the allure of sex for teenager Cole.

Cole sleeps around, consumes pornography and fantasises about practically anyone he meets. But when something startling begins to happen between Cole and his best friend, it might be what he’s been after all this time. And then he meets Grisaille.

An unblinking take on the world of teenage desire in a culture of unrelenting explicitness, where queer can be as fluid as consent, where sex feels like love, but no one knows what love feels like. Tender, brutal and funny – and always intoxicating.

Utopia for Realists And How We Can Get There

Rutger Bregman Translated from Dutch by Elizabeth Manton ‘This book is brilliant. Everyone should read it’ Richard Wilkinson, author of The Spirit Level

T

he crisis of our times is not that we don’t have it good, or even that we might be worse off in the near future, it’s that we don’t have the imagination to come up with anything better.

A huge bestseller in the original Dutch, garnering plaudits from a swathe of eminent thinkers, Utopia for Realists overturns existing notions about how to run society with radical yet wholly practical ideas for a happier, healthier, wealthier world. From Universal Basic Income to a 15-hour working week, evidence is piled up for solutions to the problems of inequality and unhappiness growing across the globe today.

Rutger Bregman is already one of Europe’s most prominent young thinkers at the age of 28. He has published three books on history, philosophy and economics. His History of Progress won the Belgian Liberales prize for best non-fiction book in 2013 and he has twice been nominated for the prestigious European Press Prize for his journalism work at De Correspondent.

9 March 1849, Lahore. In a formal Act of Submission, the 10-year-old Maharajah of the Punjab hands over to the British East Company not only swathes of the richest land in India but the celebrated Koh-i-Noor diamond.

The result is a revelatory exploration of south and central Asian history, taking in murder, torture, colonialism and appropriation, following the jewel on its journey to its current controversial home: set in the crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

The Incest Diary Anonymous An extraordinary, powerful and beautifully written memoir of a daughter’s abuse by, and attachment to, her father

T

hroughout her childhood and adolescence, the anonymous author of The Incest Diary was raped by her father. Beneath a veneer of normal family life, she grew up in and around this all-encompassing secret. Her sexual relationship with her father lasted, off and on, into her twenties. It formed her world, and it formed her deepest fears and desires.

In this graphic and harrowing memoir, the author revisits her early traumas and their aftermath from deep within to explore the ways in which her father’s abuse shaped her, and still does.

As a matter of psychic survival, she became both a sexual object and a detached observer, a dutiful daughter and the protector of a dirty secret. And then, years later, she made herself write it down.

fter graduating from Princeton, Kushanava Choudhury moved back to the city his immigrant parents had abandoned. Once the capital of the British Raj, then India’s industrial and cultural hub, by 2001 Calcutta was clearly past its prime.

Yet it was still home to 15 million people. Working for the Statesman, its leading English newspaper, Choudhury found the streets of his childhood unchanged by time. Shouting hawkers still overran the footpaths, politics still meant barricades, while Communist ministers travelled in motorcades. Sifting through the chaos for the stories that never make the papers, Choudhury paints a soulful portrait of the everyday lives that make Calcutta.

Kushanava Choudhury grew up in Calcutta and New Jersey. After graduating from Princeton University he worked as a reporter at the Statesman in Calcutta. He went on to receive a PhD in Political Theory from Yale University before returning to Calcutta to write a book about the city. The Epic City is his first book.

Kafka In Light of the Accident

Howard Caygill A radical new way of reading Kafka through challenging misguided assumptions and legends surrounding his legacy and reception

I

n this unique philosophical interpretation of Kafka, Howard Caygill reveals how his reception was governed by a series of accidents − from the order of Max Brod’s posthumous publication of the novels and the correction of ‘misprints’, to many other posthumous editorial strategies. Focus on ‘the accident’ casts light on the role of media in Kafka’s work, particularly visual media and above all photography.

Caygill also fundamentally questions the view of Kafka’s work as ‘kafkaesque’ and argues that his work is best read as a narration of defiance, one which affirms the role of error and contingency in historical struggle.

ransfixed by a rape case on a college campus in which the accused cited his feminist upbringing in his defence, Heidi Julavits – herself a feminist with a young son – began asking questions about parenting. Can parents with feminist values simply assume the transference of their cultural and moral standards as children become adults?

The result is a critical polemic – one mother’s intellectual and personal investigation into the ultimate contemporary tension between the forces of culture and the influence of nurture.

n his usual frank, and sometimes brutally honest manner, Wittgenstein reveals a side of himself few would have known and an insight into the development of his relationships and ideas over the course of 40 years in these revealing letters to his family. We learn more about his refusal to be known as a ‘Wittgenstein’ during his time as a school teacher and his insistence to celebrate Christmas with his friends rather than family. These personal letters not only illuminate Wittgenstein the philosopher, they bring us closer to Ludwig Wittgenstein the man.

o American city was more important to the Nazis than Los Angeles, home to the greatest propaganda machine in the world, Hollywood. A two-pronged strategy was developed by Nazis on American soil: Georg Gyssling was to prevent films critical of the regime, while Hermann Schwinn was to build a network of collaborators to paralyse the defence on the Pacific Coast. In 1933, Jewish real estate lawyer Leon L. Lewis, alarmed by growing anti-Semitic propaganda in Los Angeles, used his connections to recruit ex-soldiers to infiltrate fascist and Nazi groups. This is the fascinating story of Lewis’s spy network, as they foiled Nazi plans by fuelling Schwinn’s and Gyssling’s bitter rivalry.

Wonders Beyond Numbers A History of All Things Mathematical

Johnny Ball An all-encompassing history of maths from household name Johnny Ball

J

ohnny Ball has been a well-loved name in mathematics for many years. Wonders Beyond Numbers is his magnum opus, and his first book for more than 10 years.

The scope of the book is breathtaking. Running in chronological order, it shows that every breakthrough in maths represents a single step forward, resting on the work of others. It’s all-encompassing, yet written in a light and reader-friendly fashion, and filled with diagrams to help explain the principles. Dotted throughout are stories from Johnny’s life, both in front of the camera and in the real world too.

A lifelong maths obsessive, Johnny Ball started as a Butlin’s redcoat and stand-up comic before appearing on BBC’s Play School from 1967. His real breakthrough came in 1977, with the series Think of a Number, a tea-time popular maths show. A smash hit, this spawned other shows, as Johnny quickly became one of the most famous faces on British television.

Ross King ‘A fine, fluent book … A careful unpicking of cherished art-historical narratives’ Kathryn Hughes, Guardian

laude Monet’s water lily paintings are legendary, in museums all over the world and among our most beloved works of art.

The extraordinarily dramatic history behind the creation of these paintings is little-known; Ross King’s new book tells the full story for the first time and, in the process, presents a compelling and original portrait of one of our most admired artists.
