Editor’s Letter Welcome to Turnaround’s April 2017 buyer’s notes! The spring publishing season is in full swing, and we have a bevy of phenomenal titles to fill your shelves. Here are some of our favourites this month: Kicking things off this month is the remarkable account of a woman who rises to power in 17th century Sicily, bringing about sweeping changes before being cast out in a coup after only 27 days – one cycle of the moon.

Revolution of the Moon (p. 5; Europa Editions, 9781609453916, p/b, £10.99) begins on the deathbed of Charles III’s viceroy, the marquis of Castle Rodrigo, who names his wife as his successor. Eleanora de Moura is highly intelligent and capable, applying her political acumen to help those afflicted by poverty – lowering the price of bread, reducing taxes for large families, opening women’s care facilities. But her measures were considered seditious by the Church and men in power, who saw her as a dangerous revolutionary and recalled her to Spain. Based on a true story, Camilleri’s gripping novel tells the story of a woman whose courage and political vision is tested at every step by misogyny and reactionary conservatism.

Another remarkable story, this time a graphic novel, is A Thousand Coloured Castles (p. 16; Myriad Editions, 9780993563300, p/b, £16.99). This follow-up to author Gareth Brookes’ The Black Project (Myriad, 2013, also available from Turnaround) once again twitches the net curtains as the sleepy suburbs of southern England melt into a world of hallucination, taking the reader through the doors of perception into a life where the surreal co-exists with the banal. Brookes has been widely praised by the likes of Paul Gravett, who called The Black Project “Exquisite, excruciating and exceptional. A landmark.” and by Herald, who say Brookes’s work is “Like Cath Kidston embroidering for David Lynch.”

Part of the growing genre of Graphic Medicine titles, A Thousand Colored Castles is set to become a vital resource for patients living with and health practitioners treating Charles Bonnet syndrome, the experience of complex visual hallucinations.

Moving into non-fiction, we have Pulitzer Prize-finalist George David Haskell’s The Songs of Trees (p. 33; Viking Press USA, 9780525427520, h/b, £22.99). David Haskell’s awardwinning The Forest Unseen (Penguin, 2013) won acclaim for eloquent writing and deep engagement with the natural world. Now, Haskell brings his powers of observation to the biological networks that surround all species: trees. Haskell repeatedly visits a dozen trees around the world, exploring the trees’ connections with webs of fungi, bacterial communities, cooperative and destructive animals, and other plants. This stunning and accessible piece of nature writing will show that every living being is not only sustained by biological connections, but is made from these relationships. When we listen to trees, nature’s great connectors, we learn how to inhabit the relationships that give life its source, substance, and beauty.

It’s not just trees that connect us, of course. Signal Failure (p. 34; Influx Press, 9781910312148, p/b, £9.99) explores the proposed route of highspeed train line HS2. Tom Jeffreys set off from Euston Station with the aim to walk the 119 miles from London to Birmingham along the proposed route of HS2. (He failed.) Over the course of ten days of walking, Jeffreys moves from a rapidly changing London, through interminable suburbia, and out into the English countryside, meeting conservationists and museum directors, fiery farmers and suicidal retirees. Signal Failure weaves together poetry and politics, history, philosophy and personal observation to form an extended exploration of people and place, nature, society, and the future. It offers a critique of humanity’s most urgent failures: of capitalism, of community, of the city and the suburbs, of architecture and agriculture, of bureaucratic democracy, and, in the end, of our ageold failure to find our place in the world we live in.

Last but surely not least, we have the 10th and final book in Dedalus’ Eça de Queirós project: The Illustrious House of Ramires (p. 35; Dedalus, 9781910213391, p/b, £9.99). First published in 1900, the year of Eça de Queirós’s death, the book portrays Gonçalo Mendes Ramires, the latest member of an aristocratic family that predates even the kings of Portugal.

Compared to Tolstoy, Dickens, Flaubert and Balzac, Eça de Queirós is considered to be Portugal’s greatest novelist. This brings all of his greatest works into print in English, thanks to translation by the multi-award-winning translator Margaret Jull Costa, recipient of an OBE for services to translation.

PLAINS, THE

Murnane, Gerald & Lerner, Ben (intro.)

There is no novel in all of Australian literature that is quite comparable to The Plains. A nameless young man arrives on the plains and begins to document the strange and rich culture of its families, with intention of producing a film. As his story unfolds, the novel becomes, in the words of Murray Bail, ‘a mirage of landscape, memory, love and literature itself’. The vast, incomprehensible landscape of Australia becomes not a tangible place but an abstract and mythological concept. Published in 1982, this haunting novel has earned its status as a classic.’

KEY SELLING POINTS • A dark, complex morality tale exploring the limits of justice in contemporary Mumbai.

• Dark and gritty, raw and fast-paced, and never sentimental.

Grinker, Lori & Tyson, Mike (intro.)

It all began with an art school photography assignment: Lori Grinker was shooting a project on young boxers under the guidance of the legendary trainer Cus D’Amato. While photographing others, Cus wandered over and asked why Lori wasn’t shooting the bigger kid in the corner working a speed bag - he would one day be the heavyweight champion of the world! The kid was a then 13-yearold Mike Tyson. Lori’s early boxing photographs of Mike Tyson are without peer - little exists from that era and all of Grinker’s work is personal with uniquely privileged access.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Mike Tyson’s redemption in the eyes of the public seems to now be complete.

• These photos show the era in which he went from pauper to king of the ring.

• Tyson has shown up in a number of recent TV shows and films, including The Hangover (2009).

Following his book Against Architecture (PM Press, 2012), Franco La Cecla explores the challenges that cities must confront in the near future. Urban planning and development has become increasingly inadequate in response to the daily realities of life in our cities.

Human, economic, ethnic and environmental factors are overlooked, and anachronistic architecture prevails. A new urban science is required which can, first of all, guarantee a civil, dignified life for all - urban development which ensures the right to a humane mode of daily living, which has been and still is completely ignored.

A secular spirituality based equally on science and science fiction.

PACIFISM AS PATHOLOGY Reflections on the Role of Armed Struggle in North America, third edition Churchill, Ward; Ryan, Michael; Mead, Ed & Rodriguez, Dylan

Pacifism as Pathology is a dissident classic. Originally written during the ‘80s, the seminal essay ‘Pacifism as Pathology’ was prompted by Ward Churchill’s frustration with what he diagnosed as a growing - and deliberately self-neutralising - ‘hegemony of nonviolence’ on the North American left. The essay’s publication unleashed a raging debate among activists in both the US and Canada, a significant result of which was Michael Ryan’s penning of an essay reinforcing Churchill’s premise that nonviolence, at least as the term is popularly employed by white ‘progressives,’ is counterrevolutionary.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Third edition of a dissident classic.

• Challenges the movement’s victories: Gandhi, 1960s antiwar, MLK Jr’s civil rights movement.

SIGNAL FAILURE London to Birmingham, HS2 on Foot Jeffreys, Tom

One November morning, Tom Jeffreys set off from Euston Station with a walking stick and an overloaded rucksack. His aim was to walk the 119 miles from London to Birmingham along the proposed route of HS2.

Needless to say, he failed. In part, this is the story of the author’s shortcomings - his inability to understand the city he lives in and to forge a meaningful relationship with his home-county hometown. It is also a critique of humanity’s most urgent failures: of capitalism, community, the city and the suburbs and our age-old failure to find our place in the world.

KEY SELLING POINTS • An important addition to the growing canon of landscape writing.

• Directly addresses the divisive and controversial topic of HS2 high speed railway.

• First book-length work from a respected and critically well regarded journalist.

• Deals with issues such as capitalism, community, architecture, the city the suburbs, and identity.

LAND WITHOUT BORDERS, A My Journey Around East Jerusalem and the West Bank Baram, Nir

Nir Baram’s generation were bombarded with news about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - the injustices, the wrongdoings, the killings. Over the decades, the horror and despair had become habit - he noticed that people had begun to give up on the possibility of resolution. Yet, as Baram notes, ‘the vast majority of Israelis - as well as international onlookers - know next to nothing about life on the West Bank’. And so began his quest to understand the occupation from both sides. The result is an essential and nuanced journey through places and experiences that receive little coverage.

KEY SELLING POINTS • A reportage of Baram’s journey along the Green Line, the focus of all hopes for Israeli-Palestinian peace.

• Baram is considered one of the most important intellectual voices in Israel today and the young literary conscience of Israel.

• An essential and nuanced journey through places and experiences that receive little coverage.
