Book Description
Henry Nash has hauled his way from a working class childhood in Bradford, through an undergraduate degree at Oxford, and into adulthood and an academic elite. But still, he can't escape his anger. As the world - and men in particular - continue to disappoint him, so does his rage grow in momentum until it becomes almost rapturous. And lethal. A savagely funny novel that disdains literary and moral conventions, All My Precious Madness is also a work of deep empathy even when that also means understanding the darkest parts of humanity. It is, as critic Stephen Mitchelmore says, the book for everyone who longs for 'an English Bernhard' - and to read one of the most electric debuts of the last decade.

Mary And The Rabbit Dream
Author: Noémi Kiss-Deáki
Publisher: Galley Beggar Press
ISBN: 1913111555
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Mary Toft was just another eighteenth century woman living in poverty, misery and frequent pain. Mary Toft was the kind of person overlooked by those with power, forgotten by historians. Mary Toft was nothing. Until, that is, Mary Toft started giving birth to rabbits... In Mary and the Rabbit Dream, the sensational debut novelist Noemi Kiss-Deaki reimagines Mary's strange and fascinating story - and how she found fame when a large swathe of England became convinced that she was the mother of rabbits. Mary and the Rabbit Dream is a story of bodily autonomy, of absurdity, of the horrors inflicted on women, of the cruel realities of poverty and the grotesque divides between rich and poor. It's a book that matters deeply - and it's also a compelling page-turner. A story told with exquisite wit, skill and a beautiful streak of subversive mischief.

Pages : 463
Book Description
Aurelia of Rasil'yon, a young elfin sorceress, is poised to discover herself and her world. She embarks upon an epic journey that will take her to many countries, through many bodies and forms, and to dealings with many gods and goddesses, of foreign peoples for whom she once had naught but enmity. This odyssey shall not end until she herself ends--coming to the precipice of goddesshood, and to the end of her mortality. She must confront her elfin racism, the haughty curse of her people, and make common cause with orcs and dwarves and gnomes and humans of various nations. Only then is she able to catch a glimpse of the Codex--that tome of truth, inscrutable, that her Uncle Aurel died attempting to recover. Along the way, she meets and touches many beautiful souls, fights many more evil ones, and begins to learn the measure of her destiny. Will she learn the beauty of revolt and liberation, and win her fight against tyranny? Or will she succumb to the force of Madness in the cosmos, and become a God?
