Introduction
Serpent’s Tail an imprint of Profile Books Ltd
In this second half of our thirtieth birthday year, our books are as fiercely engaged with the world as ever. Sarah Perry’s stunning second novel The Essex Serpent conjures a passionate friendship born out of the debate between faith and reason that raged through the Victorian era. Adrien Bosc’s Constellation is a moving account of a 1949 air disaster that honours the forty-eight men and women who died on board with a graceful, tender portrait of each of their lives. And we have two very different but each equally blistering accounts of inequality and injustice in contemporary America in extraordinary new novels by Mary Gaitskill and John Dufresne.

In addition, we are extremely proud to be publishing the revealing and riotous diaries of one of the world’s greatest rebels, Vivienne Westwood, and the collected poetry of Eileen Myles; Myles is a radical and an American icon, and we are thrilled that her vital writing is finally getting the wider recognition it has always deserved.

The Essex Serpent
New title
Sarah Perry
A sumptuously imagined novel of passion, ideas and friendship Set in Victorian London and an Essex village in the 1890s, The Essex Serpent has at its heart the story of two extraordinary people who fall for each other – but not in the usual way. Cora Seaborne is a well-to-do London widow and amateur naturalist who moves to the Essex parish of Aldwinter, where William Ransome is the local vicar. They meet as their village is engulfed by rumours that the mythical Essex Serpent, once said to roam the marshes claiming human lives, has returned. As the seasons turn around them in this quiet corner of England, they find themselves inexorably drawn together and torn apart. Dazzlingly written and woven through with rich historical detail, this novel is most profoundly a celebration of love and the many different guises it can take. It establishes Sarah Perry as one of the finest writers of her generation.
Perry’s debut After Me Comes the Flood was longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and the Folio Prize, won the East Anglian Book of the Year Award, received unanimous critical acclaim and was praised by writers including John Burnside and Sarah Waters ‘Perry is a startlingly good writer. If she doesn’t win the Man Booker prize one day, I’ll be amazed’ Sophie Hannah
Sarah Perry was born in Essex in 1979. She studied creative writing at Royal Holloway, and has been the writer in residence at the Gladstone Library and the UNESCO World City of Literature Writer in Residence in Prague. She lives in Norwich. The Essex Serpent is her second novel.

Get A Life
New title
The Diaries of Vivienne Westwood Vivienne Westwood
The unique vision of an icon of punk, fashion and activism Vivienne Westwood began Get A Life, her online diary, in 2010. Since then, she has written two or three entries each month, discussing her life in fashion and her involvement with art, politics and the environment. Vivienne’s diary is as fascinating and provocative as you would expect from Britain’s punk dame – a woman who always says exactly what she believes. One week, you might find Vivienne up the Amazon, highlighting tribal communities’ struggles to maintain the rainforest; another will see her visiting Julian Assange; or then again, she could be hanging out with Pamela Anderson, or driving a tank up to David Cameron’s house. Vivienne Westwood’s diary is fresh and unpredictable. In book form, generously illustrated with her own selection of images, it is irresistible.
‘Vivienne Westwood is the most inspiring woman in fashion’ Marie Claire
Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age: fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother. Her career has successfully spanned five decades and her work has influenced millions across the world.

The Mare
New title
Mary Gaitskill
The triumphant return of America’s most revered cult novelist Ginger is forty-seven when she meets and marries Paul. With no children of their own, they decide to sign up to an organisation that sends poor inner-city kids to stay with country families for a few weeks in the summer. So one hot July day Velveteen Vargas arrives in their lives, and Ginger is instantly besotted. Velvet is an eleven-year-old Dominican girl from one of Brooklyn’s toughest neighbourhoods. Bemused by her gentle middle-aged hosts, but deeply intuitive in the way of clever children, Velvet senses the longing behind Ginger’s attentions. Velvet returns her affection, but when Ginger begins to entertain fantasies of adopting her, things start to get complicated. This is Mary Gaitskill’s masterpiece: a devastating portrait of the nearly unbridgeable gaps between people, and the way we long for fairytale endings despite knowing they don’t exist. ‘Gaitskill’s work feels more real than real life and reading her leads to a place that feels like a sacred space’ Boston Globe ‘Urgent, scalding and unexpectedly compassionate, The Mare is a revelation’ Rupert Thomson
Mary Gaitskill is the author of the story collections Bad Behaviour, Because They Wanted To and Don’t Cry, and the novels Veronica and Two Girls Fat and Thin. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and her work has appeared in the New Yorker, Harper’s, Esquire and The Best American Short Stories.

I Don’t Like Where This Is Going
New title
A Wylie ‘Coyote’ Melville Novel
John Dufresne
A wild ride into the dark heart of America Wylie ‘Coyote’ Melville – burnt-out therapist and amateur forensic consultant – needs a break. Florida might be home, but it’s also home to bad memories and local gangsters bearing grudges. So Wylie and his ace poker-playing friend Bay Lettique head to the tawdry glitz of Las Vegas to lie low. But when Wylie and Bay see a woman fall from the balcony of her hotel on the Strip, their Vegas vacation soon turns into a murder investigation, and Wylie starts to follow a trail that leads him across the vast and lawless deserts of redneck Nevada and deep into the heart of a human trafficking conspiracy. Filled with trademark black humour, I Don’t Like Where This Is Going continues Wylie’s haphazard investigations into America’s bankrupt political system, where power and influence are for sale and the corrupt prey on the innocent.

Constellation
Debut
Adrien Bosc Translated by Willard Wood
The anatomy of a plane crash – investigation, meditation, memorial On 27 October 1949, Air France’s Lockheed Constellation F-BAZN left Paris Orly Airport for New York. Hours later, it disappeared on approach to its scheduled stopover in the Azores. It was found on a mountainside five miles from its intended landing zone. There were no survivors. Constellation tells the true stories of the forty-eight passengers who died, their place in the world and their hopes and dreams for the life awaiting them on the other side of the Atlantic; of a heavyweight boxer flying to New York for a world title fight; of a thirty-year-old virtuoso violinist; of five Basque shepherds emigrating to America; and of the whole constellation of untold stories that tragedy scatters around it like so much debris. Bosc’s magnetic, moving novel is a memorial to an air disaster that happened half a century ago, and a profound exploration of the nature of collective tragedy. ‘At once ambitious and accomplished in both narrative and prose style ... somewhere between story, historical investigation and homage, Constellation sparkles’ Le Figaro International bestseller and winner of the Académie Française Prize
Adrien Bosc was born in Avignon in 1986. He is the founder of Éditions du sous-sol and the magazines Desports and Feuilleton. Constellation is his first novel. @BoscAdrien

Vulgar Tongues
New title
A History of English Slang
Max Décharné
A rollercoaster ride through the colourful history of slang – from highwaymen to hip-hop Slang is the language of street culture, pop culture and underground movements; depending on your point of view, it is a badge of honour or a dangerous assault on the values of polite society. Of all the vocabularies available to us, slang is the most alive, constantly evolving to infuse the language with a healthy dose of vitality. Witty, energetic and informative, Vulgar Tongues traces the history of slang from the thieves and prostitutes of Elizabethan London through to the punks and hipsters of the present day. On the way, Décharné’s encyclopaedic tour through argot, jargon, patois and cant introduces us to Dr Johnson, lonely hearts columns, World War Two flying aces, pulp novels, carnival geeks, pickpockets and the many eccentric characters who have tried to record slang throughout its chequered past.

The Sex Lives of English Women
New title
Intimate Questions and Unexpected Answers
Wendy Jones
An honest and inspiring exploration of female sexuality, this book will change how we think and talk about sex In the 700 years that books have been published in England, there has not been one that invites women to talk about what they want from sex. Wendy Jones thought someone should at least have the courtesy to ask. So she went out with a tape recorder and spoke to twenty-four women from all walks of life: a wealthy suburban housewife, a former prostitute, a feminist into BDSM, a covered Muslim, a transsexual, a woman in her nineties who remembers the sexual freedom of World War Two. They talk about their lives, families, partners and bodies, about what they have learnt, how they have been hurt, what they enjoy and what they long for. The interviews are frank, engaging and sometimes astonishing. Each woman is unique, but together perhaps they bring us closer to answering Freud’s old question: ‘What do women want?’ The twenty-four women who share their sexual histories and unspoken desires in The Sex Lives of English Women are each remarkable in their own right, but together tell the moving and frequently surprising story of women’s relationship with sex today
Wendy Jones is a graduate of the University of East Anglia and has a PhD from Goldsmiths in creative writing. She has published two novels and is the author of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl, a biography of Grayson Perry.

I Love Dick
New paperback
Chris Kraus
The cult classic of art, love, sex and feminism – now in paperback When Chris Kraus, an unsuccessful artist pushing forty, spends an evening with a rogue academic named Dick, she falls madly and inexplicably in love, enlisting her husband in her haunted pursuit. Dick proposes a kind of game between them, but when he fails to answer their letters Chris continues alone, transforming an adolescent infatuation into a new form of philosophy. Blurring the lines of fiction, essay and memoir, Chris Kraus’ novel was a literary sensation when it was first published in 1997. Widely considered to be the most important feminist novel of the past two decades, with fans as diverse as Lena Dunham, Sheila Heti, Kim Gordon, Leslie Jamison and Alexa Chung, I Love Dick is still essential reading; as relevant, fierce and funny as ever.

I Must Be Living Twice New and Selected Poems 1975–2014
Eileen Myles
Selected works new and old from the celebrated poet and radical icon Eileen Myles’ work is known for its blend of reality and fiction, the sublime and the ephemeral. Her poems open new perspectives on familiar places and invite readers into lush dream worlds, imbuing the landscapes of her writing with the vividness and energy of fantasy. I Must Be Living Twice brings together selections from the poet’s previous work with a set of bold new poems that reflect her sardonic, unapologetic and fiercely intellectual literary voice. Steeped in the culture of New York, I Must Be Living Twice is a prism refracting a radical world and a compelling life.
‘Eileen Myles’ essential poetry is the hip kid leaning against their locker secretly burning with intensity, the smartest boy in the class who doesn’t care he has a scar down his face, the thing you just wish you’d said’ Lena Dunham ‘Unadorned, come-as-you-are poetry’ The New York Times
Eileen Myles has published twenty books of poetry, art journalism, fiction and libretti. She is a Guggenheim Fellow, has received the Shelley Prize and a Lambda Award for lesbian fiction, and was named on the Slate/ Whiting Second Novel List. She lives in Marfa, Texas, and New York.

Serpent’s Tail Classics Masterpieces from the Serpent’s Tail vault Pete Ayrton founded Serpent’s Tail in 1986 to introduce British readers to risk-taking books from around the world. Serpent’s Tail quickly established a reputation for fearlessness, and for discovering an eclectic range of ground-breaking fiction and non-fiction. At thirty, we’re still publishing dangerous books that we think matter, from literary novels, crime fiction and works in translation to non-fiction books on contemporary culture and politics. Whether it’s Albertine Sarrazin’s 60s tale of youthful rebellion Astragal, Lester Bangs’ missives from the punk-rock frontline in Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung, Jean Patrick-Manchette’s razorsharp Marxist satire Fatale or David Gates’s bravura story of a man drinking himself into oblivion in Jernigan, our classics still burn as fiercely as they did on first publication.
