He became a bestselling novelist while still in college, immediately famous and wealthy. He watched his insufferable father reduced to a bag of ashes in a safety-deposit box. He was lost in a haze of booze, drugs and vilification. Then he was given a second chance. This is the life of Bret Easton Ellis, the subject of this remarkable novel. Confounding one expectation after another, Lunar Park is equally hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking. It's the most original novel of an extraordinary career -- and best of all: it all happened, every word is true. 'An enormously entertaining novel, powered by a celebratory fun entirely absent in the writing of the generation of American writers who succeeded Ellis' Independent 'Great emotional complexity and depth ...it's a very interesting ride with an always interesting novelist -- and, as such, is one worth taking' The Times 'Sharply observed, insidiously disquieting and extremely funny' Literary Review 'A triumphant piece of storytelling from a rebel whose work is controversial precisely because its sinister themes are so dexterously written' Chris Cleave, Sunday Telegraph

Fortelleren lar sitt raseri få utløp i et åpent brev til Osama Bin Laden. Etter at familien hennes er blitt drept, forsøker hun å komme seg ut av fortvilelsen og et samfunn som er styrt av frykt og egosentrisme. Det er ei fortelling hvor personlige svik reflekterer nasjonale svik, og hvor det britiske klassesystemet viser seg som ei tikkende bombe.

Two unaccompanied children travel across the Mediterranean in an overcrowded boat that has been designed to only make it halfway across... A 63-year-old man is woken one morning by border officers 'acting on a tip-off' and, despite having paid taxes for 28 years, is suddenly cast into the detention system with no obvious means of escape... An orphan whose entire life has been spent in slavery - first on a Ghanaian farm, then as a victim of trafficking - writes to the Home Office for help, only to be rewarded with a jail sentence and indefinite detention... These are not fictions. Nor are they testimonies from some distant, brutal past, but the frighteningly common experiences of Europe's new underclass - its refugees. While those with "citizenship" enjoy basic human rights (like the right not to be detained without charge for more than 14 days), people seeking asylum can be suspended for years in Kafka-esque uncertainty. Here, poets and novelists retell the stories of individuals who have direct experience of Britain's policy of indefinite immigration detention.

Alla som gillade Little Bee av Chris Cleave kommer att älska denna hjärtskärande berättelse. Här blandas våldsamhet och förtvivlan med vänskap och kärlek i en gripande historia. Det är en bok som får oss att gråta, skratta och se världen med nya ögon. Här är jag nu är en roman som levandegör hur det är att vara flykting - att utan skyddsnät kastas in i en främmande kultur. Karen Campbell har skrivit en "feelgood"-bok som också får läsaren att tänka efter. Abdi har, tillsammans med sin fyraåriga dotter Rebecca, kommit till Skottland för att söka asyl. De har flytt fasansfulla händelser och Rebecca är så traumatiserad att hon slutat prata. Abdi är förvirrad över allt det nya som möter honom. I Somalia var han fiskare, lärare och familjefar. Hur ska han kunna skapa ett nytt liv åt sig och sin dotter i ett främmande land? Deborah, en drygt fyrtioårig och barnlös kvinna som just begravt sin man, blir Abdis mentor och försöker hjälpa honom och Rebecca tillrätta. I drygt ett års tid träffas de varje månad. Till en början är vänskapen lite tafatt och stel men den växer sig allt starkare, och gradvis får de lära sig mer om varandras brokiga förflutna. KAREN CAMPBELL är författare och före detta polis. Hon har tidigare gett ut flera romaner och tilldelades år 2009 Best New Scottish Writer Award. "[...] åh! Karen Campbell kan berätta om relationer och motsättningar så att man både gråter och skrattar." Lotta Olsson, DN " Här är jag nu av skotskan Karen Campbell är det mest gripande jag läst det senaste året." Inger Lundqvist, Norran "När jag läser Här är jag nu dras tankarna till Chris Cleaves underbara Little Bee , från 2012. Där som här finns det som, tror jag, är litteraturens ursprungligaste och viktigaste källåder; det annorlunda perspektivet, det att se världen med någon annans ögon och därigenom växa som människa. Därtill är boken välskriven och välkomnande mot sina läsare. Läs den mycket gärna." Anna Rudberg-W, Östgöta Correspondenten "En varm berättelse [...] skildrar människan bakom statistiken så att det känns." Anette Helgesson, Söderhamnskuriren "En storsint och varmhjärtad berättelse om livet bakom statistiken" Daily Mail "En av de starkaste romaner jag läst på länge. Osminkad och osentimental [...] Tror du dig ha ett socialt samvete? Läs denna, gråt och tänk en gång till." Helen Walsh "Lågmäld, medkännande och gripande. Den bästa sortens bladvändare, man skyndar sig till slutet för man står inte ut med tanken på att överge människorna. Underbar!" Shelly Harris

For seven-year-old Raami, the shattering end of childhood begins with the footsteps of her father returning home in the early dawn hours bringing details of the civil war that has overwhelmed the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. Displaying the author's extraordinary gift for language, In the Shadow of the Banyanis testament to the transcendent power of narrative and a brilliantly wrought tale of human resilience.

»Årets finaste bok som fick mig att gråta och skratta mig igenom alla 300 sidor. En otroligt fin historia om en man och hans tax och en hjärntumör.« Lotta Larsson Nyström, Kulturkollo Det här är en bok om att hitta den rätta: den som följer dig i vått och torrt, den du inte kan föreställa dig att behöva leva utan. För Ted Flask en ensamstående, medelålders, aningen neurotisk man som aldrig fått rätsida på sina mellanmänskliga relationer heter den rätta Lily. Hon råkar vara en hund. En 12-årig tax, närmare bestämt, som precis blivit diagnostiserad med en hjärntumör. Lily och bläckfisken handlar om Teds och Lilys sista månader tillsammans, och är en bok som förenar realism med fantasi och humor. Det är en berättelse om villkorslös kärlek, djup lojalitet och hjärtskärande förlust, och en rörande skildring om de alldeles särskilda sorts känsloband som bara kan uppstå mellan en människa och ett husdjur.Lily och bläckfisken är Steven Rowleys hyllade, delvis självbiografiska debutroman, som har jämförts med både Berättelsen om Pi och Enzo och konsten att köra fort i regn . STEVEN ROWLEY är en amerikansk författare, kolumnist och manusförfattare. Han föddes i Maine och utbildade sig på Emerson College. Idag bor han i Los Angeles med sin pojkvän och deras hund. Lily och bläckfisken är hans debutroman. »En helt oemotståndlig bok med oförglömliga karaktärer och en historia jag kommer att bära med mig länge, länge.« Hyllan »Förtjusande debutroman.« Karin Flygare, BTJ »Fantastisk, gripande & vackert skriven!« Betyg 5 av 5, Jennies Boklista »Jag måste helt enkelt rekommendera boken till alla djurägare. Den är en sann kärlekshistoria.« Bokbesatt »Hjärtskärande och makalöst bra.« Washington post »Originell, spektakulär och rörande.« Chris Cleave, författare till Little Bee »På sitt roliga, intensiva och distinkt knasiga vis formulerar Rowley exakt hur det känns att älska en hund.« Kirkus Review

Leon is nine, and has a perfect baby brother called Jake. They have gone to live with Maureen, who has fuzzy red hair like a halo, and a belly like Father Christmas. But the adults are speaking in low voices, and wearing Pretend faces. They are threatening to give Jake to strangers. Since Jake is white and Leon is not. As Leon struggles to cope with his anger, certain things can still make him smile - like Curly Wurlys, riding his bike fast downhill, burying his hands deep in the soil, hanging out with Tufty (who reminds him of his dad), and stealing enough coins so that one day he can rescue Jake and his mum. Evoking a Britain of the early eighties, My Name is Leon is a heart-breaking story of love, identity and learning to overcome unbearable loss. Of the fierce bond between siblings. And how - just when we least expect it - we manage to find our way home.
