A marvellous blend of ever-changing landscape - be it light and shadow, swift transitiions from light to half light, mist, rain, tones and flowing lines - contribute to the dramatic essence of the novel. Culture and personality clashes and mystery, which portent much deeper clashes between spiritual and material values, provide a vastly enjoyable read.

Book Synopsis"What you could change and alter could never be finished or complete or dead. This is what I had been told back then, and what I had tried very hard to believe in since."Beside a lake in the northern Canadian wilderness, fifteen year old Zachary Tayler lives a lonely and isolated life with his father. His only neighbours are a leech trapper, an eccentric millionaire, and an expert in snow. But then one summer the enigmatic and shape-shifting Eva Spiller arrives in search of the remains of her parents and together they embark on a strange and disconcerting journey of discovery. Nothing at Sitting Down Lake is quite as it seems. The forest hides ruins and mysteries; the past can never be fully understood.

Scribe Publications Kruso
Book SynopsisWinner of the German Book Prize, from the winner of the 2023 Georg Büchner Prize. It is 1989, and a young literature student named Ed travels to the Baltic island of Hiddensee, a notorious destination for hippies, idealists, and those at odds with the East German state. On Hiddensee, Ed joins the community of seasonal workers, led by the charismatic, enigmatic Kruso. At night, they secretly help the refugees who have come to the island seeking passage to the West. But Kruso is preoccupied by another kind of freedom — freedom of the mind. As the wave of history washes over the German Democratic Republic, the friends’ grip on reality loosens and life on the island will never be the same.Trade Review‘An outstanding debut novel … Beautifully phrased and paced, Tess Lewis’s translation delights on every page as she conveys “the contagious sense of liberation” that blows through Mr Seiler’s mesmeric novel.’ * The Economist *‘An important work … in its chronicling of the final days of communism in East Germany … Excellent translation.’ -- Adrian Tahourdin * Times Literary Supplement *‘The German poet Lutz Seiler has brought all his art, linguistic ease, flair for dazzling images and mastery of what he describes as “the nervous systems of memory” to this extraordinary debut novel … Kruso is an exciting, expansive work of German literature; it may well prove one of the major novels of the 21st century.’ -- Eileen Battersby * The Irish Times *‘A seamless English translation by Tess Lewis … Readers might doubt whether Robinson Crusoe can work in a German setting — they might even feel affronted that it’s been attempted — but Seiler’s novel springs from his own experience in a way that underlines the universality of the tale.’ -- Maggie Fergusson * Newsweek *‘This novel set in the historic summer of 1989 is a lighthouse, not an ivory tower.’ * Süddeutsche Zeitung *‘Kruso [is] the first worthy successor to Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain to appear in contemporary German literature.’ * Der Spiegel *‘Seiler delivers a debut novel with which he manages to catapult himself into the front rank of this country’s authors.’ * Die Zeit *‘Seiler’s novel Kruso shows what German literature can accomplish when it’s fully worked.’ * Welt am Sonntag *‘A special book that will endure.’ * Frankfurter Rundschau *‘A sublime book that is far more than just the novel of the year.’ * Deutschlandradio Kultur *‘That rare treasure — a great novel.’ * Potsdamer Neueste Nachrichten *‘This novel has historical-philosophical dimensions: it is a significant contemplation on different forms of freedom as well as a wonderfully poetic exaltation of a concrete historical event — a truly great book.’ * 3sat Kulturzeit *‘Seiler’s novel is lyrical and powerful in its eloquence. Already he is to be counted among the great contemporary German literary figures.’ * WDR 5 *‘A multi-layered philosophical novel that poses a major question to us and to our time: How is freedom possible?’ * Die Zeit *‘Lutz Seiler’s writings trace their roots to Uwe Johnson’s poetry and reflect the German past, present and future beyond the surface of “simple truths” [...] In Kruso, Lutz Seiler visualises the hopes and constraints of a whole country by means of one singular place, Hiddensee, during one short period of time, June to November 1989.’ * from the statement of the Uwe-Johnson-Prize 2014 jury *‘If communism’s final moments are an island of time, Kruso is a bottled message washed up from those distant shores. A strange journey, Seiler’s novel subscribes to island rules, with historicity suspended above and between fevered dreams of perfect community and beguiling freedom.’ -- Letitia Montgomery-Rodgers * Foreword Reviews *‘The poetic language and careful expression to the prose in Kruso make for an arresting read too, slightly odd and off-beat, but quite compelling. It's also a novel of big themes — freedom (personal and political), longing (in all its gradations), and mourning, in particular — and the narrative's general sense of drift, with these bobbling up constantly but never overwhelming the story, is particularly well done. A fine, big novel.’ -- M.A. Orthofer * The Complete Review *‘Lutz Seiler employs lyrical, sensual language with a hint of magic to describe the summer of 1989 on the island of Hiddensee — a ‘gateway to evanescence’ … One can read this compelling Robinsonade involving the eponymous Kruso and the young dishwasher Edgar as an eloquent tale of both a personal and historic shipwreck — and as a poet’s coming of age novel … Lutz Seiler’s first novel impresses with its thoroughly distinct poetic language, its sensual intensity and its worldliness.’ -- Jury comments from the 2014 German Book Prize‘It is certainly an impressive book worthy of admiration. It sole focus on the lives of an outlying few in the telling of one of modern history’s most significant moments and the close intertwining of their lives with it, without ever directly addressing the politics or historical situation is a feat to behold.’ -- Raphael Solarsh * ArtsHub *

But our heroes are missing some manpower.People are going missing in a small mountain town. The city guard are blocked from a real investigation. The notorious Underguild has assigned Michel a secret mission: find the missing villagers and bring whatever kidnapped them to justice. Unfortunately for Michel (and his fellow adventurers, Ani and Hocus), they’re short a fighter and need one more party member to foil this plot. Even more unfortunately, the only volunteer seems to be the arrogant, ostentatious, purple playboy Prince Eugene looking to cure his boredom.

Acre Books On the Way to the End of the World – A Novel
Book SynopsisIn 1963, an eclectic group of characters embark on President Kennedy’s ambitious walking challenge. As the Cuban Missile Crisis eases, President Kennedy is casting around for a demonstration of American prowess when one of his Cabinet unearths an old mandate that US Marines be fit enough to walk fifty miles in twenty hours. Perfect! Kennedy decides to throw down the gauntlet to “today’s Marines,” but before he knows it, he’s sparked a wild fad. The entire country has answered the call, it seems, and for a few crazed winter weeks, masses of Americans will embark on their own arduous Big Walks—the “JFK 50-Milers.” Yet in tiny Humtown—an isolated mill town in the Pacific Northwest—not everyone who shows up for a hastily organized Big Walk is motivated by patriotism. Not Helen Hubka, an inveterate gossip; not the suicidal Caroline, who months earlier lost her beloved husband during the Storm of the Century. Not ex-soldier/fisherman Jaspar Goode, nor the unknown man in their midst, a collared priest who seems to shift identities at will. Certainly not Avis, a battered teenager running from her terrifying brother . . . with a stolen town treasure. And when the walkers stumble upon the abandoned car of a missing young mother, they rekindle a mystery that soon reverberates among them, exposing hidden truths, talents, and alliances. Splendidly imagined, with prose that sings on the page, On the Way to the End of the World is an adventure story riven with secrets, a national fairy tale twisted into a whodunit.Trade Review"[A] masterful microcosm of loneliness, loss, and courage. . . Harun’s spellbinding storytelling perfectly evokes both the menace and magic of human connection." * Booklist, starred review *“Harun's novel reverberates with nostalgia, psychological insight, and the sacredness of community.” * Kirkus Reviews *“On the Way to the End of the World is a marvel, a novel as breathtakingly suspenseful as it is beautifully written. Adrianne Harun manages to balance nostalgia, grief, and a growing sense of unease as she tracks her indelible characters on a historic fifty-mile walk that will end a certain kind of American innocence. This is one of the best books I’ve read in years.” * Jess Walter, author of "Beautiful Ruins" *“Every once in a while, a novel emerges with such rare insights it rewires our perception of history. In brilliant and pitch-perfect prose, Adrianne Harun transports us to the Kennedy era and introduces us to characters so immediate and dear we feel we’re no longer reading but rather eavesdropping on intimate conversations, secrets, and shattering revelations. Powerful and riveting, On the Way to the End of the World grips the edge of one changing world and catches us where we live today.” * Debra Magpie Earling, author of "Perma Red" and "The Lost Journals of Sacajawea" *"Both epic and intimate, this exceptional novel takes us on a remarkable journey, as vivid and alluring as it is unforgettable." * Rikki Ducornet, author of "Trafik" and "The Plotinus" *
