The Clay Machine-Gun - Victor Pelevin - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Clay Machine-Gun - Victor Pelevin - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Clay Machine-Gun is a novel rich in hilarious paradox. Pelevin himself has described it as ''the first novel in world literature which takes place in an absolute void''. Controversially denied the Russian Booker Prize - the Jury President branded it as a kind of ''computer virus designed to destroy the cultural memory'' - the book became a huge cult success in Russia. The Clay Machine-Gun is a nightmarish fantasy about identity, crime and Russian history. The action cuts deliriously between present-day Moscow and 1919, the era of the Civil War, in which the narrator finds himself serving as a commissar in the division of the legendary commander Vasily Chapaev, and his formidable machine-gunner sidekick, Anna. Hailed as the greatest Russian novel of the post-Soviet era, The Clay Machine-Gun confirmed Victor Pelevin''s status as one of the brightest stars in the Russian literary firmament.

Tippoo Sultan's Incredible White-Man-Eating Tiger Toy-Machine!!! - Daljit Nagra - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Tippoo Sultan's Incredible White-Man-Eating Tiger Toy-Machine!!! - Daljit Nagra - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Look We Have Coming to Dover! , the remarkable debut by Daljit Nagra, marked the arrival of a thrilling new voice in poetry and won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection along the way. In this, his second volume, his writing shows every bit the same verve and excitement that made his first book an unmissable event. Tippoo Sultan''s Incredible White-Man-Eating Tiger Toy-Machine!!! takes its cue from the eighteenth-century automaton (a tiger savaging a British soldier) in a series of poems that begin at the throat of the old British Empire. In these vivid, real and sometimes surreal pieces, Daljit Nagra creates his own inimitable linguistic bhaji: where Shakespeare meets the Subcontinent in a range of forms from English sonnets to spectacular displays of ''bollyverse'' or the tender love songs of the monsoon. The poems take their bearings from cornershops and classrooms, the strange, part-arcadian, part-hellish streets of ''Londonstan'' and the places where the north of England collides with the Punjab: from Larkin to the ladoos in Raja t''Wonder Dog. Little escapes Nagra''s tigerish gaze: race relations, family feuds, cultural inheritance, religious bigotry, the British honours system, Rudyard Kipling, the blurring of Kevin Keegan with Kabbadi. Comic, hard-hitting, passionate, satirical, Daljit Nagra has written a book that is as powerfully thought-provoking as it is delightful.

Universality - Natasha Brown - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Universality - Natasha Brown - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

In the new novel from the author of Assembly, a viral longread exposé raises more questions than it answers. Remember - words are your weapons, they're your tools, your currency. On a Yorkshire farm, a man is brutally bludgeoned with a solid gold bar. A plucky young journalist sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the attack, connecting the dots between an amoral banker landlord, an iconoclastic columnist, and a radical anarchist movement. She solves the mystery, but her viral longread exposé raises more questions than it answers. Universality is a twisty, slippery descent into the rhetoric of truth and power. Through a voyeuristic lens, it focuses in on words: what we say, how we say it, and what we really mean. The follow-up novel to Natasha Brown's Assembly is a compellingly nasty celebration of the spectacular force of language. It dares you to look away.

Conflicted Copy - Sam Riviere - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Conflicted Copy - Sam Riviere - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Sam Riviere is a past master of taking and exploiting ‘found’ content and process and transforming it into poetry that captivates and unsettles. Here, he harnesses anxiety about AI only to exploit it for his own extraordinary ends. In this case, Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2), an open source neural network , is used to produce poems that, stripped of the usual authorial clutter, find themselves nonetheless cohering around a voice that speaks of the uncertainties, fears and desires of a world that is desperately, poignantly and recognisably human.''Riviere’s machine language, often delightfully clunky, also has its magical aspects, unplugging and rebooting our perceptual apparatus as we look over the shoulder of machines clumsily figuring us out. . . In turning poetry towards machine language, Riviere quietly kicks off a poetic revolution for our time.'' Guardian

Retromania - Simon Reynolds - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The first book to make sense of 21st Century pop, Retromania explores rock''s nostalgia industry of revivals, reissues, reunions and remakes, and argues that there has never before been a culture so obsessed with its own immediate past. Pulling together parallel threads from music, fashion, art, and new media, Simon Reynolds confronts a central paradox of our era: from iPods to YouTube, we''re empowered by mind-blowing technology, but too often it''s used as a time machine or as a tool to shuffle and rearrange music from yesterday.We live in the digital future but we''re mesmerized by our analogue past.

How to Win an Information War - Peter Pomerantsev - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

How to Win an Information War - Peter Pomerantsev - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Pomerantsev is emerging as the pre-eminent war reporter of our time. ObserverFrom one of our leading experts on disinformation, the incredible true story of the complex and largely forgotten WWII propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer - and what we can learn from him today. In the summer of 1941, Hitler ruled Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. Britain was struggling to combat the powerful Nazi propaganda machine, which crowed victory and smeared its enemies. But inside Germany, there was one notable voice of dissent from the very heart of the military machine, Der Chef, a German whose radio broadcasts skilfully questioned Nazi doctrine. He had access to high-ranking German military secrets and spoke of internal rebellion. His listeners included German soldiers and citizens. American officials and even the President tried to to decipher what it meant for the future of the war. But what these audiences didn't know was that Der Chef was a fiction, a character created by the British propagandist Thomas Sefton Delmer, just one player in Delmer's vast counter-propaganda cabaret, a unique weapon in the war. As author Peter Pomerantsev uncovers Delmer's story, he is called into a wartime propaganda effort of his own: the global response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. This book is the story of Delmer and his modern-day investigator, as they each embark on their own quest to seduce and inspire the passions of supporters and enemies, and to turn the tide of information wars.

Splendid's - M. Jean Genet - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Splendid's - M. Jean Genet - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Splendid''s , a two-act police thriller written in 1948, was never staged in Jean Genet''s lifetime. In 1952 he announced that he had destroyed the manuscript, and the play was assumed lost. Only in 1993 did a surviving copy reappear.Exhausted, unshaven and wearing evening dress, Genet''s gangsters never let go of their machine-guns - not even when they dance together. Their conversations contain some of Genet''s finest dialogue; an insane mixture of melodramatic speech-making and low-camp bickering, all wrapped up in a sexy pastiche of forties American film noir, lurching stylishly from tough realism into wicked black humour.Translated by writer, performer and director Neil Bartlett, this volume also contains an introduction by Genet''s biographer, Edmund White.

OK, Mr Field - Katharine Kilalea - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Mr Field, a concert pianist travelling back from a performance in London, fractures his left wrist in a train crash. On a whim, he uses his compensation cheque to buy a house he has seen only in a newspaper, a replica of Le Corbusier''s Villa Savoye built on a stretch of coast outside Cape Town. When he moves there with his wife Mim, the house – which Le Corbusier designed as ''a machine for living'' – has a disturbing effect. Mim disappears without apology or explanation and Mr Field can barely summon the strength to search for her. OK, Mr Field is funny and beguiling and like nothing you''ve ever read. It dwells in the silences between words, in the gaps in conversations, and in the distances between people. It confidently guides us into new fictional territory.

This Christmas, ''hand yourself over to be enchanted'' ( Guardian ) by the English genius behind witchcraft classic Lolly Willowes . ''Worth £9.99 for the book jacket alone (trust Faber) ... It’s exquisite and shivery, just like the stories within ... By turns creepy, melancholy, horrifying, tragic and beltingly romantic.'' Sunday Times ''One of our finest writers.''

Guardian ''Extraordinary, lucid wildness.'' Helen MacDonald ''Glinting perfection'' The Times Decades after her divorce, a lady returns to the village of her tumultuous marriage.

Another steals a friend’s kitchen knife.In these bittersweet tales, the author of Lolly Willowes reveals her mastery of the short story, celebrated by the New Yorker for decades. Sylvia Townsend Warner is a tragicomic chronicler of the heart’s entanglements, from marriages and affairs to widowhood; and a champion of outsiders, whether single women, the elderly or wartime refugees.Witty and subversive, her stories meld tradition and transgression, with secret sins and fetishes as much a feature of English life as eccentric aunts, country houses and parish churches.
