The City and the Mountains

By Jacinto Eca De Queiros, Margaret Costa

£11.99 26 Jan 2012 Paperback New Directions Publishing Corporation

Eca de Queiros's late novel is a hymn to country life: "The City and The Mountains" satirizes the emptiness of city life and of modernity itself. Wonderfully funny, it bubbles with joie de vivre.
Born in Paris, Jacinto is the heir to a vast estate in Portugal which he has never visited. He mixes with the creme de la creme of Paris society, but is monumentally bored. And then he receives a letter from his estate manager saying that they plan to move the bones of his ancestors to the newly renovated chapel--would he like to be there? With great trepidation, Jacinto sets off with his best friend, the narrator, on the mammoth train journey through France and Spain to Portugal. What they discover in the simple country life will upend their own lives deliciously.... Newly translated by the acclaimed translator Margaret Jull Costa, New Directions is proud to publish "The City and The Mountains," and to once again bring Eca de Queiros' brilliant prose to life.

After being kidnapped from her home in rural China, Huang is taken to Hong Kong and sold into prostitution. Yet thanks to her shrewd, sometimes devious business dealings and several twists of fate, she overcomes these cruel beginnings and finds success as a wealthy landowner. What follows is the epic story of Huang's family, lived under the shadow of colonialism. Adam Smith, a British officer, struggles with the competing seductions of Huang's beauty and British respectability; Qu Yabing, Smith's servant, despises anything Chinese, yet becomes Huang's lover; Huang's devoutly Christian daughter-in-law tries to redeem the sins she believes Huang has committed; and her great-granddaughter, a quintessential Hong Kong youth, turns her back on tradition to revel in the pleasures of the metropolis. In this unconventional and compelling tale, acclaimed Taiwanese writer Shih Shu-ching captures the rich detail and unique tensions of a vividly evolving Hong Kong.

Double Vision

21 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By George P Garrett (University of Virginia)

£25.95 21 Nov 2011 Hardback The University of Alabama Press

A writer named George Garrett, suffering from double vision as the result of a neurological disorder, is asked to review a recent, first biography of the late Peter Taylor, a renowned writer who has been his long-time friend and neighbor in Charlottesville. Reflecting on their relationship, Garrett conceives of a character - not unlike himself - a writer in his early 70s, ill and suffering from double vision, named Frank Toomer. He gives Toomer a neighbor, a distinguished short story writer named Aubrey Carver.

As the real George Garrett and Peter Taylor are replaced by two very different and imaginary writers, the story becomes a wise and insightful exploration of American literary life, the art of biography, the comical rivalries among writers and academics, notions of literary success, and the knotty relationship of art to life, fact to fiction, and life to death. Double Vision is a witty tour de force and an elegy for a gifted generation of American writers.

"Maggie Gee's excellent novel treads a sure path between love and fear. . . . I read it twice, and it was even better the second time."--Anita Brookner

"Full of poignancy and power"--Jeanette Winterson

"Heart-stoppingly exciting."--Time Out

A novel of towering stature, with all the stealth and suspense of a thriller, written in condemnation of violence and secrecy, in praise of courage and the redeeming power of love.

Maggie Gee was chosen as one of Granta's original Best Young British Novelists. She has published many novels to great acclaim, including The White Family, shortlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction and the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. She was the first female chair of the Royal Society of Literature, and she lives in London.

Invited to a quiet Swiss chateau by the enigmatic Tatiana Beaujeu Lehmann, Anne begins to slowly write a novel in a language that is not hers, a language that makes meaning foreign and keeps her alert to the world and its fiery horizon.

Will the strange intoxication that takes hold of her and her characters - sculptor Charles; his sister, Kim, about to leave for the far north; and Laure Ravin, a lawyer obsessed with the Patriot Act - allow her to break through the darkness of the world?
