Tóibín C: The News from Dublin / LF

The News from Dublin

One Sun Only

“Self is the most daring and delightful novelist of his generation.”—Guardian
A blistering, refracted novel from the Booker-shortlisted author, elegantly bookending his Geoffrey Faber Memorial award-winning story collection The Quantity Theory of InsanityIn The Quantity Theory of Morality, Will Self’s unconventional new novel, his pen remains dipped in vitriol and elegance as ever. The disaffected, middle-class, middle-aged urbanites that populate the refracted parallel chapters seem helpless to stop the decay of their intimate, self-conscious social circle. And yet, as Self’s skewering (and self-skewering) grows ever more wildly imaginative, targeting faith, death, money, queerness, Jewishness, and nearly every piece of our social fabric’s connective tissue, it becomes all too clear that the decay cannot simply be cut out—their lives are rotten to their core.With recurring—if defeated—appearances from now-canonical characters like Zack Busner, the repetition of each chapter, or “Proposition” shows Will Self to be a master of satire and even slapstick humor as well as a sublime, thoughtful critic of the alienation of modern life. The Quantity Theory of Morality elegantly bookends Self ’s Geoffrey Faber Memorial award-winning story collection The Quantity Theory of Insanity, which Martin Amis likened to a cross between “a manic J. G. Ballard and a depressed David Lodge.” Although, as ever, “Will Self ’s world is all his own.”

The Quantity Theory of Morality

Myths, Gods & Immortals

Odysseus, a hero or a deceiver? An awesome new title, with fresh stories exploring identity, mythology and stereotypes. Odysseus is the cunning wanderer from the fall of Troy, breaker of oaths and teller of tales. His story is immortalised in Homer's Odyssey and will endure as long as humanity, forever capturing the imagination, not least because of the entities he meets along the way: the savage Cyclops Polyphemus, the enticing Sirens, and fearsome Scylla and Charybdis. He is considered a hero, but do we see him as the ancients did? Is he truly a hero when we know that – like many male heroes of myth – he was a killer, an adulterer, a liar and an all-round deceiver? Created through open submissions and supported by an extensive introduction examining the origins of Odysseus, this is a wonderful new book in the best tradition of Flame Tree's collectable hardcover editions. About the series: Discover the mythology of humankind through its heroes, characters, gods and immortal figures. Myths, Gods &amp; Immortals brings together the new and the ancient, familiar stories with a fresh and imaginative twist. Each book brings back to life a legendary, mythological or folkloric figure, with new stories alongside a comprehensive introduction which tells the original tales and emphasizes ancient and modern connections, tracing history and stories across continents, cultures and peoples. New and emerging writers from open submissions reveal hidden themes, casting fresh perspectives on well known stories, complementing the specially commissioned story of the origins and the cultural background from the era. The first titles are Medusa, Odin, Circe, Anansi, Achilles, Morgana le Fay, Loki and Aphrodite.

Beyond and Within

From the team that created Folk Horror short stories, here's a striking, terrifying, thoughtful and beautiful new book of short stories by award winning authors and new voices too. An impressive new anthology of horror stories exploring what it means to be ‘witch’, including the rediscovery and reclaiming of that power, its links to nature, and witchcraft mythology from around the world. Award-winning anthologists Marie O'Regan and Paul Kane have commissioned and chosen an outstanding selection of tales, with contributions from authors including Ally Wilkes, Eliza Chan, Angela Slatter, Gabriella Buba and Lisa L. Hannett. Five brand new stories have also been selected from a popular open submissions call. Flame Tree Beyond and Within short story collections bring together tales of myth and imagination by modern and contemporary writers, carefully selected by anthologists, and sometimes featuring short stories from a single author. Overall, the series presents a wide range of diverse and inclusive voices with myth, folkloric-inflected short fiction, and an emphasis on the supernatural, science fiction, the mysterious and the speculative. The books themselves are gorgeous, with foiled covers, printed edges and published only in hardcover editions, offering a lifetime of reading pleasure.
