Robert Dessaix Abracadabra
Of this collection of Robert Dessaix’s writings on literature and life, reviewer Ann Skea writes: ‘[Dessaix] loves the Russian language and literature, enjoys the panache and subtlety of the French and their language, and is erudite, intelligent, witty, provocative, opinionated and fun to listen to (since he regards these writings as “conversation”), even when you disagree with him. He is also in inveterate gossip … [and] good company.’

Ottessa Moshfegh Lapvona
The new novel from the author of My Year of Rest and Relaxation and Death in Her Hands. In a village in a medieval fiefdom buffeted by natural disasters, a motherless shepherd boy finds himself the unlikely pivot of a power struggle that puts all manner of faith to a savage test. By year’s end, the veil between blindness and sight, life and death, the natural world and the spirit world will prove to be very thin indeed.
