Italy's most popular author takes a break from his famed Inspector Montalbano mystery series for this slim, action-packed novel based in historical fact. Pulling from personal documents and court records this "reverse Spaghetti Western" recounts the years long struggle of a principled family that refused and resisted the exploitation of both the mafia and the fascist government.
Have you ever begun a book and immediately felt you were in the hands of a classic? That's what Magda Szabo's THE DOOR is like. THE DOOR has the simplest premise, but the moral complexity of a great tragedy. Magda, a successful author, decides to hire Emerence, a peasant housekeeper well known in the village. What follows is a psychological portrait of two very different women over a period of decades, replete with the passions and barbs inherent in complex friendships. Beautifully translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix, THE DOOR will leave you speechless with admiration.
Imagine if THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy were pre-apocalyptic. CENSUS is a beautiful tale about a father's unconditional love for his son and his fears of letting him go.
Deliciously disturbing, surreal, and stunning. The narrator, Abby, is simultaneously horrifying and relatable, slithering through seclusion, obsession, maina, and manipulation toward her inevitable destiny. This narrative is a stylistic and artistic marvel - it shimmers in its own peculiar darkness. Perfectly twisted.
Ambitious and extensive, UNDERLAND plunges the reader into an epic journey below the earth; from sea caves to the catacombs of Paris to fungal networks and beyond. This haunting and lyrical treatise is an exploration of humanity's expansive ties to the subterranean, not only including Macfarlane's travels and observations but those of artists, murderers, and explorers. Macfarlane seeks out the darkness of our world, weaving his findings together in a narrative of mystery, strangeness, and ultimately, brilliance.
