Peters Torrey: Stag Dance / B

Stag Dance

From the bestselling author of Detransition, Baby

Virago Modern Classics

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY IRENOSEN OKOJIE 'Gloria Naylor is gifted with timeless wisdom, bottomless empathy, and limitless language. Her novels will shine a light for readers and writers for generations to come' Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage, winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction In post-World War II Brooklyn, on a quiet backstreet, there's a little place that draws people from all over-not for the food, and definitely not for the coffee. An in-between place that's only there when you need it, Bailey's Cafe is a crossroads where patrons stay for a while before making a choice: Move on or check out? Patrons include Sadie, the ladylike alcoholic with a mania for cleanliness; Sweet Esther, who caters to unspeakable appetites in a nearby 'boarding house', taking payment only in white roses; and Mariam, the Ethiopian child who may be the bearer of a miracle. Naylor's breath-taking novel is an enthralling fusion of lives whose courage, mystery and humour suggest nothing less than a blues tapestry of America. 'Gloria Naylor was one of the greatest novelists who ever lived. Every single one of her works was masterful, crafted with the kind of rare artistic brilliance that places her in extremely limited company . . . She holds a hallowed place in the canon, and also in hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits' Robert Jones, Jr., author of The New York Times bestselling novel, The Prophets

Bailey's Cafe

From the prize-winning author of The Giant Dark comes a beautiful exploration of the ties that bind us and the scars they leave when they break. Aliyah and Ava arrive in England from opposite corners of the world with dreams built upon Emily Bronte, Brideshead Revisited and Richard Curtis films. Instead, in the shadow of their historic, fairytale campus, they get the sense that they don't belong. The two form a Vita-and-Virginia-like bond, building a world full of stories that they write together. For a time, they are inseparable in their identity as 'strange girls'. When the end of university looms, they will have to return to the world where a devotion like this seems impossible to maintain. Years later, Aliyah has everything Ava wants - a room of her own and a publishing deal - and, worse, the thing Ava was certain neither of them had ever wanted: a sensible doctor husband. Arriving back in London for a mutual friend's hen party, Ava is desperate to unpack the truth of what she really meant to Aliyah. Was what they had - whatever you call it - real? And what will become of the stories they tell themselves about one another?

Utterly unmissable literary fiction

Strange Girls

A timeless historical novel about poetry, music and power by the classic queen of Ancient Greek retellings

A Virago Modern Classic

The Praise Singer

At the age of thirty-eight, Elen finds herself unmoored in one of America's Happiest Cities. Suddenly alone after her husband disappears, she finds herself without a home or job, and spends her days drinking in the shadows of the Cascade Mountains. There she encounters a group of four friends, Luka, Clover, George and Lyn - young, rich, and English. They are wealthy drifters, professional squatters, who tour ski resorts and break into empty Airbnbs. Inspired by the ideas of the 18th century utopian socialist Charles Fourier, they're looking for a new way to be in the world - and to have a good time. When they bring Elen into their fold - and into their messy, entangled romantic relationships - she remains invisibly separated by their privilege, and by the optimism this privilege confers. But she is not immune to their allure - or to the disastrous fallout that threatens to flow from their reckless abandon, the horror never far from the surface of their seemingly perfect lives. Vital, cultish, and at times insufferable - can they give Elen something she doesn't know she needs? And what is it that they want from her? Are darker forces at play in their utopian dreams? A meditation on the often irresistible pull of different ways of living, the dangers and seductive power of youthful idealism, and the slippages between friendship and love, Farewell Bend is a beguiling debut novel, reminiscent of Donna Tartt and Deborah Levy, that examines freedom, friendship, desire, and excess.

Untitled Novel

An anthology of the very best Russian short stories, from the 19th century to today, selected by Sergei Lebedev, author of Untraceable. In A Hundred Voices, celebrated novelist Sergei Lebedev draws together one hundred of the finest Russian-speaking writers from across the centuries. From Alexander Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol, Leo Tolstoy and Vladimir Nabokov, to Nadezhda Mandelstam and Olga Slavnikova, Natalya Meshchaninov and Alla Gorbunova, the new, fresh voices of Russia today rub shoulders with the greats of the past. Together these hundred writers, their hundred voices, sing out together to create a glorious chorus of three centuries of Russian short stories. Reviews for Sergei Lebedev: 'One of Russia's most interesting young novelists' Anne Applebaum 'Lebedev is arguably the best of Russia's younger generation of writers' New York Review of Books 'One of modern Russia's finest writers' Philippe Sands

So Good to See You

The Life and Times of Ota Benga

Arguably the greatest novel of the twentieth century, James Joyce's Ulysses remains as much of a shocking and redemptive testament to the human condition as it was when it was first conceived in 1914. Following the events of a single day in Dublin and the experiences of Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses' ceaseless verbal and formal inventiveness and its astonishing wide-ranging allusions continue to have a profound influence on contemporary culture. A new, annotated students' edition of one of the twentieth century's greatest novels, using the original 1922 text, now the preferred text of Joyce's masterwork, this annotated Student Edition includes extensive notes, line numbers and an introduction by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.
