Between the Assassinations
Nestling on India's southern coast lies the town of Kittur. Ranging through the city's streets and schoolyards, bedrooms and businesses, its inner workings and its outer limits, through the myriad and distinctive voices of its inhabitants, this book presents an entire world. From the author of 'The White Tiger'.

So Much for That
The extraordinary new novel from the Orange Prize winning author of 'We Need to Talk About Kevin'. 'So Much For That' is a deeply affecting novel, told with Lionel Shriver's trademark originality, intelligence and acute perception of the human condition.
|
White Egrets
A collection of poems that treats such subjects as - the Caribbean's complex colonial legacy, the Western artistic tradition, the blessings and withholdings of old Europe (Andalucia, the Mezzogiorno, Amsterdam), the unaccomodating sublime of the new world, time's cunning passages, and the poet's place in all of this.
