Fama D: House of Monstrous Women / B

House of Monstrous Women

'This shape-shifting, time-stitching novel grants us special kinds of double-vision: across eras and between species. Under its spell, Amitav Ghosh helps us begin to live multiple lives - to become aware of the porosity and mystery of being, rather than of its fortifications and frontiers' Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive? 'A magical realist novel that believes in magic' Sunday Times'Amitav Ghosh has written with equal distinction in two genres - as a novelist and as a commentator on the climate emergency - and his supple new novel combines both to impressive effect' TLS 'A gripping story of youth and self-knowledge' Abdulrazak Gurnah, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Afterlives Calcutta, September 1969Varsha Gupta wants fish for her lunch. Her family can't understand it; the three-year-old has never tasted fish in her life. The Guptas are strict vegetarians and don't allow it inside their Calcutta mansion. But Varsha claims she can remember another life, a mud house by a river where she caught and cooked fish with a different mother. Perplexed, the Guptas turn to Dr. Shoma Bose, a psychiatrist who has been investigating what are known as 'cases of the reincarnation type' for years. But her understanding of the world is changed forever by Varsha's revelations. Half a century later, Varsha's therapeutic case file catches the attention of a group of environmental activists, and Shoma's nephew Dinu is drawn inexorably into their plans. And as Dinu finds himself caught up in the search for Varsha, buried memories of his own past begin to surface.Travelling between late-sixties Calcutta and present-day Brooklyn, Ghost-Eye is an urgent and expansive novel about family, fate and our fragile planet.'Amitav Ghosh's intellectual panache and serene mastery of form make him one of the last great practitioners of the novel of ideas. Captivating' Pankaj Mishra

Bloomsbury Spectres, Hauntings and Horrors

Exploring current debates in creative writing about the borders between fiction and creative nonfiction, this collection of essays draws on concepts of the uncanny and hauntology to challenge, subvert and transgress the boundary between forms. Hauntology, as originally defined by Derrida, challenges the certainties of ontology, in a similar way to debates about truth in creative nonfiction; by bringing together authors that undermine the fiction/nonfiction binary, Haunted Writing considers the ways in which real events and experiences haunt writers as they craft their work. Offering insight into how the past - both personal and historical - is experienced and understood in the present, this book includes writing from a diverse group of established and emerging authors who situate their work on genre boundaries and discuss their own creative practice to show how their writing 'haunts' real events. With essays covering a range of ideas from subjectivity, intersectionality and challenging dominant versions of history, to braiding personal and researched stories, playfulness, experimentation and creating stories from archival documents, this beautifully written collection intervenes in contemporary discussions in creative writing and culture surrounding ownership, appropriation and ethics. Bringing a fresh voice and new perspectives to ever-present questions within creative writing, Haunted Writing uncovers how the past is a spectre that disrupts contemporary writing.

Lusty, dark, queer fantasy - The Red Winter is perfect for fans of The Witcher and Susanna Clarke. Inspired by the eighteenth-century legend of the Beast of Gévaudan. 'Charming, haunting, ambitious' - T. KINGFISHER, author of Nettle &amp; Bone A devastating love story. A bewitching twist on history. A blood-drenched hunt for purpose, power and redemption. In 1785, Professor Sebastian Grave receives the news he fears most: the terrible Beast of Gévaudan has returned, and the French countryside runs red in its wake. Sebastian knows the Beast. A monster-slayer with centuries of experience, he joined the hunt for the creature twenty years ago and watched it slaughter its way through a long and bloody winter. Even with the help of Sarmodel, the demon he plays host to, bringing the monster down nearly cost him his life. Now, two decades later, Sebastian has been recalled to the hunt by Antoine Avenel d'Ocerne, an estranged lover who shares a dark history with the Beast and a terrible secret with Sebastian. Drawn by both the chance to finish the Beast for good and the promise of a reconciliation with Antoine, Sebastian cannot refuse. Some monsters, it seems, simply won't stay buried . . . 'An absolute feast of a book: rich, red, sinfully delicious' - ALIX E. HARROW, author of Starling House

Risky Business

The acclaimed Top 10 Sunday Times bestseller on our search for love 'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' - Maggie Nelson Shon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye's experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture. Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled. In Love in Exile, Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.

Love in Exile

When their summer settlement is flooded without warning, a family of Sámi women must fight for their way of life in a changing world, in this powerful, haunting novel. 'Heartachingly beautiful' Lisa Ridzén, author of WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH '[An] intimate story of infuriating discrimination' Guardian Every summer, Ingá, her mother Rávdná, and her Aunt Ánne travel west to their village on the lake. But the summer Ingá is thirteen, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disappeared under water, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them. The Home of the Drowned follows these women's fortunes over forty years - from 1942 to 1982 - as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear. Defying the authorities, Rávdná decides to build a house on the lake to replace what was lost, becoming an unlikely activist. Meanwhile, Ánne's health is in decline, and a concerned Ingá merely longs to live like everyone else - an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world. Elin Anna Labba's debut novel brings Sámi history to the fore, revealing connections between land, water and people that hauntingly reverberate with the question: what is it that makes a home? Translated by Elizabeth Clark Wessel 'Powerful... explores memory, marginalisation and what happens when collective wisdom is washed away' Financial Times 'In this story of the struggle of a family of Sámi women... the great saga of humanity seems mystically encoded. . .With the heft of myth and the urgency of activism, this book is a clear-eyed portal into a world of wonder, injustice, resilience, and hope' Damian Le Bas, author of THE DROWNED PLACES

'Unsettling and addictive, glistening with transgressive thrills and erotic appetites' Daily Mail 'Gleefully depraved, gloriously queer and thrillingly bold' Leon Craig, author of Parallel Hells 'A dark delight, steeped in blood red honey' Heather Parry, author of Orpheus Builds A Girl 'A gothic homage to the visceral, haunting, unnerving nature of human connection' Alice Slater, author of Death of a Bookseller 'Full of strange beauty and shining humour' Stylist 'No one writes about the horrific and the erotic, and the tangled up intersections of both, like Kirsty Logan' Anna Bogutskaya, author of Feeding The Monster 'Darkly graceful, innovative, sexy and funny. Kirsty Logan is a jewel' Camilla Grudova, author of The Doll's Alphabet 'Crackling with smarts, marvellously formally varied, deliciously strange' Laird Hunt, author of Zorrie
