VIKING A sophisticated and entertaining A NOVEL debut novel about an irresistible young woman with an uncommon sense of purpose

From rules of civility:

That New Year’s, we started the evening with a plan of stretching three dollars as far as it would go. We weren’t going to bother ourselves with boys. More than a few had had their chance with us in 1937, and we had no intention of squandering the last hours of the year on latecomers. We were going to perch in this low-rent bar where the music was taken seriously enough that two good-looking girls wouldn’t be bothered and where the gin was cheap enough that we could each have one martini an hour. We intended to smoke a little more than polite society allowed. And once midnight had passed without ceremony, we were going to a Ukrainian diner on Second Avenue where the late-night special was coffee, eggs, and toast for fifteen cents. But a little after nine-thirty, we drank eleven o’clock’s gin. And at ten, we drank the eggs and toast. We had four nickels between us and we hadn’t had a bite to eat. It was time to start improvising . . .

From the beginning, our goal was to find an industry to disrupt. Cars? Apparel? Liquor? We looked everywhere. Then, during a five-hour road trip to a ski resort in northern Michigan, we found ourselves talking about cleaning products. Think about it: The household cleaning aisle is huge, but they’re all the same. Not only do all the established brands look like relics of the 1950s, their formulas are all at parity with one another. Between our advertising and chemical engineering backgrounds, we realized that cleaning products offered the ideal opportunity to combine our passions and skills. We knew we were on to something when, after hours discussing the idea in the car, we were more excited about soap than skiing.

THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA After fifty years—the final volume of Mervyn Peake’s classic Gormenghast novels

Praise for The Gormenghast Novels:

“ A gorgeous, volcanic eruption . . . a work of extraordinary imagination.” —The New Yorker

“ Mervyn Peake is a finer poet than Edgar Allan Poe, and he is therefore able to maintain his world of fantasy brilliantly through three novels. It is a very, very great work . . . a classic of our age.” —Robertson Davies, author of The Deptford Trilogy

“ [Peake’s books] are actual additions to life; they give, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before, and enlarge our conception of the range of possible experience.” —C. S. Lewis

MERVYN PEAKE AND MAEVE GILMORE

Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogy is widely acknowledged to be, as Robertson Davies pronounced, “a classic of our age.” In these extraordinary novels, Peake created a world where all is like a dream—lush, fantastical, and vivid. Yet it was incomplete. Parkinson’s disease took Peake’s life in 1968, depriving his fans of the fourth and final volume of the series, Titus Awakes except for a few tantalizing pages, after which his writing became indecipher- able. Or so it seemed. Photo: The Estate of Mervyn Peake In January of 2010, Sebastian Peake’s daughter found four MERVYN PEAKE (1911-1968) was a playwright, painter, poet, composition books in her attic. They contained the fabled Titus illustrator, short story writer, and Awakes in its entirety. Peake had outlined the novel for his wife, designer of theatrical costumes, as Maeve Gilmore, who had at last finished Peake’s masterpiece. well as a novelist. Among his many books are Gormenghast, Titus Groan It starts with Titus leaving Castle Gormenghast. Peake wrote: and Titus Alone. “With every pace he drew away from Gormenghast mountain, and from everything that belonged to his home. That night, as Titus lay asleep in the tall barn, a nightmare held him.” Fans of Peake will delight in this new, wonderful novel, published one hundred years after his birth, a thrilling and masterfully written coda to his famed trilogy. 978-1-59020-428-3 • The Overlook edition of the complete trilogy of The Gormenghast Novels $24.95 ($31.00 CAN) has sold more than 50,000 copies

THE OVERLOOK PRESS The key to the future through the eyes of the past, this charming book unlocks modern society by journeying back to the Greeks and Romans

From The Ancient Guide To Modern Life:

History was a work designed to last forever: human nature changes very little over time, and we can learn a considerable amount about ourselves if we look hard at our predecessors. But we also need to set our world in relief against ancient societies; to look at how much we’ve changed and how far we have come in all kinds of fields since then. By acknowledging the skill and ingenuity of the ancients, we give ourselves a context. Sure, the Romans had central heating, and that is amazing. But we have central heating and computers as well, and that’s even more amazing. It doesn’t hurt to look back to the past and realize how much we’ve achieved. If nothing else, it enables us to look to the future with optimism and courage, instead of a creeping fear that things inevitably get worse as time goes on.

We left the train station in an awkward silence. Father did not look directly at Maria Cristina after that first glance. He nodded and said a polite, formal hello when I introduced them and then made a fuss over carrying her bag so he could look at it and not her. We climbed into the car with Maria Cristina in the backseat. She was quiet and pensive and I kept looking over my shoulder at her, wondering what she was thinking, then worrying that I was looking at her too much.

Unexpectedly, Father began to speak.

From plugged:

I give myself a moment to get my head back in the game. That’s the most common rookie mistake in the security business: complacency. Thinking I’m big and scary and what fool is gonna take a swing at me, even to impress his girl. The key word in that sentence is fool. They come in all shapes and sizes and most of them are juiced, coked, or both and would take a shot at the devil himself if they thought it would buy them a little respect from their boys or a special treat from a hostess.

So I shut the drawer on Faber and Connie and give the crowd a once over. Couple of college boys eyeing the waitress/hostesses. Few divorcees and old Jasper Biggs playing the big shot. Tossing in one dollar bills like they’re hundreds. No danger signs. Still, I decide to send Jason back here to throw around the steroid stare. Can’t hurt. Sometimes trouble begets trouble.
