01. A Brief History of Seven Killings

by Marlon James This year’s Booker Prize-winner examines the attempted assassination of Bob Marley in Jamaica in the 70s. It’s told as an imagined oral biography, with a kinetic range of characters (75 of them), places and languages. Irie.

04. A Little Life

by Hanya Yanagihara A Booker-shortisted coming-ofage tale about four friends trying to make their way in New York after graduation and beyond.

Over decades, their relationships deepen, but there’s a dark terrifying core to them all.

02. Seveneves by Neal Stephenson After the moon explodes, humanity races to try to survive and preserve what remains of society. It’s a sprawling epic set over 5,000 years and 880 pages. If your giftee doesn’t like it, they can use it as a door stop.

05. Signs Preceding the End of the World by Yuri Herrera, trans. Lisa Dillman A lyrical, magical-realist novel about a young woman who smuggles herself from Mexico to the US in search of her gullible brother.

03. Purity by Jonathan Franzen Franzen’s latest is a multicontinental, multigenerational Dickensian tale all about how we interact with the modern world, with a little WikiLeaks thrown in for free. Like Franzen?

You’ll love this.

08. “The Magic Whip” by Blur 11.

Written in and inspired by Hong Kong, Blur’s latest is all about the compressed, frenetic nature of the city. $115 09. “Vega Intl. Night School”

by Neon Indian Joyous dance music with plenty of humor and loads of fun, mixed in with a solid 80s funk vibe. $145 10. Mad Max: Fury Road George Miller’s return to Mad Max was the finest action movie of the year. $259

“Divers” by Joanna Newsom The latest album from the reigning queen of weird harp, “Divers” is every bit as magical, freaky and mystical as her previous albums. $175

12. “Art Angels” by Grimes Grimes’ fourth album moves her from alternative icon to potential pop queen, but she hasn’t lost any of her edge. It may be poppy and upbeat, but it’s fiercely independent—and really angry.

13. Iris This documentary about 93-year-old fashion maven Iris Apfel is a vibrant, witty portrait of a one-of-a-kind icon.

$189 14. Pitch Perfect 2 The aca-bitches are back in this superentertaining musical romp. $355

RUDE Bar and Lounge – a home away from home

per

You might miss it the first time – I know I did.

Tucked into the upper basement of Harilela House, where Hollywood Road becomes Wyndham Street, the doors actually open to Pottinger Street. You might know it as ‘the old Kila’ or even ‘this used to be Mrs. Jones’, but we’ve been Rude for almost a year now, so it’s a perfect time to celebrate. All month long, we’ll have a buy-three-get-one-free on champagne, so come celebrate with us!

Our anniversary week kicks off with our “house party” on Tuesday 15 December, and we’ll be giving away some goods worth turning up for. Friday 18 December also marks one year of Salsa Fever Fridays, so you know we’ll be bringing out a little something special for our guests.

If you don’t know what you’re doing for Christmas dinner, we’re inviting you to our place! Special set lunch with a freeflow of house wine, draft beer, and champagne until 7PM for only $488 per person or $788 for two. No reservations required, but we recommend it. And Christmas night will be an “ugly jumper” salsa party with Latin music blasting throughout the night!

Finally, Final we’ll ring in the New Year with a masquerade ball and, of course, a champagne toast at midnight!

Charity pub quiz: Wednesday 2 December Anniversary Party: Tuesday 15 December Anniversary Salsa: Friday 18 December “Last-minute” Christmas dinner: Friday 25 December noon unnl 7PM Masquerade New Year’s Eve: Thursday 31 December
