Sometimes I think it’s possible to live with anything. That we’re wired to survive-survive-survive, to grip onto the gnarliest thread until life is pried from our bones. Other times I think, it’s not possible to live at all. Not at all. Blueberries could be described as a collection of essays, the closest term available for a book that resists classification: a blend of personal essay, polemic, prose poetry, true-crime journalism and confession that considers a fragmented life, reflecting on what it means to be a woman, a body, an artist. It is both a memoir and an interrogation of memoir. It is a new horizon in storytelling. In crystalline prose, Savage explores the essential questions of the examined life: what is it to desire? What is it to accommodate oneself to the world? And at what cost? Ellena Savage is an author and academic. Her work has been publishing widely in anthologies and literary journals including, recently, the Paris Review Daily, Sydney Review of Books, Choice Words and Lifted Brow, which she is a former editor of. Ellena is the recipient of several grants and prizes, including the 2019–21 Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarship. She lives in Athens, Greece. Blueberries is her first collection. ‘Savage’s idealism and eloquence are a much-needed counterbalance to our by-now-threadbare belief that all the hard questions of how to order our world have been answered, that everything unsettling such certainty is a glitch, to be soldered onto the technocratic motherboard and run through the circuits of the polity. Blueberries is an adamant and unruly book. It is also the most exciting work of creative non-fiction to be published in this country since Maria Tumarkin took up the pen.’ Australian ‘Her voice [is] reassuringly droll, critical and warmly intimate...[Savage] has a poetic way of reminding us that crucial learning comes only with age—that time is finite.’ Saturday Paper 'In form and in content, Blueberries is exquisite.’ Stella Prize Judges’ Report

A discreet advertisement in 'The Times', addressed to 'Those who Apppreciate Wisteria and Sunshine...' is the impetus for a revelatory month for four very different women. High above the bay on the Italian Riviera stands San Salvatore, a mediaeval castle. Beckoned to this haven are Mrs. Wilkins, Mrs Arbuthnot, Mrs Fisher and Lady Caroline Dester, each quietly craving a respite. Lulled by the Mediterranean spirit, they gradually shed their skins and discover a harmony each of them has longed for but never known. First published in 1922 and reminscient of 'Elizabeth and her German Garden', this delightful novel is imbued with the descriptive power and light-hearted irreverence for which Elizabeth von Arnin is renowned.

In the mountainous city of Nevers, there lives a professor of literature called Q. He has a dull marriage and a lacklustre career, but also a scrumptious collection of antique dolls locked away in his cupboard. And soon Q lands his crowning acquisition: a music box ballerina named Aliss who tantalizingly springs to life. Guided by his mysterious friend Owlish and inspired by an inexplicably familiar painting, Q embarks on an all-consuming love affair with Aliss, oblivious to the sinister forces encroaching on his city and the protests spreading across the university that have left his classrooms all but empty. Thrumming with secrets and shape-shifting geographies, Dorothy Tse's extraordinary debut novel is a boldly inventive exploration of life under repressive conditions.

The story of the mythical hero Theseus, slayer of monsters, abductor of princesses and king of Athens. He emerges from these pages as a clearly defined personality; brave, aggressive and quick. The core of the story is Theseus' Cretan adventure.

From the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Swimming Home, a single volume comprising her first two novels: Beautiful Mutants, long out of print, and Swallowing Geography, never before published in the United States.Beautiful Mutants, Deborah Levy's surreal first novel, introduces a manipulative and magical Russian exile who summons forth a series of grotesques--among them the Poet, the Banker, and the Anorexic Anarchist. Levy explores the anxieties that pervaded the 1980s: exile and emigration, broken dreams, crazed greed and the first seeds of the global financial crisis, self-destructive desires, and the disintegration of culture. It is a feverish allegory written in prose so beautiful and acrobatic that it could only come from a poet. This remarkable and pioneering debut is as much about language as it is the world that ensnares and alienates us.In Swallowing Geography, J. K., like her namesake Jack Kerouac, is always on the road, traveling Europe with her typewriter in a pillowcase. She wanders, meeting friends and strangers, battling her raging mother, and taking in the world through her uniquely irreverent, ironic perspective. Levy blends fairytale with biting satire, pushing at the edges of reality and marveling at where the world collapses in on itself. In this stunningly original novel, Deborah Levy searches deep into the heart of the late-twentieth century and does not hold back on what she finds there.

<i>Babel-17</i> is all about the power of language. Humanity, which has spread throughout the universe, is involved in a war with the Invaders, who have been covertly assassinating officials and sabotaging spaceships. The only clues humanity has to go on are strange alien messages that have been intercepted in space. Poet and linguist Rydra Wong is determined to understand the language and stop the alien threat. <i>(Paul Goat Allen)</i>

So often deployed as a jingoistic, even menacing rallying cry, or limited by a focus on passing moments of liberation, the rhetoric of freedom both rouses and repels. Does it remain key to our autonomy, justice, and well-being, or is freedom’s long star turn coming to a close? Does a continued obsession with the term enliven and emancipate, or reflect a deepening nihilism (or both)? ON FREEDOM examines such questions by tracing the concept’s complexities in four distinct realms: art, sex, drugs, and climate.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from critical theory to pop culture to the intimacies and plain exchanges of daily life, Nelson explores how we might think, experience, or talk about freedom in ways responsive to the conditions of our day. Her abiding interest lies in ongoing “practices of freedom” by which we negotiate our interrelation with—indeed, our inseparability from—others, with all the care and constraint that relation entails, while accepting difference and conflict as integral to our communion.
For Nelson, thinking publicly through the knots in our culture—from recent art world debates to the turbulent legacies of sexual liberation, from the painful paradoxes of addiction to the lure of despair in the face of the climate crisis—is itself a practice of freedom, a means of forging fortitude, courage, and company. ON FREEDOM is an invigorating, essential book for challenging times.

<b>A dazzling collection of short stories from the internationally acclaimed, award-winning author of <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> and <i>The Testaments</i>, stories that look deeply into the heart of family relationships, marriage, loss and memory, and what it means to spend a life together</b><br /><br />Margaret Atwood has established herself as one of the most visionary and canonical authors in the world. This collection of fifteen extraordinary stories--some of which have appeared in <i>The New Yorker </i>and <i>The New York Times Magazine</i>--explore the full warp and weft of experience, speaking to our unique times with Atwood's characteristic insight, wit and intellect.<br /><br />The two intrepid sisters of the title story grapple with loss and memory on a perfect summer evening; "Impatient Griselda" explores alienation and miscommunication with a fresh twist on a folkloric classic; and "My Evil Mother" touches on the fantastical, examining a mother-daughter relationship in which the mother purports to be a witch. At the heart of the collection are seven extraordinary stories that follow a married couple across the decades, the moments big and small that make up a long life of uncommon love--and what comes after.<br /><br />Returning to short fiction for the first time since her 2014 collection <i>Stone Mattress, </i> Atwood showcases both her creativity and her humanity in these remarkable tales which by turns delight, illuminate, and quietly devastate.

Spiral City finds itself trapped in a vicious cycle of crime, corruption, and violence.

With the heart of the city at stake, a vigilante rises in Skulldigger. However, when the nefarious Grimjim escapes from prison, will Skulldigger and his ward, Skeleton Boy, be enough to save Spiral City? From the world of the Eisner Award-winng Black Hammer series comes a dark tale of tragedy!

Collects Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy: From the World of Black Hammer #1-6 from the Eisner Award-winning writer Jeff Lemire and superstar artist Tonco Zonjic!

★ 华语文学现象级新人作品，老派少女的“家居吃饭史”。重履三代交织的本土饮食购物路线，追寻与妈妈的往日时光。一部魂牵梦萦的思念之书，用食物记忆留住我们所爱之人。——妈妈病逝后，自小看着外婆与妈妈张罗众人日常吃食的洪爱珠，用味蕾记忆复刻失传菜色，重建与往昔的连结。老食、老物、老铺、老市场，徐徐铺展一幅台湾本土饮食购物地图，更有香港及南洋新马泰、英国等地食记。以饮食忆往寄情，厨房的烟火、家族情感的绵延、老台北的人情风土皆在她温润的文字里收拢得浓淡合宜。“记忆的人、事、时、地、物，趁热下肚，以治心堵。”
★ “我认识我妈的时候，她早已是妈妈了。”外婆、妈妈与我，书中三代女性的成长路线与人生故事，也是我们自己走过的路。“这本书献给我的妈妈、我的外婆，以及所有在生活里头发挥智慧和能量的女生。”——外婆与妈妈都是自我要求苛刻的老派淑女，妈妈唯在脱离繁重家庭劳动的旅途中才会如“少女”般轻盈。作为老派家庭滋养出来的独立女性，作者体贴她们的不易与隐忍，也继承她们交棒的生活方式与经验养分。不同时代女性生存境遇相异，但老派少女身上，总有着不灭的自尊自强女性力量。“我这辈人，强调自我实现，实现什么不确定，自我则永远不够多。我妈则相反。”
★ 老派，是一种生存之道。老派少女的“老派”生活哲学，在人人渴望前卫新潮的世代，不妨老派一点。“老派”并非守旧，而是教养与人情、是独立而不张扬，是“急不得”的生活态度，是前人的生存智慧。——轰轰烈烈地吃饭，认认真真地生活。“老派”是对昔日岁月的惦念与长情。在越来越西化的社会，返身挖掘那些传统和不被注目的物与事，感受快时代中消逝的慢。
★ “台北文学奖”首奖得主洪爱珠首部著作，五感全开的饮食书写新声音。“洪爱珠不只是写吃写得好，她是——写得好。”舒国治、马世芳、蔡珠儿作序推荐，简媜、詹宏志、韩良忆、王盛弘、傅月庵诚挚推荐。——“依稀有沈从文、胡兰成笔意。写台湾家中饭桌菜极好极动人的一本书。待书出了，我要买一二十本送人！最先想到要送的，是侯孝贤导演。”（舒国治）“允为杰作。”（简媜）“爱珠的文体有空气感，宽柔到近乎松软，却又叙事严谨，视角精确，用现代话说，就是资讯含量高，经验值强大。轻柔的字里行间，暗藏杀手招式，看懂的就知道，都是硬实功底。”（蔡珠儿）

【内容简介】
“我认识我妈的时候，她早已是妈妈了。”
《老派少女购物路线》是作家洪爱珠首部散文著作。母亲病逝后，她将绵长思念化作珍珠化石般晶莹剔透的文字，记录下母亲给予她的丰盛饮食与饱满日常生活，从厨房小物到人间菜场，从粥面粉饭到异乡茶食。她回忆与母亲一起，叠印外婆脚步，加以近年发现的店铺，组成老派购物路线。老食、老物、老铺、老市场，是回返时间的甬道，是追寻记忆的线索。以饮食忆往寄情，厨房的烟火、家族情感的绵延、老台北的人情风土皆在她的文字里收拢得浓淡合宜。
洪爱珠的文风温润典雅、洗练机趣，她以家常饮食为主轴，母后哀思为伏线，重回那仿如盛世的亲族过往与时代光景，再现老派人的心志与作风，也直言女性生存境遇之苦辛。老派是一种生存之道，在人人渴望前卫新潮的世代，不妨老派一点。
坊间追忆家人的文章很多，但我绝不想写母亲的病况，这本书如此，未来也是如此。我情愿借由书写，来回忆我们度过的所有美好的一切，也就是从购物到饮食，这些生活中绝大部分的事物。这本书其实讲的是一个北台湾家庭圆桌吃饭的历史怎么样滋养了一个后来长大的独立的女性。我觉得每个妈妈传给子女的事物都很了不起，无需特别歌颂，我比较想写长辈这些经验给我们这一代女生什么样的支持与养分。

人一遭逢变故，就会想重建秩序，我见过最好的方法，就是跟老辈人借灵感。所以老派对我来说是生存之道，我从外婆买的摊商知道它的信誉，我知道外婆手路的口味没有断掉，在资讯这么过量、速度这么快的社会里，这一切让我安心。
——洪爱珠
洪爱珠这本书，说是写吃饭，也更是写家人。说是写饮食的审美，也更是写人生的句点逗点。说是写世道家园风俗之返视，也更是写自己怀亲从而修心养爱的过程。所以书名虽叫购物路线，也其实是少女成长路数。洪爱珠不只是写吃写得好，她是——写得好。
——舒国治（作家）
为病笃至亲觅食，自此拉开记忆帷幔，忆及外婆青春时期如何见识太平町盛世、少妇时代如何回大稻埕施展头家娘派头采买食材，依此便大手大脚畅写三代携手同游的各家昂贵药材珍奇食材店、古早小吃、风味饮品，完成购物路线旨趣与地图。文字轻盈，读来意趣横生。文末，“恍惚间她们松手，长长的百年的大街上，四顾仅余我一人”，归结于时光流逝、繁华易散，引读者不禁眼热而叹。允为杰作。
——简媜（作家）
逝者已矣，青春不可追。于是，重建记忆的味道，工笔细细记下，就成了招魂的仪式。我想用一碗鱼丸汤，来换洪爱珠的这些故事——其实这些故事岂能轻易换得？作个引子罢了。若非读了洪爱珠从她自小浸润的芦洲、大稻埕出发，织出一部魂牵梦萦的思念之书，我大概也不会忆起那碗牯岭街的鱼丸汤。
然而毕竟幼时的我，眯着眼睛看过七○年代的太阳，端过那只磕破了口子，画着一只不是齐白石的虾的瓷碗——而让我们魂牵梦萦，后来再也没有了的，永远是一些其他的东西。
——马世芳（作家、广播人）
往日习焉不察的吃食烹煮、琐物细节，经过回忆重建，展现出普鲁斯特式的瞬间，缠绵悠长。爱珠的文体有空气感，宽柔到近乎松软，却又叙事严谨，视角精确，用现代话说，就是资讯含量高，经验值强大。身为爱煮同好，我读她写炸物、卤肉、蒸冬瓜肉饼，甚至家常煲粥煮饭，都见到撇步眉角，轻柔的字里行间，暗藏杀手招式，看懂的就知道，都是硬实功底。
——蔡珠儿（作家）
满满的在地感，时代感。从前我说，如果你要理解台湾某一时代的都会女性，她们怎么见多识广，怎么看自己，一定要读李维菁。现在我会再加一位洪爱珠。
——颜择雅（作家、出版人）
深谙人情世故的心思，这是文字又不只是文字，这是出身，也是教养。
——王盛弘（作家）
她真老派，很有礼，知节制，用字遣词务求精准，读一篇有一篇的受用。
——傅月庵（作家、出版人）
不喜浮夸张扬，文字含蓄，常有余韵，因之愈读愈好看。

Red White & Royal Blue meets Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell in debut author Freya Marske’s A Marvellous Light, featuring an Edwardian England full of magic, contracts, and conspiracies.
Robin Blyth has more than enough bother in his life. He’s struggling to be a good older brother, a responsible employer, and the harried baronet of a seat gutted by his late parents’ excesses. When an administrative mistake sees him named the civil service liaison to a hidden magical society, he discovers what’s been operating beneath the unextraordinary reality he’s always known.
Now Robin must contend with the beauty and danger of magic, an excruciating deadly curse, and the alarming visions of the future that come with it—not to mention Edwin Courcey, his cold and prickly counterpart in the magical bureaucracy, who clearly wishes Robin were anyone and anywhere else.
Robin’s predecessor has disappeared, and the mystery of what happened to him reveals unsettling truths about the very oldest stories they’ve been told about the land they live on and what binds it. Thrown together and facing unexpected dangers, Robin and Edwin discover a plot that threatens every magician in the British Isles—and a secret that more than one person has already died to keep.

理想国外文纪实001，《纽约时报》年度选书，美国名记丽贝卡·特雷斯特直击单身女性群体。
★一部单身的通俗史，三十位女性的故事——单身并不是我们这代人的“发明”。特雷斯特将单身女性纳入美国近代史的脉络中：两次世界大战期间她们投身医疗救护、工业生产，女权运动浪潮中她们积极争取投票权、堕胎权益。长久以来，单身女性的故事就是这个国家的故事。
★“勾搭”文化、“波士顿婚姻”、冻卵……时代变迁，（单身）女性“见招拆招”，发出自己的声音——为什么在十九世纪的美国会有大量女性之间缔结伴侣关系的现象？现代女性为何选择情爱上的“小打小闹”，而拖延/拒绝进入婚姻？单身女性又要在何时生育、如何生育？她们的快乐烦恼，她们的生活经历，都在这本书里。
★不是“独身宣言”，也不为向传统婚姻“抖机灵”——特雷斯特提醒我们：女性命运不再是简单的“二选一”（不结婚就养猫），在她们面前会有更多的选项、更出彩的人生。结不结婚，女性都需要一种保持单身的能力，在思想上自主、经济上独立。由此我们将无可避免地迎来一个单身时代。
【内容简介】
《我的孤单，我的自我：单身女性的时代》是一部关于21世纪美国单身女性议题的纪实作品。作者特雷斯特聚焦这一群体，从近百个原始访谈中选取了约三十位女性的故事。当中有叱咤职场的女强人，有兼两份零工的单亲妈妈，有敢爱敢恨的女大学生。尽管她们的肤色、族裔多样，生活环境与教育背景不尽相同，但这些单身女性积极争取自身权益（选举权、堕胎权益），影响经济、文化与社会生活的方方面面。单身女性正在这个本不是为她们设计的世界里，逐渐占据一席之地，是时候开启一个“单身时代”了。

这本书来得正是时候。对于任何想要深入了解美国历史进程中这一关键时刻的人——而不仅仅是单身女性——它都是一部具有教育意义的、发人深思的作品。

哈德良，原名普布利乌斯·埃利乌斯·哈德良（76.1.24—138.7.10，绰号勇帝），罗马帝国五贤帝之一，生活于罗马帝国鼎盛时期。在位期间，他停止东方战争，与帕提亚国王缔结和约，改革官僚制度和法律，在不列颠岛北部建造了横贯东西的“哈德良长城”，并主持了大量艺术、建筑项目，如重建万神殿等。

《哈德良回忆录》一书采用书信体，透过老迈的哈德良留给十七岁继任者马尔库斯·奥列里乌斯的书信，娓娓道来一位尊贵的帝王，在生命终结之即，对人生、社会、爱情、政治、艺术等命题的观察与思考，也描述了他如何从军人一步步成为王者。书中不仅为皇帝呈现了文人、艺术家、旅行家、情人等诸多形象，还大量还原了古罗马时代的历史细节，既是一本写人生、写历史的小说，也反映了作者对人类文明的深刻思考。

Newly elected President Jack Spiers’s presidency is rocked from the very beginning, and he’s working furiously to keep the world from falling apart. Between terrorism attacks ripping apart Europe, Russia’s constant posturing and aggression, and the quagmire of the Middle East, Jack is struggling to keep his campaign promise—to work toward a better, safer world.
For Special Agent Ethan Reichenbach, Jack is just another president, the third in twelve years. With Jack’s election, he’s been promoted, and now he’s running the presidential detail, which puts him side by side with Jack daily. He’s expecting another stuffed suit and an arrogant DC politician, but Jack shocks him with his humor and humanity.
There are rules against a Secret Service agent and one of their protectees developing a friendship—big rules. Besides, Jack is a widower, and Ethan has always avoided falling for straight men. Ethan keeps his distance, but Jack draws him in, like gas to a naked flame, and it’s a lure he isn’t strong enough to turn away from.
As the two men collide, rules are shattered and the world teeters on the verge of war, and a rogue Black Ops unit bent on destruction sets Jack in their deadly crosshairs. Ethan must put everything on the line in order to save the man he’s come to love, Jack’s presidency, and the world.

Tove Jansson's Moomin characters and books are admired the world over. In the United States the series beginning with Finn Family Moomintroll (first published in English in 1945) has accumulated generations of fans. Since Farrar, Straus and Giroux began reissuing the books in 1989, grateful readers old and new have been thrilled to have the stories available again. At last the final installment is being published – oddly, the only book that features none of the Moomin family themselves, though it does take place at their house. There familiar characters converge – Snufkin, the Hemulen, Fillyjonk, and others – seeking out the Moomins' welcoming company, only to find them absent. All remain at the house, all have very different personalities that clash often, but something about their homey cohabitation during the icy winter changes each visitor in a gratifying way. As The Times Literary Supplement put it, Moominvalley in November is "possibly the cleverest of the Moomin books."

门德尔松81岁的数学家父亲去旁听儿子给本科生开设的《奥德赛》研读课，细读关于“漂泊与回家”的12110行史诗，之后父子二人又一起参加《奥德赛》主题游轮旅行。在文本与空间的“奥德赛之旅”中，他得以一次又一次重新理解父亲。
《奥德赛》是英雄漂泊多年，历尽千辛万苦得以归乡的故事；也是稚子长大成人，在寻父过程中逐渐了解父亲的故事。
