Jonasson, Jonas: The Accidental Further Adventures
Of The Hundred-Year-Old Man. Der Hundertjährige, der
zurückkam, um die Welt zu retten.
It all begins with a hot air balloon trip and three bottles
of champagne. Allan and Julius are ready for some
spectacular views, but they’re not expecting to land in the
sea and be rescued by a North Korean ship, and they could
never have imagined that the captain of the ship would
be harbouring a suitcase full of contraband uranium, on a
nuclear weapons mission for Kim Jong-un …

Jones, Lloyd: The Cage.
Two mysterious strangers appear at a hotel in a small
country town. Who are they? What catastrophe are they
fleeing? The townspeople want answers, and before long,
wary hospitality shifts to suspicion and fear, to appalling
cruelty. Lloyd Jones‘s fable-like novel The Cage is a
profound and unsettling novel about humanity and dignity
and the ease with which we‘re able to justify brutality.

Kobek, Jarett: The Future Won‘t Be Long.
It‘s the tail-end of 1986 and we follow Baby and Adeline
as they cling to each other for dear life through a decade
of mad, bad New York life punctuated by the deaths of
Warhol, Basquiat and Wojnarowicz and the gentrification
of the East Village. Riotously funny, provocative but
tender, this is a sprawling, ecstatic elegy to NY, and to the
friendships that have the power to change our lives.

Kumar, Amitava: Immigrant, Montana.
This is story of AK, an Indian academic working in America.
It is a love story, or rather the story of what a man can fall
in love with: in AK‘s case, literature, radical politics, and,
women. This is a reinvention of what used to be called the
‚campus novel‘ and an exploration of postcolonial identity.
An explosive, genre-defying reinvention of the ‚immigrant‘
novel from Amitava Kumar.

Lambert, Charles: Prodigal.
Prodigal is a novel of darkly polished prose, human wit,
acute psychological insights, shot throughout with threads
of black humour. In tackling the complexities of familial
love, Lambert has written a novel reminiscent of Edward
St Aubyn or Alan Hollinghurst, and the result is raw,
provocative and deeply moving.
