“我和朋友们曾置身于90年代的热带风暴。我用自行车带着朋友，笔直冲进水泊，奋力踩着踏板。
而后，我们共同来到了干燥的下世纪。”
——周嘉宁
※ 睽隔四年，周嘉宁《基本美》之后全新中篇集，以《再见日食》《浪的景观》《明日派对》，完成千禧一代中篇三部曲，分别从“ 天才女孩”、地下服饰、电台文化三个主题入手，加之扎实、精确、节制的叙事，勾勒出全球化语境下成长起来的一代中国人的内心特质。
※ 关于集体记忆与个别的梦，浪尖的风与好运，遗留于浅滩的残骸，友谊与纪念碑。来自世纪初的共振充盈着此时此刻，直至曾经发生的热情在日渐完整的秩序中重塑自己的形状。
※ 从偏远的美国小镇，到南京某处名为“防风林”地下室，从挤满罗大佑歌迷的南下列车，到已不复存在的上海迪美地下城，周嘉宁书写时代浪潮中的友谊、爱情、梦想，以小说的形式，为读者提供“一块干净明亮的地方”。
本书收录了周嘉宁2019年至今创作的三部中篇小说：《再见日食》（2019）、《浪的景观》（2021）、《明日派对》（2022）。
《再见日食》：日本作家满岛拓时隔二十年再访佩奥尼亚小镇，与青年时代的友人们重逢，而怀有隐秘过去的中国少女泉，早已失散于世界深处，只被拓用语言留存在虚构中。此刻，湖泊、草地与森林交汇的乌托邦，一场葬礼已经结束，一次日食将被见证。
《浪的景观》：似乎是为延续世纪末的旧梦，“我”和群青加入新世纪弄潮儿的队伍，在迪美地下城盘下档口，做起服装生意。在时代浪潮中，友情、爱情、金钱和梦想被高高举起，又迅速被席卷，留下一地泡沫。当“我”站在沙滩上的金字塔面前，却决定不再做一个困在回忆里的受害者，而是伸长手臂，向宇宙发出勇者的信号。
《明日派对》：午夜电台的音乐节目主持人张宙，像一段没有形态的波段，连接起“我”、王鹿、潇潇和“作战指挥部”一群人的友谊，我们遍历世纪初的上海、南京、北京和台北，在虚拟时空、在长江口湿地，试图搭建一个关于音乐梦想的“明日派对”。然而在时代的挤压下，一切似乎难以维系。劫后余生的人们顺流而下，心怀感激，在河的这边靠岸，向河的那边挥手。

2001年，79岁的父亲突然中风。康复期间因查出心率过缓，医生建议安装心脏起搏器。心脏起搏器的电池可以持续工作10年，而父亲的身体因为中风急剧退化，在失忆失能后依然靠心脏起搏器维持了数年生命。
这是一本回忆录，作者用深情而冷静的笔触讲述了生病后的父亲由风趣儒雅的大学教授到最后只能呆坐着、被剥夺了一切的过程，以及作为主要照护人的母亲在漫长的照顾过程中承担的身体和心理压力。
这也是一部现代医疗状况的报告书。在父母相继过世后，记者出身的作者通过研究与访谈调查了现代医疗技术的发展以及医疗、科技与商业之间的关系，指出了医疗的极限，揭示出过度医疗的背后诱因，并引导读者思考如何做才是对临终之人更好的照护。

"Marigold was absorbed in her book; she had gotten as far as the V." So begins
, Louise Gl�ck's astonishing chronicle of the first year in the life of twin girls. Imagine a fairy tale that is also a multigenerational saga; a piece for two hands that is also a symphony; a poem that is also, in the spirit of Kafka's
, an incandescent act of autobiography.
Here are the elements you'd expect to find in a story of infant twins--Father and Mother; Grandmother and Other Grandmother; bath time and naptime--but more than that,
is an investigation of the great mystery of language and of time itself, of what is and what has been and what will be. "Outside the playpen there were day and night. What did they add up to? Time was what they added up to. Rain arrived, then snow." The twins learn to climb stairs, they regard each other like criminals through the bars of their cribs, they begin to speak. "It was evening. Rose was smiling placidly in the bathtub, playing with the squirting elephant which, according to Mother, represented patience, strength, loyalty, and wisdom. How does she do it, Marigold thought, knowing what we know."
Simultaneously sad and funny, and shot through with a sense of stoic wonder, this small miracle of a book follows thirteen books of poetry and two collections.

A sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city. His first novel in 12 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his inimitable best. LA, 1981. Buckley College in heat. 17-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret's obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence. Can he trust his friends - or his own mind - to make sense of the danger they appear to be in? Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles inexorably toward a collision. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of Bret's life at 17 - sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage.

True biz? The students at the River Valley School for the Deaf just want to hook up, pass their history final, and have doctors, politicians, and their parents stop telling them what to do with their bodies. This revelatory novel plunges readers into the halls of a residential school for the deaf, where they'll meet Charlie, a rebellious transfer student who's never met another deaf person before; Austin, the school's golden boy, whose world is rocked when his baby sister is born hearing; and February, the headmistress, who is fighting to keep her school open and her marriage intact, but might not be able to do both. As a series of crises both personal and political threaten to unravel each of them, Charlie, Austin, and February find their lives inextricable from one another--and changed forever.
This is a story of sign language and lip-reading, cochlear implants and civil rights, isolation and injustice, first love and loss, and, above all, great persistence, daring, and joy. Absorbing and assured, idiosyncratic and relatable, this is an unforgettable journey into the Deaf community and a universal celebration of human connection.

is a little-known novel. But it is also a universal story of friendship. It is a book of great power, waiting to be discovered.
On a grey afternoon in 1932, a Stuttgart classroom is stirred by the arrival of a newcomer. Middle-class Hans is intrigued by the aristocratic new boy, Konradin, and before long they become best friends. It’s a friendship of the greatest kind, of shared interests and long conversations, of hikes in the German hills and growing up together. But the boys live in a changing Germany. Powerful, delicate and daring,
is a story of the fragility, and strength, of the bonds between friends.

Christopher Metcalfe returns to his childhood home following the death of his father. Here, he confronts memories of his time at public school and relives the intense, passionate affair he shared with fellow student Stephen Walker. This forces him to come to terms with himself at last.

蒂姆·高特罗从不接受随意的文字和简单的讽刺；相反，他有天赋和同情心，能在看似平凡的生活中发现不平凡之处，他的文字具有诗歌的精确和令人难忘的特质。《信号》再次向我们证明，高特罗是美国最杰出的短篇小说家之一。
——罗恩·拉什
长久以来，蒂姆·高特罗是我最爱读的作家之一，他是一位独具风格的文字艺术家，对人心有一种独特的洞察力，细致入微而睿智。他也是那种少有的在长篇小说和短篇小说创作上都有很高造诣的作家。《信号》中的故事无论新旧都同样出色。

To what extent and in what ways was homosexuality approved by the ancient Greeks? An eminent classicist examines the evidence--vase paintings, archaic and classical poetry, the dialogues of Plato, speeches in the law courts, the comedies of Aristophanes--and reaches provocative conclusions. A discussion of female homosexuality is included.

"The Lantern Room explores extreme psychic states alongside questions of what tethers us to the world, the seasons, and each other. With precision and compassion, these poems cut through the climate of silence surrounding mental illness and treatment. This collection is also concerned with the vigilance it takes for a woman to see herself and the world through her own gaze. Honum writes of sorrow and beauty, heartbreak and humor. By turns steely and delicate, these poems trace what it means to both stand trembling at precipices and to lean on wonder and beauty. "Lyrical and lush, Chloe Honum's The Lantern Room takes sorrow as its artistic subject: 'Alone in my bedroom, I sob, / and the wardrobe steps forward, / like a coffin-mother, to embrace me.' As Honum presents arresting imagery and daring metaphors, she does the urgent and necessary work of imagining a feminist poetics of the unspeakable, offering a vision that fully does justice to the complexity of her subject. 'Mother Silence / could appear behind me," she writes, "waving from any one of these dark windows.' The Lantern Room is a darkly brilliant book, and Honum is a rising star in contemporary poetry." - Kristina Marie Darling"--

A woman feeding a baby late at night listens to the animal sounds in the city around her. A grieving widow encounters an injured jellyfish on a deserted beach. A young woman can’t shake the image of dying hare she finds at the side of the road. A dairy farmer hears her herd bellow with fear at night.
Animals at Night is Naomi Booth’s first collection of short stories. Collected here are stories that illuminate the strange nocturnal meetings between humans and other animals.

In a nameless, homogenised suburb, every house has a room reserved for the president. No one knows when or why this came to be. It is simply how things are, and no one appears to question or contradict this spatial disposition. The room is kept ordered and clean, and nobody is allowed to use it. It is solely for him, the president. But what if he never comes? Everything is kept vague, so vague that we begin to wonder if even the narrator can be trusted...
Compared to Kafka and Calvino, Ricardo Romero brings us a novel that narrates eeriness, perhaps a metaphor, from the point of view of a shy boy who seems to be very good at lying about the truth. Following in the steps of Julio Cortázar and of a certain literary tradition of sinister rooms –where Dr Jekyll became Mr Hyde, for instance–, The President’s Room is a mysterious tale based on the metaphysical hypothesis that each house is never just one single home.

From the ‘Hitchcock of the River Plate’ (Corriere della Sera) comes Piñeiro’s third novel, a unique tale that interweaves crime fiction with intimate tales of morality and search for individual freedom.
After Rita is found dead in the bell tower of the church she used to attend, the official investigation into the incident is quickly closed. Her sickly mother is the only person still determined to find the culprit. Chronicling a difficult journey across the suburbs of the city, an old debt and a revealing conversation, Elena Knows unravels the secrets of its characters and the hidden facets of authoritarianism and hypocrisy in our society.

Mathea Martinsen has never been good at dealing with other people. After a lifetime, her only real accomplishment is her longevity: everyone she reads about in the obituaries has died younger than she is now. Afraid that her life will be over before anyone knows that she lived, Mathea digs out her old wedding dress, bakes some sweet cakes, and heads out into the world—to make her mark. She buries a time capsule out in the yard. (It gets dug up to make room for a flagpole.) She wears her late husband’s watch and hopes people will ask her for the time. (They never do.) Is it really possible for a woman to disappear so completely that the world won’t notice her passing?
is a macabre twist on the notion that life “must be lived to the fullest.”

From the author of the thrilling science-fiction epic Children of Time, winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award. 'One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction' - Christopher PaoliniShards of Earth is the first high-octane instalment in the Final Architecture trilogy.The war is over. Its heroes forgotten. Until one chance discovery . . . Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity's heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers. Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans ­such as Idris - who could communicate mind-to-mind with our aggressors. Then these 'Architects' simply disappeared and Idris and his kind became obsolete. Now, Idris and his crew have something strange, abandoned in space. It's clearly the work of the Architects - but are they really returning? And if so, why? Hunted by gangsters, cults and governments, Idris and his crew race across the galaxy as they search for answers. For they now possess something of incalculable value, and many would kill to obtain it. Praise for Adrian Tchaikovsky:'Enthralling, epic, immersive and hugely intelligent' - Stephen Baxter on Shards of Earth'He writes incredibly enjoyable sci-fi, full of life and ideas' - Patrick Ness 'Brilliant science fiction' - James McAvoy on Children of Time

“At last, a definitive guide to the medicinal origins of every bottle behind the bar! This is the cocktail book of the year, if not the decade.” —Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist and Wicked Plants

“A fascinating book that makes a brilliant historical case for what I’ve been saying all along: alcohol is good for you…okay maybe it’s not technically good for you, but [English] shows that through most of human history, it’s sure beat the heck out of water.” —Alton Brown, creator of Good Eats

Beer-based wound care, deworming with wine, whiskey for snakebites, and medicinal mixers to defeat malaria, scurvy, and plague: how today's tipples were the tonics of old.

Alcohol and Medicine have an inextricably intertwined history, with innovations in each altering the path of the other. The story stretches back to ancient times, when beer and wine were used to provide nutrition and hydration, and were employed as solvents for healing botanicals. Over time, alchemists distilled elixirs designed to cure all diseases, monastic apothecaries developed mystical botanical liqueurs, traveling physicians concocted dubious intoxicating nostrums, and the drinks we’re familiar with today began to take form. In turn, scientists studied fermentation and formed the germ theory of disease, and developed an understanding of elemental gases and anesthetics. Modern cocktails like the Old-Fashioned, Gimlet, and Gin and Tonic were born as delicious remedies for diseases and discomforts. In Doctors and Distillers, cocktails and spirits expert Camper English reveals how and why the contents of our medicine and liquor cabinets were, until surprisingly recently, one and the same.

Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida—war photographer, gambler, and closet queen—has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira Lake and he has no idea who killed him. In a country where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers, and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to the photos that will rock Sri Lanka.

Ten years after his prize-winning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka’s foremost authors, Shehan Karunatilaka is back with a “thrilling satire” ( Economist ) and rip-roaring state-of-the-nation epic that offers equal parts mordant wit and disturbing, profound truths.

“Buzzy and enthralling …A glorious novel about empires and erasures, husbands and wives, staggering fortunes and unspeakable misery…Fun as hell to read.” —Oprah Daily

"A genre-bending, time-skipping story about New York City’s elite in the roaring ’20s and Great Depression."—Vanity Fair

“A riveting story of class, capitalism, and greed.” —Esquire

"Captivating."—NPR

"Exhilarating.” —New York Times

An unparalleled novel about money, power, intimacy, and perception

Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.
    Hernan Diaz’s TRUST elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation.
    At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, TRUST engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.
