'Irresistible' 'Fabulous''Gripping'Daily TelegraphObserverThe Sunday TimesIn a jazz bar on the last night of 1937, watching a quartet because she couldn't afford to see the whole ensemble, there were certain things Katey Kontent knew: the location of every old church in Manhattanhow to sneak into the cinemahow to type eighty words a minute, five thousand an hour, and nine million a yearand that if you can still lose yourself in a Dickens novel then everything is going to be fine.By the end of the year she'd learned:how to live like a redheadand insist upon the very best;that riches can turn to rags in the trip of a heartbeat,chance encounters can be fated, and the word 'yes' can be a poison.That's how quickly New York City comes about, like a weathervane, or the head of a cobra. Time tells which.'A delicious and memorable novel that will leave you wistful - and desperate for a martini.' Stylist

The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Trust turns to the future with a novel that examines the place of technology in the American imaginationCenturies from now, at the dawn of a historical epoch filled with both uncertainty and promise, an orphan is adrift in a city on the brink of a great transformation. The state has been dismantled, and humans are reinventing social bonds and learning new ways to coexist with nature. Following a childhood defined by loss, survival, and found family, the orphan grows up to become a “pincher,” someone who steals electricity from the grid to sell it on the black market. It’s a high-risk life, one that brings her into a rich art and music scene where she powers underground concerts. It also leads her to a colossal scientific invention that could change the very fabric of reality.After rewriting America’s past with his two previous novels, Hernan Diaz defies expectations with his third and gives us a breathtaking glimpse into the future. A major achievement from a major contemporary writer, Ply questions the place of technology in the American experiment with a plot that grabs both heart and mind. It is a novel of ideas built from a story of people. Combining Dickensian odyssey, family drama, and scientific thriller, Ply poignantly charts the tenuous boundaries of selfhood and the distance that inevitably stands between us and those we love.

Ein klarer Tag
Eine einsame Shetlandinsel. Zwei Männer aus unterschiedlichen Welten. Eine zerbrechliche Freundschaft. Dies ist eines der Bücher, die man unmöglich vergisst.Es ist ein kalter Sommertag 1843, als John Ferguson nach einer stürmischen Überfahrt die kleine, karge Insel im Nordmeer erreicht. Für einen Monat ist der verarmte Pfarrer von der schottischen Freikirche hierhergeschickt worden, um Ivar, den letzten verbliebenen Bewohner, von der Insel wegzuschaffen. Im Auftrag des Gutsbesitzers soll er den großen, stillen Mann samt seinen wenigen Habseligkeiten mit dem nächsten Schiff nach Aberdeen bringen, von seinem Zuhause verjagen. So wie all die Schafbauern in den Highlands, die im Zuge der 'Clearances' bereits alles verloren haben. Trotz moralischer Bedenken hat der idealistische Ferguson diesen Auftrag angenommen. Seine Frau Mary indes befürchtet, dass ihr Mann nicht von dieser Reise zurückkehren könnte. Zu naiv, zu weltfremd, zu gutgläubig ist er. Und tatsächlich stürzt Ferguson schon kurz nach seiner Ankunft von einer Klippe und verletzt sich schwer. Er ist dem Mann ausgeliefert, den er von dem Eiland vertreiben soll. Und dessen Güte Fergusons Gewissen vor eine schwierige Entscheidung stellt.

Trust
Dopo l'uscita di un romanzo mendace e offensivo sulla sua vita, Andrew Bevel, diventato milionario speculando sul crollo del '29, assume la giovane figlia di un anarchico italiano, Ida Partenza, perché lo aiuti a scrivere un'autobiografia che racconti la verità sui suoi successi e sulla sua defunta moglie, Mildred. Ma nella figura della donna c'è qualcosa che Ida non riesce a inquadrare e, quando Bevel muore improvvisamente, è costretta a lasciare il lavoro incompiuto. Solo trent'anni dopo, grazie agli archivi della Fondazione Bevel, troverà il diario di Mildred, prezioso tassello mancante dell'enigma. Quattro testi, quattro generi letterari, quattro voci, quattro punti di vista: un raffinato gioco di specchi per ricostruire le scelte di un leggendario uomo d'affari e la figura polimorfa della donna che è stata l'artefice misconosciuta della sua fortuna.
