NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Los Angeles Times • San Francisco Chronicle • Harper’s Bazaar • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • The Guardian • The Kansas City Star • National Post • BookPage • Kirkus Reviews From Salman Rushdie, one of the great writers of our time, comes a spellbinding work of fiction that blends history, mythology, and a timeless love story. A lush, richly layered novel in which our world has been plunged into an age of unreason, Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a breathtaking achievement and an enduring testament to the power of storytelling. In the near future, after a storm strikes New York City, the strangenesses begin. A down-to-earth gardener finds that his feet no longer touch the ground. A graphic novelist awakens in his bedroom to a mysterious entity that resembles his own sub–Stan Lee creation. Abandoned at the mayor’s office, a baby identifies corruption with her mere presence, marking the guilty with blemishes and boils. A seductive gold digger is soon tapped to combat forces beyond imagining. Unbeknownst to them, they are all descended from the whimsical, capricious, wanton creatures known as the jinn, who live in a world separated from ours by a veil. Centuries ago, Dunia, a princess of the jinn, fell in love with a mortal man of reason. Together they produced an astonishing number of children, unaware of their fantastical powers, who spread across generations in the human world. Once the line between worlds is breached on a grand scale, Dunia’s children and others will play a role in an epic war between light and dark spanning a thousand and one nights—or two years, eight months, and twenty-eight nights. It is a time of enormous upheaval, in which beliefs are challenged, words act like poison, silence is a disease, and a noise may contain a hidden curse. Inspired by the traditional “wonder tales” of the East, Salman Rushdie’s novel is a masterpiece about the age-old conflicts that remain in today’s world. Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is satirical and bawdy, full of cunning and folly, rivalries and betrayals, kismet and karma, rapture and redemption. Praise for Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights “Rushdie is our Scheherazade. . . . This book is a fantasy, a fairytale—and a brilliant reflection of and serious meditation on the choices and agonies of our life in this world.” —Ursula K. Le Guin, The Guardian “One of the major literary voices of our time . . . In reading this new book, one cannot escape the feeling that [Rushdie’s] years of writing and success have perhaps been preparation for this moment, for the creation of this tremendously inventive and timely novel.” —San Francisco Chronicle “A wicked bit of satire . . . [Rushdie] riffs and expands on the tales of Scheherazade, another storyteller whose spinning of yarns was a matter of life and death.” —USA Today “A swirling tale of genies and geniuses [that] translates the bloody upheavals of our last few decades into the comic-book antics of warring jinn wielding bolts of fire, mystical transmutations and rhyming battle spells.” —The Washington Post “Great fun . . . The novel shines brightest in the panache of its unfolding, the electric grace and nimble eloquence and extraordinary range and layering of his voice.” —The Boston Globe

Drawing on twenty years of research, this is the definitive biography of Primo Levi. Over the last seventy years, Primo Levi (1919-87) has been recognized as the foremost literary witness of the extermination of the European Jews. In Primo Levi: An Identikit, a product of twenty years of research, Marco Belpoliti explores Levi's tormented life, his trajectory as a writer and intellectual, and, above all, his multifaceted and complex oeuvre. Organized in a mosaic format, this volume devotes a different chapter to each of Levi's books. In addition to tracing the history of each book's composition, publication, and literary influences, Belpoliti explores their contents across the many worlds of Primo Levi: from chemistry to anthropology, biology to ethology, space flights to linguistics. If This Is a Man, his initially rejected masterpiece, is also reread with a fresh perspective. We learn of dreams, animals, and travel, of literary writing, comedy, and tragedy, of shame, memory, and the relationship with other writers such as Franz Kafka and Georges Perec, Jean Améry and Varlam Shalamov. Fundamental themes such as Judaism, the camp, and testimony innervate the book, which is complemented by photographs and letters found by the author in hitherto unexplored archives. This will be the definitive book on Primo Levi, a treasure trove of stories and reflections that paint a rich, nuanced composite portrait of one of the twentieth century's most unique and urgent voices.

Dublin, 16. Juni 1904: ein Tag im Leben des Anzeigenakquisiteurs Leopold Bloom und die Sensationen des Gewöhnlichen – James Joyce hat aus einem Minimum an Stoff ein Maximum an Buch erschaffen: den Ulysses , den bedeutendsten Roman der Moderne, ein Jahrhundertwerk. Joyce' auch in formaler Hinsicht spektakuläre Schöpfung hat Nicolas Mahler zu einer Bilderzählung inspiriert, die keine blosse Illustration oder Adaption des Romans darstellt, sondern ein eigenständiges und ebenso erfindungsreiches wie witziges Werk. Mit den Mitteln des Comics werden hier die verschiedenen literarischen Techniken des Originals zeichnerisch verwandelt. Mahler montiert, zitiert und schwadroniert dabei ganz im Geiste von Joyce. Mit seiner Comic-Interpretation des modernen Klassikers, die zugleich eine Hommage an eine goldene Ära des Zeitungscomics darstellt, ist der Ulysses auf ungeahnte Weise ganz neu zu entdecken.

One Christmas when I was in my early twenties, my mother, my sister, and I returned home from midnight services to find my deeply private and resolutely lapsed father watching John Paul II’s mass at St. Peter’s on television, his face wet with tears. Distressed to see him thus, we asked why he was crying. “Because when I last heard the mass in Latin,” he replied, “I thought I had a religion, and I thought I had a country.” My father, like Albert Camus, was a pied-noir, a French Algerian.

Can she and Dan unite to uncover the truth? And can piecing together Nancy's story fix their broken family--or are some wounds too deep to heal? Review Quotes "Immersive, compelling and beautifully written--book clubs will devour The Last Time I Saw You. Another surefire winner for Jo Leevers! Outstanding, I adored it." --Andrea Mara, author of No One Saw a Thing"This taut, lovely novel is a modern-day odyssey of pain and revelation. It has all the momentum of a thriller and all the heart of a family coming to terms with its own messy truth. Jo Leevers is a master of forgiveness, that most divine of highwire human acts." --Catherine Newman, author of We All Want Impossible Things"Part road trip, part meditation on motherhood, this gripped me from start to finish. Full of secrets and so moving." --Kate Maxwell, author of Hush"So beautiful and so human. A brilliant story that will stay with me." --Laura Pearson, author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont"A beautifully written story about the family ties that bind us. An absolute joy to read." --Carole Hailey, author of The Silence Project"Emotional, dramatic and full of suspense, The Last Time I Saw You is a gripping story about families--the secrets that drive them apart and the connections that bind them together." --Eleanor Ray, author of Everything Is Beautiful"Utterly riveting and heartbreakingly beautiful. Full of rich details and poignancy and populated by characters so real I could almost reach out and touch them. Jo Leevers writes about our secrets, our disappointments and our quiet tragedies. She writes about families and relationships and finding the courage to begin again--in short, the very stuff of life. I don't know what else could be more important." --Emily Critchley, author of One Puzzling Afternoon"A touching story of love, loss and what it means to be a mother. I devoured it in one sitting but it will stay with me for far longer." --Imogen Clark, author of In A Single Moment"The Last Time I Saw You hooked me from the very first chapter. It has so many elements I love to read about: Estranged family members? Yes, please. A missing mother? Double yes. A road trip story with a bit of mystery? I'm all in! But in this case, it was the rich and nuanced character development that kept me turning the pages. Jo Leevers is so good at uncovering emotional depths in a way that grips you by the heart--and, in some cases, gives a twist that leaves you aching." --Lauren Parvizi, author of La Vie, According to Rose"I loved this family drama turned mystery as Georgie, now an adult on the brink of motherhood herself, follows fresh leads to find her mother. Pick this one up for sure!" --Amy Hagstrom, author of The Wild Between Us"An immersive and emotional powerhouse of a book. By the end of the novel, I was so fully invested that I felt bereft when the characters left me. Jo's ability to wrap her readers in a comforting cloak while teasing out all the difficult emotions is remarkable." --Emma-Claire Wilson, author of This Child of Mine"Dark threads entwine across the generations as characters struggle to decide whether 'some acts of betrayal are beyond forgiveness.' Hugely engrossing, thought-provoking and moving. A rich, driven and beautifully written story about people's flaws, misconceptions and mendacity from the author of the brilliant Tell Me How This Ends." --Liz Webb, author of The Saved"A skilfully crafted story about generational trauma, love and forgiveness. A must read." --Alison Stockham, author of The Cuckoo Sister"Heart wrenching and gripping in equal measure, written with a light and deft touch." --Rebecca De Winter, author of Best Friends"Jo Leevers's writing that hits all the right notes and reminds me of Maggie O'Farrell. This is a journey in the literal and metaphorical sense as Georgie and her brother search for answers about loss and abandonment, of what family means and how their childhoods shaped them. A layered and utterly compelling read." --Jane Crittenden, author of World Apart"I've always enjoyed road trips in books and films, and this one with heavily pregnant Georgie and her estranged brother was gripping from start to finish. A fabulous read." --Kitty Johnson, author of Five Winters"I've just finished The Last Time I Saw You. I absolutely whizzed through it and thought it was a beautiful, moving novel, a deftly structured, absorbing story of guilt, secrets and redemption." --Zoe Sommerville, author of The Marsh House
