Scarlet boards with red metallic spine titles. Red dust jacket which is illustrated and has black and white titles. A less common edition of this title in as new condition. Quichotte, an ageing travelling salesman obsessed with TV, is on a quest for love. Unfortunately, his daily diet of reality TV, sitcoms, films, soaps, comedies and dramas has distorted his ability to separate fantasy from reality. He wishes an imaginary son, Sancho, into existence, while obsessively writing love letters to a celebrity he knows only through his screen. Together the two innocents set off across America in Quichotte's trusty Chevy Cruze to find her and convince her of his love. Quichotte's story is told by Brother, a mediocre spy novelist in the midst of a midlife crisis. As the stories of Brother and Quichotte intertwine, we are taken on a wild, picaresque journey through a country on the edge of moral and spiritual collapse.

The novel, dream-like and melancholy in tone in a manner influenced by modernist writer Franz Kafka, takes place on an island with a setting reminiscent of that in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. An English translation by Stephen Snyder was published by Pantheon Books and Harvill Secker in 2019. "The Memory Police" was named a finalist for the 2019 National Book Award for Translated Literature, as well as for the 2020 International Booker Prize. It was also named a finalist for the 2020 World Fantasy Award. In an article naming it one of the best books of the Summer of 2019, Time wrote, "Ogawa's fable echoes the themes of George Orwell's 1984, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 100 Years of Solitude, but it has a voice and power all its own." The Chicago Tribune called it: "A masterful work of speculative fiction [.] An unforgettable literary thriller full of atmospheric horror." The New York Times compared it to the novels of Samuel Beckett and Kobo Abe, saying "Ogawa's ruminant style captures the alienation of being alive as the world's ecosystems, ice sheets, languages, animal species and possible futures vanish more quickly than any one mind can apprehend." [Wiki] ***A later sixth printing of the first UK paperback edition, in very nice condition. A good reading copy to have. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

The novel was awarded the 2021 Booker Prize, making Galgut the third South African to win the Prize, following Nadine Gordimer and J. M.

The family consists of Manie, his wife Rachel, and their children Anton, Astrid, and Amor. The titular promise in the novel is Rachel's dying wish, in 1986, that their back domestic servant, Salome, be given ownership of a house on the family's property. This promise, overheard by a young Amor, is made by Manie but not fulfilled. After nearly a decade, the siblings reunite at the family farm after their father suffers a fatal snakebite. Anton inherits the house and assures Amor he will follow through on the promise but does not do so. Another decade passes, and tension grows between the siblings as Astrid and Anton resist Amor's appeals to honour the promise and legally transfer the property to Salome, who now lives in it.'

They opened up new worlds and cast light on all the complexities she encountered in this one. She was whisked away to Narnia and Kirrin Island and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. She wandered the countryside with Milly-Molly-Mandy, and played by the tracks with the Railway Children. With Charlotte's Web she discovered Death and with Judy Blume it was Boys. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library or to spend her pocket money on amassing her own at home. In 'Bookworm' Lucy revisits her childhood reading with wit, love and gratitude. She relives our best beloved books, their extraordinary creators, and looks at the thousand subtle ways they shape our lives. She also disinters a few forgotten treasures to inspire the next generation of bookworms and set them on their way. Quite a scarce book.

This vast network of lines has transformed our landscape. In 'Linescapes', Hugh Warwick unravels the far reaching ecological consequences of the lines we have drawn, as our lives and our land were being fenced in and threaded together, so wildlife habitats have been cut into ever smaller, and increasingly unviable, fragments. Hugh Warwick has travelled across the country to explore this linescape from the perspective of our wildlife and to understand how, with a manifesto for reconnection, we can help our flora and fauna to flourish. 'Linescapes' offers a fresh and bracing perspective on Britain's countryside, one that proposes a challenge and gives ground for hope, for while nature does not tend to straight lines and discrete borders, our lines can and do contain a real potential for wildness and for wildlife. Scarce in this first impression.

Francisco Cantu was a US Border Patrol agent from 2008 to 2012. He worked the desert along the Mexican border, at the remote crossroads of drug routes and smuggling corridors, tracking humans through blistering days and frigid nights across a vast terrain. He detains the exhausted and the parched. He hauls in the dead. He tries not to think where the stories go from there. He is descended from Mexican immigrants, so the border is in his blood. But the line he is sworn to defend is dissolving. Haunted by nightmares, he abandons the Patrol for civilian life. And when an immigrant friend is caught on the wrong side of the border, Cantu faces a final confrontation with a world he believed he had escaped. 'The Line Becomes a River' is timely and electrifying. It brings to life this landscape of sprawling borderlands and the countless people who risk their lives to cross it. Yet it takes us beyond one person?s experience to reveal truths about life on either side of an arbitrary line, wherever it is. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).

Kathrine, a priest, is flying home from a Bible seminar, questioning her marriage. Journalist Jostein is out drinking for the night, while his wife, Turid, a nurse at a psychiatric care unit, is on a nightshift when one of her patients escapes. Above them all, a huge star suddenly appears blazing in the sky. It brings with it a mysterious sense of foreboding. Strange things start to happen as nine lives come together under the star. Hundreds of crabs amass on the road as Arne drives at night; Jostein receives a call about a death metal band found brutally murdered in a Satanic ritual; Kathrine conducts a funeral service for a man she met at the airport - but is he actually dead? "The Morning Star" is about life in all its mundanity and drama, the strangeness that permeates our world and the darkness in us all. Karl Ove Knausgaard's astonishing new novel, his first after the "My Struggle" cycle, goes to the utmost limits of freedom and chaos, to what happens when forces beyond our comprehension are unleashed and the realms of the living and the dead collide.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the first UK edition of Knausgaard's novel "The Morning Star", in its original dustwrapper, this copy signed by the author.
