FictionJanuary 2020The Illusionist on the Skywalk (Sean Chuang)
by Wu Ming-Yi, Sean Chuang
* 2020 Japan International Manga Award (Silver)* 2020 Golden Comic Award* French, Japanese, and Korean rights have been sold for the original novel and a TV series is soon to be released. Man Booker prize nominee Wu Ming-Yi’s much-loved collection of nostalgic short stories, as a graphic novel. Let the artists whisk you back to Taipei of the 1980s, to the long-gone Chunghwa Market Bazaar and a world of magical memories. In 1980s Taipei, the Chunghwa Market Bazaar was home to hardware stores, snack stalls, record shops, tailors, locksmiths and seal-carvers – if you needed it, you could find it here. Any resident of Taipei at the time will have precious memories of the eight buildings that formed the market. And linking those buildings, they will remember, was a skywalk. And perhaps one day, on the skywalk, they saw an illusionist. The illusionist on the skywalk has many tricks. He can magic up a copy of a key, make the safety railing disappear, and have a papercut man stand up and dance. Children cluster round, trying to spot the trick to his tricks. Years later, those children are grown and the market is gone, and all that is left is stories steeped in magic: The elevator to the 99th floor that turns you invisible, the stone lion that walks into your dreams and joins you for a stroll, the drawing of a goldfish which comes to life and swims around its bowl (although if you look closely, you can see through it) and a curiously clever cat which keeps lonely old folk company. Adapted from a collection of short stories by Taiwan’s best-known writer, Wu Ming-Yi, this graphic novel has been created by two artists, each drawing four stories from the lives of those children who watched the illusionist on the skywalk. These are tales of adventure and setback, of love and death – of all that we must face as we grow up, told in a blend of nostalgia and magical realism. Let Wu Ming-Yi’s words and the art of Sean Chuang and Ruan Guang-Ming carry you back to 1980s Taipei.

The Mystery of Right and Wrong
by Wayne Johnston

When Wade, a young writer, meets and falls in love with Rachel, he learns that nothing in the world of the van Houts is what it seems, and that Rachel’s obsessions have deeper and more disturbing roots than he couldever have imagined. Each of the four beautiful, dutiful daughters is, in her distinctive way, a wounded soul. The oldest, Gloria, is a hyper-sexual exhibitionist (or is she?) who, by the age of 28, has been married five times. Carmen is addicted to every drug her Afrikaans drug pusher husband Fritz can lay his hands on. Sardonic and self-deprecating Bethany, aka Deathany, is fighting a losing battle with anorexia. And then there is Rachel, who reads and writes obsessively, diarizing her days in a secret language of her own invention. Set in Newfoundland, apartheid era South Africa, wartime Amsterdam, and two concentration camps this is an intricately woven and propulsive novel that chronicles the unmasking of a mythomaniacal family and the sisters’ fight for love and their very lives. Informed by real events, it is a real tour de force.

FictionAccidental Hitman
by A.W. Wilson
“Hitmen don’t worry about what their underwear’s like, but then proper hitmen don’t poo in their pants.” When Tom White’s dead-end life is blighted by his neighbour’s parties Tom’s aversion to face to face confrontation leads him to an unusual action: he kills the noise pollutant. Unknown to Tom, the neighbour was a target for Stan Costanza, head of a powerful criminal enterprise. Costanza’s heavies are more adept than the police at tracking Tom down and in a farcically comic meeting become convinced that Tom is a skilled lone assassin “one of them ones with the eastern mystical influences”. They offer him another hit and Tom, too scared and perhaps too flattered to decline, takes the job, and the next. Colin, Tom’s best friend, shares Tom’s macabre moral compass and rides shotgun on his assignments, leading to a series of comedy set-pieces but inevitably into darker waters as the reality of their actions takes hold, causing the pair to fall out. Tom catches the interest of Laura, the barmaid in his local pub, and becomes torn between his desire for the long-term object of his affections and the need to keep his nefarious activities from her. When the impossibly beautiful Stephanie arrives, Tom assumes she is a high-ranking member of Costanza’s operation and takes the contracts she assigns. Stephanie doesn’t tell him that her father was murdered by Stan Costanza in a criminal coup d’etat. Stephanie is orchestrating a turf-war between two rival gangs using Tom, along with some of Costanza’s own people, as a key piece in her game to avenge her father’s death and regain her birthright. By the time he realises that he is an unwitting double agent, Tom is being pursued by two police forces and both gangs. As the net closes around him he has no option but to ‘fess up to Laura, make peace with Colin and leave his fate in the hands of Stephanie. Costanza meets his arch-rival, Joe Barrett, for a sit-down to discusstheir mutual problem - namely Tom White - but this is actually Stephanie’s final push. She shows her cards to the hapless crime-lords, including the fact that she has turned most of their own men against them. In a final showdown, Stephanie kills both men and takes what is rightfully hers. But what of Tom? Wanted for murder he badly needs a fresh start. Stephanie uses her valuable connections to set up a new life for him, Laura and Colin under the cloak of the witness protection program in the USA. They have a new home, new names and Tom has a new job, one that makes good use of his talents and protects his anonymity: an executioner for the state of Texas. Accidental Hitman is a thriller but features large doses of comedy in the rapport between the characters, the first-person narrator’s musings on modern life and the farcical situations Tom and Colin bumble into as they carry out their murders-to-order.
