The second volume of the landmark European masterpiece about a woman lost in time.

Volume II / LF

On the Calculation of Volume II

'A literary phenomenon nearly forty years in the making' The Cut

The International Booker Prize-shortlisted European masterpiece continues.

'The greatest literary work of the 21st century' Herald

On the Calculation of Volume IV

Tara Selter is no longer alone. Tara Selter has lived the eighteenth of November 1,143 times when she notices a break in the pattern: a man has changed his shirt. The man is Henry Dale, and he remembers all the days that have come before. He knows that time has fallen out of joint. Now they are two of a kind - trapped in the eighteenth of November, but no longer alone. Together they learn to share their present; their voices grow hoarse recounting their small battles against it and their bewilderment at the disintegrating world. Henry sees things differently to Tara: he does not think that time will put itself back together and he does not think that the future will come around. But he makes her realise that she is no longer the same person she was before this fault in time. And he makes her believe that there may be others to find within it. Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and Winner of the Nordic Council Prize for Literature, On the Calculation of Volume III is the third volume of the poetic, page-turning European masterpiece about one woman's fall through the cracks of time. A New York Times notable book of 2025 'Absolutely, absolutely incredible.' Karl Ove Knausgård 'Endlessly interesting.' Guardian 'A total explosion.' Nicole Krauss 'Extraordinary.' Daisy Johnson 'Unforgettable.' Hernan Díaz 'Breathtaking.' Chetna Maroo 'Absolutely marvellous.' Lauren Groff

Another Man in the Street

"A much-needed dose of comfort and positivity." —Shanna Tan, translator of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop Tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife and will do anything to see his human again . . . if only he can not disrupt the balance of the universe. After a long life with a loving human family, tabby cat Fuuta has passed into the afterlife, but he is not as far from his owner, Michiru, as it seems. Slight openings bridge the divide between the lands of the living and the dead, and they can be traversed. Eager to see Michiru again, Fuuta interviews for a position at Café Pont, a café that exists in the liminal space between the two worlds, known for its unique message delivery service: Customers leave requests with the name of the person they wish to meet, and a messenger cat is assigned to arrange the "meeting." If Fuuta doesn’t maintain plausible deniability, he could cause panic amongst the living, or worse: He could upset the balance of the universe itself. It is a weighty task for an old tabby cat, but Fuuta is up for the challenge. After all, the job offers a special reward: the right to see Michiru. And he’ll do anything to reunite with his family.

Messenger Cat Café

This story collection is a welcome port of entry for any reader not yet familiar with Marguerite Yourcenar's works. Published to great acclaim in France in 1993, this collection is not only a delight for Marguerite Yourcenar fans but a welcome port of entry for any reader not yet familiar with the author's lengthier, more demanding works. This collection includes three stories written between 1927 and 1930 when the author was in her mid-twenties. These stories cover a range of themes, from an allegory on greed and a scene from the war of the sexes to a witch hunt that obsessively creates its own quarry. For the devoted readers of Yourcenar, this collection allows a rare glimpse at the beginnings of a writer's craft. In these accomplished but forgotten pieces, edited and introduced by her biographer, Josyane Savigneau, readers will find the blend of fable and fairy tale of Oriental Tales, the psychological chronicle of Dear Departed, and the ironic realism of A Coin in Nine Hands. Read as an introduction to Yourcenar's work, the stories take us into the writer's workshop, as it were, to the early days of creation. A Blue Tale and Other Stories carries the unmistakable voice of a formidable and vastly talented writer. Marguerite Yourcenar (her pseudonym was an anagram of her family name, Crayencour) was born in Brussels in 1903 and died in Maine in 1987. One of the most respected writers in the French language, she is best known as the author of the acclaimed Memoirs of Hadrian and The Abyss. She was awarded many literary honors, most notably election to the Académie Française in 1980, the first woman so honored.

2026 NAACP IMAGE AWARD WINNER WINNER OF THE LIBBY AWARD FOR BEST SCIENCE FICTIONTHE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERRecommended by New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • Rolling Stone • Los Angeles Times • Reader's Digest • and more!“This one has it all.” — George R.R. Martin • “As delicious as it is disorienting.” — Zakiya Dalila Harris • “Suspenseful, timely, and heartfelt.” — People • “Mind-bending.” — New York Times Book ReviewIn this exhilarating tale by New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor, a disabled Nigerian American woman pens a wildly successful Sci-Fi novel, but as her fame rises, she loses control of the narrative—a surprisingly cutting, yet heartfelt drama about art and love, identity and connection, and, ultimately, what makes us human. This is a story unlike anything you’ve read before.The future of storytelling is here. Disabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing than a lucrative career in medicine or law, Zelu has always felt like the outcast of her large Nigerian family. Then her life is upended when, in the middle of her sister’s lavish Caribbean wedding, she’s unceremoniously fired from her university job and, to add insult to injury, her novel is rejected by yet another publisher. With her career and dreams crushed in one fell swoop, she decides to write something just for herself. What comes out is nothing like the quiet, literary novels that have so far peppered her unremarkable career. It’s a far-future epic where androids and AI wage war in the grown-over ruins of human civilization. She calls it Rusted Robots.When Zelu finds the courage to share her strange novel, she does not realize she is about to embark on a life-altering journey—one that will catapult her into literary stardom, but also perhaps obliterate everything her book was meant to be. From Chicago to Lagos to the far reaches of space, Zelu’s novel will change the future not only for humanity, but for the robots who come next.A book-within-a-book that blends the line between writing and being written, Death of the Author is a masterpiece of metafiction that manages to combine the razor-sharp commentary of Yellowface with the heartfelt humanity of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Surprisingly funny, deeply poignant, and endlessly discussable, this is at once the tale of a woman on the margins risking everything to be heard and a testament to the power of storytelling to shape the world as we know it.“An ambitious, inventive tribute to the power of storytelling itself.” — Nikki Erlick, New York Times bestselling author of The Measure“A deeply felt dazzle. A blaze. It is true deep to the bones.” — Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist and bestselling author of The House of Broken Angels"There’s more vivid imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor’s work than in whole volumes." — Ursula K.

Death of the Author

Ultraviolett Roman

Ein kühnes Spiel zwischen Fiktion und Realität, in dem Obsession und Kunst zu einem tödlichen Tanz verschmelzen. 

 Das Leben eines Theatermenschen gerät völlig aus den Fugen, als der gefeierte Regisseur Mirko Lossewsky ein gewagtes Experiment wagt: Er zwingt seine Schauspieler in eine Inszenierung ohne Grenzen zwischen Bühne und Wirklichkeit. Der junge Martin Sterngrad, für die Hauptrolle im mysteriösen Stück "Eternos" ausgewählt, wird zum Gefangenen eines brillanten Wahns. In der surrealen Stadt des ewigen Lebens verschwimmen die Konturen seiner Identität, während er immer tiefer in das Labyrinth aus Macht, Sehnsucht und Verrat eintaucht.

 

 Während Martin um sein Selbst ringt, offenbart sich das erschreckende Geheimnis hinter Lossewskys Vision: Seine Schauspieler sind mehr als nur Darsteller - sie werden zu lebenden Marionetten in seinem perfiden Spiel. Die Warnungen der Maskenbildnerin Dorothea verhallen ungehört, als das Theater zur Falle wird, aus der es kein Entrinnen gibt.
 

 Für Fans von Arthur Schnitzlers "Der grüne Kakadu", Erin Morgensterns "Der Nachtzirkus" oder Christopher Nolans "Inception" - ein meisterhafter Roman über die zerstörerische Macht der Kunst und die dünne Linie zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn.

Ein atemberaubendes Spiel zwischen Realität und Fiktion

FROM THE AUTHOR OF AS YOUNG AS THIS 'So wryly funny ...

Just months ago, she was living with her fiancé and planning their life together. Now she's single, back in her childhood bedroom, on crutches from knee surgery, and relying on her mother to help her with the smallest of tasks. This isn't how thirty-two was meant to look. When Misty turns to dating apps, she's immediately intrigued by charismatic, handsome Christopher - so intrigued that she doesn't doesn't even notice the acronym 'ENM' on his profile. By the time she discovers that it stands for 'ethical non-monogamy' - and that he's in a long-term open relationship - she already feels such undeniable, dizzying chemistry that she decides to give things a go. And so Misty makes a pact with herself to date Christopher for the next six weeks while his partner is away. It's all part of her plan: she wants to learn to become less attached, and to prepare herself for her next 'real' relationship. But is what she wants really what she needs? 'So enjoyable ... The writing is just so good and moreish. I loved it' Catherine Airey, author of Confessions 'Roxy Dunn is oh so good on love ...
