Fatzvogel

Die DDR liegt in den letzten Zügen und für die eigenwillige Marie ist es schwer, ihren Platz zu finden. Als Hilfspflegerin in einer »geschlossenen Anstalt« bei Dresden, die halb Irrenanstalt, halb Pflegeheim ist, hat sie mit fundamentalen Christen, darunter eifrige IMs, und ausbruchswilligen Insassen zu tun. Daneben quält sie das Wissen über ihren Großvater, der unter Hitler ein Massenmörder war. So bleibt ihr oft nur die Flucht in die Dresdner Kulturszene. Doch dann erlebt sie in der Wendezeit,...

Margaret Cavendish

The Blazing World and Other Writings

First published in 1666, “The Blazing World”, is both one of the first novels written in English and one of the earliest works of science fiction. This utopian classic, by Margaret Cavendish, the Duchess of Newcastle, is also one of the earliest works by an English woman. Cavendish was an outspoken feminist, at a time when such ideas were virtually unheard of, and a pioneering advocate for a more modern view of gender roles and equality. “The Blazing World” is a surreal and experimental work...

Blue Marlin

Lee Smith

Blue Marlin

Lee Smith says that Blue Marlin is one of the best things she has ever written. She brought it to Blair because she felt the novella, originally tucked into her story collection News of the Spirit under the inauspicious title “Live Bottomless,” never got the attention it deserved. Indeed, this novella—though set miles away from the Appalachia that is Smith’s home ground—is this iconic writer at her very best: sharp characterizations, wry humor, perfect pitch, and a quietly profound understanding...

Atomik Aztex

Sesshu Foster

Atomik Aztex

In the alternate universe of this glitteringly surreal first novel, the Aztecs rule, having conquered the European invaders. Zenzontli, Keeper of the House of Darkness, is visited by visions of a parallel world run by the Europeans, where consumerism reigns supreme. Aztecs armed with automatic weapons, totemic powers and blood sacrifice conquer and colonize 1940s Europe, as ghosts of the world wars emerge to haunt contemporary Los Angeles. Atomik Aztex is a hilarious read. A potent...

Three Novels

Few works of contemporary literature are so universally acclaimed as central to our understanding of the human experience as Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett’s famous trilogy. Molloy , the first of these masterpieces, appeared in French in 1951. It was followed seven months later by Malone Dies and two years later by The Unnamable . All three have been rendered into English by the author.

It is above all a stinging indictment of the ill-fated war in Iraq and the heavy tolls it continues to exact on its people.”—Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner The world is Rita Khoury’s oyster. The bright and driven daughter of a Boston-area Irish-Arab family that has risen over the generations from poor immigrants to part of the coastal elite, Rita grows up in a...
