October 2016Endlose Nacht
Träume im Jahrhundert der Gewalt
by Barbara Hahn
Mithilfe von Träumen skizziert Barbara Hahns großer Essay eine Unheilsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ihre Untersuchung widmet sich Träumen, die eine Welt aus Verfolgung, Not, Zwang und Leiden erschreckend direkt vorwegnehmen, schildern, in Bilder fassen. Sowie Berichten von Überlebenden, die in einer dauerhaft beschädigten Realität weiterexistieren – denen Wirklichkeit nur mehr ein Schatten ist – die nur in den Träumen toter Anderer sich noch ‚am Leben‘ wähnen. Im 20. Jahrhundert haben sich Traumaufzeichnungen als eine eigene literarische Gattung etabliert – durch eine Fülle (oft entlegener) Veröffentlichungen. Nachforschend, aufstöbernd, einkreisend, ebenso sorgsam wie behende führt die Autorin durch diesen bislang wenig erschlossenen Kosmos. Es treten Anna Achmatowa, Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Charlotte Beradt, Jean Cayrol, Hélène Cixous, Franz Fühmann, Graham Greene, Wieland Herzfelde, Otto Dov Kulka, Primo Levi, Paula Ludwig, Elsa Morante, Heiner Müller, Georges Perec, Jorge Semprún, Vercors, Marguerite Yourcenar und viele andere auf.

Espionage & spy thrillerMossad Agent Cobra
An Espionage & Terrorism Thriller
by Dov Nardimon
Nisim Kobarsky, a high ranking Mossad agent named "Cobra", finishes a long and nerve-racking period of service in Syria. He is sent on an apparently low-key,low risk mission: he assumes the identity of Pedro Tariki, an Argentinean of Syrian origin and studies biology at the Sorbonne in Paris. His mission is to follow the roots of the revolutionary Muslim movements, which have flourished under the intellectual liberalism that France has always cherished. Cobra exceeds all expectations thanks to a friendship he develops with Sergey Ismailov, a Muslim, Tajikistan-born, Soviet officer, who proves to be an excellent source of intelligence. Even Cobra's French sweetheart, Denise is unaware of his true identity. Then the predator becomes the prey as the tables turn. A hostage of the Islamic revolution in Iran, Ismailov concocts a diabolical scheme in which the unsuspecting Cobra is involved. Should he succeed, Israel would face a national disaster. Mossad agent Cobra is the story of a head-on collision between two lone wolves, both captives of their principles and both highly trained professionals. The plot takes the reader across the globe, from the crumbling Soviet Republic, through Tehran, to Paris, Syria, Buenos Aires and Israel. Global Jihad serves as the inspiration for this fictional scenario that is chillingly probable.

February 2022Gagman
by Dov Fedler with Joanna Fedler
As the Sydney Jewish Museum put it, « Gagman is a 21st century Scheherazade, a tale of our time. » It’s the tale of a man who survives the Nazi concentration camps by telling jokes to the commandant. Each time he lives to see another day, another prison does not. And so ultimately it is about survivor's guilt to the extreme and explores how we make meaning in a post-Holocaust world. The author, Dov Fedler, was one of South Africa’s most beloved and preeminent political cartoonists before his retirement in 2016. He first imagined Gagman while in an Israeli hotel room in 1986 and the story has never stopped evolving since then. There were so many drafts and versions that Dov lost sight of how to piece it all together. He also had experienced powerful bursts of selfdoubt: is he qualified to write a story about the camps? And is it okay to use humor to do so? And so Gagman spent many years stored away in boxes until 2018 when Dov became determined to finish what he had started. That’s when his Sydney-based daughter Joanne Fedler, an internationally bestselling author, stepped in to sort through those 17 drafts in order to help craft what is now a complete manuscript, 35 years later. Gagman is not a graphic novel but a novel with some illustrations that complement the story; they do not tell the story.

FictionFebruary 2015Triumph
Collected Stories
by Lizzie Harwood
Triumph: Collected Stories Lizzie Harwood with an Introduction by Jennifer Butler A bouquet of quirky short stories told with intrigue and humour… Triumph: Collected Stories offers a glimpse into the lives of contemporary women around the world on the verge of breakdowns or breakthroughs. Who doesn’t know a gone girl or a complicated woman? A mother, sister, friend, or even that girl who looks back at you in the mirror. Love or defriend them, we all know them. In this bouquet of short stories, you’ll meet a gang of gutsy gals, mothers-on-the-edge and anti-heroines, including Betty and Alabama, who feature in the forthcoming thriller/commercial fiction series Polaroids. Prose like Katherine Mansfield on vodka shots, by a writer who could be Lena Dunham’s weird Antipodean cousin or Gillian Flynn’s doppelganger. Lizzie Harwood’s love of her home country, New Zealand, spills over into her writing, as evidenced by the vibrant—and sometimes charmingly quirky—stories she tells. That isn’t to say she doesn’t adore her adopted country, France, where she currently resides with her husband and two children. She writes with a passion inspired by living and travelling around the world. Lizzie’s short story collection, Triumph, is out on February 23, 2015, followed by a memoir, Xamnesia: Everything I Forgot in my Search for an Unreal Life, in May 2015. Book one of her thriller/commercial fiction series, Polaroids is slated for release later in 2015. When she isn’t writing, she’s neck-deep in editing.

FictionJuly 2013Acts of Faith
A 'Cry Freedom' Story
by Clive Gilson
The European Renaissance never happened. The Ottomans were not stopped at the gates of Vienna. Ferdinand and Isabella failed in their attempt to defeat the Moors. Imagine a world turned upside down. Northern Europe is the basket case. The Middle East is the centre of the developed and "civilised" world.Acts is a reflective, personal journey, a moving story of loss, love and transition. It is about Marwan the boy and Marwan the man - and not so much the wider socio-political implications of the world he finds himself in, although these glimpses offer a thought-provoking dimension. The story is uplifting as Marwan's humanity shines through: the book itself is like a meditation on isolation, which links the reader with Marwan: to keep the focus on him keeps the reader's focus narrow - so there is a real empathy there. One loves Marwan as Marwan himself loves......and through Marwan's story we ask a simple question; how would we behave if we were dealt the same hand as the Lebanese in the 1980's or the Palestinians and Iraqi's now? Acts of Faith takes us on a journey of hope amid chaos and brutality in a world so very similar to the one that we feel so comfortable in, except that it might very well be we who are the extremists.
