Landscape with Invisible Hand
by M. T. AndersonWhen the vuvv first landed, it came as a surprise to aspiring artist Adam and the rest of planet Earth -- but not necessarily an unwelcome one. Can it really be called an invasion when the vuvv generously offered free advanced technology and cures for every illness imaginable? As it turns out, yes. With his parents' jobs replaced by alien tech and no money for food, clean water, or the vuvv's miraculous medicine, Adam and his girlfriend, Chloe, have to get creative to survive. And since the vuvv crave anything they deem "classic" Earth culture (doo-wop music, still-life paintings of fruit, true love), recording 1950s-style dates for the vuvv to watch in a pay-per-minute format seems like a brilliant idea. But it's hard for Adam and Chloe to sell true love when they hate each other more with every passing episode. Soon enough, Adam must decide how far he's willing to go -- and what he's willing to sacrifice -- to give the vuvv what they want.
Landscapes
by Christine LaiA darkly absorbing, prismatic debut novel from Christine Lai, set in a near future that is fraught with ecological collapse and geopolitical upheaval, Landscapes explores memory, empathy, and art as an instrument for recollection and renewal. In a ruinous country house in the now barren English countryside--decimated by heat and drought--and in a dusty library damaged by earthquake and floods, Penelope archives what remains of the estate&’s once notable, now diminished, art collection. As she delves into the objects and images, she also keeps a diary of her final months in the dilapidated estate that has been her home for two decades and a refuge for those who have been displaced by disasters. Out of necessity, Penelope and her partner, Aidan, have sold the house and with its scheduled demolition comes this pressing task of building the archive. But with it also comes the impending arrival of Aidan&’s brother, Julian, who will return to have one final look at his childhood home. Penelope suffered at the hands of Julian twenty-two years ago during a brief but violent relationship, and as his visit looms large over her, she finds herself unable to tamp down the past in her efforts to build a possible, if uncertain, future. In this elegiac and spellbinding blend of narrative, essay and diary, Penelope&’s past, present and future collide as fear and loss close in around her, and she clings to art as a means of understanding, of survival, and of reckoning. Recalling the works of Rachel Cusk and Kazuo Ishiguro, Landscapes is an evocative reinvention of the pastoral and the country house novel for our age of catastrophe, and announces the arrival of an extraordinarily gifted new writer.
Lanny: A Novel
by Max PorterLonglisted for the 2019 Booker PrizeAn entrancing new novel by the author of the prizewinning Grief Is the Thing with FeathersThere’s a village an hour from London. It’s no different from many others today: one pub, one church, redbrick cottages, some public housing, and a few larger houses dotted about. Voices rise up, as they might anywhere, speaking of loving and needing and working and dying and walking the dogs. This village belongs to the people who live in it, to the land and to the land’s past.It also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, a mythical figure local schoolchildren used to draw as green and leafy, choked by tendrils growing out of his mouth, who awakens after a glorious nap. He is listening to this twenty-first-century village, to its symphony of talk: drunken confessions, gossip traded on the street corner, fretful conversations in living rooms. He is listening, intently, for a mischievous, ethereal boy whose parents have recently made the village their home. Lanny.With Lanny, Max Porter extends the potent and magical space he created in Grief Is the Thing with Feathers. This brilliant novel will ensorcell readers with its anarchic energy, with its bewitching tapestry of fabulism and domestic drama. Lanny is a ringing defense of creativity, spirit, and the generative forces that often seem under assault in the contemporary world, and it solidifies Porter’s reputation as one of the most daring and sensitive writers of his generation.

Larga sinfonía en D
by Margarita DaltonEsta nueva edición de Larga sinfonía en D y había una vez... recupera un texto clave de la literatura contracultural mexicana que durante décadas fue injustamente olvidado. Más que una novela, en estas páginas se esconde una experiencia psicodélica. Tres amigos de paso por Londres deciden probar juntos el ácido lisérgico, una droga capaz de distorsionar el tejido de la realidad y abrir la mente a estados de conciencia alternativos. En el proceso discuten sus ideas sobre el futuro, las relaciones, el arte y un sinfín de temas que fluyen de sus mentes en un torrente imparable de asociaciones semánticas y lingüísticas. Durante las diez horas que dura esta experiencia metafísica, la novela juega con la materia y el sentido del texto de una forma que nos acerca a las visiones provocadas por la sustancia: no somos simples espectadores, sino partícipes de este viaje a lo profundo de la psique humana La critica dice: «Leer Larga Sinfonía en D y había una vez... hoy no es sólo un viaje en el tiempo a esa década paradigmática, en México y el mundo, que fueron los sesenta. Es también una clave, una guía y una invitación a volver a leer con los ojos abiertos, a mirarnos en los espejos de la pared y los espejos de los ojos ajenos.» -Iván Aguirre
