Get Katja
This “fast paced madcap caper story . . . is a worthy sequel” to the author’s Fireball Award–winning industrial crime thriller Katja From the Punk Band (Publishers Weekly). After escaping the work island she once called home, Katja is free and on the mainland. But when she finally comes out of hiding, she finds herself hunted by debt collectors, mad surgeons, and a corrupt detective, all of whom will stop at nothing to claim her for their own. And behind this scramble for Katja lies the twisted mind of an old adversary, desperate to have his revenge. Replete with dark humor and careening action, Get Katja continues the critically acclaimed adventures of this industrial punk crime thriller by the author of Pretty Little Things to Fill Up the Void, Nothing Is Inflammable, and I-O.
Katja from the Punk Band
A punk girl turns outlaw in this award-winning industrial crime thriller that “reminds me of Harlan Ellison at his most daring and dangerous” (Jack O’Connell, author of Word Made Flesh). Katja, like everyone else stuck on the work island they call home, wants to get to the mainland by any means necessary. Shooting her boyfriend and stealing a chemical vial is one way to ensure her safe passage; the only problem is, she’s not the only one who wants the precious chemical—or the freedom it will bring. There’s Nikolai the joystick junkie; Aleksakhina, Katja’s parole officer; Vladimir Kohl, the small-time chemical dealer, and his boss Szerynski; the rival chemical lord Dracyev, and his lover, Ylena. And then there’s the Man In Red, ready and waiting for whoever is (un)lucky enough to end up with the vial. Winner of the Fireball Award, Katja From the Punk Band is Jackie Brown meets the Sex Pistols, “an excellent and fast-paced industrial crime novel,” and book one in the thrilling Katja series (Colleen Wanglund, The Horror Fiction Review).
Marcel Duchamp and the Architecture of Desire
Marcel Duchamp and the Architecture of Desire examines the link between architectural thinking and Duchamp's work. By employing design, drawing and making - the tools of the architect - Haralambidou’s work performs an architectural analysis of Duchamp’s final enigmatic work Given: 1. The Waterfall, 2. The Illuminating Gas… demonstrating an innovative research methodology able to grasp meaning beyond textual analysis. This novel reading of his ideas and methods adds to, but also challenges, other art-historical interpretations. Through three main themes - allegory, visuality and desire - the book defines and theorises an alternative drawing practice positioned between art and architecture that predates and includes Duchamp.
Revolving Door
The English debut of an idiosyncratic narrative voice. "What now?" wonders Asta, a nurse who has returned to Germany after a final assignment in Nicaragua. After over twenty years working for international aid organizations, her services are no longer needed. No one is waiting for her. She has nowhere to go. Even the language has lost its familiarity. She stands next to a revolving door at Munich airport, observing the other travelers as she smokes one duty-free cigarette after another. Some of these strangers resemble figures from her past, bringing memories of an adventurous life flooding back. Her catalog of tragicomic attempts at assistance in Germany, Nicaragua, India, Mongolia, and Tunisia raises questions about what it takes to help and whom we are really helping. Katja Lange-Müller's works have been critically acclaimed for their dark humor and affectionate, nuanced portrayals of characters wrestling with knotty situations and relationships. Revolving Door marks a fitting English debut of this most idiosyncratic of narrative voices.
Cancer and Inflammation
Chronic inflammation predisposes to some forms of cancer and the host response to malignant disease shows several parallels with inflammation and wound healing. The cells involved in inflammation are detected in a range of common cancers, together with the inflammatory cytokines and members of the chemokine ligand/receptor systems. Neutralization or deletion of the gene for some inflammatory cytokines confers resistance to tumour induction and experimental metastasis. Over-expression of such cytokines in tumour cells may enhance malignant potential. Certain chemokines are likely to subvert antitumour immunity by favouring development of ineffective Type 2 responses. Tumour cells may even uti...
