“An extraordinary book. This dignified, just and unbearable account
of the dark heart of Sri Lanka needs to be read by everyone.”
— Roma Tearne, author of Mosquito

Laura Repas Publicity Director
The tropical island of Sri Lanka is a paradise for tourists, but in 2009 it
became a hell for its Tamil minority, as decades of civil war between the Tamil Tiger
guerrillas and the government reached its bloody climax. Caught in the crossfire
were hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren, doctors, farmers, fishermen, nuns,
and other civilians. And the government ensured through a strict media blackout
that the world was unaware of their suffering.
Now, a UN enquiry has called for war crimes investigation, and Frances
Harrison, a BBC correspondent for Sri Lanka during the conflict, recounts those
crimes for the first time in sobering, shattering detail.
About the Contributor
Frances Harrison was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, as well as the
School of Oriental and African Studies, and Imperial College in London. For many
years she worked as a foreign correspondent for the BBC posted in South Asia,
South East Asia, and Iran. From 2000–4 she was the resident BBC Correspondent
in Sri Lanka. She has worked at Amnesty International as Head of News and while
writing Still Counting the Dead was a visiting research fellow at Oxford University.

Globe and Mail columnist Sandra Martin honours the lives of Canada’s
famous, infamous, and unsung heroes in this unique collection of obituaries of
the first decade of the twenty-first century. Here are Canadian icons such as
Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, social
activist June Callwood, and urban theorist Jane Jacobs. Here are builders
such as feminist and editor Doris Anderson, and businessman and famed art
collector Ken Thomson. Here are our rogues, rascals, and romantics; our
service men and women; and here are those private citizens whose lives have
had an undeniable public impact. Finally, Martin interweaves these elegant
and eloquent biographies with the autobiography of the obit writer, offering an
exclusive and intimate view of life on the dead beat.
Beautifully written, compelling, and vivid, Working the Dead Beat is a tribute
to those individuals who, each on their own and as a collective, tell the story

From the bestselling author of McMafia and DarkMarket comes this unique
and lively history of Balkan geopolitics since the early nineteenth century
which gives readers the essential historical background to more than one
hundred years of events in this war-torn area. No other book covers the entire
region, or offers such profound insights into the roots of Balkan violence, or
explains so vividly the origins of modern Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Greece,
Bulgaria, Romania, and Albania. Now updated to include the fall of Slobodan
Milosevic, the capture of all indicted war criminals from the Yugoslav wars and
each state’s quest for legitimacy in the European Union, The Balkans
explores the often catastrophic relationship between the Balkans and the
Great Powers, raising some disturbing questions about Western intervention.

The Universe Within
September 29, 2012
From Quantum to Cosmos
By Neil Turok
The most anticipated nonfiction book of the season, this year’s Massey
Lectures is a visionary look at the way the human mind can shape the
future by world-renowned physicist Neil Turok.
Every technology we rely on today was created by the human mind, seeking
to understand the universe around us. Scientific knowledge is our most
precious possession, and our future will be shaped by the breakthroughs to
come.
• SCIENCE / Philosophy & Social Aspects
• 978-1-77089-015-2
• $19.95
• Trade paperback
In this personal, visionary, and fascinating work, Neil Turok, Director of
Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, explores transformative
discoveries — from the nature of light, to the evolution of the cosmos, to the
bizarre world of the quantum, and the emerging ideas which may yield
tomorrow’s technologies. He explains how we can accelerate the pace of
discovery by creatively re-inventing the way advanced knowledge is developed
and shared, and by opening access to the vast untapped pools of intellectual
talent in the developing world.
Drawing from his personal experience, from confronting injustice in apartheid
South Africa to becoming a renowned international scientist and educator,
Turok explains why scientific research, training, and outreach are vital to our
future economy as well as powerful forces for peaceful global progress.

In the sweep of human history, the European Union stands out as one of
humankind’s most ambitious endeavors. It encompasses half a billion people,
twenty-seven member states, twenty-three languages, and an economy
valued at over $15 trillion. Modern Europe’s stunning achievements aside, its
sovereign debt crisis has shaken the world’s largest political and economic
union to its core. Can the federal institutions and shared values of Europeans
meet the challenges of debt crisis that are as much political as economic?
Or, are Europe’s current woes indicative of a series of deep structural faults
that will doom the European Union to breakup and failure?
In this edition of the Munk Debates — Canada’s premier international debate
series — former EU commissioner Lord Peter Mandelson and EU parliament
leader of the Greens Daniel Cohn-Bendit argue against the motion and
bestselling author Josef Joffe and renowned historian Niall Ferguson argue for
the motion as they debate one of the most pressing issues of our day: has
the great European experiment failed?
This electrifying debate featuring some of Europe’s most outspoken
parliamentary figures and academics is guaranteed to be an unforgettable and
riveting verbal sparring match on the question that will determine the future of
world’s economy.

vacation — which turns out to be a "staycation" at his basement apartment in
Kingston. While the twenty-eight-year-old writer is at the beginning of his adult

escorting his grandma to local attractions and restaurants, the two exchange
memories and she begins to reveal details of her inspiring life story.
Told with subtlety, humour, and heart, this delightful comic memoir reflects on
family connections; how we experience adversity, the passage of time, and
aging; and most importantly what it truly means to feel lucky.

The Withdrawal
Method
Pasha Malla
It’s the Silver Jubilee of People Park, an urban experiment conceived by a
radical mayor and zealously policed by the testosterone-powered New
Fraternal League of Men. To celebrate, the insular island city has engaged the
illustrationist Raven, who promises to deliver the most astonishing spectacle
its residents have ever seen. As the entire island comes together for the
event, we meet an unforgettable cross-section of its inhabitants, from activists
to nihilists, art stars to athletes, families to inveterate loners. Soon, however,
what has promised to be a triumph of civic harmony begins to reveal its
shadow side. And when Raven’s illustration exceeds even the most extreme
of expectations, the island is plunged into a series of unnatural disasters that
force people to confront what they are really made of.
People Park is a tour de force of eerily prescient, grotesque, and hilarious
observation and a narrative of gripping, unrelenting suspense. Malla writes as
if the twin demons of Stephen King and Flannery O’Connor were resting on
his shoulders. You’ve never read anything quite like People Park.
Pasha Malla’s first collection of short stories, The Withdrawal Method, a
Globe and Mail and National Post book of the year, won the Danuta Gleed
Literary Award and the Trillum Book Award, and was shortlisted for the
Commonwealth Prize (Best First Book, Canada & Caribbean) and longlisted
for the Giller Prize. A frequent contributor to The Walrus, the Globe and Mail,
and CBC radio, he is also the winner of an Arthur Ellis Award for crime fiction,
two National Magazine Awards for humour writing, and has twice had stories

By Rawi Hage
"A major literary talent." — IMPAC Dublin Literary Award Jury Citation
There are two types of taxi drivers in the Carnival city — the spiders and the
flies. The spiders sit and stew in their cars, waiting for the calls to come to

raised flags of hands.

De Niro's Game
Rawi Hage
Fly is a wanderer. Raised in the circus, the son of a golden-haired trapeze
artist and a flying-carpet man from the East, he was born to wander, to watch,
and to know. From the seat of his taxi we see the world in all of its
carnivalesque beauty and ugliness. We meet criminals, prostitutes, madmen,
magicians, and clowns of many kinds. We meet ordinary people going to
extraordinary places, and revolutionaries just trying to find something to eat.
Hunger and injustice claw at the city, and books provide the only true shelter.
And when the Carnival starts, all limits dissolve, and a gunshot goes off...
With all of the beauty, truth, rage, and peripatetic storytelling that have made
Cockroach and De Niro’s Game international publishing sensations, Carnival
gives us Rawi Hage at his searing best. Alternately laughing at absurdity and
crying out at oppression, this is a book with the revolutionary power of Camus’ The Stranger and the storytelling prowess of Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger.
By turns outrageous, hilarious, sorrowful, and stirring, Carnival is a tour de
force that will make all of life’s passengers squirm in their comfortable,
complacent backseats.
Rawi Hage was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and lived through nine years of the
Lebanese civil war. His debut novel, De Niro's Game, won the IMPAC Dublin
Literary Award, was a finalist for numerous prestigious national and
international awards, including the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Governor
General's Literary Award, and has been translated into several languages and

Pigeon English
Stephen Kelman
Helen, alias "Joe," would rather be a boy and have all kinds of adventures like
Lady Oscar, her favourite cartoon heroine. She daydreams about living in
another time and achieving great things, but she must be content delivering
newspapers and working at the bingo hall. After all, she is only eight years
old, even though she claims to be ten.
When Roger, an old man who drinks like a fish, swears like a sailor, and
dreams about dying, moves into the working-class neighbourhood where
Helen lives with her family, the two make uneasy acquaintances. But, after a
series of scary and disturbing events, an unlikely friendship develops — one
that changes them both forever.
This stunning debut novel in the spirit of Miriam Toews’ The Flying Troutmans
and Stephen Kelman’s Pigeon English won Quebec’s Prix Archambault and
won Radio-Canada’s Battle of the Books (Canada Reads) competition in its
original French. Mister Roger and Me perfectly captures the irony, innocence,
heartbreak, and humour of childhood.
Marie-Renée Lavoie was born in 1974 in the Limoilou near Quebec City. She holds an MA in literature from Laval University. La petite et le vieux, her debut
novel, was published in Quebec in 2010 and won Radio-Canada's "Battle of

Bone and Bread
By Saleema Nawaz
A heady, powerfully emotional novel that is part family saga, part love
story, and part mystery.
Beena and Sadhana are sisters who share a bond that could only have been
shaped by the most unusual of childhoods — and by shared tragedy.
Orphaned as teenagers, they have grown up under the exasperated watch of
their Sikh uncle, who runs a bagel shop in Montreal’s Hasidic community of
Mile End. Together, they try to make sense of the rich, confusing brew of
values, rituals, and beliefs that form their inheritance. Yet as they grow
towards adulthood, their paths begin to diverge. Beena catches the attention
of one of the "bagel boys" and finds herself pregnant at sixteen, while
Sadhana drives herself to perfectionism and anorexia.
• 978-1-77089-009-1

When we first meet the adult Beena, she is grappling with a fresh grief:
Sadhana has died suddenly and strangely, her body lying undiscovered for a
week before anyone realizes what has happened. Beena is left with a burden
of guilt and an unsettled feeling about the circumstances of her sister’s death,
which she sets about to uncover. Her search stirs memories and opens
wounds, threatening to undo the safe, orderly existence she has painstakingly
created for herself and her son.
Heralded across Canada for the power and promise of her debut collection,
Mother Superior, Nawaz proves with Bone and Bread that she is one of our
most talented and unique storytellers.

be the murderer. A novice air-traffic specialist must come to terms with his
first loss — the death of a pilot — on his watch. And the dangers of deep
canyons and powerful currents spur on the reckless behaviour of teenagers as

Brunswick, and a subtle, complex exploration of the relationship
between place, language, and culture.
For Sure is among other things a labyrinth, a maze, an exploration of the folly
of numbers, a repository, a defense and an illustration of the Chiac language.
Written in dazzling prose — which is occasionally interrupted by surprising bits
of information, biography, and definitions that appear on the page — Daigle
perfectly captures the essence of a place and offers us a reflection on
minority cultures and their obsession with language.

It is also the continuing story of Terry and Carmen, familiar to us from previous
works, their children Etienne and Marianne, and all those who gravitate around
the Babar, the local bar in Moncton — the Zablonskis, Zed, Pomme — artists
and ordinary people who question their place in the world from a distinct point
of view that is informed by their geography, and by their history, politics, and
culture.
Masterfully translated from French by award-winning translator Robert
Majzels, For Sure is the moving story of a family and a surprising,
staggeringly original work that represents a corner of our country.

We are obsessed with time. However hard we might try, it is almost
impossible to spend even one day without the marker of a clock. But how
much do we understand about time, and is it possible to retrain our brains and
improve our relationship with it?
Drawing on the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience,
and biology, and using original research on the way memory shapes our
understanding of time, acclaimed writer and broadcaster Claudia Hammond
delves into the mysteries of time perception. Along the way, she introduces
us to an extraordinary array of colourful characters willing to go to great
lengths in the interests of research, such as the French speleologist Michel,
who spends two months in an ice cave in complete darkness.
Time Warped shows us how to manage our time more efficiently, speed time
up and slow it down at will, plan for the future with more accuracy, and,
ultimately, use the warping of time to our own advantage.

The Blue Book
By A.L. Kennedy
Orange Prize for Fiction 2012, Long-listed
"A masterful novel, imaginatively crafted, shaped by big, precisely
articulated emotion." — The Times
Elizabeth Barber is crossing the Atlantic by liner with her perfectly adequate
boyfriend, Derek, who might be planning to propose. In fleeing the UK —
temporarily — Elizabeth may also be in flight from her past and the
charismatic Arthur, once her partner in what she came to see as a series of
crimes. Together they acted as fake mediums, perfecting the arcane skills
practiced by effective frauds.

Day
A.L. Kennedy
Elizabeth finally rejected what once seemed an intoxicating game. Arthur
continued his search for the right way to do wrong. He now subsidizes free
closure for the traumatized and dispossessed by preying on the super-rich.
The pair still meet occasionally, for weekends of sexual oblivion, but their
affection lacerates as much as it consoles.
Elizabeth hadn’t, however, expected the other man on the boat. As her
voyage progresses, Elizabeth’s past is revealed, and codes slowly form and
break as communication deepens. It’s time for her to discover who are the
true deceivers and who are the truly deceived.
But is the book itself — a fiction which may not always be lying — deceiving the
reader? Offering illusions and false trails, magical numbers and redemptive
humour, this is a novel about what happens when we are misled and when we
are true: an extraordinarily intricate and intimate journey into our minds and
hearts undertaken by a writer of great gifts — a maker of wonders.
The author of five previous novels, two books of non-fiction, and five collections
of short stories, A. L. Kennedy's last novel, Day, was the 2007 Costa Book of
the Year. She has twice been selected as one of Granta's Best of Young

Doppler
By Erlend Loe
Translated by Don Bartlett
Translated by Don Shaw
A bestseller in Scandinavia — Doppler is the enchanting, subversive, and
very unusual story about one man and his moose.
This beguiling modern fable tells the story of a man who, after the death of his
father, abandons his home, his family, his career, and the trappings of
civilization for a makeshift tent in the woods where he adopts a moose-calf
named Bongo. Or is it Bongo who adopts him? Together they devote
themselves, with some surprising results, to the art of carefree living.
Hilarious, touching, and poignant in equal measure — you will read it with tearstained cheeks and sore sides — Doppler is also a deeply subversive novel
and a strong criticism of modern consumer culture.

LAUNCHED TO mARK OUR FORTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY,

by a notable writer. We can think of no better way to celebrate fortyfive years of great publishing than by bringing these books back into the
spotlight. We hope you’ll agree.

By Edward Riche
" . . . hilarious . . .laugh-out-loud funny . . . " — Maclean’s
Shortlisted for the BMO Winterset Award
From award-winning author Edward Riche comes a savagely funny satire
about "C"-list screenwriter and wannabe vintner Elliot Johnson. Disillusioned
by his floundering Los Angeles existence — his writing career is at a low, his
struggling vineyard is being investigated by the Feds, and his son, a former
child star, is in prison — Elliot does what any self-respecting wino would do:
escape to France.

But fate has other things in store. Stranded in Canada by an expired
passport, he is encouraged to remain there due to his bit part in a growing
Hollywood scandal. Deciding that Toronto may just be the perfect city in
which to lay low, Elliot kills time by bluffing his way to the top of the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation.
From the deranged flakiness of Los Angeles cults to the bureaucratic rituals
of Canadian culturecrats, Easy to Like is a brilliant satire about making and
breaking public taste from one of our most exciting, unapologetic literary
talents.
Edward Riche is an award-winning author, screenwriter, and playwright. His
previous novels include Rare Birds, which was adapted into a major motion

Misha Glenny
" . . . an engrossing yarn . . . 'DUN0DUNHWoffers an eminently readable,
witty narrative that sustains suspense until the very last pages." — Wall
Street Journal
Do you think your computer is secure? Don’t be so confident, says Misha
Glenny, acclaimed journalist and author of the international bestseller
McMafia. His explosive new book DarkMarket explores the rise of hackers
and how — through cyber crime, cyber warfare, and cyber industrial
espionage — they have supplanted traditional crime syndicates to become the
new global mafia.
Governments and the private sector are losing billions of dollars each year,
fighting an ever-morphing, often invisible, and highly intelligent new breed of
criminal: the hacker. By investigating the rise and fall of the criminal website
DarkMarket, Glenny has uncovered the most vivid, alarming, and illuminating
stories. He takes us from Google headquarters in California to Turkey’s
National Intelligence Ageny in Istanbul to the Internet cafes of Odessa,
Ukraine, to introduce us to and explain all the players in this clandestine
world — the criminals, the geeks, the police, the security experts, and the
victims — and he places everyone and everything in a rich brew of politics,
economics and history.
Painstakingly researched and completely engrossing, DarkMarket takes us
on a journey around the globe to unravel the biggest threats facing the twentyfirst century. This is a must read for anyone who wants to learn about what is
happening online and how to protect themselves.
Misha Glenny is the international bestselling author of McMafia: A Journey
Through the Global Criminal Underworld; The Rebirth of History; The Fall of
Yugoslavia (winner of the Overseas Press Club Award for Best Book on

The hulking Gordon Rankin has spent his life cast as an enforcer, a goon —
by his classmates, his coaches, and especially his own father, Gordon
Senior, an unfortunate victim of small man syndrome. Rank duly accepts his
role and spends the majority of his high school and university years
implementing the violent commands of others. Until one day tragedy strikes,
with only Rank to blame. With nobody to turn to, he disappears.
But almost twenty years later Rank discovers that an old, trusted friend — the
only person to whom he has ever confessed his sins — has published a novel
mirroring Rank’s life. The betrayal cuts to the deepest core of him, and forces
Rank to confront the tragic true story from which he’s spent his whole life
running. A diatribe, a prayer, an ode to what it means to be a man, Rank’s
painful, suspenseful, and often hilarious journey grabs us by the throat and
the heart and never lets us go. This is Rank’s turn to finally set the record
straight.
Lynn Coady is an award-winning author, editor, and journalist. Her previous

The O’Briens follows the family from The Law of Dreams two generations
later: Joe O’Brien is coming of age in a new century in remote Pontiac
County, Quebec, with his two brothers and two sisters by his side. Their
father has abandoned the family and died in the South African war; their frail
mother has remarried the abusive and lecherous Mick Heaney. Joe and his
siblings escape the poverty and violence of the Pontiac, but as Joe travels the
continent, building a business and a bright young family with his wife, Iseult,
he is never quite able to leave his past behind.
Told from the perspectives of Joe, Iseult, and their children and spanning the
construction of the Canadian railroad as well as both world wars, this is a
majestic novel that mirrors the scope and sweep of what Wilfrid Laurier calls
"Canada’s Century." Tragic, romantic, and as vivid as the novel that preceded
it, The O’Briens is an epic of great heart, imagination, and narrative force.
Peter Behrens is the author of the Governor General's Literary Award-winning

Ticknor
Sheila Heti
From the internationally acclaimed author of The Middle Stories and Ticknor
comes a bold interrogation into the possibility of a beautiful life. How Should a
Person Be? is a novel of many identities: an autobiography of the mind, a
postmodern self-help book, and a fictionalized portrait of the artist as a young
woman — of two such artists, in fact.
For reasons multiple and mysterious, Sheila finds herself in a quandary of
self-doubt, questioning how a person should be in the world. Inspired by her
friend Margaux, a painter, and her seemingly untortured ability to live and
create, Sheila casts Margaux as material, embarking on a series of
recordings in which nothing is too personal, too ugly, or too banal to be turned
into art. Along the way, Sheila confronts a cast of painters who are equally
blocked in an age in which the blow job is the ultimate art form. She begins
questioning her desire to be Important, her quest to be both a leader and a
pupil, and her unwillingness to sacrifice herself.
Searching, uncompromising and yet mordantly funny, How Should a Person
Be? is a brilliant portrait of art-making and friendship from the psychic
underground of Canada’s most fiercely original writer. This paperback edition
features new and expanded content.
Sheila Heti is the acclaimed author of the novel How Should a Person Be?,
the story collection The Middle Stories, which was published in Germany,
France, The Netherlands, the United States, and Spain, and the novel
Ticknor, which was a finalist for the Trillium Book Award. Her writing has
appeared in various literary anthologies and in several US and Canadian
publications, including New York Times Magazine, Esquire, the Globe and
Mail, the Toronto Star, and Brick. Heti is also the creator of the popular
Toronto and New York-based lecture series, Trampoline Hall. She studied
playwriting at the National Theatre School in Montreal, and philosophy and art
history at the University of Toronto. Sheila Heti lives in Toronto.

The Emperor of Lies
August 18, 2012
By Steve Sem-Sandberg
Translated by Sarah Death
Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2012, Long-listed
Longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize
In February 1940, the Nazis established what would become the secondlargest Jewish ghetto in the Polish city of Lódz. Its chosen leader: Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, a sixty-three-year-old Jewish businessman and
orphanage director — and the elusive, authoritarian power sustaining the
ghetto’s very existence. • FICTION / Literary

From one of Sweden’s most critically acclaimed and bestselling authors, The
Emperor of Lies chronicles the tale of Rumkowski’s monarchical rule over a
quarter-million Jews for the next four years. Driven by a titanic ambition, he
sought to transform the ghetto into a productive industrial complex and strove
to make it — and himself — indispensable to the Nazi regime. Drawing on the
detailed records of life in the Lódz ghetto, Steve Sem-Sandberg captures the
full panorama of human resilience and probes deeply into the nature of evil. He
asks the most difficult questions: Was Rumkowski a ruthless opportunist, an
accessory to the Nazi regime driven by a lust for power? Or was he a
pragmatic strategist who managed to save Jewish lives through his
collaboration policies?
Winner of the August Prize, Sweden’s most important literary award, The
Emperor of Lies is a haunting, profoundly challenging novel.

To the Island
By Meaghan Delahunt
He disappeared. That's all she really knew.
In search of her father Andreas, whom she has never met, Lena travels with
her small son from Australia to Greece. On the island of Naxos she finds him,
a wary, tormented man living in self-imposed exile and haunted by what
happened to him under the rule of the Colonels in the 1960s. Slowly Lena
unlocks the secrets of her father's past, and in getting to know him begins to
understand the dark realities of contemporary Greek history.

To the Island is a book about the impact of larger political events on the lives
of ordinary people, and how political and personal betrayals reverberate
across generations, beautifully evoking the currents and cross-currents
between individuals, within families and in broader society. And in Lena and
Andreas's stories, it shows how difficult it is to confront our personal and
collective pasts — and the terrible consequences of being unable to do so.

Gioconda
By Lucille Turner
A solitary child, Leonardo's only intimate is Lisa Gherardini, the girl who spies
on him in his workshop. Spurned by his tutor, he is sent by his despairing
father to Florence as an apprentice. Under the guiding hand of Verrocchio, the
master sculptor, he begins to make his name. But success requires sacrifice;
Florence demands a level of conformity impossible for him. Forced to leave,
Leonardo places himself at the service of the charismatic, power-thirsty Duke
of Milan. His journey leads him back to Lisa and the portrait he has waited so
long to paint, the culmination of his life's work.
From the glittering court of the Medici to the mortuaries of Milan and the
battlefields of the Po valley, Lucille Turner's powerful novel vividly imagines
Leonardo's lonely struggle to convince others of his vision of the world.

Leaving the Atocha
Station
September 1, 2012
By Ben Lerner
Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American poet on a
prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self and
his attitude towards art. Fuelled by strong coffee and self-prescribed
tranquillizers, Adam's 'research' soon becomes a meditation on the possibility
of authenticity, as he finds himself increasingly troubled by the uncrossable
distance between himself and the world around him. It's not just his imperfect
grasp of Spanish, but the underlying suspicion that his relationships, his
reactions, and his entire personality are just as fraudulent as his poetry.
In prose that veers between the comic and tragic, the self-contemptuous and
the inspired, Leaving the Atocha Station is a dazzling introduction to one of
the smartest, funniest and most audacious writers of his generation.

Make Believe
A True Story
By Diana Athill
In Make Believe, Diana Athill, acclaimed author of Instead of a Letter and
Stet, remembers her turbulent friendship with Hakim Jamal, a young black
convert to the teachings of Malcolm X, whom she met in London in the late
1960s.
Despite a desperately troubled youth, he became an eloquent spokesman for
the black underclass, was Jean Seberg's lover and published a book about
Malcolm X, before descending into a mania that had him believing he was
God. A witness to his struggles, Diana Athill writes with her characteristic
honesty about her entanglement with Jamal, Jamal's relationship with the
daughter of a British MP, Gail Benson, and Jamal's, and separately Gail's,
eventual murders.

After A Funeral
October 1, 2012
By Diana Athill
This is the story of how and why a talented writer came to kill himself.
When Diana Athill met the man she calls Didi, an Egyptian in exile, she fell in
love instantly and out of love just as fast. Didi moved into her flat, they shared
housework and holidays, and a life of easy intimacy seemed to beckon.
But Didi's sweetness and intelligence soon revealed a darker side — he was a
gambler, a drinker and a womanizer, impossible to live with but impossible to
ignore. With painful honesty, Athill explores the three years they spent
together, a period that culminated in Didi's suicide — in her home — an event
he described in the journals he left for her to read as 'the one authentic act of
my life'.

All Made Up
By Janice Galloway
In the second volume of her memoirs, the prize-winning author Janice
Galloway reveals how the child introduced in This is Not About Me evolved
through her teenage years.
When she started secondary school, Galloway was still sharing a bed with
her mother and was more excited by Latin and school orchestra than by
boys. But as she struggled with the physical and emotional changes of
adolescence, almost everything she thought she knew began to change.
Combining visceral descriptions of puberty, sex and school-room politics with
the story of a family's secrets, Galloway casts her gaze on the morals and
ambitions of one small town, in writing that is personal, defiant and eloquent.

Are you still the person who lived fifteen, ten or five years ago? Fifteen, ten or
five minutes ago? Can you plan for your retirement if the you of thirty years
hence is in some sense a different person? What and who is the real you?
Does it remain constant over time and place, or is it something much more
fragmented and fluid? Is it known to you, or are you as much a mystery to
yourself as others are to you? With his usual wit, infectious curiosity and
bracing scepticism, Julian Baggini sets out to answer these fundamental and
unsettling questions. His fascinating quest draws on the history of philosophy,
but also anthropology, sociology, psychology and neurology; he talks to
theologians, priests, allegedly reincarnated Lamas, and delves into real-life
cases of lost memory, personality disorders and personal transformation; and,
candidly and engagingly, he describes his own experiences. After reading The

Gossip from the Forest
November 1, 2012
A Search for the Hidden Roots of Our Fairytales
By Sara Maitland
Fairytales are one of our earliest and most vital cultural forms, and forests one
of our most ancient and primal landscapes. Both evoke a similar sensation in
us — we find them beautiful and magical, but also spooky, sometimes
horrifying.

• 978-1-84708-429-3
• $29.95
• Paperback
• 6.14" x 9.2"
• 256 pages
In this fascinating book, Maitland argues that the two forms are intimately
connected: the mysterious secrets and silences, gifts and perils of the forests
were both the background and the source of fairytales. Yet both forests and
fairy stories are at risk and their loss deprives us of our cultural lifeblood.
Maitland visits forests through the seasons, from the exquisite green of a
beechwood in spring, to the muffled stillness of a snowy pine wood in winter.
She camps with her son Adam, whose beautiful photographs are included in
the book; she takes a barefoot walk through Epping Forest with Robert
Macfarlane; she walks with a mushroom expert through an oak wood, and
with a miner through the Forest of Dean. Maitland ends each chapter with a
unique, imaginitive re-telling of a fairystory.
Written with Sara's wonderful clarity and conversational grace, Gossip from
the Forest is a magical and unique blend of nature writing, history and
imaginative fiction.
Sara Maitland is the author of numerous works of fiction, including the
Somerset Maugham Award-wining Daughters of Jerusalem, and several
nonfiction books about religion. Born in 1950, she studied at Oxford University
and currently tutors on the Distance Learning MA in creative writing for

allowed to lie dormant: the residual feelings for his ex-wife; a baffling new
attraction to a stranger; a precarious friendship with a retired policeman; and,
above all, unsettling questions about his own past and the family he never

Illegal, inhuman, and impervious to recession, there is one trade that
continues to thrive, just out of sight. The international sex trade criss-crosses
the entire globe, a sinister network made up of criminal masterminds, local
handlers, corrupt policemen, wilfully blind politicians, eager consumers, and
countless hapless women and children. In this ground-breaking work of
investigative reporting, the celebrated journalist Lydia Cacho follows the trail of
the traffickers and their victims from Mexico to Turkey, Thailand to Iraq,
Georgia to the UK, to expose the trade's hidden links with the tourist industry,
internet pornography, drugs and arms smuggling, the selling of body organs,
money laundering, and even terrorism. This is an underground economy in
which a sex slave can be bought for the price of a gun, but Cacho's powerful
first-person interviews with mafiosi, pimps, prostitutes, and those who
managed to escape from captivity makes it impossible to ignore the terrible
human cost of this lucrative exchange. Shocking and sobering, Slavery Inc, is
an exceptional book, both for the colossal scope of its enquiry, and for the
tenacious bravery with which Cacho pursues the truth.
Lydia Cacho is an internationally admired Mexican journalist-campaigner. She
became a cause celèbre with her book, Demons of Eden, which exposed a
paedophilia ring involving Mexico's richest businessman, his friend the
governor and an array of 'big men'. She took the ring to trial but was jailed and
abused herself before winning her argument and her freedom. She is a
columnist on El Universal, a prominent feminist activist against violence, and
teaches workshops on how to help trafficking victims. She has been named
UNESCO World Press Freedom Hero and in 2010 received the PEN
International Writer of Courage Prize. http://www.lydiacacho.net/english/

A Secret History of Torture
By Ian Cobain
The official line is clear: the UK does not 'participate in, solicit, encourage or
condone' torture. And yet, the evidence is irrefutable: when it comes to
dealing with potential threats to our national security, the gloves always come
off. As the enquiries into the on-going abuse of terror suspects uncover an
ever more sinister and unpalatable chain of complicity — going right to the top
of government — it is time to re-examine the assumption that the British don't
'do' torture. Drawing on previously unseen official documents, and the
accounts of witnesses, victims and experts, prize-winning investigative
journalist Ian Cobain looks beyond the cover-ups and the attempts to dismiss
brutality as the work of a few rogue interrogators, to reveal a secret and

shocking record of torture. From WWII to the War on Terror, via Kenya and
Northern Ireland, Cruel Britannia shows how the British have repeatedly and
systematically resorted to torture, turning a blind eye where necessary,
bending the law where they can, and issuing categorical denials all the while.
What emerges is a picture of Britain that challenges our complacency on
human rights and exposes the lie behind our reputation for fair play.

“An extraordinary book. This dignified, just and unbearable account
of the dark heart of Sri Lanka needs to be read by everyone.”
— Roma Tearne, author of Mosquito
Erin Mallory Manager, Cross-Media Group

Laura Repas Publicity Director
The tropical island of Sri Lanka is a paradise for tourists, but in 2009 it
became a hell for its Tamil minority, as decades of civil war between the Tamil Tiger
guerrillas and the government reached its bloody climax. Caught in the crossfire
were hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren, doctors, farmers, fishermen, nuns,
and other civilians. And the government ensured through a strict media blackout
that the world was unaware of their suffering.
Now, a UN enquiry has called for war crimes investigation, and Frances
Harrison, a BBC correspondent for Sri Lanka during the conflict, recounts those
crimes for the first time in sobering, shattering detail.
About the Contributor
Frances Harrison was educated at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, as well as the
School of Oriental and African Studies, and Imperial College in London. For many
years she worked as a foreign correspondent for the BBC posted in South Asia,
South East Asia, and Iran. From 2000–4 she was the resident BBC Correspondent
in Sri Lanka. She has worked at Amnesty International as Head of News and while
writing Still Counting the Dead was a visiting research fellow at Oxford University.
