He lures her over, strangles her, stuffs her body into the washing machine and flees town, whereupon a perilous game of cat-and-mouse begins. A shocking investigation into the despair that traps the rural poor as well as a technically brilliant excursion into the claustrophobic realm of classic horror and suspense, A Perfect Crime is a thrilling and stylish novel about a motiveless murder that echoes Kafka’s absurdism, Camus’ nihilism and Dostoyevsky’s depravity. With exceptional tonal control, A Yi steadily reveals the psychological backstory that enables us to make sense of the story’s dramatic violence and provides chillingly apt insights into a country on the cusp of enormous social, political and economic change. About the author A Yi is a Chinese writer living in Beijing. He worked as a police officer before becoming editor-in-chief of Chutzpah. He is the author of two collections of short stories and has published fiction in Granta and the Guardian. In 2010 he was shortlisted for the People’s Literature Top 20 Literary Giants of the Future. Anna Holmwood translates literature from Chinese and Swedish to English. She was awarded one of the first British Centre for Literary Translation mentorship awards and she co-founded the Emerging Translators’ Network. In 2012 she was elected to the UK Translators Association committee. LPA controls: Translation On behalf of: Peony Literary Agency Publisher: Oneworld Publication: May 2015 Material: Page proofs Length: 224 pages Rights sold: French (Stock), Italian (Metropoli d’Asia) 2 LPA 2015 General fiction HOW YOU SEE ME S E Craythorne 'A tender, poignant story, deftly executed and written in graceful, word- perfect prose. S.E. Craythorne revives an old conceit--the epistolary novel-- while making a modern point: how very hard it is to know ourselves, and so how very hard it is to be understood by others. This is Romeo and Juliet meets Camus' L'Etranger. When I finished the book, it left me gutted, really gutted.' Yann Martel Taut and suspenseful, this powerful novel compulsively unfolds in Daniel’s own hand, exploring the terrifying power of the mind to deceive, not only others but – most frightening of all – ourselves. I’ve probably lied to you. That’s habit. I lie to everyone about my family… Daniel Laird has returned to his remote family home in Norfolk to care for his father. Living an isolated existence – with his father unable to speak and only their brusque housekeeper, Maggie, for company – Daniel describes the strangeness of coming home after an eight-year absence in a series of vivid and passionate letters to his sister, his boss and to Alice, his one true love. But it is not until he discovers a hidden cache of his father’s paintings that the truth begins to surface. The more Daniel writes, the more we learn about the past and about why he left all those years ago – and the more we begin to fear for those he claims to hold dear. About the author S.E. Craythorne is a graduate of the Creative Writing MA at the University of East Anglia. Her poetry and prose have previously been published by Gatehouse Press, Poetry Unbound and ink sweat and tears. In 2013 she was awarded a place on the METAL Culture Lab programme and performed at the Shorelines Festival. An extract from How You See Me was shortlisted for the 2013 Writer’s Retreat Competition and was longlisted the same year for Mslexia‘s Women’s Novel Competition. In 2014, she was awarded Arts Council funding to write her second novel. Brought up on a smallholding in rural Norfolk, S.E. Craythorne has also lived in Manchester and Hong Kong. She has worked as a bookseller, journalist, artist’s model, English teacher and librarian. She now lives and works in Norwich. LPA controls: ANZ, US and translation On behalf of: Myriad Editions Publisher: Myriad Editions Publication: August 2015 Material: Edited manuscript Length: 208 pages 3 LPA 2015 General fiction LIVING WITH IT Lizzie Enfield ‘A compulsively readable what-if story… A surprising page-turner with an extraordinarily haunting conclusion.’ Mail on Sunday, Novel of the Week ‘A compelling read, with a constantly evolving plot that kept me hooked to the end, as well as a vivid, detailed and funny picture of the life of two modern families.’ William Nicholson ‘Written with warmth and humour. For the Allison Pearson market and a sophisticated cut above the norm.’ The Bookseller One-year-old Iris is deaf. Her parents, Ben and Maggie, are devastated. So are their close friends Isobel and Eric. Isobel knows that her decision, taken years ago, not to have her own children vaccinated against measles is to blame for Iris’s deafness. And Ben knows this too. To make matters worse, Isobel is the woman he fell in love with in his twenties – the woman who married his best friend. As he and Maggie start legal proceedings, Isobel’s world begins to unravel. About the author Lizzie Enfield is a journalist and the author of two previous novels, What You Don’t Know and Uncoupled. Her short stories have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and published in various magazines, and her articles regularly appear in national newspapers. She lives in Brighton with her husband and three children. LPA controls: ANZ, US and translation On behalf of: Myriad Editions Publisher: Myriad Editions Publication: July 2014 Material: Finished copies Length: 336 pages 4 LPA 2015 General fiction FRANCIS PLUG - HOW TO BE A PUBLIC AUTHOR Paul Ewen 'One thinks of Goethe: one thinks of Shelley: one thinks of Plug. He is a force of nature, he is sage, bard and prophet: he is in addition a random menace, and at all times you need to know exactly where he is. They say there are no statues to critics. But the fourth plinth awaits Francis. Perhaps he can be chained to it.’ Hilary Mantel ‘It is becoming a cliche to say “Paul Ewen is a comic genius and Francis Plug: How To Be A Public Author is the funniest book in years” – but it's no less true.’ Books of the Year, New Statesman ‘So funny you find yourself giggling helplessly long after you’ve passed the joke… Pure – and purely pleasurable – silliness.’ Times Literary Supplement Salman Rushdie: What an interesting name. Francis Plug. It sounds like the name of a fictional character… FP: Yes, but I’m real. Salman Rushdie: Of course. FP: I’m not a talking mule, for example. In a haunted house. Salman Rushdie: No. [Slight pause.] But as Saleem Sinai says, ‘What’s real and what’s true aren’t necessarily the same.’ FP: Sure. But he also calls his penis a ‘soo-soo’. Salman Rushdie: OK, thanks. Francis Plug, author and residential gardener, is hoping to learn the public-appearance secrets of successful writers. Francis himself is not currently successful as a writer. Or a gardener. But he wants desperately to join the ranks of the bookish. Perhaps a shambolic tour of the literary circuit in a welter of empty glasses, dodgy microphones and bemused authors will be the break he needs. Paul Ewen’s hilarious debut is an affectionate satire on the world of literature with a touch of brilliant, laugh-out-loud slapstick. But more than that, it is a surprisingly touching reflection on alienation and loneliness. About the author Paul Ewen is a New Zealand writer based in South London. His stories have appeared in the British Council’s New Writing anthology (edited by Ali Smith and Toby Litt), and also in the Times Higher Education Supplement and Tank magazine. He has written for Dazed & Confused, and is a regular contributor to Hamish Hamilton’s online magazine Five Dials.

Memorable, startling art, love- infused, aiming to transform the way I, we, see all kinds of difference: gender, race, culture and ability.

  • Paper, I Explore How British Media Portray Immigration from the EU and How That Relates to the Brexit Decision
    Course on The European Union and the Politics of Migration European Studies, The University of Toronto, 2019 Author: Wai Chan How British media portrayed migration from the EU in the context of Brexit Abstract: In this paper, I explore how British media portray immigration from the EU and how that relates to the Brexit decision. I base my arguments from a range of empirical research that analyzed British media’s portrayal of EU immigration prior to the Brexit vote. In the first part, I analyze how British media portrayed the facts of immigration. In the second half, I analyze how British media interpreted implications of EU immigration. I found that British media plays more than a passive role in presenting facts and viewpoints in the Brexit debate, but is active in shaping facts, selectively reporting on the immigration issue and imposing its own analytical frames in explaining the implications of immigration. British media highlighted the massive scale and negative consequences of EU immigration. It most often presents EU immigrants as abusing British welfare system and the EU as eroding British sovereignty. Understanding how the British media influenced public understanding and opinion about EU immigration in relation to British people’s decision to leave the EU has can reveal how the media interacts with public opinion and political reality more generally and will be insightful for future political campaigns. Introduction Background Britons voted in a referendum on June 23rd, 2016 to leave the EU (May, 2017). The decision came as a surprise as many polls prior to the referendum predicted a remain vote (May, 2017).

  • Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master List Revised May 2019
    Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.
