HarperCollins Publishers Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind
‘Trippy, incisive, riotously funny’ ALEXANDRA KLEEMAN ‘[An] insightfully nightmarish parable ' HALLE BUTLER 'A stunner’ NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH ‘Luminous … as if George Saunders infiltrated the Severance writers’ room’ WASHINGTON POST A work place novel. A love story. A dream you can’t wake from… Jonathan Abernathy is a loser. Unemployed and behind on his student loan repayments, the only thing Abernathy has in abundance is debt. When a secretive government loan forgiveness programme offers him a job he can literally do in his sleep, Abernathy thinks he’s found his big break. Hired as a dream auditor, he finds himself entering the dreams of white-collar workers to flag their anxieties for removal at night so they'll be more productive in the day. If Abernathy can at least appear competent, might he have a chance at a new life? As Abernathy tries to find his footing in this new gig, reality and morality begin to warp around him. Soon, the lines between life and work, right and wrong, and even sleep and consciousness, have blurred and Abernathy begins to wonder just what he might have signed away… Wildly imaginative, laced with black humour and full of close-to-the-bone truths, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind is the cult workplace novel that’s like nothing else you've read before. ‘Surrealist … A scathing critique of capitalism’ TIME ‘A rare and fine achievement.’ THE TELEGRAPH 'Imagine the movie Inception, but populated by the middle-management workers in David Graeber’s book Bullshit Jobs' NEW YORK TIMES 'An excitingly original writer, inventing much needed and killingly funny satires for contemporary work and dreams of success' HOLLY PESTER ‘A revelation’ HILARY LEICHTER ‘An original mind brimming over with invention’ BEN MARCUS ‘An exuberant, poignant, freewheeling debut … very funny’ JEFF VANDERMEER ‘The spiritual sibling of Severance, but creepier’ LITERARY HUB

Oro Editions What Kind of Architect Are You?
Architecture is commonplace. We inhabit it and use it; it is constantly present; it serves as foreground and background and usually has a story to tell. Numerous volumes are devoted to its typology, history, construction, and design. But apart from its most illustrious makers, we know almost nothing about the people who conceived it: the architects. What Kind of Architect Are You?, the question most architects encounter when they reveal their profession, is difficult to answer. What Kind of Architect Are You? showcases a panoply of architectural practices to a reading audience that shares an interest in the profession. Topics range from the theoretical to design build, from installations that challenge our preconceptions to the set of TV shows on home remodelling, from instructing future architects in the US to expanding the reach of the profession worldwide. The collection offers a glimpse into a vast array of professional possibilities and points out meaningful alternatives to the prevailing myth of the 'starchitect'. It provides those in search of an architect with insights into how we work and helps them to formulate expectations. It challenges practitioners to think introspectively and examine how they fit into the architectural spectrum. And finally, the collection documents the cross-section of cultural and architectural practice across America. The reader may find that the 'voice' varies throughout the collection. That variation is consistent with the variety of architects included in fact, it underscores the myriad of responses to What Kind of Architect Are You?

Troubador Publishing A Certain Kind of Mistake
'A Certain Kind of Mistake' is one in a series of three novels by G M Hutchison, in which the central character in each of them has quite by chance, come face to face with the ramifications of some hugely significant global or national issue. Out of their depth in all this, they are being forced to think ‘outside the box’. BREXIT Foresaking Anna (page 203) describes a very dangerous situation that almost came to pass in the UK. COVID Am I Being Followed? (page 226) sees the origin and purpose of this pestilence through the eyes of a respectable religious fundamentalist. ANTI-SEMITISM A Certain Kind of Mistake (pages 11, 99, 310) mistakenly portrays a victim in the role of a predator Along with some of the most famous people in the land, G M Hutchison thinks very highly of his of his father’s ‘Uncle Bob’, the artist Robert Gemmell Hutchison, who found his calling early on in life to be later referred to as the ‘Scottish Israels’, no less. Unfortunately, G M Hutchison inherited absolutely none of his great uncle’s talent, and even more unfortunately, didn’t find his own particular calling as a ‘would-be’ novelist until he was about to lift his old age pension. Now a proud great-grandfather, six times over, G M Hutchison started school in Scotland just as the first bombs were being dropped in the 2nd World War. He clearly remembers a smouldering bombsite, right next to his home, in which a German landmine, during the previous night, had blown up a whole tenement building.

Little, Brown Book Group Close Encounters of the Furred Kind
Have you ever moved house, over a distance of 350 miles, with four cats? If you haven't, and are thinking about it, I'll give you some advice: don't. If you really must move, try to get the cats to arrange their own transport. Focus on yourself instead. You'll have plenty to think about as it is, and the cats will only get in the way with their sarcasm and hairballs. I moved from Norfolk to Devon with four cats and it felt like such an impossible ordeal, part of me believes that I actually died somewhere along the way and am now living in some kind of afterlife: very much like real life, but a little slower moving, and with slightly clearer air. "That's just the West Country," I've been told, but I can't be 100% certain.

Pegasus Books The Savage Kind: A Mystery
2022 Lambda Literary Award WINNER in LGBTQ Mystery Two lonely teenage girls in 1940s Washington, DC, discover they have a penchant for solving crimes—and an even greater desire to commit them—in the new mystery novel by Macavity Award-winning novelist John Copenhaver.Philippa Watson, a good-natured yet troubled seventeen-year-old, has just moved to Washington, DC. She’s lonely until she meets Judy Peabody, a brilliant and tempestuous classmate. The girls become unlikely friends and fashion themselves as intellectuals, drawing the notice of Christine Martins, their dazzling English teacher, who enthralls them with her passion for literature and her love of noirish detective fiction. When Philippa returns a novel Miss Martins has lent her, she interrupts a man grappling with her in the shadows. Frightened, Philippa flees, unsure who the man is or what she’s seen. Days later, her teacher returns to school altered: a dark shell of herself. On the heels of her teacher’s transformation, a classmate is found dead in the Anacostia River—murdered—the body stripped and defiled with a mysterious inscription. As the girls follow the clues and wrestle with newfound feelings toward each other, they suspect that the killer is closer to their circle than they imagined—and that the greatest threat they face may not be lurking in the halls at school, or in the city streets, but creeping out from a murderous impulse of their own.
