Londinyia: a Capital in Crisis. Gripped by a species of perversion without parallel in the long, sordid annals of the Alpha Male. As the Decency Tax extends across all districts and zones, the Emancipation Party declares war on the deviant insurgency. Amid the vast armoury of weapons employed, the Proctallator, irSpex and the notorious Schnuffler, stand primed to unleash an avalanche of moral fury. Meanwhile, the Spectre of Deceit looms over the Party HQ, the Pyramex, rocked by dysfunctional mandroids, a Steering Committee mired in scandal and mutiny among the D-Squad ranks. Only Corporal Lillian Scarpello and her loyal beta-adjutant, Sir Lucien Picene, it seems, stand between Londinyia – and the Abyss. The explanation: The Second Penis is a satire on the City of London and its assumptions about behaviour, and supposed patterns of normality, taken to an absurd level. The author: (location unknown) lives in a shed in Myrddin’s Precinct where he communes with drunken spirits and entities, and launches vitriolic assaults against the Satanic Inertias of the Capital, soon to be revisited in The Gnat. A series of endless night-shifts in the Ancient City of London drives him to the terrifying conclusion that its entire existence is a Hoax – a bankrupt Government, media and economy imprisoned in a Tower of Babble. But can a man certified as insane – twice – complete his mission to rescue the intellectual heritage of his Nation? Who knows. For now, he sleeps amid the empty quarts and flasks, waiting to spring forth from his chrysalis...
The body of 22-year-old New York City socialite Patricia Burton Lonergan was found in her bedroom. Charged with her death was her husband of two years, Wayne Lonergan. Details Are Unprintable is a suspenseful account that builds from the moment the body was discovered in October 1943 to Lonergan’s conviction in April 1944. The case focused on the tantalizing rumor that Lonergan, a 26-year-old cadet and playboy, was a “homosexual,” who killed his wife in a fit of rage when she removed him from her will. Part fast-paced drama and part social history, this is a chronicle of Lonergan in denial living in an intolerant world, contrasted with the life of his entitled wife. What truly happened on that tragic night? Should we accept Lonergan’s confession as the jury did? Or was he a victim of physical and mental abuse by the state prosecutors and the police, as he maintained for the rest of his life?

From the 2016 August Prize for Non-Fiction winner comes a beguiling and in many ways exceptional nature memoir, an homage to the natural world around us. What begins with a renovation of Nina Burton’s summer cottage, swiftly turns into an exploration of nature, life and philosophy in the hands of the award-winning essayist. Within the walls, the ceiling and the floor of the cottage and its surrounding garden, we encounter a host of animals—ants, honey bees, foxes, squirrels, blackbirds, badgers, pigeons and deer—making her house their home, which prompted Nina to explore what is awe-inspiring and often delightfully surprising in each species. For instance, did you know that there are more ants altogether than the number of seconds that have passed since the Big Bang? And that in relation to their size, their anthill cities can be larger than London and New York? Or, that a bird’s migratory instinct is so strong that an injured stork once escaped captivity and was found six weeks later having walked 150 kilometres, following the migratory path of his flock on foot? This and many other remarkable musings are woven together with scientific exploration in the absolutely captivating THE SIX WALLS OF LIFE, in which Nina reveals the inner lives and hitherto unknown habits of the animals with which she shares her enchanted space. A clear heir to the Swedish tradition of nature writing first made famous by Kerstin Ekman, Nina Burton writes with boundless enthusiasm and an inspiring curiosity, while enlightening the reader about the greater natural world. She transports us into her chirping, buzzing, humming sanctuary, letting us in on the hidden secrets of the animals who have taken up residence on our doorsteps and in our hearts.
We are Figments of God's Imagination... A breath-taking and innovative novel about contemporary Iran and its revolution WHITE RED is a narrative of people whose destinies become intertwined in January 1980 in the chaotic post-revolutionary Tehran. The main character of the novel, who’s the juncture of all incidents, is a thirty-three-year-old Kyokushin practitioner who should fight fifteen battles for the black belt: an average clerk of the statistics office with his ordinary life, his loneliness after being abandoned by his fiancé for no reason, and his interest in literature leading him to write a few corny romantic books ignored by everyone, and with his chronic disease, has now put all his effort into the fight for earning the black belt which is all he’s got now. In each of these brief yet severe battles a particular clue directs the narration to a snowy day in 1980 Tehran. Every one of them opens the gate to bizarre happenings taking place in the context of actual historical events; happenings that both astonish and shock us. A mixture of reality and writer’s fantasy opens the door to the lives of people each disclosing a mysterious history: The secret life of Guita, an ambitious superstar in the pre-revolution cinema of Iran where her bold roles result in the anger of the extremists after the revolution; the fears and hardships of a Greek priest who’s in charge of returning the nuns to Europe after the revolution; an old Jew who intends to purify his blood even by going into a pool full of leeches; the internal battle of a religious old woman for adopting the bastard sons of two dead members of the Mujahedin; a poor balloon seller whose wishes are realized overnight due to people’s superstitious beliefs; and the last Iranian ambassador in Dublin who’s forced to hide the first Pahlavi king’s bones so that the revolutionaries won’t be able to lay a hand on them.
"Eye-catching": Top 10 Anticipated Art Books Publishers Weekly Garnering critical success over the past four years, Viennese artist Deborah Sengl has exhibited taxidermied rats, drawings and paintings to restage Karl Kraus’ infamous, nearly-unperformable play The Last Days of Mankind (Die Letzten Tage der Menschheit, 1915–22). Featuring Sengl’s entire installation, this edition includes essays that examine her ambitious dramaturgy, which condenses the 10-15 hour drama into an abridged reading of its themes: human barbarism, the role of journalism in war, the sway of popular opinion and the absurdities of nationalism. The Last Days of Mankind offers an agit-prop protest envisioning human folly through animal actors, who become more than human, while confronting a violence particular to humankind, laced with selfishness and greed. The work is a hundred years old, but for me it is still current. We may not have war in the immediate vicinity, but the war within us is as strong, if not stronger, as it was then.– Deborah Sengl
