Introduction
Serpent’s Tail
I’m delighted to be introducing the autumn 2013 Serpent’s Tail and Clerkenwell Press lists, along with our new stablemates, Tindal Street Press.

In Boris Vian’s foreword to his masterpiece Mood Indigo, he says there are only two things in life that really matter: every kind of love, and the music of Duke Ellington. Our books are guided by the same principles, though our taste in music is broader. Love takes us from Mood Indigo’s surreal and tragi-comic romance to the presentiment felt by all of Europe in 1913 that love might never be possible again; from a man trapped between the promise of new love and his own family to the surprising tenderness felt by an old man for his younger companion against a backdrop of violence. And as for the music? We have Lloyd Bradley’s Sounds Like London, an account of how black music has been lighting up the capital, and influencing the world, for 100 years. Hannah Westland Publisher

Mood Indigo Boris Vian
Film Tie-In
Translated by Stanley Chapman
Now a major film starring Audrey Tautou, directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) In a crazed world where kitchen mice dance to the sound of sunbeams, Colin is an innocent young aristocrat who loves easily. Smitten the moment he sees Chloe, soon the two are married. But a lily grows in Chloe’s lung, and Colin is forced to work a soul-crushing job to pay for her daily treatment of fresh flowers. As Colin’s world falls apart, even the mice turn suicidal, wearing themselves out trying to restore the lustre to the kitchen tiles. A heartbreaking, comic tragedy, Mood Indigo is a beguiling kaleidoscope of fantasy and lost youth, jazz harmonies and shattered dreams.
As iconic in France as The Catcher in the Rye is in Britain and America ‘Your heart will be broken. You will be confused and confounded. You will laugh aloud. And at least for a time, however hard you try, your own world will refuse to be what you think it is’ LA Times
Boris Vian (1920–59) was a French writer, poet, musician, singer, translator, critic, actor, inventor and engineer. He is best remembered for L’ecume des jours (first published as Froth on the Daydream and renamed Mood Indigo in this edition).

A Kind of Eden Amanda Smyth
New Title
Danger is everywhere – even in paradise A retired English policeman takes a job in Trinidad and moves across the world to supplement his income for his family. Despite the atrocities he investigates – kidnappings, burglaries, and so many murders – he feels he has rediscovered himself, and finds he is happier than he has been for years. When his family comes to visit, he plans to tell them how things have changed. That he won’t be coming back. But the Caribbean is a place of grave danger as well as great beauty; one night he forgets this, and the result has consequences beyond his imagination.

J. Robert Lennon
New Title
‘Lennon’s writing contains enough electricity to light up the country’ Ann Patchett Elisa Brown is driving back from her annual visit to her son Silas’s grave. The road is flat and featureless, and for a moment she loses sense of everything around her but the road ahead. When Elisa comes back to herself, everything feels familiar, but she is driving a different car. Her body, her clothes have changed. She returns home to find Silas alive, her marriage sturdier, her other son disturbingly altered. Has she entered a parallel universe? Or is it a psychotic break? It seems like a second chance – but can Elisa pretend nothing has changed?
‘A swerving existential mystery’ New York Times ‘So breakneck and harrowing, so grab-you-by-the-lapels astonishing, that you may not notice until nearly the end how many questions about your own life it makes you ask. Haunting, beautiful, a horror story about parenting, complicated – it’s a wonderful book’ Elizabeth McCracken
J. Robert Lennon is the author of seven novels. His fiction has appeared in the Paris Review, Granta, Harper’s Magazine and the New Yorker. He lives in New York.

The Mistress Contract She & He
New Title
‘I want to love men. That is what feminism has brought me. I have received all of the messages, and I want to love men.’ In 1981, a highly educated, intelligent woman with three children and a successful career asked her wealthy lover to sign a remarkable document: The Mistress Contract. He would provide her with a home and an income, while she would provide ‘all sexual acts as requested, with suspension of historical, emotional, psychological disclaimers’. Why would a modern woman of her status do such a thing? This book of intimate conversations between an anonymous couple about their relationship – and the sexual politics that shaped it – tries to answer that question. Provocative and unapologetic, they reveal their opinions about sex, marriage, parenthood and work, and force us to reassess what we believe about our own lives. The true story of a unique relationship An honest, intelligent and wry exploration into sexual politics and the meaning of love
She and He live in separate houses on the west coast of the United States. They began the affair which led to the Mistress Contract twenty years after leaving university. She is now eighty-eight. He is ninetythree. Their contract has been in place for over thirty years.

The Body Hunter Najat El Hachmi
New Title
Translated by Peter Bush
A provocative and moving novel about mastering desire Isabel is a young Catalan woman from a conventional family. But her run-of-the-mill existence cleaning houses for a living conceals a secret life of countless sexual partners and dangerous erotic encounters. Gradually, she begins to confide in the writer whose house she cleans, until he becomes party to her darkest secrets. She trusts him – he is the only man she knows who does not try to sleep with her – and as their relationship develops, she becomes more dependent on his advice and understanding, eventually revealing the complicated sadness that drives her reckless behaviour.

Her Privates We Frederic Manning
Classic
A new edition for the hundredth anniversary of the First World War Her Privates We tells the story of the Battle of the Somme from the perspective of Bourne, an ordinary private. A shockingly honest portrait of men engaged in war, ‘that peculiarly human activity’, this edition restores the excisions which tempered its raw, blunt language in its original edition. Her Privates We has become an undisputed classic of war writing and a lasting tribute to all who participated in the war. Championed by Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, TS Eliot and TE Lawrence, this new edition will reveal to a new generation of readers the cost of human conflict.
‘I read Her Privates We every year to remember how things really were so that I will never lie to myself or anyone else about them’ Ernest Hemingway With an introduction by William Boyd
Frederic Manning abandoned his literary career to enlist in the Shropshire Light Infantry as ‘Private 19022’ in 1915. The Shropshires fought at the Somme and Manning’s four months there provided the basis for Her Privates We. He died in 1935.

Sounds Like London
100 Years of Black Music in the Capital Lloyd Bradley
New Title
The story of a city’s transformation through its music Black music has been part of London’s landscape since the First World War, when the Southern Syncopated Orchestra brought jazz to the capital. Following the wave of Commonwealth immigration, its sounds and styles became the foundation of the city’s youth culture. Sounds Like London tells the story of the music and the people making it, journeying from Soho jazz clubs and Brixton blues parties to King’s Cross warehouse raves and the streets of Notting Hill – and on to sound systems everywhere. Interviewees include Eddy Grant, Osibisa, Russell Henderson, Dizzie Rascal and Trevor Nelson, with an introduction by Soul2Soul’s Jazzie B.

The Walk
Robert Walser
Classic
Translated by Christopher Middleton et al. and with a Foreword by Susan Sontag
A classic work by an author who was one of W. G. Sebald’s greatest influences ‘For me, the sketches I produce now and then are the shortish or longish chapters of a novel. The novel I am constantly writing is always the same one, and it might be described as a variously sliced-up or torn-apart book of myself.’ One of the greatest writers of modern literature – and an important influence on Kafka – comes to light in this selection of the best of his short works. Through his characters – young men of modest means, famous artists, society women, animals endowed with the gift of speech – Roert Walser captures the dislocated unease of life in early twentieth century Europe.

The Summer of the Century Florian Illies
The Clerkenwell Press
Translated by Sean Whiteside
The defining moment of the twentieth century 1913: the start of a new age, yet the premonition of ruin is everywhere. Literature, art and music know humanity has lost its innocence; across Europe, artists act as if there were no tomorrow. Rilke and Freud discuss beauty and transience in a Munich hotel lobby; Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring churns nature into industrial cacophony; Kafka, Joyce and Musil drink coffee in Trieste on the same day; and while Kirchner paints Berlin’s throbbing, hectic metropolis, in Munich an Austrian postcard painter named Adolf Hitler sells his conventional cityscapes. Worked up from sketched documentary traces, 1913 is an intimate, moving cultural portrait of Europe on the brink of apocalypse.
‘A brilliant game of original quotations and tracings’ Der Spiegel A number one bestseller in Germany and has sold over 200,000 copies
Florian Illies was born in 1971. He has worked as literary editor for major German newspapers and magazines, and cofounded the art magazine Monopol. His previous four books have sold over one million copies.

Swear Down Russ Litten
One murder, two confessions – who didn’t do it? A young gang leader is found stabbed on an East London estate, but when Detective Sergeant Ndekwe takes on the case – his first – he finds two different men ready to confess to the murder. Ndekwe suspects there’s more to the case than is suggested by his colleagues’ acceptance of a seemingly straightforward confession by a teenager with a police record. He is being steered towards the easy conclusion, but what about the ex-merchant seaman in his sixties who confesses too? As we listen to their stories – to the lives of the alienated and unheard – a heartbreaking and suspenseful story of betrayal emerges.
‘Compelling and utterly convincing - this is real life, not just a crime story’ Jake Arnott ‘Swear Down is one of those rare novels that has it all. It is gritty, big-hearted and most of all, true. A stunning, unputdownable read’ Jenn Ashworth
Russ Litten has written drama for television, radio and film. He currently works as a writer in prisons and lives with his family in Kingston Upon Hull.
