Los Angeles Times best sellerA stunning debut novel about love and forgiveness, about the violence of memory and the equal violence of its loss - from O. Henry Prize-winning author Emily Ruskovich. Winner of the Pacific Northwest Book Award Winner of the Dublin Literary Award Named One of the Best Books of The Year by Buzzfeed Ann and Wade have carved out a life for themselves from a rugged landscape in Northern Idaho, where they are bound together by more than love. With her husband's memory fading, Ann attempts to piece together the truth of what happened to Wade's first wife, Jenny, and to their daughters. In a story written in exquisite prose and told from multiple perspectives - including Ann, Wade, and Jenny, now in prison - we gradually learn of the mysterious and shocking act that fractured Wade and Jenny's lives, of the love and compassion that brought Ann and Wade together, and of the memories that reverberate through the lives of every character in Idaho. In a wild emotional and physical landscape, Wade's past becomes the center of Ann's imagination, as Ann becomes determined to understand the family she never knew - and to take responsibility for them, reassembling their lives - and her own.Finalist for: International Dylan Thomas Prize Edgar First Novel Award Young Lions Fiction Award “You know you’re in masterly hands here.

Rika Outcast: Rika's Marauders, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min

In the age of the Orion War... Rika is mech-meat, a cyborg killing machine, created by the Genevian military and cast aside when the war was lost. Now she slings cargo on Dekar Station, falling deeper in debt as she struggles to make enough money to keep her cybernetic body functioning. The local gangs would love to have her join their ranks, and the takings would pay her bills, but the only thing Rika hates more than what she's become, is killing for others. But morals don't buy repairs and she's at the point of utter desperation when her loan holder cashes in her debt and sells her to the highest bidder. When Rika wakes, she's in a warehouse on a planet she's never heard of, and a trio of mercenaries are reassembling her body. Their mission is to kill the world's president, and her mods and abilities are just what they need to get the job done. Whether she likes it or not, Rika is in the business of killing once more as she joins the ranks of the Marauders.

Queendom

Narrative einer neuen Ordnung Israels Beitrag zur 59. Venedig-BiennaleIlit Azoulay (geb. 1972 in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) ist bekannt für ihre fotografischen Tableaus, welche sich aus Alltagsgegenständen, Architekturfragmenten und Artefakten collagenartig zusammensetzen. Ihre einmalige Methodik der fotografischen Fragmentierung und Zusammensetzung bisher unbeachteter Gegenstände und deren Geschichten setzt sie in ihrem aktuellen Projekt fort. 2022 leistet sie den Beitrag für den israelischen Pavillion auf der Biennale in Venedig. Mittels großformatiger Panoramafotomontagen, einer kollaborativen Klanginstallation und architektonischer Interventionen überführt Azoulay den Pavillon von der eurozentrischen Moderne in die Zeitgenossenschaft des Nahen Ostens. Ausgehend von vergessenem Archivmaterial über mittelalterliche Intarsiengefäße islamischer Kunst steht die Frage des Eigentums an Bildern und der kulturellen Aneignung im Mittelpunkt. Das Queendom - eine Geschichte der Transformationen - ist aus einem allumfassenden Systemabsturz hervorgegangen, der aus einer Fehlfunktion bestehender Machtstrukturen resultiert, aus dem digitalen Raum überschwappt und eine neue Ordnung von Daten in die Realität spült.Diesen Umbruch greift die Künstlerin in der die Ausstellung erweiternden und experimentellen 360°-Publikation auf, die weder einen bestimmten Anfang noch ein Ende hat. Die Fotomontagen von Azoulay bilden als Kartografien des Queendom die Fixpunkte des Buches. Die akkumulativen Bildwelten und vielstimmigen Textbeiträge von Naomi Alderman, Timo Feldhaus, Tehila Hakimi, Hanin Hannouch, Shelley Harten, Sheikha Hlewa, Adi Keissar, Lali Tsipi Michaeli, Vicki Shiran und Anat Zecharia spiegeln die Fähigkeit des Queendom wider, ein vernetzter Raum der Wissensproduktion zu sein, in dem Erzählungen und Geschichte verschmelzen.Narratives of a new order Israeli Pavillion at the 59th Venice BiennaleIlit Azoulay (b. Tel Aviv-Jaffa 1972, lives and works in Berlin) is known for her photographic tableaus, which are composed of everyday objects, architectural fragments and artifacts in the manner of collages. In her current project she continues her unique method of taking apart and reassembling unregarded objects and their stories through macro-lens photography. In 2022 she will contribute to the Israeli Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. By means of large-scale panoramic photomontages, a collaborative sound installation and architectural interventions Azoulay transitions the Pavilion from euro-centric modernity to Middle Eastern contemporaneity. Based on forgotten archival research materials on medieval inlaid vessels of Islamic art, the question of ownership over images and of cultural appropriation takes center stage. The Queendom-a story of transformations- has risen out of an all-encompassing system crash, resulting from a malfunction of existing power structures, flooding out of the digital realm, and spilling a new order of data into reality.The artist picks up on this upheaval in a 360° publication, which expands on the exhibition and has neither a definite beginning nor an end. Azoulay's photomontages function as cartographies to the Queendom and focal points of the publication.The accumulative and polyphonic methodology of the book, with contributions by Naomi Alderman, Timo Feldhaus, Tehila Hakimi, Hanin Hannouch, Shelley Harten, Sheikha Hlewa, Adi Keissar, Lali Tsipi Michaeli, Vicki Shiran and Anat Zecharia, mirrors the Queendom's capacity as a rhizomatic space of knowledge production, where stories and histories merge.
