‘Probably the best historical crime novel I have ever read’ C.L.Taylor

EDITOR’S LETTER Now that the shock of the New Year is (hopefully) passed we can get on with enjoying the best books 2019 has to offer… well, so far anyway!

If you like your fiction steeped in dusty melancholy and analogue shadows, then Mothlight (p4, Influx Press, 9781910312377, p/b, £9.99) is for you!

An uncanny story – about a deceased lepidopterist and her carer – of grief, memory and the price of obsession.

Or else I Am God (p4, Restless Books, 9781632062147, p/b, £12.99) is the

diary of the Almighty’s (s)existential crisis which ensues when he falls in love… with a human. God has bigger things that could be occupying him, but he can’t tear his eyes (so to speak) from the geneticist who’s unsettlingly avid when it comes to science, sex, and Sicilian cannoli.

Crime lovers will be happy to hunker down with Fade to Grey (p7, No Exit Press, 9780857302892, p/b, £11.99) – a smart, highly contemporary private detective novel set in two vibrant and vividly depicted UK settings: Cardiff and Bristol. Those after something more, erm,

exotic should look no further than The Girl Without Skin (p8, Text, 9781911231226, p/b, £10.99). With its Greenland setting and combination of Inuit folklore, arctic politics, and Viking history, this haunting and brutal thriller from a new master in ice-cold crime ticks a great many boxes!

Meanwhile, in graphic novels, Hobo Mom (p14, Fantagraphics, 9781683961765, h/b, £12.99) is set to stun: this sober and intimate story about an emotionally damaged family and the price of freedom by the creator of The End The Fxxxing World.

Elsewhere Deconstructing the Metabarons (p14, Humanoids, 9781594656484, h/b, £18.99) – the second reference guide to the Jodoverse – focuses on unveiling the secrets of the Universe’s fiercest warrior clan: the Metabarons.

Kids will delight in Bigby Bear (p24, Big, 9781594658068, h/b, £11.99), a series of illustrated vignettes on imagination, science, mathematics, and the life of our planet… shared from the perspective of a curious bear and his furry, for­est-dwelling

friends. In nonfiction Girl Activist (p25, Downtown Bookworks, 9781941367643, p/b, £10.99) will inspire rebel girls and young activists with these illustrated stories of 40 women who have changed the world for the better.

For nonfiction there’s Secrets of the Square Mile (p28, Hoxton Mini Press, 9781910566442, h/b, £17.95) – street photographs which shed light on modern life in the heart of London’s historic financial district, showing the city as never before. We also have Be With: Letters to a Carer (p34, Myriad, 9781912408184, p/b, £8.99). These letters to a long-term dementia caregiver draw on the author’s own years of caring for his mother through the stages of moderate, severe, very severe and late-stage Alzheimer’s. And finally a new ‘oral’ biography of Gabriel García Márquez, Solitude & Company (p29, Seven Stories Press, 9781609808969, h/b, £20), composed of stories and anecdotes told by his friends, family and fans.

Don’t Miss…

The Lost History of the British Anarchists Quail, John; Bantman, Constance & Heath, Nick

In the accounts of the radical movements that have shaped our history, anarchism has received a raw deal. Its visions and aims have been distorted and misunderstood, its achievements forgotten. John Quail, in this first major work, shows a history largely obscured and rewritten following 1919 and the triumph of Leninist communism. The time has arrived to resurrect the works of the early anarchist clubs, their unsung heroes, tumultuous political activities, and searing manifestos so that a truer image of radical dissent and history can be formed. Quail’s story of the anarchists is one of utopias created in imagination and half-realised in practice, of individual fights and movements for freedom and self-expression - a story still being written today.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Recasts the history of British anarchist movements.

• Introduces anarchists of the Socialist League and explores the history of the Freedom group.

• Shows how small groups in London and Sheffield animated working-class movements.

• New afterword by Constance Bantman explores the role of migrant communities in the British anarchist movement.

• With biographical sketches by Nick Heath.

Literature and Memoirs

Kanaris, Leo

The novel shines a light on the most secret and closely guarded sanctuary of Greek life - the family. While the State lurches between dysfunction and bankruptcy, blood relations turn to each other for support. Debts are written off, misdemeanours forgiven, jobs found for unemployables. But if charity begins at home, it also ends there. Networks of obligation bind people so tight they can never escape. Jealousy runs rampant. Nepotism keeps talent suppressed. Crime and corruption are buried in silence. While solving other people’s problems, private investigator George Zakiris gets more deeply entangled in his own. When the offer of work arrives from a polluted family source, he is forced to make an impossible choice between poverty and collusion in crime.

KEY SELLING POINTS • The third adventure for private investigator George Zakiris in crisis-torn Greece.

• Both a state of the nation novel and a thoughtful and engaging crime novel.

• Codename Xenophon and Blood & Gold in the series have received great praise in the UK, US and Germany.

MODERN ART

Huysmans, J K & King, Brendan (trans)

First published in1883 this collection of J.K. Huysmans’ art criticism reveals the author of Against Nature to be as combative in his aesthetic opinions as he was in his literary ones. At a time when the Impressionists were still being ridiculed, or worse still ignored, Huysmans defiantly proclaimed Degas to be the best painter in France. He filled his pages with analyses of the works of artists whose genius and popularity have been confirmed by time: Gustave Caillebotte, Paul Gauguin, Mary Cassatt, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Odilon Redon and Gustave Moreau. Huysmans intersperses his reviews of these independent artists with those of the annual Official Salon, whose conventional and dryly academic works he lambasts with his customary gusto and invective.

KEY SELLING POINTS • This is the first ever English translation of Huysmans’ seminal art book.

• Huysmans is well-known as the author of A Rebours (Against Nature).

• Dedalus have published 10 books by Huysmans, including 8 also translated by Brendan King.

• Includes 200 black and white illustrations, notes and a glossary of artists.

Graphic Novel

I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS Forsman, Charles

Sydney seems like a normal 15-year-old freshman. She hangs out underneath the bleachers, listens to music in her friend’s car - but she also has a few secrets she’s only shared in her diary. Like how she’s in love with her best friend Dina, and those painful telekinetic powers that keep popping up at the most inopportune times. In this new collection of the self-published minicomic series, Forsman expertly channels the teenage ethos in a style that evokes classic comic strips while telling a powerful story about the intense, and sometimes violent, tug of war between trauma and control.

KEY SELLING POINTS • A new and expanded edition of the best-selling collection, featuring over 20 new pages and a new cover!

• The End of the Fxxxing World was adapted into a successful Netflix series.

• Inviting, Charles Schulz-influenced drawing style lends a deadpan quality to Forsman’s work.

• The universal themes of teenage tumult and sexual confusion are relatable and well-executed.

Skelly, Katie

Clover - the ‘pretty’ vampire of the title - is a Bardotesque blonde who dreams of the (now-dead) girl she once was four years ago before becoming a fanged bloodsucker. She is being kept prisoner by her brother, Marcel, who fears Clover will be hunted by the outside world (and who may have other, more selfish motivations as well). Clover’s curiosity, however, will not be suppressed: impetuous, sensual, strong-willed, and fearless, she plans her escape. The resultant havoc would make Dario Argento proud.

KEY SELLING POINTS • A distinctive visual style with Pop sensibilities and serious attitude makes for a visually arresting book.

• Skelly’s style has the potential crossover-appeal with fans of manga such as Vampire Academy.

• Skelly’s strong female characters and sex-positivity is perfect for an underserved, independent graphic novel audience.

Although the information economy promises to create new forms of wealth and social cooperation, the real subsumption of labour under post-Fordism has instead produced a social factory of precarious labour and cybernetic surveillance. Networks become the agent of history, a technological determinism that in the best-case scenario leads to post-capitalism but at worst leads to new forms of exploitation and inequality.

Don’t Network proposes a third option to technocratic biocapitalism and social movement horizontalism, analysing the ways vanguard politics and avant-garde aesthetics can challenge the ideologies of the network society.

KEY SELLING POINTS • Offers a clear analysis of the ongoing class war within contemporary art and politics.

• Marc James Leger is a scholarly expert in Avant Garde.

• Good course adoption potential.

• Proposes a third option to technocratic biocapitalism.
