Gracias N: Trois nouvelles désinvoltes

Trois nouvelles désinvoltes

In a provocative novel addressing contemporary immigration by the sharply observant Lionel Shriver, a New York family takes in a Honduran migrant—who may or may not be the innocent paragon she claims to be.Gloria Bonaventura, a divorced mother of three living with her 26-year-old son Nico in a sprawling house in Brooklyn, decides to participate in a new city program that would pay her to take in a migrant as a boarder. Gloria is thrilled when sweet, kind, helpful Martine arrives. But Nico is skeptical. A classic live-at-home Gen Zer with no interest in adulthood, Nico resents any interruption of his “hovercraft repose.”As the months go by, Martine endears herself to both Nico’s sisters, while finding her way into Gloria’s heart and even, briefly, Nico’s. But as Martine’s disturbingly dodgy compatriots begin to show up, Nico conceives a dark twin hostile to both his mother’s altruism and the “migrant crisis” in general—and turns out to be anything but a reliable narrator himself.Based loosely on a program a New York City mayor&nbsp;floated but did not initiate,&nbsp;A Better Life&nbsp;is Lionel Shriver at her best: smart, funny, and sensitive to the moral nuances of perhaps the most divisive issue of our times.

A Better Life

From the author of How to Be Eaten, a “darkly funny, deeply incisive” (Booklist) take on the campus novel that follows a woman on the edge gigging her way through academia’s poor job market when she crosses paths with her old PhD adviser, whose new novel might be about her. A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2026 * “Tense...Witty...Impeccably written.” —Glamour, Best Books for Book Clubs 2026 * “A unicorn...Truly thought-provoking.” —Bustle, Best New Books of March Sam, an adjunct professor at a public university in Baltimore, takes a last-minute position at the private liberal arts college down the road. Overworked and underpaid, she lives in a blur of back-to-back classes, side hustles, and job applications for an ever-dwindling number of tenure-track jobs. Her already precarious existence is thrown into disarray when she runs into her former grad school adviser, Dr. Tom Sternberg, on campus. Tom and Sam have a complicated history, and it’s the last thing she wants to think about as she navigates academic politics, institutional hurdles, and romantic entanglements with men and women that further complicate a sexuality not even she can define. Then she learns that Tom left his old job for undisclosed reasons—and his long-awaited second novel is about a professor reckoning with his checkered past. As rumors spread that Sam is the inspiration behind a central character, she fights to regain control of the story. An “entertaining, provocative” (Brooklyn Rail) look at how hustle culture has come to define modern academia, The Adjunct offers a bold twist on a tangled MeToo story and turns Sam’s downward spiral into a searing critique of class and the hollow promises of the American dream.

A Novel

The Adjunct

“A brilliant amalgamation of history, literature, horror, humor and humanity, unfolding with page-turning energy.”&nbsp;— Petalama Argus-CourierFrom&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Christopher Moore comes a hilariously deranged tale of a mad scientist, a famous painter, and an undead woman’s electrifying journey of self-discovery.Vienna, 1911. Gustav Klimt, the most famous painter in the Austrian Empire, the darling of Viennese society, spots a woman’s nude body in the Danube canal. He knows he should summon a policeman, but he can’t resist stopping to make a sketch first. And as he draws, the woman coughs. She’s alive!Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the formerly-drowned girl. She’s nearly feral and doesn’t remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory.With a little help from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man named Victor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld.So how did she get here? And why are so many people chasing her, including Geoff, the giant croissant-eating devil dog of the North?Poor Things meets Bride of Frankenstein in Anima Rising, Christopher Moore’s most ingenious (and probably most hilarious) novel yet.

Anima Rising

Toru Okada's cat has disappeared. His wife is growing more distant every day. Then there are the increasingly explicit telephone calls he has recently been receiving. As this compelling story unfolds, the tidy suburban realities of Okada's vague and blameless life, spent cooking, reading, listening to jazz and opera and drinking beer at the kitchen table, are turned inside out, and he embarks on a bizarre journey, guided (however obscurely) by a succession of characters, each with a tale to tell. WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR 'Visionary...a bold and generous book' New York Times 'Murakami weaves textured layers of reality into a shot-silk garment of deceptive beauty' Independent on Sunday 'Deeply philosophical and teasingly perplexing, it is impossible to put down' Daily Telegraph 'Mesmerising, surreal, this really is the work of a true original' The Times

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

In his subversively funny first novel, the bestselling author of Fresh Off the Boat delivers a portrait of a haunted manchild and his messy search for love, with hilarious and insightful takes on sex, dating, food, culture, intimacy, and masculinity along the way. “Come for the satirical millennial cringe and over-the-top luxury lifestyle fantasy, stay for the surprisingly sensitive portrayal of a bombastic, bighearted Asian American dudebro who risks it all for a chance at the real thing.”—Jean Chen Ho, author of Fiona and&nbsp;Jane Hubie lives an exciting life. He hosts a traveling food show, works with his best friend, and samples the best the world has to offer. There’s only one problem: his love life. Hubie treats his romantic partners as courses on a tasting menu. His one rule when it comes to love: three months and it’s over. Hubie is no hubby. Then he meets Anastasia, a mysterious woman who seems to share his approach to life—she wants fun, sex, and the freedom to depart before dawn. They have chance encounters in glamorous locations around the world—a luxury spa in the Utah desert, a cliffside hideaway in Jamaica, exclusive Los Angeles parties—where they party and flirt with electric energy, but are always with other partners. When they finally connect, the chemistry is undeniable. Just as they find a way to be together, the specters of their pasts—the secrets and burdens beneath their carefree exteriors—arise to threaten everything.&nbsp;Will they truly embrace each other, flaws and all? Can they shake off shame, regret, and the lingering weight of old wounds to open themselves fully to love? Sharply comic but with hidden depths, Come Undone is about how we run from love and how it hunts us down.

"A compelling biography of one of our nation's greatest journalists. Outstanding." -Henry Louis Gates, Jr.,&nbsp;Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University"Well-reported and -researched."-Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Elon MuskThe definitive account of the life and work of Garry Trudeau, creator of the massively popular Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoon Doonesbury, based on archival sources and original interviews, including with Trudeau himself, and lavishly illustrated with over 200 cartoons and images.Drawing on extensive interviews with Trudeau, his friends, fellow cartoonists, prominent journalists, and even politicians who were mocked in the strip, as well as previously unmined archival materials, Trudeau &amp; Doonesbury serves as an alternative history of the last 50 years of American life and is an entertaining romp through Trudeau's singular career.Biographer Joshua Kendall tells the story of the cartoonist and what drove him to put pen to paper. He traces Trudeau's boyhood in the Adirondack Mountains, his teenage angst in prep school, and his formative years at Yale, where he began drawing his iconic strip.And he shows the changing world it reflected; Doonesbury began appearing in papers nationwide in 1970, and big events, from Watergate to the war in Vietnam, fueled its popularity and its significance.For more than 50 years, Doonesbury has helped drive the national conversation. The first comic strip to win a Pulitzer Prize, Garry Trudeau's sprawling narrative featuring a host of beloved characters has reflected America back to itself, capturing the highlights and lowlights of American politics and culture with wit and penetrating insight. And as Doonesbury's characters aged alongside their creator, Trudeau became one of the preeminent chroniclers of the Baby Boom generation.A unique and compelling biography of both the individual behind Doonesbury and the times he has chronicled,&nbsp;Trudeau &amp; Doonesbury is also a&nbsp;lavishly illustrated, full-color coffee table book featuring more than 200 cartoons, making it perfect for sharing, gifting, and displaying.

Trudeau & Doonesbury: A Biography

Toni hat es nicht leicht: Ihre Mutter eine Schweizerin, ihr Vater Nigerianer, ihr Hautton fällt in die Kategorie Cappuccino Macchiato, serviert an einem lauen Novemberabend (gemäß der offiziellen nationalen Kategorisierung Andersfarbiger). In ihrer Familie befindet sie sich direkt im Auge eines Orkans aus unberechenbaren Obsessionen und Leidenschaften - für Liebe, Versicherungspolicen, Affären und Gartenzäune.
 

 Derweil ist das Modeunternehmen von Frau Bodeca einem veritablen Shitstorm ausgesetzt. Um den Vorwurf des Rassismus zu entkräften, entschließt sie sich, eine Soap Opera mit ausschließlich schwarzen Darstellern zu produzieren. Als sich die Wege von Frau Bodeca und Toni kreuzen, drängt sich die Frage auf: Ist das Leben nicht selbst die billigste Seifenoper?

Frame 37

Die brillante Unternehmerin Lillian Cutting ist so erfolgreich und unabhängig, wie es eine Frau um 1880 nur sein kann. Auf ihrem eigensinnigen Weg nach oben hat sie gegen alle gesellschaftlichen Konventionen verstoßen und ganz New York gegen sich aufgebracht. Dort ist man sich einig: Diese Frau muss verschwinden. Ein für alle Mal. Koste es, was es wolle. Dabei hätten alle damit rechnen können, dass Lil ihre Freiheit, ihre Würde und ihr Vermögen niemals opfern würde. Und als es so weit kommt, dass es um ihr nacktes Überleben geht, dreht "Lil the Kill" den Spieß um. 
 
 Sie ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung in New York um 1880, nicht nur unter den herrschenden Familien der Stadt: Lange Zeit hat die Eisenbahnmagnatin Lillian Cutting, an der Seite ihres loyalen Mannes Chev, mit ihrem exzentrischen Führungsstil noch die kühnsten Spekulanten überflügelt. Und sich mächtige Feinde gemacht. So scheint es ihrem Sohn Robert nach Chevs Tod ein Leichtes, Lillian mit Hilfe eines sendungsbewussten Psychiaters zu entmündigen und in eine geschlossene Anstalt wegsperren zu lassen. Aber Lil nimmt den Kampf auf - gegen eine Gesellschaft, die Eigensinn als Krankheit denunziert. Rasant, komisch und unerschrocken schildert Markus Gasser, wie eine furchtlose Frau an ihren hochmütigen Peinigern fantasievoll Rache nimmt. "Lil" ist eine universelle Geschichte voller Zorn und Trost über die Jagd nach dem großen Geld, listige Söhne und unversöhnliche Töchter, das Recht auf einen eigenen Lebensentwurf und über Machtkämpfe, wie wir sie heute noch führen.
