Dixon Glenn: The Infinite Sadness of
Small Appliances

The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances

'I loved it' Matt Haig

LONGLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2026 'Zings and smarts in all the right places . . . breathtakingly original, profound but with a delicious dose of irreverence' INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2026 JUDGES 'Brilliantly funny, poignant and timeless . . . This newly Booker Prize-longlisted novel is ripe for book club discussions and is not recommended for public transport reading in case you, like this reviewer, miss your stop' READINGS BOOKS, Melbourne 'An entertaining, thought-provoking piece of fiction' A Life In Books 'Simple, delicate, delicious prose that delivers from the very first story' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW 'Smart, clever . . . such a brilliant read!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW _______ 'You know, love is love, he says. But what about the revolution?' Intricately built and wickedly humorous, these five interconnected short stories are all about one thing: money. From an interview with a child-star-turned-thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning marital bliss to keep their inheritance, Ia Genberg carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people. What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? Small Comfort skewers its characters, slyly implicating the reader along the way. A brilliantly original and thought-provoking collection from the author and translator of The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize. More praise for Small Comfort: 'A delightful and exquisitely executed literary mini-study that brings to mind Joan Didion' - Expressen 'Her humour and delight in language make the stories crackle with life' - Svenska Dagbladet 'I haven't read anything better this year' - Sydsvenskan 'Genberg captures, with intelligence and insight, the afflictions of our time' - Göteborgs-Poste Praise for Ia Genberg: 'Miraculous' - Hernan Diaz, author of Trust 'I wish I could write like this' - Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove 'So good that I kept underlining passages so I could reread them later' - Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 'Mesmerizing and hot to the touch' - Catherine Lacey, New York Times

Longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026

Small Comfort

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A man must fight for his planet against impossible odds when gamers from Earth attempt to remotely annihilate it in this epic, fast-paced novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl. All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do was run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family’s aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. He figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there’s a complication. Even though the settlers were promised they’d be left in peace, Earth’s government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Industries is hired to commence an “eviction action.” But maximizing profits will always be Apex’s number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their homes? The game is called Operation Bounce House. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who’ve paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he’s ever known.

“Elana K. Arnold paints prose like a master. A fascinating journey through time, love, and forgiveness.” – A.S. King, Printz Award-winning author of Dig Award-winning author Elana K. Arnold returns with a boldly visionary, deeply felt story that crosses space and time to examine loss and love in a world on the brink.It is the late summer of 2021, and a girl named Nora is on the Paris Metro. Nora, whose mother loved her, even though Nora was broken. Nora, who couldn’t help her mother when her mother needed her most. Nora, from whom the pandemic has taken nearly everything, save the object she clings to: a cylinder containing her mother’s ashes. With no family left, no friends to speak of, and no way to turn back time, Nora has come to France to keep a promise she never got to make: to spread the ashes in a place her mother never got to see. But instead, Nora finds herself on the run through a forest in the night, taking refuge in a dark holloway. And when she wakes, and tries to make her way back to something she recognizes, she realizes that is impossible. Because it is no longer 2021. Questioning everything—including her own sanity—Nora sets out on a journey through a time and place completely foreign to her, and yet one that, much like the time and place she came from, is defined by death, loss, fear, and uncertainty. A journey in which she must find a way to honor her mother—and heal herself—in a world that feels irrevocably broken.

For fans of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Miranda July comes a whip-smart, irresistible novel about a college senior who has 48 hours to sell her recently deceased mother's surprise stash of rare pills, or suffer the consequences. &nbsp; Arvy Keening is just trying to get through the week. Tantalizingly close to leaving her college years at Westheimer University behind, all she has to do is pass her finals, pack up her life, and ship off to San Francisco for a prestigious Big Pharma internship. The problem? Arvy just found 200 hits of Molly in her dead mother’s closet. And when two drug dealers come to collect what they are owed, they reveal that the pills are not Molly, but Mona—a rare pharmaceutical that induces intense orgasms. The dealers give Arvy an ultimatum: Sell 200 Monas in 48 hours or die. &nbsp;&nbsp; To aid in her seemingly impossible quest, Arvy recruits Wolf, Westheimer's resident drug dealer who also happens to be infuriatingly charming and distractingly sexy. In a race against the clock, Arvy and Wolf barrel through their college town, leaving a series of erotic shenanigans in their wake; appealing to horny co-eds, lonely barflies, and a mysterious sorority whose sisters have their own ideas for Mona’s potential uses. But if Mona has a knack for unleashing visceral reactions in the body, what will it unlock in Arvy, who has been repressing grief over her mother’s death for weeks? &nbsp;&nbsp; Unashamedly brash, bold, and blistering, 200 Monas is a truly one-of-a-kind read, a playful and honest examination of sexuality and grief, and a sharp, searing love letter on how to release all that’s inside you. &nbsp;

BEAR Daughters. Warriors. Lovers. "There is the love that is thrust upon us, and love that we choose. Run after the latter, no matter what gods and men say, and never let it go. Or at least, never let yourself look back." Medea, born to the goddess Hekate and wicked King Aeetes, endures a lonely and trapped life on the island of Colchis. Yet as she grows, so do her powerful talents of witchcraft and magic. When Jason, Prince of Iolcus, and his band of Argonauts arrive on the island, Medea knows it is her one chance to escape. If she helps Jason steal the Golden Fleece from her father, he promises to marry her and take her back to his kingdom. Atalanta, raised by bears, is a warrior caught between the wilderness and the human world, but never fully part of either. After the sudden disappearance of the woman she loves, Atalanta joins the Argonauts in an attempt to find her. But when Medea joins the ship, the sorceress awakens something in Atalanta that she cannot ignore - something more dangerous than she could ever have imagined. As the ship sets sail, Medea and Atalanta will be forced to choose between the life they always wished for, and a love they secretly desire - but in a world ruled by men, it might just destroy them...

Don't miss the next stunning, exciting and hotly-anticipated feminist retelling of one of the greatest love stories in Greek mythology, Jason and the Argonauts, but for the first time told from Atalanta and Medea's perspective.

One Dark Night

Carcosa

Ein Raumschiff strandet auf einem fernen Planeten, buchstäblich am Ende des Universums. Die kleine Gruppe von Frauen und Männern findet sich in einer lebensfeindlichen Einöde wieder und muss versuchen, auch nur die ersten Tage gemeinsam zu überstehen. Als die Männer stattdessen hochfliegende Pläne schmieden, wie diese Welt zu 'kolonisieren' sei, kommt es zur Katastrophe ... 
Mit ihrem erstmals 1976 erschienenen Roman "Wir, die wir sehr bald ..." verfasste Joanna Russ die definitive Antithese zu den Werken ihrer männlichen Kollegen: Hier tragen keine strahlenden Helden die Zivilisation in die Weiten des Weltraums hinaus. Hier stellt sich eine Frau den existenziellen Fragen des Daseins. Bis zur letzten Konsequenz. // Der abschließende Band unserer Russ-Werkausgabe enthält außerdem zwei längere Erzählungen, eine Folge repräsentativer Buchkritiken und einen Essay aus der dritten Schaffensphase der Autorin.
