His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake. Kahlil Gibran died in 1931. HALEY TANNER Vaclav and Lena publication: 05/05/2011 price: 12.99 size: Demy Octavo pages: 304 ISBN: 9780434020430 A timeless love story set in New York’s Russian émigré community from a stunningly gifted young novelist Vaclav and Lena, the children of Russian émigrés, are best friends and at the same time from radically different worlds. While Vaclav’s burgeoning love of performing magic is indulged by hardworking parents pursuing the American dream, troubled orphan Lena is caught in a domestic situation no child should suffer through. Taken in as one of her own by Vaclav’s bighearted mother, Lena might finally be able to blossom; in the naive young magician’s eyes, she is destined to be his ‘faithful assistant’... but after a horrific discovery, the two are ripped from each other without even a goodbye. Years later, they meet again. But will their past once more conspire to keep them apart? Haley Tanner was born in 1982 in New York. She holds an MFA from The New School and a BA from Clark University. She lives in Brooklyn with her two dogs and her boyfriend. This is her first novel.
JOHN NIVEN The Second Coming publication: 21/04/2011 price: 12.99 size: Demy Octavo pages: 304 ISBN: 9780434019564 An outrageous, irreverent look at faith, religion, modern culture and what might happen to the Son of God if he ever came back to Earth... ‘GOD’S COMING – LOOK BUSY!’ God really is coming, and he is going to be pissed... Having left his son in charge, God treats himself to a week off at the beginning of the seventeenth century. He returns to find out that things on earth haven’t gone quite to plan... A word about celestial time. Eternity isn’t really eternal. It’s just very slow. A day in heaven is the equivalent of 57 earth years. When He took His week off it was 1609, the height of the Renaissance – King Lear was being performed on the London stage and Galileo was squinting through his prototype telescope. A good time to go fishing. When He returns it is 2011. It has not been an uneventful 400 years, thinks God, as he asks ‘Where is the little bastard?’ After God has ripped Jesus a new asshole he calls a meeting of the Saints: the earth has become a human toilet. Genocide; starvation; people obsessed with vacuous celebrity culture ‘and,’ God points out, ‘there are fucking Christians everywhere.’ God hates Christians. What’s to be done? Peter argues for flushing the whole thing down the toilet and starting again. God points out the time and effort He put into his creation. (‘Have you any idea what it was like to sit through the Bronze Age? The main form of entertainment WAS BRONZE!’). In the end there is only one solution. They’re sending the kid back. Cut to New York City, where JC is a struggling musician and petty criminal trying to help people as best as he can and gathering disciples along the way: a motley collection of basket cases, stoners and alcoholics. He finally realises his best chance to win hearts and minds may lie in a TV talent contest – American Pop Star! It’s the number one show in America, the unholy creation of an English record executive called Steven Stelfox... John Niven was born in Irvine, Ayrshire. He is the author of the novella Music from Big Pink and the novels Kill Your Friends and The Amateurs. He lives in Buckinghamshire. LUKE HAINES Post Everything publication: 05/05/2011 price: 12.99 size: Demy Octavo pages: 256 ISBN: 9780434020096 The sequel to 2009’s Bad Vibes, in which Luke Haines reveals what happened next... Luke Haines’ savage and hilarious Bad Vibes became a cult classic, the true story of that most idiotic and shameful of British diseases, ‘Britpop’. Now Haines returns to reveal what happened next, once the dust of the midnineties has settled. The Auteurs manage to limp on for a few years until their long-overdue demise, but out of the ashes comes a bold new group, Black Box Recorder, which will take over the world. Aggressive dwarfs are out, tiny annoying dogs are in. And there’s even time to appear on Top of the Pops, coordinate the First National Pop Strike, and have another stab at conquering America. Who misses the glamour of the old crowd when you have Bruce Lee, BIG and a frisky feline friend named Sam the Bad Cat to keep you company? Plus there’s still Bono (a moron), Chrissie Hynde (who calls you a nazi) and Philip from Rising Damp. Never mind that one of your songs is a reggae remix based on a sample of a seventies ditty called ‘Rape’. And sod it if the senescent music industry still doesn’t understand you. There’s always – always – musical theatre. Blisteringly funny and searingly scathing, Post Everything isn’t about what music, Britain and the Godfather of Britpop could have been at the dawn of the century – it’s about how they really turned out. Luke Haines learned guitar in the red light district of Portsmouth and subsequently formally studied music at the London College of Music. His band The Auteurs missed out on the 1992 Mercury Music Prize by one vote. His first memoir, Bad Vibes, was published in 2009. 25 Century Hutchinson Random House Books William Heinemann Preface Publishing Arrow and Young Arrow Guardian Books Windmill Books Audio
