Europa Editions {AUGUST=NOVEMBER 2020 } Europa editions {AUGUST=NOVEMBER 2020 } Europa editions Distributed by PGW The Lying Life of Adults Elena Ferrante Translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein Ferrante’s first new work of fiction in five years “Modern, urgent, truthful.”— The Telegraph Giovanna’s pretty face has changed into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Where must she look to find her true reflection? Her search leads her to two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. Adrift, she vacillates between these two cities. But neither city seems to offer her any answers.

Helen and Frank, both born into high-ranking diplomatic families, meet in Rome as high-school students and immediately detect in each other the wounded child hidden beneath their gilded social status. Their relationship becomes a dangerous, explosive mix of love and friendship. Immediately after Helen’s graduation, they leave their past and family behind to move in together in her apartment in Amsterdam. While Helen immerses herself in her studies and embarks on a promising academic career, Frank, after a few difficult years, makes a spectacular debut on the Dutch Art scene with his first paintings. Helen remains faithfully by his side during his rise to fame, overseeing the domestic details of his life in apparent total self-abnegation. Are introverted Helen and flamboyant Frank who they really appear to be? Are they victims or monsters? Kerninon’s English language debut, full of masterfully orchestrated twists and turns, leaves these simple distinctions behind, and progresses into far more fascinating terrain.

T A M E P P I L I H P © “A musical and remarkably lively portrait.”— Le Monde des livres “[Kerninon’s] talent illuminates every page.”— Le Parisien “Julia Kerninon’s complex and evocative writing depicts strong characters whose numerous doubts and paradoxes remind us of our own. [ My Devotion is a] portrait of the inequalities inherent in each relationship, and the emotional burden that is often placed on women in order to keep these relationships afloat.”— Châtelaine “My Devotion will not last long on your nightstand. It’s not just a novel. It’s a gift.” —Yannick Marcoux, Le Devoir “A superb novel about self-sacrifice.”—Michelle Carpy, ELLE “Julia Kerninon offers us a hypersensitive novel, with chiseled sentences and a melancholy tone. I adored this uncommon love.”—Fanny Morin, ELLE “With an impeccable sense of rhythm, Julia Kerninon enchants us with her magnificent and subtle novel.”—Librairie du Canal “How can such a young woman be so experienced in love, and have such mastery of language, storytelling, and characters?”—Évelyne Bloch-Dano, Le Magazine littéraire 7 A Kingdom of Tender Colors: A Memoir of Comedy, Survival, and Love Seth Greenland One unremarkable day at the age of 37 Seth Greenland finds himself in everyone’s nightmare—a routine doctor visit, some swollen glands, a series of tests, a biopsy, and finally a diagnosis of an aggressive form of lymphatic cancer. A screenwriter and satirist with a blooming career in Hollywood, Seth has felt pretty good about his life until now; suddenly, the world has tipped on its axis. A Kingdom of Tender Colors is a book about cancer—the funny side. With the support of friends and family, Seth launches into an attempt to save his own life without losing either his sanity or his sense of humor. From chemotherapy treatments, to meditation and more alternative treatments, he battles the disease with wit, honesty, and no small amount of sheer terror. There are no pat answers or inspirational revelations here, just one man confronting hopes and fears recognizable to us all—and triumphing. Marketing & Publicity • National and regional Media
