Years later, her son, Bekim, grows up a social outcast in present-day Finland, not just an im-migrant in a country suspicious of foreigners, but a gay man in an unaccepting society. His only friend is a boa constrictor. Then, during a visit to a gay bar, Bekim meets a talking cat who moves in with him and his snake. It is this charming, manipulative creature who starts Bekim on a journey back to Kosovo to make sense of his family’s cruel history.

A gripping newly discovered diary from the bestselling diarist and biographer, covering Italy’s descent into war

With an introduction by Lucy

Hughes-Hallett, award-winning author of

The Pike.

In June 1940, Mussolini declared war on Britain and France. The awful inevitability with which Italy stumbled its way into the war is documented here with grace and clarity by one of the 20th century’s great diarists.

This diary, which has never been published before, is the gripping account of the turmoil, the danger, and the dreadful bleakness of Italy in 1939-1940, as war went from a possibility to a dreadful reality.

A Chill in the Air covers the beginning of a war whose catastrophic effects are documented in the bestselling classic War in Val D’Orcia.

Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) was born

in Taganrog, Russia. While training as a

physician he supported his family with

his writing, composing hundreds of short

comic pieces under a pen name. He went

on to write major works of drama, in-

cluding The Seagull, Uncle Vanya and The

Cherry Orchard, but continued to write

prize-winning short stories up until his

death from tuberculosis at the age of 44.

‘The uncontestable father of the modern short story’ Guardian

Chekhov was without doubt one of the great-est observers of human nature in all its messy complexity, and his stories are exquisite masterpieces in miniature. His work ranged from the light-hearted comic tales of his early years to some of the most achingly profound stories ever composed, and this variety of tone and temper is collected in this essential new collection.

Chosen from Chekhov’s life’s work, The Beauties includes many of his greatest works, alongside unfamiliar discoveries, all newly translated. From the masterpiece of minimal-S]W��>RO�,OK_^SO]��^Y�^RO�LOVY`ON�MVK]]SM��>RO�6KNc�aS^R�^RO�6S^^VO�.YQ���KXN�P\YW��<Y^R-]MRSVN�]�0SNNVO��^Y�^RO�LS^^O\Vc�P_XXc��+�6S`SXQ�Chronicle’, the stories here are the essential collection of Chekhov’s greatest tales.

Whatever happened to the books that once existed and can no longer be found? Not the forgotten books, or those never written, but books that were completed, even read, before being destroyed or vanishing into thin air.

These are the mythical books that were burnt, torn, stolen, or simply disappeared, but which certainly existed. Giorgio van Straten is by turns detective and spy, traveller and scholar, as he sifts through clues and interviews to discover the stories of eight lost tomes. His pursuit takes him from Byron’s England to Sylvia Plath’s, to 1920s France and Heming-way, across Gogol’s Russia, to the Spanish P\YX^SO\�aRO\O�AKV^O\�,OXTKWSX�^\SON�^Y��OO�his destiny, from Poland where Bruno Schulz aK]�USVVON��KXN��XKVVc�^Y�K�`SVVKQO�SX�-KXKNK�where Malcolm Lowry took refuge...

This is the story of ten evenings in Frits’s life, as he drinks, smokes, sees friends, aimlessly wanders the gloomy city streets and tries to make sense of the minutes, hours and days that stretch before him.

Leila Guerriero was born in Junín, Argen-

tina in 1967 and moved to Buenos Aires in

1984. She is one of Argentina’s foremost

journalists and writers, and has published

articles in numerous newspapers and

periodicals in South America, Spain and

Italy, including El País, Vanity Fair and

Rolling Stone.

‘An epic of noble proportions’ Spectator

Every year the Argentinian village of Laborde holds the malambo contest. The malambo is a centuries-old gaucho dance, governed by rigid rules and shatteringly demanding. It is the ob-ject of obsession for thousands of young men, aRY�]KM\S�MO�^ROS\�^SWO��LYNSO]�KXN�WYXOc�to try to win the title of Malambo Champion. The twist is that a Malambo Champion may never compete again.

In 2011, Leila Guerriero travelled to Laborde for what was supposed to be a brief inves-tigation into this contest. But one dancer’s performance takes her breath away – he doesn’t win, but Guerriero spends the next year following him in his preparations for the 2012 festival. In this remarkable work Guerri-ero proves herself to be as sharp-eyed as Gay Talese, as lyrical as Norman Mailer.

A thrilling journey in search of the malambo dance of Argentina, and one Gaucho who faces the biggest contest of his life

Jan, a virtuoso pianist is about to go on stage to perform his solo. But the music he hears in his head is not what he is supposed to be playing. As he struggles with this hidden an-guish, he thinks about his high school friend-ship with the magnetic Dirk. It began like a QKWO��aS^R�.S\U�]^OKVSXQ�4KX�]��\]^�QS\VP\SOXN��And it continued like a game – a friendship with an undertone of intimacy and danger.

They go their separate ways, but when they reunite as adults, Jan wonders: is Dirk really who he appeared to be, and was their friend-ship in fact real, life-long love?

In this powerful debut, Eric Beck Rubin con-jures up a moving tale full of music and raw human emotion with a virtuoso touch.

‘An outstanding debut novel’ Newtown Review of Books

Caleb Zelic, deaf since early childhood, has al-ways lived on the outside – picking up telltale clues in a smile, a cough, a kiss.

When a childhood friend is murdered, a sense of guilt and a determination to prove his own innocence sends Caleb on a hunt for the killer. But he can’t do it alone. Caleb and his partner Frankie, an ex-cop, start with one clue: Scott, the last word the murder victim texted to Caleb. But Scott is always one step ahead.

This gripping, fast-paced crime thriller is set between a city and a small coastal town – Resurrection Bay. As he delves deeper, Caleb uncovers unwelcome truths about his murdered friend – and about himself.

A Melbourne-based debut thriller from one of Australia’s brightest new crime-writing talents
