Timmers Leo: The Monster in the Lake

The Monster in the Lake

THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE • A cult classic and Los Angeles Times Book of the Year, this sharp, insightful novel by New Yorker contributor Han Ong explores racial and social hierarchy, personal identity, and alienation. William Paulinha—a resourceful gay Filipino sex worker barely getting by in New York—is determined to turn his life around when he crosses paths with Shem C., an on-the-rise author now disgraced and exiled from both his marriage and the city’s literary inner circle. Furious at the world that cast him out, Shem finds in the intelligent and pliable William the perfect accomplice for his plans. Under Shem’s tutelage, William reinvents himself as “Master Chao,” an enigmatic Feng Shui consultant catering to New York’s wealthiest and most self-satisfied classes. As doors swing open and fortunes are arranged and rearranged, William is pulled ever deeper into the private anxieties and secret desires of the powerful, discovering just how much people will pay to believe that even their moral rot can be purified and saved. Blending razor-sharp satire with tenderness and psychological insight, Fixer Chao traces a dazzling ascent built on illusion and audacious transformation. By turns funny, devastating, and electrifying, Ong’s writing asks what it takes to remake oneself in America—and what, if anything, remains when the performance finally ends.

Ignite Me Paperback Deluxe Limited Edition

George Lamming—one of the Caribbean’s most powerful literary voices, championed by Richard Wright and Jean-Paul Sartre—reimagines the age of European exploration in a work that stands as one of the great political novels of the twentieth century Under imperial orders, a nameless Commandant sets sail sometime between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, bound for the legendary island of San Cristobal—a place whispered about in maps and myths, promised as a prize of empire. The voyage is meant to secure glory and dominion. Instead, it begins to unravel. As weeks at sea stretch into obsession, the expedition becomes a dangerous test of authority and belief. The Commandant’s power is absolute yet increasingly fragile; his crew is caught between obedience and doubt. What begins as a mission of discovery turns into a voyage haunted by fear, desire, and the unspoken violence at the heart of conquest. Told through shifting perspectives and charged with poetic intensity, Natives of My Person plunges readers inside the imperial imagination at the moment it begins to crack. George Lamming transforms the historical voyage into a gripping psychological drama—one that exposes the ambitions, illusions, and brutal consequences of empire. Urgent, unsettling, and fiercely original, Natives of My Person, Lamming’s masterpiece, reveals how conquest reshapes not only the world, but the minds that seek to rule it. “George Lamming is not so much a novelist as a chronicler of secret journeys to the innermost regions of the West Indian psyche. . . an uninhibited journey to the heart of the colonizer.” —The New York Times
